Winter Has Arrived Turn 4

Trattorians
Image
The Trattorians waste no time, not even for an Overwatch picture (*cough*), in eliminating one of the few RIN ships remaining on the board.

Image
The fleeing light carriers are also not spared.

Image
The Trattorian fighters fighters have taken offense at all the complements towards the RIN in their dogfighting ability, and decide to challenge that statement.

Image
While they do kill some RIN, they are not as successful and merely prove their inferiority.

Praetorians
Image
If you’re good at reading where’s waldo, this picture should be no problem. Three Praetorian escape pods abandon ship of the wrecked V.

Image
Meanwhile the flagship Space Oddity fires its large laser turrets at the charging Avalonians. They miss the relatively agile frigates but the smaller point-defense lasers hit.

Image
The cockpit of one Type-C is blown out, however the rest of the ship is still functioning.

Image
The Life on Mars and the frigates cull their fire and blow more Bavarians to the heavens.

Image
Finally, the lone Praetorian fighter moves out and dogfights with an RIN one.

Image
Ultimately the RIN fighter is destroyed.

RIN
Image
All remaining RIN forçes (a destroyer, a gunboat, a space station, and the asteroid bases) barrage the Trattorian flagship hoping to take out the bridge.

Image
The crew brace themselves for...relatively nothing. The RIN definitely needs reinforcements now.

Image
The damaged cruiser (now dubbed the Inspirational) moves a pitiful one inch towards the Praetorians.

Image
The RIN fighters deftly eliminate another whole squadron of Trattorian fighters.

Akkadians
Image
The attack frigates join the Avalonian charge.

Image
The bombers fire torpedoes at the Praetorians.

Image
Marked with an easy-to-identify purple, the torpedoes can’t make it as far as the Praetorians and will continue to move 8” per turn.

Image
Similarly, the marine drop pods are fired in the Praetorian’s direction as well, with 8” movement per turn.

Image
I think the Akkadian fighters and gunboats mop up some more fighters, not entirely sure.

Bavaria
Image
The Bavarians move full speed ahead.

Image
They give the first paint-scratches to the Life on Mars.

Image
Their friénds in the fighters swoop in to deepen those “scratches”.

Image
Ah, that’s more like it for the TA!

Image
The other Bavarian squadron diverts to back up the RIN.

Image
And they also terminate a Praetorian escort frigate.

Image
I just randomly move the asteroid when I come to think of it, so here it is clipping the bridge off the RIN destroyer. Nothing personal.

Avalonians
Image
I think the Avalonians look really badass charging like that, so I gave them a back-view.

Image
Admiral Sidnakli: It’s been an honor, men.

Image
And with that, the bridge explodes. The stress caused by the damage also splits the Space Oddity into halves. While not useless and still able to fire, I’d say its resale value has taken quite a hit.

Normally I wouldn’t handle direct “herp derp let’s directly explode the bridge” orders but here I just treated the bridge as a structure with the agility rating of a frigate and everything was fine. The Praetorians are demoralized by the loss of their leader and near-destruction of their flagship and receive a -1 skill penalty next turn.

MASS
Image
The MASS fleet moves up.

Image
Half the escort frigates destroy a good portion of the forward Bavarian fighter squadron.

Image
While the other 6 and the cruisers focus on the Bavarian cruiser. It melts under their gaze.

The Third Alliance is losing, fortune surely smiles upon the AN forçes, until...
Secret Faction B Unlocked: Siri Loyalists

Image
Siri Loyalists: Trattorians, you are hereby ordered to stand down and fight for the Third Alliance. Hail our glorious leader Siri!

Nope, Trattorians in this battle are still allied with the AN. As for the more general picture of the brikverse, well, I'll explain that after the battle.

Launch fighters and have them attack the Twattorian ones. Any left over ones will attack the Praetorian fighters and smaller Twattorian and Praetorian ships. The propaganda beam will shoot at the largest relatively undamaged Twattorian ship. All the my ships will finish off the most damaged ships or just generally concentrate fire on the Twattorian, Praetorian and MASS ships.

EDIT: Drat, that was supposed to be a PM!

Siri is currently attempting to overthrow the Trattorian government. The coup is in progress, but I'm assuming she has managed to convert some to her cause.
