Shatterpoint Turn 1

First of all, FOURTEEN players. Damn, that's a lot of orders to manage. Actually, was there a larger forumfight before? I'm guessing Assault on Goatse Bunker had more players, but idunno actual numbers...

Moving on:

Apollyon

Image

The cavalry moves to the right, preparing to take action later.

Majisto and Gallikronn (mgb519)

Image

Gallikronn swoops to battle, but he's out of firing range. Meanwhile, Majisto cast a shockwave in the middle of the undead infantry, to 'clear some path'.

Ezra von Bragstein (Rev.Sylvanus)

Image

The abominations charge into action! Gallikronn fires on Rot Walker, but the damage is insufficient. While none of the rotting hulks reach into melee range, RW manage to fire a bolt of posion that hits a runeknight (-1 hp). They're backed by corruptors who are just barely out of reach.

Image

Ezra joins the fight after fumbling his heroic feat, and fires his poison scepter (ur: 3, 2d6 damage, useable in cc/6inch range) at a knight, sadly the damage is soaked up by the timely reaction of Apollyon, who casts a barrier spell.

Image

The Necrotitan ominously begins to walk towards the fray.

And here comes a fuckup from my part. Rev, the Doom Wailer was MIA this round because it had no crew/units assigned to it tow it closer to the fight. To compensate this, I'm giving you an almighty benny, which you may spend of summoning crewmen if you wish to do so. Sorry, my bad.

Arthel Wolfsbane (heavyfishcannon)

Image

Arthel engages Rot Walker, no damage is dealt. The Corruptors fire a hail of toxins at the soldiers, killing two, and losing on CC during the process because it critfails on the skillcheck and it explodes in its face.

Image

The crossbowmen back the infantry up and break off 1 hp from the RW.

Image

The Storm Titan follows the crossbowmen. 'Xalen, take my Löwenguard, they're yours to command!' says Arthel, donating some troops to the lone knight.

Xalen (Bragallot)

Image

Xalen advances forward (the Löwenguard following in tandem), and begins to cast some sort of spell...

Image

Suddenly, the trolley cart pusher starts to act on its own...

Image

... and rams the deadly device into the dreadknights!

Image

3 out of 5 are obliterated after the bizarre action. 'wot happand?' the puzzled troll wonders.

Image

Xalen revels in the havoc he had caused, and in a way that channels Deadlock he builds up some surplus energies from the destruction.

'Beaky' (Robot Monkey)

Image

Beaky calls forth a fireblast!

Image

A pillar of fire emerges beneath the runeknights, killing the on that got poisoned, and wounding Apollyon (-1 hp).

Liana (Scratch)

Image

Liana gives some archery training to the crossbowmen, giving them +4inches of range, which means... sniping time!

Image

Rot Walker takes a ridiculous amount of damage (28 points), which is more than enough to overkill it, and we know what's going to happen...

Image

Whilst Arthel, CG and Ezra survive the explosion, RW still takes 3 corruptors and 1 swordsman with it to the afterlife.

Image

After that Liana's troops advance.

Valeera Silverdream

Image

The elves pause and wait for a better time to strike, all but Valeera, who calls forth the powers of nature to fight against evil.

Image

Her summons are successful, causing a line of thorny foliage to sprout in front of the Dark Horde, which doubles as living barbed wire (1d6 damage to any unit crossing it).

Drakhirri Cytheran

Image

The lord and his longblades move to combat, preparing for counterattacks/feats.

Gragh the Bone Behemoth Predator

Image

Gragh orders his troops to march forward, giving them +2 inches of movement, then the large horde of undead begin to relentlessly push forward.

Grok Steelhide Zupponn

Image

The trolley cart tries to make-up for his mind controlled shenanigans...

Image

... by getting rid of the greenery, doubling the cart as a makeshift lawnmower, with surprising success! Grok gives further movement to the operator via feat.

Image

Then, led by the cart, the orks start to move towards the siege line.

Image

The other trolls move out as well.

Ferdinand von Bragstein Silent-sigfig

Image

Ferdinand and the engineer combine their engineering prowess and create...

Image

The second death machine or the first armored car on Medivo? You decide.

Image

It demonstrates its use by blasting apart the front of the trolley cart.

Image

Which is then completely destroyed by cannonfire.

Blaze Ironbreaker - lawmaster

Image

Blaze lends the warmachine to von B, then moves with all of his troops forward. Miners burrow and tunnel underground.

Black Centurion - Pwnerade

Image

The forces advance into the fray!

Meanwhile, the Amplifier in the Hold is starting to power up...

Overwatch and kills:

Image

Apollyon
mgb519
Rev. Sylvanus - 7
heavyfishcannon
Bragallot - 3
Robot Monkey - 1
Scratch - 1
Silverdream
Cytheran
Predator
Zupponn
Silent-sigfig
lawmaster
Pwnerade

It was something like forty, if I remember right, with new people joining all the way up to the very end. You can see most of them here: http://www.brikwars.com/forums/images/b ... nker98.jpg

ZZD also had an unusually large number of players over the course of its run.

I'm still sad that the shockwave didn't knock people down like it was supposed to. Did he fail the roll?
