Operation Blau turn 2

Post by Apollyon » Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:06 am

Briktopian Infantry (Theblackdog)

Image

Raszck and the Ghost Brigades manage to take out the Prowler's tracks.

Image

The Prowler responds by spraying the attackers with its machine gun. Raszack is redshirted, one Ghost
Brigade goes down and the remaining two aren't hit/saved by their armor.

Image

The Jaguar tries to get at the back of the Vindicator and on its way shoots another grenade at the Prowler. But
the explosion is not large enough to damage it.

Image

Two troopers are almost able to enter the tank, one shoots at the occupants but does not hit.

Image

With overskill dice the Red Tub's pilot hits the supertank's tracks - which barely succeeds in its armor roll. phew.
Meanwhile the Vindicator's Mechanik repaired the mainguns.

Image

Apollyon lands on the Vindicator, yet crit-fails to kill the Mechanik with his Nova Sword.

Image

The helmet mounted pain amplifier brings him writhing down anyway (disrupted).

At this point the batteries of my camera died. But i immedeatly went to the supermarket and got new ones. :boss:

Briktopian Tank Company (Heavyfishcannon)

Image

Avenger and Schreck tanks move forward and prepare response fire.

Image

The siege tank fires at the Mechanik but misses with both guns.

Image

The Avenger tries to take out the people mower but does not hit either.

Vindicator Super Heavy Battle Tank (Darkpaladin)

Image

The Vindicator disregards anything in its way as it moves on. Avenger and Delta tank get pushed aside like the toys
they are, both are dealt enough crash damage to lose one point of damage size. Also one horse dies.

Image

This brought the Vindicator in range of the other Avengers main gun as well as the Schreck which fires a MkIII-OT warhead rocket.

Image

Such a large target is almost impossible to miss. Combined they do one point of size damage to the Vindicator (13 remain).

Image

Fire is returned immedeatly.

Image

The Schreck tank is hit and very lucky with its rolls as it still lives.

Image

Almost as an afterthought the Vindicator does another point of size damage to the Delta tank...

Image

...and the Avenger which is in really bad shape now. The Vindicator's AA gun on the turret needs to be reloaded next turn.

Civilians (Lawmaster)

Image

Some people enter the bar and complain how crowded the place is.

Image

Outside they discuss politics, namely if politicians should reveal their income, tax returns etc or not.

Biker Gang and The Village People (Silvadream)

Not pictured: inside the bar the Village People start a conversation about dapper rights in the military.

Image

The Biker Gang speeds towards the Vindicator. Dora, Doro and the others have to jump out of their way.

Image

Will the Vindicator bail from the Bikers charge? We'll know next turn...

They are controlled by Silvadream. That should be sufficient as an answer.

Maybe they'll get jammed up in the mower from a crit-fail or something.

@ App.: That is a pretty strong argument.

I'm pretty sure the outcome will be a critical failure no matter the rolls.

The photo of the Vindicator firing the main gun makes me wish it had tried to use the barrels to baseball-bat Apollyon into oblivion.

I had the same idea. But since it is my own forces against my own forces i am at a loss which side to root for and fudge orders accordingly.

Oh that's easy. Always fudge in favor of mayhem. And if that doesn't work, roll dice.

I also can't stress how much I like that yellow super heavy tank. I know I've said it before but still. Every time I see it again, I like it more and more. Mow those biker dudes! :twisted:

Ah, these diplomats! What chatterboxes! There's only one way to shut them up - cut them down with machine guns. Bulganin, go and get me one!
