[KromKon] Struggle Through the Streets [FINISHED]

[Dienekes22]

Continued from: Here



The citizens of Nova Eternia do their best to ignore the conflict closing in on the city.



Rooftop lounges are busy. Customers dawdle and delay going to a shelter.



Things seem fine here, what could an enemy want?



Dr Erica Plemons, however, is anything but calm.

"I"m sorry, you WHAT?" she shouts

"We've sent your coordinates to our troops near the city. They should be converging on your position."

"You've given us away! We've lost our only advantage!"

"It wasn't my call."

A member of the crew nearby interrupts the call. "Our systems are contested. Someone is inside the center."

"Are they close?" the doctor asked.

"No idea. They could be anywhere, and this facility is like two square miles. I just know there are breaches all over."

"For fuck sake, control! I told you--"



Dr. Erica's shouts shouts of rage muffle in the workshop below. A worker scans a recently completed APC for defects.



The other is lowered from a lift, the crew satisfied.



The escort hasn't arrived. A single speeder trooper stands by, flirting with an engineer. A mysterious figure remains unnoticed.



An officer leads some troops into the workshop, though not on purpose. "Where even are we, sir?" The magik crystals that power the workshop hum pleasantly.



Andy Anderson, the supervisor in the yellow helmet, supervises the final preparations for the convoy. He knows they don't have the supplies, but they are out of time.




These control consoles look very important.




The controls to the main blastdoors are located both in and outside the workshop.




The side entrance leads to the reception area. Even with the enemy at the gates, some appointments must be kept.



Crash and his remaining troops make their way through an alley.



"We're almost there," he says. The soldiers stack up behind him. One last sprint through to their goal. It can't be that easy.



Two members of the Imperial Magikstrate's special forces carefully make their way toward the office.

"Do you know where we are?" one of them asks the officer.

"This place is a maze," he replies, "hopefully the rest of the unit shows up around here."



Two others quietly open their comms. "We're in a huge work area. Some kind of factory, or something. Anyone close?"



"H̸̦̪͚̥͈͒̓̐̌e̸̲̯̖̠̯̒̔̎̀y̴͕͗ͅ ̷͕̝͉͍̈́̈́̎ͅf̵̗̞̗͙͐̑̋́̓̏u̸̢̪̱̩̥̜͂͛̎̄͐̑c̶̺̥̼̀̌̽ḱ̴̗̟̘͜ę̵̳͛͑̀̀r̶͓̝̥͎͈̺͆̀͗̈́̐͘ŝ̵̹̰͖̘̓̎!" Eldon shouts, flanked by a few Terrorkhan, uninterested in sneaking around like the Imperial Magikstrate.



High above the street is an unassuming Brootalz Kawfee stand...

Or... is it?



"Bwa ha! Let's git it!" the manager shouts, revealing himself to be a War Manager.



From out of nowhere he is surrounded by more Brootalz, banging their chests and making all manner of outrageous noises.



"What are we looking for, again?" a USA soldier asks, peeking around the corner of a dark alley.



"All I know is that it's vital we take it back from these Skion bastards."



They are much closer than they know. What could be in the case?



"I've got an overview of the street," A Luchardsko trooper announces.



The troops form up around him.



Hm, what's this? A box of treasure? Loot, perhaps?



"Okay, you're doing great," the space cop says to the new recruits. "Today we're learning about civil forfeiture. So, we want this box of valuables, and when we find it we're going to just take it. It's all perfectly legal."

The recruits nod, already checking the ammunition in their rifles.



The door to the street level sandwich shop is thrown open. Staff and customers run into the street shouting.



Aha! The restaurant has been commandeered by Irorian forces!



"I see the enemy," C-01 says.



"Roger, roger."
"Roger, roger."
"Roger, roger."
"Roger, roger."



"We've been wandering through here for a long time," the Studland hero says to his forward scouts. "Are we almost out? I'm tired of all the molten steel."



"The door is just up here," they answer, relieved.




Overwatch

Sign ups are "open"

Only two of the starting factions are open for now, unless anyone below backs out. There's plenty of factions up for grabs later, though, so stay tuned.

Skion: Cybrandir
Imperial Magikstrate: reserved for ReddestRover
Immortals: Arkbrik
Brootalz: KommanderKen
USA: reserved for Silent Sigfig
Luchardsko: reserved for Falk the person from Brikwars

Skion's (and the rest of AC) goal is to get the core to the convoy. Everyone else is trying to steal it.

Most factions can expect reinforcements.

I'd suggest you reply on Discord if you want a spot. I'll do my best to monitor replies here, also. When everything is finalized I'll get stats sent out and then I'll be ready for orders. Orders will only be accepted on Discord.

[Falk]

Falk the person from brikwars reporting in

[Dienekes22]

I added a forgotten photo of the controls to the main workshops doors.

To keep from cluttering the main post too much, any special rules or advice will go here.

Turn order will be mostly random with preference given to whoever sends orders first.
Reinforcements and new factions will be added each turn according to randomness and need. Don't stay in one place too long, because new units can drop in anywhere.
This topic will be updated over time instead of new topics for every turn.

My children are an environmental hazard. I won’t fix anything they mess with, so watch out!

Skion's exterior forces, being the "attacking" team, will usually go first, and then turn order will be in order that orders were received.
If two opponents are trying to do the same thing on a given turn that action will likely happen "simultaneously" since there's no way for the later player to change their orders.

[Dienekes22]

Skion



The lobby is pretty peaceful, for an escalating warzone.



Boom!



Crash and his Skion force stroll inside.



"Who has a cell phone?" Crash shouts to the last few citizens still inside.



"I've got one!"

Crash uses it to dial a friend in battlefield command.

"Crash, what's up? Aren't you a little busy?"

"I'm trying to get through the red tape right now, man."

"What do you want?"

"Some cover."



A few moments later, a Strike pilot radios in.

"What's that Crash? You want some cover?"



The jet screams toward the street and drops its payload.



Hissssss... fizz... SPLOOOOOOSH the smoke ordnance starts to drift around the street.



Citizens run for cover and the only motorist around drives up on the curb, forcing a passerby to bail into the street.

Smoke will last for approximately three turns (unless I forget or need the cloud elements for something else)



The Skion make ready to venture out.
"Look both ways!" Crash says.

Menders of Construction (out of order due to USA's directive)



The MoC troops hustle forward toward the smoke. One waves to the USA troops stacking up in the alley. "Don't mind us!" he shouts.



The MoC hero shouts down the street towards a familiar face. "Saul! Saul! We have got to talk!"



Saul Corningstone III always has ears for new clients. "Absolutely!"

Saul will start negotiations next turn!

USA

The Spacecops see something out in the street...



The USA rocket launcher fires through the door and into the store. (The door absorbed one die of damage)



The round goes off right in the center of the group. Three of the cops had space to bail away, but Sarge and one rookie are caught in the blast.



Sarge is unharmed but Disrupted and one rookie is blown to pieces. First Blood!



The USA troopers pile in and shoot at sarge from the doorway, they are able to do 1HP of damage! (1 remains)



The USA hero follows, and uses his chainsaw to decapitate sarge.



USA troops pull back.



Undeterred, the remaining rookies jump into action. One rookie is boosted into a vent.



Oof! After crawling around for a while he falls onto his back one level above.



The other rookies take positions near the door. One of them dons her sergeants helmet, thus becoming Super Rookie, the Spacecops new hero!



The cops shoot through the door, killing one USA soldier but failing to damage the fire hydrant.

Immortals



Eldon leaps into the air while a Terrorkhan guns down an engineer.



He crashes into the driver's seat of an APC!

The other Terrorkhan jump onto the APC also, while the third messes with the control console.



From atop the APC the Terrorkhan target the nearby Skion. They kill a scientists but just miss the speeder trooper.



An engineer notices the Terrorkhan's inputs.
"Hey, buzz out!" He tries to fight the intrusion from his own console.



He's partially successful. The Terrorkhan is only able to open one of the Matter Machine doors.



Eldon reverses the APC into the forklift.



He isn't able to get very far, but he manages to spill the forklift's payload.

Luchardsko



Luchardsko takes their positions by the windows and on the balcony.



The Hero and the last trooper make their way upstairs.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, sir?" the trooper asks

"Oh, yeah," the hero replies.



The hero quickly dumps the huge TV onto the ground and flips the console stand to use as cover, much to the disappointment of his companion.



They're in good position.

Iroria



The hero hands his scoped rifle to an underling, who perches out of the door looking for a target.



Meanwhile, he tries to rip apart his gun and produce blue juice for his troops to drink. Unfortunately, the interior is dry.
(Feat failed but I don't have any munchfigs, so instead this happens)

The other troops take up positions.

Skion engineering

The speeder trooper, furious at the sudden loss of the cute scientist, mounts up and charges the APC.



He blows apart one tire. The guns on the speeder are ineffective.



The forklift, still functioning, grabs two troops.



They roll toward the action. Both troopers whiff their shots at the Terrorkhan.



An engineer grabs the massive chainsaw and giggles with fury. She can't get to the fight just yet.



"What do you mean I can't be seen today! I had an appointment!"

"I just think the gunfire outside should be your clue that--"

"Ma'am, I demand you call your manager!"



One engineer grabs the other APC and rams Eldon. They collide slowly and nobody is harmed.

Studland

"Hm, I don't think we can break apart the ceiling..."

Studland gets two full turns in Turn 2

Imperial Magikstrate



The spec ops soldiers round the corner and start shooting the science crew. One is killed but the Dr. Erica survives.



Down below, the other two debate their orders.

"What did they say? I couldn't understand anything. The comms are shit."

"I just heard 'kill blue guys,'" the second replies.

They nod and fire toward the speeder, missing both their shots.

Brootalz



McShooty Brootsoot points his gun toward the droids. "Look boys! SPARE PARTS!"



He attempts to kick the popcorn machine.



He completely whiffs.



Landing right on his back.



These two Brootalz try to shoo away the civilians, "Ay! Get goin'!"

"Where are we supposed to go? This is a corner!!"



The remaining troops charge toward the droids, guns blazing.



They strike two but deal no damage.

Clankers



"Sir! What do we do!" one of the droids asks their officer.

"Roger, roger," the officer says.

"He's glitched!" a second droid cuts in.



The droids take cover and fire back at the Brootalz, killing one.



"Sir, snap out of it!"

"Roger, roger."



Hmm... what's this?



It's gone! Just like that!

[Dienekes22]

In the future, this will be part of the turn, but I'm not used to this scale so here we are.



"Very interesting," a mysterious figure whispers.



"So, this is the fight," a new voice says calmly.



Orlogrod arrives on the scene.



A new Overwatch of the workshop.



Meanwhile, outside, the fighting draws the attention of the Grand Galactic Empire.



"Find cover! The core could be anywhere," their hero shouts.



"Oi! There's some action! Jolly good!"



Britannia arrives on a rooftop.

Duerer is in as Orlogrod.
ninja_bait is in as GGE, if he chooses.
BoultonPaulDefiant is in as Britannia.

Send orders for Turn 2

[Dienekes22]

Skion



Skion troops cautiously enter the smoke cloud, hidden from view but very much exposed.



Suddenly, Crash is stopped by none other than Saul Corningstone III.

"Greetings, Crash, we haven't been formally introduced. As you see in the line above I am Saul Corningstone III."

The figs shook hands.

"Let's get down to business, I represent the Menders of Construction LLC, and my client would like to offer you the defense of this Matter Machine Complex, hereafter referred to as the installation, with my client's vast knowledge of building improvised defenses."

Crash looks around, incredulous, while Saul continues speaking.

"Of course, of course, I hear what you're saying. That sounds a little too good to be true. My client will want a fair price for their assistance, both in knowledge and effort. In exchange all my client asks is for access to Skion vehicle blueprints (to be specifically named at a later date) and for loot (as discovered and also to be determined later).

"Did you just speak in parentheses?" Crash asks.

"Anyway," Saul says, "Do we have a deal? I'm certain we can come to an agreement."

"Uh... sure." Crash says, aware that he and his troops are just standing in the middle of a street of an active warzone.

"Excellent! That was definitely binding. I have the documents drawn up, bla bla bla, and I'll make sure my people get with your people. In any case, enjoy the assistance in the defense. I'll be around should you need anything!"

Skion and Menders of Construction are temporarily allied!



The troops take cover as best they can, still inside the smoke cloud.



Except for the officer, who takes advantage of his position to shoot at USA. He smokes the USA rocket launcher.



The concussion of the shot dislodges the wanted poster from the wall. Where is it floating off to?



From inside the smoke a trooper does her best to shoot towards USA, but she is unable to connect.

USA



The USA hero shoots toward the muzzle flashes (feat success!)



He just misses the officer, but the flower bed is damaged.



He is able to kill the trooper in the cloud, however.



USA shoots wildly through the doorway and the rookie inside returns fire.



Nobody is harmed, but the rookie and one USA soldier lose their weapons.

Luchardsko



Everyone piles upstairs.



"Let's open things up!" the hero shouts. He uses his chainsaw to break open the tempered glass window.



Everyone immediately shoots the closest Brootal.



The hero shoves the tv stand across the gap. "Who's first!?"



Nobody is very eager.

SpaceCops



The rookie up top gets in position above the USA.



His great vantage is ruined by poor marksmanship.



Down below, the rookie and hero fire wildly. The hero tried to deputize nearby civilians, but her voice was lost in the gunfire (feat failed)



They miraculously dome the unarmed USA soldier.

Britannia



"Check this out, lads!"



The Britannian hero uses her OTC to cut through the roof.



She then falls right through the hole.

"That's a wee hole, innit?" one of the men says.



The hero gets up and blasts the clanker hero.



The other clankers flee in fear, towing C-01's lifeless body.

(If Brag wants back in I'll reinforce the clankers, but he's been silent so I'll give that territory to active players)



The Britannians jump down to join their leader.



The quickly gun down the charging Brootalz.

Immortals



Eldon continues reversing the APC, the Skion engineers are able to bail out of the way.



The Terrorkhan shoot grenades toward the red console.




They hit accurately, killing both engineers. The console and crystal storage, however, are unharmed.



Since the red console is no longer manned, the Terrorkhan up top can fully open the Matter Machine.



Eldon whips the APC around, slamming into the forklift. However, the force of the blow is reduced by some clutter and the foreman's body (feat failed).



The foreman is cut in half, however.

Brootalz



"Enough of this!" Brootsoot stands and makes ready to get his revenge.



He picks up the popcorn machine!



And immediately drops it on top of himself... (feat failed)



Hot butter spills all over the ground.



The last Brootal considers his options.



Enraged, he charges the Britannians.



He's able to kill one!

Menders of Construction



With their alliance secured, the MoC keep running toward the main door.

Orlogrod



The Orlogrod units take cover near the APCs.



They quickly dispatch a Terrorkhan.



Two others shoot at Skion units, but both roll so bad they drop their guns.



One of them is cut down on response fire.



The other Terrorkhan is slain by Orlogrod's mighty sword.



"You're surrounded, Eldon."

Imperial Magikstrate



Two of the spec ops units make their way toward the office.



Science staff flee for their lives from one firefight to another.



"Let's find some loot..." the officer says.



"Aha! A list!"

"What's it say?" the other trooper asks.

"No idea, it's in Skion, but it looks important."

That means it is!
New IM secondary objective: secure the list! (by leaving with it off any edge of the battlefield except the one they arrived at)



They take positions and await orders.

Skion Engineers



Trouble brews on the stairs as the scientists try to leave but someone with a chainsaw wants to go up.



The APC reverses...



And traps Eldon in place. Things aren't looking good!



The troops on the forklift aim their weapons at Eldon, ready to take him out.

"WAIT!!"



The mysterious figure takes control of the frame.



"This won't do! Take this! and that!"



Immortals emergency reinforcements!!



Gunfire erupts.
Apparently I didn't take a photo of the aftermath. Two Immortals, one of the Skion on the forklift, and an engineer die.



Meanwhile, the mysterious figure tries to use his new flame sword to kill the speeder trooper, but he fails.

Back to Skion Engineers



The speeder tries to kill an Orlogrodian, but he fails.



"I will have my appointment!!" the entitled man shouts, standing on the reception desk.

Iroria



The wanted poster gently lands near the restaurant.



They scoop it up as they charge out of the door into the alley.



The sniper gets a free shot at Saul, but a civilian gets redshirtted just like that.



"We can sneak in," the hero explains, "if we look like this wanted poster. Check the trash for good disguises."



"Oh, check it out! There's enough hats for all of us, and there might even be a shirt, or two!"

Republic of Studland



One of the troops messes with the controls.



The overflow tank starts to fill with molten metal, but it strains through the pipes. The sabotage worked. Very soon there will be some real problems around the battlefield.



They move quickly into the street and gun down the SpaceCop.



He lands below.



"Hold here!"

Grand Galactic Empire



The civilians scatter as new troops take their cover.



A staredown with Iroria commences.



They shoot indiscriminately through the scattering civilians, killing two!
No GGE or Irorians are harmed.
(I thought this would be more fun than a shootout near the door)



The hero tries to kick the door in but it opens automatically.

"Do you also have an appointment you can't miss?" the receptionist asks sarcastically. The entitled man doesn't know what to do now, so he just stares.



Alana arrives with another special operative.



USA gets reinforcements.

"I told you we were close!" one of them shouts.

"This is not how we wanted to get here," the other says with a sigh.



They are a little exposed.



The VOL arrive with a wave of heat!



A Skion drone casually drops into the airspace.



Some Brootalz arrive! And not a moment too soon!

[Dienekes22]

Some players went out of order because I was not well organized, but I don't think it ended up being a very big deal.



The overflow tank is full, and now the runoff is being forced back through the grid.

Skion



Skion troops sprint toward the door, leaving the obscurity of the smoke cloud.



The machine gunner makes it to the door controls.



Almost there...



The Skion drone didn't receive orders and therefore remained in place.

Grand Galactic Empire



The citizenry make a concerted effort to leave.



"Um, do you have an appoint--"

Major Dynickys cuts off the sassy receptionist.



The rest of the GGE pile into the office.

Orlogrod



The Orlogrod hero aims for Eldon, but he rolls poorly.



The infantry gun down the Skion speeder pilot.



The speeder is promptly commandeered by the unarmed soldier nearby.

United Systems Alliance



USA's reinforcements take cover behind the civilians.



On the other side of the field, the USA hero grabs the dropped launcher. The soldier nearby shoots at the cops but he misses.



The hero pulls up the fire hydrant. Instead of water, a lava flow erupts from the concrete. He loads the hydrant into the launcher...



... and fires it at the new SpaceCop hero!



A direct hit! The SpaceCop hero takes 1HP of damage! (1 remains)

Luchardsko



The troops pile across the gap and onto the other building.



They take aim at McShooty...



Everyone misses badly, and the hero and a trooper's guns just break.

The VOL



The VOL hero and a Volkyrie leap from the rooftop toward the Brootalz.



The hero squashes a Brootal!



The VOL above fire down on the Britannians.



One of the Brits dies while the Einherjar attacks the hero.



But she takes care of him with a skillful counter.

Immortals



Eldon believes he pushes the self destruct on the APC and then leaps out with his jump pack.



Nothing happens (feat failed)



Not deterred, the Terrorkhan shoots a grenade.



It blows away three Orlogrod units.



The mysterious figure slices an engineer in half.



The flamethrower engages the forklift while one of the reinforcements behind him is killed after missing his shot at the Skion officer.



The pallet is on fire!

Iroria



The Irorians, disguised, step into the street.

"You see we are wanted criminals! Let those who would claim our reward fight amongst themselves!"

From behind, the hero hears someone shout with glee...



"I got him! I'm going to claim the reward!" one of the Irorians shouts, tackling his comrade. "See this here poster? It says I get a reward!"

(Feat failed)



There's a moment of calm as the Irorians try to make sense of what happened.

"Let me up!" the disguised Irorian shouts.



The moment ends when Iroria and USA start shooting.



A civilian dies and so does the confused Irorian.

Britannia



The Britannians charge the Brootalz!



Except that the VOL are in the way.



The VOL hero heroically leaps out of danger.

Imperial Magikstrate



Alana sets her sights on the chaos unfolding in the workshop.



She leaps into the action, facing Eldon directly.



Things aren't looking great for Eldon.

(There wasn't really anyone to AoE attack so instead I've opted for TWO ON ONE HEROIC DUEL)



One of the spec ops troops starts fiddling with a computer, looking for juicy deets. The others take cover now that the office is swarming with GGE.



The other two troops start to exit the upstairs office, leading to mass panic amongst the science staff.



They shoot at, and humiliatingly miss, the chainsaw engineer.

SpaceCops

The SpaceCop hero sees something interesting on the news rack.

"The greatest hero?" she says aloud. She quickly grabs her mic "Get me The Greatest Hero!"



They step out of the death corridor and gun down the USA trooper. The SpaceCop hero is also able to hit the USA hero hard enough to deal 1HP of damage! (1 remains)



The air rumbles like thunder...



Something plummets from the sky...



With a swoosh that expels the smoke... arrives The Greatest Hero!

His entrance is so dramatic he can't act this turn.

Skion Engineers

The chainsaw engineer can't do anything to the IM Spec Ops officer.

The troops on the ground were forgotten because there's just so much going on. They'll be folded into Skion going forward.

Republic of Studland



A flash from above!



It's a direct hit! The USA hero is down!



The Studlanders are able to rappel down to the street.

Brootalz

McShooty tosses the popcorn machine, covering himself in melted butter in the process.



He charges right into the mass of Britannia and VOL! Unfortunately, his misses all his shots.



Everyone falls over, though, slipping and sliding off McShooty's armor. The VOLkyrie flies out of the way.



The Brootalz shoot at Luchardsko but can't harm anyone.

Menders of Construction



The MoC use nearby materials to make some defensive structures, to include two turrets.

Reinforcements



Three Orlogrod units appear on the catwalk.



USA gets a new Hero unit.



Children of Dew arrive, led by their Hero: Child of Dew! [(Arm)_Paladin]

Skion



The troopers charge into the facility.



The drone blocks the entrance and prepares response fire.



The science crew sprint to the door controls, tripping over themselves in the process.



The machine gunner misses the IM spec ops.



The half-mad chainsaw-wielding engineer is able to kill her target, though.



He falls, dropping his very important intel.

Immortals



Eldon, with a grimace, prepares to duel two foes at once.



He stomps the APC, knocking it off balance and flinging his opponents into the air.



He engages his jump pack to engage them.



The attack strikes true against Mr. Orlogrod, taking 1HP! (1 remains). The follow through against Alana doesn't cause any damage.



It's Duelin' Time! They're gonna Duel all over the place!



Alana prepares Runes, increasing hers and Mr. Orlogrod's offensive power. Meanwhile, Mr. Orlogrod shoots Eldon but the damage is too low



After a series of unsuccessful attacks, Mr. Orlogrod sneaks through Eldon's defenses, striking hard with his sword, and Eldon loses 1HP! (1 remains).



Now, here comes Alana...



Eldon can't get his sword around fast enough to meet the Rune-Hammer's dazzling arc...



Eldon is thrown backwards...



And he lands amidst the corpses, lifeless. The Mysterious Figure looks on from the distance.



"NO0OooOoo0oo0Oo" he bellows dramatically.



With a flash of smoke, he reveals his true nature!

"It's the Lambda Warhead Shard!" a crowd cries from off-screen.



The last Terrorkhan shoots an engineer. Immortals are the first to 10 kills!



He jumps down to join Warhead.



The fire on the forklift spreads. Since these troops were forgotten about they are allowed a chance to bail. They land safely a few inches away.



The officer, remembering he gets to Act, shoots the flamethrower.



The other regular picks up a new gun to shoot back, but crit-fails again. The foes stare at each other. Menacingly.



This trooper shoots and misses.

USA

The new Hero uses his chainsaw the climb the monument.



The troops below fire relentlessly at the Irorians. They all miss.



Unfortunately, the hardsuit's gun explodes.

Grand Galactic Empire



One of the troopers hands an explosive to the disgruntled civilian.

"I don't even need to be convinced," he says, "they forgot my appointment!"



"MY APPOINTMENT!!"



The bomb goes off, killing a scientist.



The structure is weakened, but nothing remains of the two hapless figs.



The GGE charge into the facility, guns blazing.



Unfortunately, Dynickys narrowly misses Crash, but the trooper is killed by response fire from the IM.

The VOL



The troops jump down from the roof, the succeed in gunning down two Disrupted Britannians.



The VOL hero leaps off the building, but why?



He engages the Greatest Hero!

I guess it's Duelin' Time!!



The VOL hero lands a shot on his approach, dealing 1HP of damage! (1 remains)



His advance is slowed by The Greatest Hero, who lands an expert shot and deals 1HP of damage! (1 remains)



The VOL swings his fire sword wildly, trying to slip past The Greatest Hero's defenses...



The heat was too much, and The Greatest Hero's armor roll too low...



The Volkyrie tries to launch a spinning attack, but she's grabbed by the War Manager!

Iroria



The Irorians charge toward USA.



Meanwhile, the shotgunner races toward The Greatest Hero's fallen OTC. She blasts The VOL Hero, dealing an insane amount of damage.



The VOL hero smolders lifelessly. Iroria claims the OTC!



The Irorian hero dispatches a USA trooper. The melee unit, however, is blasted by USA.



The USA hero also fires in response, but he misses.

Orlogrod



The regulars smite the last Terrorkhan.

Mr. Orlogrod already acted, so they only get the one photo.

Republic of Studland



The Studland hero aims carefully, shooting a small target...



The air tanks explode! The SpaceCops can barely bail away in time.



The hero is gunned down by multiple Studlanders.



The last remaining SpaceCop stands slowly, his face grim and determined.



He takes off his body camera. It was heavy. And in the way. (It also was not even on)



Rather than go through the rest of his little Leonidas moment, he raises his rifle and fires.



Unfortunately for the SpaceCop, the cutest and most harmless dog appears in front of his target.



This terrifies the SpaceCop (I originally was going to have the dog absorb the damage but I didn't want to kill the dog for the sake of this bit).



The SpaceCop is promptly obliterated by the last Studlander.

Spacecops eliminated!

Luchardsko

The gunner gets into position.



The resulting arc fire kills 1 Brootal!



The hero jumps down and kills the other.



The other troopers kill another Brootal, just pouring it on at this point.

Dominion of the Eagle



The Dominion troops flip a table for cover.



Artor tosses a chair through the window.



And the hardsuit flies into the facility.



Gunfire is exchanged between Dominion and IM, but the only thing that happens is the IM rifle explodes from a crit-fail.

Imperial Magikstrate



A spec-ops trooper rigs the speeder to blow.



He takes cover.



The trooper on the catwalk domes a Child of Dew.

Britannia

"Oi, just me left, innit?"



"I feel burdened by glorious purpose, I do, to succeed where me comrades 'ave failed."



Below, the unsuspecting Irorian is chilling with an OTC.



Here comes Britannia!



With the Irorian dead, Britannia has TWO OTCs!

"It's a bit mad, innit?"

Brootalz



The War Manager winds up with a huff.



He launhces the Volkyrie into the Luchardsko crowd.



It's not enough to hurt anyone, but they're all Disrupted.



The War Manager and Luchardsko's hero clash with rumble of thunder, the clang of steel, and the gurgling of melted butter...



The War Manager continues to roll badly, and he's quickly dispatched by Luchardsko!

Brootalz eliminated!

Children of Dew

The Child of Dew squares up with Warhead.



A beam of concentrated Dew flies toward Warhead, but he conjures up his weapon in time to block any damage...



However, he is stuck to the floor as the Dew dries around his feet.



The Sour'Dew'Kar charges at the IM.



With ease the IM trooper is slain.



This causes the prepared explosive to go off, but the damage is very low.



The Children of Dew and IM trade more fire. The Dew trooper gets the worst of it and dies.



The gunner moves up and targets Alana but his roll is too low to hit.

Menders of Construction



The MoC setup to take offensive maneuvers against Studland.



The two sides trade fire.



Each side scores a kill.

Iorelians



Using magik, the hero manages to grow an additional BTC!



The other troops hits the streets and shoot at the Britannian hero, though without effect.

The drone slides into the facility to support the ground troops.



The closest scientist sprints to the blast door controls.



They close with a hiss and a rumble.



A huge explosion rocks the facility from one of the upper floors. The concussion knocks over the catwalk.




Everyone is miraculously unharmed.



Skion's troops make a mad dash for the last operable APC.



The drone fails to damage the GGE Hero.



Outside, a new force makes itself known...



M-Throne troops swarm the streets, putting everyone on the defensive.

"For the greater good..."



The three Orlogrod reinforcements manage to kill the Dew foot soldiers.



The Child of Dew and Warhead realize they are the last of the respective factions.

"Let's end this, then."



Warhead launches himself at the Child of Dew, hoping to use his helmet flames to set him afire.



The Child easily avoids damage, his GTC roaring to life.



The Heroes' great weapons clash with thunder.



Skion's core carrier heads for the open door of the APC while the fury of two great Heroes rages behind him.




Crash tries to hold off two RC heroes.



"Go! Go!" Crash shouts at the driver.

The APC lurches forward. Crash finds himself beset by powerful foes.



Suddenly, the Child of Dew is thrown into the fray, nearly knocking the Orlogrod hero off his feet.



Crash activates his jet pack to avoid being thrown from the accelerating APC, while the others are barely able to hang on.



The APC can't slow down.



CRASH!!!



The catwalk splits in two, a section plowing the heroes off the roof.



It escapes...

Skion... victory?



M-Throne marines begin breaking into the facility. They are winning the day. The city groans and breaks under their feet. The battle net begins to go quiet as all the factions cede control to M-Throne.



"I think we just missed them, sir." a trooper says to the M-Throne commander.

"They haven't gotten far. Pursue them. Even to the edge of the Brikverse."

Thanks for playing, everyone! I wanted to get another turn done but my kids are becoming increasingly bold with the battlefield because it's been up for so long.
