some ocean, Bavaria

The S.S. Ferkel sails smoothly after a successful operation to capture a pigbeast plushie for magikal experimentation.
Pigbeast: squeal
Reichstagger Leonore: Mage Foerster, are you sure this undertaking is safe?
Mage Foerster: I assure you, Fraulein Leonore, the Magicians Alliance has taken numerous magical beasts into their care before. The only threat we need concern ourselves is an outside threat.
Captain Philips: Attention all crew! Enemy contacts from NATO have been detected!
USA Hardsuit: Alright men, we will stop this Bavarian weird shit at once.

A Britannian Knightmare and some jetpack troopers airdrop in onto the ship, nearly capsizing it.
Sir Brassington: What a fine battle to deploy a Knightmare- the Bavarians are true worthy opponents, unlike those Stranian wimps.
Trattorians: Eliminate the anomaly.
Bavarians (TA): Scratch

Objectives: Maintain control of the S.S. Ferkel and pig.
Notes: Foerster has SN dice pool of (3d6 1d10 1d4)
Britannians (NATO): Dilanski

Objectives: Seize the S.S. Ferkel
Notes: Sir Brassington (in Knightmare) is hero.
Slash harken stats:
Slash Harken: Size 1 launcher that does 1d6 damage and initiates a AutoGrab upon successful hit. All subsequent attacks between the mech and whatever it hit are autohits, and the target’s movement is limited by the string. Upon successful hit, the mech is entitled to one free attack.
A pilot can roll his skill against the target’s structure level. The difference is either how much the target is reeled in or how much the mech is reeled toward the target, depending on what the pilot is going after.
USA (NATO): BFenix

Objectives: Seize the S.S. Ferkel.
Briktoid (TA): Whiteagle

Objectives: Maintain control of the S.S. Ferkel.
Trattorians (NATO): Colette

Objectives: Destroy the pig.

Bavarians

Mage Foerster aims a fireball at the USA boats.

It's a hit, and the explosion takes out one of the boats entirely.

He then retreats to safety.

The Bavarian infantry take aim at the Britannian jetpackers.

They manage to kill two of them, but not the Red Beret.

Captain Philips uses his feat to remotely activate the anti-aircraft turret.

Britannians

The Britannian Red Beret follows the S.S. Ferkel's flank and fires on the Bavarians.

He succeeds in taking out one infantryman.

The Britannian Knightmare moves forward, stepping on the hold full of Briktoid droids. The mighty foot of the Knightmare takes out 11 droids.
Sir Brassington: Fear me, puny piltoggs of the Third Alliance!

I just realized that anti-aircraft turret is pointed directly at the Knightmare's crotch. Next turn is going to be painful.

Damn, this looks a little one-sided.

USA

The USA boards the S.S. Ferkel.

The hardsuit takes point and all USA troops fire at targets of opportunity. Two rocket droids and a security droid are downed, while a Bavarian trooper gets fatally shot and falls into the pig's hold.

Briktoid

Every B1 and B2 battle droid aims their guns/grenade launchers at the crotch of the Britannian Knightmare.
Sir Brassington: Well shit.
The Britannian Knightmare is emasculated and legless, although the upper half is still functional. A B1 and a B2 are crushed during the fall, however.

The security droids take out two USA soldiers.

The rocket droid attempts to kill its Britannian counterpart, but fails.

Trattorians

The Trattorian air forces move into position.

The attack chopper fires off three missiles at the various clumps of Briktoid droids.

The first blast destroys a bunch.

The second and third blasts finish off every B1, B2, and security droid on the ship.

The fighters team up and eliminate the turret.

Bavarians

Mage Foerster fires a spell at the Trattorian chopper's rocket racks, to no effect.

Unsatisfied with this result, he then uses a little more magic to push away the USA hardsuit.

The heavy USA hardsuit falls overboard and drowns.

The Bavarian infantrymen then take positions and fire at targets of opportunity. The ones aiming at the USA soldier and the Trattorian fighter miss or don't do enough damage.

The one aiming at the Red Beret succeeds, however.

Sir Brassington attempts a response feat, firing his slash harken at the bridge of the S.S. Ferkel.
Sir Brassington: You've backed a lion into a corner chaps!

He succeeds- although the Reichstagger and the mage bail, the bridge collapses onto the pigbeast plush and plows through two hit points (two remaining).

Sir Brassington aims at the mage with his rifle, but misses.

USA

The last USA soldier yells into the air.
USA soldier: I got a score to settle with you, magic man motherfucker!

He goes after the disrupted mage, but a redshirt intercepts the shot.

Briktoid

The rocket droid blows off the cockpit on the Trattorian chopper, but can't do much more.

The commander droid kills the last USA soldier.
USA eliminated

Trattorians

One of the Trattorian fighters aims at the rocket droid on the chopper.

The latter joins the corpse of its organic counterpart in the ocean.

The chopper then swings around to the other side of the S.S. Ferkel.

Disrupted, and with no redshirts left, Mage Foerster bites the dust.

The other fighter takes aim at the other side of the boat.

It kills one heavy and a Reichstagger, and knocks the other heavy off the boat where he drowns into the deep ocean.

Bavaria

Captain Philips prepares to leap off the infantryman's back using his strong navy muscles.

He flies into the sunset...

...straight into the blades of the Trattorian chopper.

Sir Brassington: BLOW THAT MOTHERFUCKER TO MARS

The explosion from the Knightmare's self-destructing Sugaradite reactor is more than sufficient to blow up the S.S. Ferkel and all nearby units.
Technical NATO victory
