Time to get this show on the road!

Freedom Systems of Murica
Image
Image
Image
Captain Murica starts the show by jumping the ramp and shooting the gunner of the Sporthog, but both he and his bike are damaged by response fire from the turret. Both have one hitpoint remaining.
Image
Image
Captain Murica has shot the gunner in such a way that he spins and shoots the driver of the Leon Trackski. (Feat critically successful)
Image
The Rhino crashes into the Landshark, but does no damage. The gunners fire on the Landshark, killing its driver and causing 1sp of damage to the cab (6 remain)
Image
The Landshark's front turret returns fire, damaging the Rhino's turret.
Image
The Roadrunner uses its front machine gun to damage the Landshark's front turret. The gunner in back critfails, shooting the gunner of the Rhino and causing 1 SP of damage (5 remaining). Whoops!

Crimson Dawn- Valiant
Image
The passenger of the Trackski hops into the driver's seat and crashes it into Kingpin Jones' lowrider causing 1sp of damage (5 remaining)
Image
Image
The passenger of the Sporthog gets into the turret and shoots, but misses.
Image
Image
Image
Comrade Communism crashes his cycle into John Woo's and opens fire causing 2 SP of damage to the bike (1 remains)

Wasteland Raiders- TheSovietNinjaWaffle
Image
The Thrash Warrior plays some wicked guitar riffs, giving nearby allies a +1 skill boost for the turn.
Image
Image
The passenger of Dragula throws an explosive spear at the cab of the Landshark, which along with some minigun fire from Red Death, chips away another SP (5 remaining)
Image
"Watch this!" Octan Joe shouts.
Image
Image
Grabbing a chain and his OTC, Joe grapples onto the Landshark, unfotrunately dropping his OTC when he then tries to attack.
Image
The other passenger of the Ghostrider takes the wheel.The rest of the raiders hold their actions in response.

Random Civilians- Lordintype
Image
"I have gold!" Kingpin Jones exclaims, "anyone who joins me can have some!"
Image
"How about we just kill you and take it anyway?" A nearby Space Shark responds (Crit Fail). The Space Shark incinerates the thug in the back seat and sets the car on fire.
Image
To show they mean business, the two rednecks crash their truck into the sporthog, unfortunately causing no damage.

Space Sharks- M220
Image
Image
Grabbing his laser rifle, this Space Shark attempts to chainsaw Octan Joe, who successfully uses his grappling chain to parry the blow.
Image
Another Space Shark tries to fire, but gets blasted by response fire from Lord Gigantic.
Image
The Space Shark with the heavy laser rifle tries to fire, but jams his gun.
Image
Image
Image
The Space Shark in the rear turret tries to attack the BA team van, but slips and hits Captain Jaws instead, who is unharmed, just angry.
Image
Very angry.
Image
The Space Shark in the back tries to attack the van as well, but doesn't cause enough damage.
Image
The passenger in the cab tries to launch some rockets at the Rhino, but they misfire and explode in the pod instead, causing 2 SP of damage to the trailer (5 remaining). Octan Joe manages to bail from the top of the pod, but will have to recover during the next turn.

FSM Continued- MGB519
Image
Image
Because I forgot to use it earlier, I'm doing it now. The wolverine fires its main gun at the raiders. High damage rolls kill two raiders and cause 2sp of damage to both the Ghostrider and Dragula (5 and 3 sp respectively remaining)

Just need orders from Motorhead Fan to continue.

This is wonderful.
What a beautiful scene of randomness.

6. That Ultra Agents alt build is slick.

7. You should try to write more than just what happens with the dice. At the moment it feels like I'm reading a transcript of the battle. In my opinion the dice shouldn't be talked about unless the number is actually significant (ridiculous damage, an epic setup that results in an anticlimactic critfail, etc.). The rest of the time you should focus more on what happens in the battle (____ whiffed his shot, the bullets tore the cab's roof apart, etc.).

I can't really come up with a way to explain it fully, but for reference give Silent_sigfig's latest battle (Get that Antimortalium!) a quick read. I feel like his battles are a good standard to measure from.

That grapple worked surprisingly well.

Space Sharks- M220
Image
Having waited to act, Captain Jaws jumps onto the back of the race car and tries to rip off some of metal to inspire his men.
Image
All he succeeds in doing is bending the spoiler a bit. The other space sharks aren't really impressed

BA Team- Motorhead Fan
Image
John Woo pops a wheelie, revs his engine and prepares to drive over comrade communism.
Image
Unfortunately, he leans back too far and falls off.
Image
Image
Having backed up a bit, Tommy Gun floors the accelerator and crashes into the back of the landshark. This damages his own car more than the landshark, which is unscathed. He then wonders if maybe he should have actually studied physics in school instead of paying someone else to do his homework.
Image
Bill Hook attempts to blast Captain Jaws with his sawn-off shotgun. A redshirt steps in, and the shot pings harmlessly off his armor.
Image
Hoping to fare better than Tommy Gun, Max Damage crashes his van into the landshark, with predictable results. Mark Hunter sticks his head out the window and shoots a space shark, but can't seem to penetrate their power armor. If only there were more powerful weapons nearby...
