TBD Project Turn 2

The second day of the TBD Project battle. Massive carnage begins!

Image

Two Minifig Liberation Army troops move up to the edge of the town and start shooting at the Urban Combat Division. They miss. I need new dice.

Image

They each have a couple inches of movement remaining, so they take cover in the building.

Image

The Minifig Liberation Army tank moves up, targets the Urban Combat Division Hero, misses...

Image

But manages to kill a Black Hat rifleman.

Image

Black Hat Bazooka Man No.1 fires at the tank but fails to pierce its thick frontal armor.

Image

Bazooka Man No.2 attacks and misses.

Image

The two SpecOps swing out from the cover of the alleyway and fire at Rudolph and Santa, and...

Image

... well, if you don't get any presents this year, you can just blame Silvadream.

Image

Rudolph is dead too.

Image

Angered at the loss of their Hero (I actually made that part up afterwards, all of my moves are plotted before I read the other teams' orders so I don't gain an advantage over them) all of the Elves pile onto the deck and take shots at the two horsemen.

Image

No hits on the Hero, but the other horseman is incinerated by the Flamethrower Elf. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...
If Silvadream doesn't call in his fighter soon, he may not last through next turn.

Image

The sniper moves out to the deck and -- wait, why is he facing that way?

Image

BACKSTAB'D! A Critical Success on the damage roll lets the high-caliber sniper round Overkill its way through both of Jifel's minigun troopers. I allocate the four Backstab Dice to defense.

Image

My fighter is called in.

Image

It kills one minifig with a grenade launcher and doesn't do much else.

Image

The Urban Combat Division calls in its transport, which fires on Jifel's tank.

Image

So far, it seems like my dice roll either sixes or ones and not much in between.

Image

The UCD transport kicks in its afterburners and tries to get out of enemy range. The paper in the corner contains the orders for my team.

Image

Stupid black dog. I thought you would let me kill the UCD and THEN betray me. Crap.
Is the tank completely destroyed?

This is good but, how do you get your player's orders so quickly?

I don't know, it's Saturday in the middle of winter and nobody has anything better to do than play Brikwars on the computer? I've already got two new PMs which I assume are the next set of orders. We may not be the first, but we'll damn well set the speed record.

Excactly, Im home alone, and my whole family is at 3 different parties, so Ill be on for a bit.
By the way, why put all bonus dice onto defense when it only works on me and I didnt shoot at you that turn?

The bonus dice apply to the next turn when used for defense. Not that it really mattered... your shots bounced right off. Fortunately for you you'll get a chance to shoot at my ship from the back next turn, so the armor value will be 1D10 lower.

Silvadream had a bit more luck and managed to kill 3 of my elves.

Razgriz hasn't posted yet, but here's the stats for this turn so far:

Kills:
Minifig Liberation Army: 0
Black Hat Men: 3
Santa's Little Helpers: 1

Deaths:
Minifig Liberation Army: 0
Black Hat Men: 1
Santa's Little Helpers: 3

Nobody has managed to damage a vehicle this turn, despite our best efforts.

You will still do pics once all orders are in, right?

501st Doesn't log on too often. If and when I host my own version of this, I'll be selecting players with extreme prejudice.

Remember my Preparation topic, I asked for active players...

I'm still waiting on Razgriz's orders. After that I'll be able to send pics and more summary.
