Round 3
The Space Pirate Ones
The
Dread Pirate Roberts warps into the battle! BAMF!
Stat Card:
Pirates begin to clamber up the boarding ladders onto the
Artemis.
They fire deck guns but they are not strong enough to damage the larger ship's 4d10 armor.
Some of the Pirates do succeed in blowing off a turret.
The Red Ones
Two commandos land on the wrecked frigate and start making their way aft.
Two commandos on the
Artemis's flight deck are gunned down by response fire from the security team.
The remaining commando responds, killing one of the security officers.
Now that the meatshields have done their job, NINJA TROOPERZ DEPLOY.
The M ako makes a desperate charge at the
Artemis, hoping to smash through the security line, but at only 1" of size left, it can't cover the full distance in one turn.
Troops deploy from the freighter. Some do not have jetpacks.
The Sky Shark turns and delivers a broadside salvo and a torpedo into the
Artemis, dealing 6" of damage.

KABOOM AIEEEE
The Blue Ones
Fighters continue their attack runs. The Valkyrie II has overshot its targets and must come back around to line up a shot.
The Seagull makes mincemeat of the charging M ako.
Valkyrie Leader deals 2" of damage to the freighter.
The
Artemis rotates a little bit, ignoring the pirates latched onto the rear quarter.
This is mildly disruptive to their boarding attempt.
Rear guns fire at the freighter, dealing 2" of damage. A torpedo is fired but goes wide.
Admiral Oswald "We do better broadsides"™ Lyons orders the destruction of the Sky Shark. They deal a total of 243 points of damage, and chew up the remaining 12" on the Sky Shark with room to spare.
Commandos unload from the Seagull.
They murderize a few pirates.

It's not over for anyone yet! As the Counciliar boarding parties prepare to take down the Artemis from the inside, their remaining ship begins to pull out of range of Imperial guns. The Imperials continue to be tough heavy-hitters, but now they must devote some attention to the pirates trying to take advantage of the confusion. The Space Pirates are running out of things to steal - they must move quickly if they want to profit.
Starting on the next round:
The Red Ones will to get an instant benny for every inch they lose in structure or troops.
The Blue Ones will get an instant benny for every inch they take.
The Space Pirates will get an instant benny for every inch of structure lost by the other armies, as well as every inch of stuff they steal.
