The Battle of Venice

Post by Theblackdog » Sun Mar 19, 2023 7:26 pm

Image
A secret mission for Zero takes Sam Porter Bridges and his new organization, the Brikverse Reconnection and Interdimensional Gateway Establishment Society (B.R.I.D.G.E.S.) to the planet Venice, where the police intercept them and attempt to seize their cargo.

Image
The megastructures supporting the Cathedral of Syndicate Ascension's space elevator form an epic backdrop to the battle to come.

Image
The T.L.A. forces, led by Sam Porter Bridges, attempt to deliver their package at any cost.

Image
While Commander Tyrell (on the bike on the left side) prepares to stop them.

Image
And then we found out that 25 mile an hour winds were strong enough to blow individual minifigs over, so the battle had to be moved indoors to a much less visually interesting and more poorly lit field.

Image
First blood goes to the T.L.A. machine gun jetbike, which kills a polar bear.

Image
Commander Tyrell switches her bike to hover mode and leads her troops' advance.

Image
And a hover bike and bicycle cop ride up the middle.

Image
The jetpacker hides behind the turret gun in the center of the field.

Image
Commander Tyrell successfully goads the MG biker into a game of chicken.

Image
He closes in, peppering Tyrell's bike with gunfire.

Image
The collision severely damages both vehicles.

Image
Meanwhile the positron cannon bike takes a couple Size points off the police car.

Image
And the hover tank's twin cannons do even more.

Image
The D-Walker pilot attempts a Stunt Driving roll to move up a few extra inches. He critfails, and instead sprints 15" up the battlefield and Tokyo Drifts into the tank. The impact leaves both vehicles unharmed, but the pilot is crushed by the G-forces.

Image
The T.L.A. infantry move up. Sam attempts to scan the terrain to maximize his movement speed, but is distracted by a series of poorly designed menu screens.

Image
The Venetian hover bike rider kills the T.L.A. RPG trooper.

Image
Commander Tyrell ends the game of chicken by taking the T.L.A. biker's head.

Image
The now driverless bike plunges into her own troops, killing two, as she rides off triumphant.

Image
She attempts to fling the head at the T.L.A. troops, but instead it hits her fellow hover bike driver. Fortunately it does too little damage to be fatal.

Image
The jetpacker grabs the ammunition for the heavy cannon in the center of the map, and boards the driverless D-Walker...

Image
...Drops the box in the middle of the T.L.A. lines, and brings the hammer down on it.

Image
The blast wipes out everyone except Sam, who is Redshirted out of the way.

Image
The hovertank kills some infantry as revenge.

Image
A construction worker bisects the bicycle cop.

Image
Another kills this guy.

Image
A Venetian soldier sprints into the fort gun turret's control seat, but a T.L.A. soldier kills him.

Image
Not having learned his lesson from the D-Walker pilot's demise, the positron jetbike rider attempts a Stunt Driving roll and collides with his own troops.

Image
Sam shoots a Venetian hover bike rider out of his seat. Fortunately his passenger is there to take control.

Image
Sam attempts to send the bike out of control by throwing his luggage at it, but hits himself in the face instead.

Image
At that same moment, Commander Tyrell shoots the luggage, killing Sam.

Image
A shotgunner kills one of the construction workers.

Image
Another blasts two jump troopers.

Image
The cop car moves up and blasts the jetbike while it's down.

Image
Commander Tyrell attacks the hover tank's turret, damaging it and disabling one of its guns. She then does a wheelie on the tank.

Image
Image
The tank accepts her challenge and uses its remaining cannon to land a perfect headshot.

Image
The shotgunners wipe out more construction workers, defeating all the T.L.A.'s infantry.

Image
The tank blasts two Venetian troops.

Image
The cop car's gun turret deals an additional point of damage to the tank.

Image
The hover bike rider charges in, beam saber drawn.

Image
His attack does another point of damage to the tank.

Image
The tank lands a hit on the bike in retaliation.

Image
The biker's next attack misses.

Image
The cop car driver prepares to detonate the rocket ammo in the seat behind him.

Image
The cop car gunner leaps out of his seat and flees...

Image
The massive detonation destroys both vehicles.

Image
Image
Carnage covers the battlefield as the surviving Venetians celebrate their victory.

Image

Drawings by Scratch of the hover tank and jet bike. But what is that third vehicle at the top? :mystery:

It was a lot of fun to bring Venice back and have another IRL brikwar (the largest one I've had I think). GGWP and let it be known that theblackdog is also an excellent host, I'm enjoying one of the cookies seen above as I type this. Hope to come through again sometime and perhaps bring some Venetian heavy vehicles then.
