Battle at Camp Creek

[sahasrahla]

Introduction:



Camper dude: *sniff* God, I love the smell of nature in the morning
Camper chick: It smells like alien funk and mining equipment to me.
Camper dude: You're just being paranoid, honey.



ZZAAP
Camper chick: GFHFFSHLSPLORTCH
Camper dude: Camper chick! Noooooo!



PEW



Keeboktu the Eviscerator: *sniiiiff* God, I love the smell of sizzling human in the morning.
Assassin Droid: 101001101100010011
Keeboktu: Fine, I'll make sure your next model includes olfactory capabilities.



Keeboktu walks over to the mining site.
Keeboktu: Is the machine working properly?
Death Droids: 0101110001010111000010000
Keeboktu: Excellent.



Bodyguard: The scans are nearly complete, we're 70% confirmed that this is what we're looking for. Just need a way to break through the meteor's protective shell.
Keeboktu: Work faster! I want all scans finished before anyone finds out we're here.



A squadron dispatched by the Humanity Defense Force arrives from the north.
Cmdr. Artemis: We've gotten reports of foreign aggressors in the area, stay alert.
Lt. Johnson: Over there!



Artemis: Poor saps, didn't even know what hit them.



Artemis: Form up men! We've got reinforcements coming soon but I don't feel like waiting for them. Let's show those Coalition goons what happens when they show their ugly faces on our planet!
HDF troops: HOORAH

Overviews:





HDF forces, regular infantry and a few jetpack troopers in the back, one of whom carries a flamethrower with barrel-mounted OTC



Alien and Cyborg Coalition forward basecamp



Cyborg infantry, Robogunners, and an Assassin Droid protecting the crash site.

The humans' objective is to destroy the Coalition camp and find out why they're interested in the crash site. The Coalition needs to DESTROY ALL HUMANS.
HDF reinforcements will arrive at the end of turn 2

[sahasrahla]

TURN ONE:

HDF FORCES



The troopers move up, grabbing cover where they can.



A few of them get close enough to fire at a Robogunner, but can't pierce his armor.



The jetpack troopers take flight.



Unfortunately they all suck at flying. This one lands in a tree...



This one lands in another tree...



And this loser takes a little dip in the creek.

ALIEN AND CYBORG COALITION



Two unarmed cyborgs make a mad dash for weapons.



The Assassin Droid goes for a sniper shot.



Artemis catches it on her laser chain sword



The two robogunners move up and start spraying laser blasts everywhere



Only kills one dude.



Cyborg infantry move up



Keeboktu, his bodyguards, and the heavies remain at their stations in the camp

Turn two coming later tonight or tomorrow, whenever i have time

[Tzan]

I love it when things start with a nice camping scene.

< 1 frame later >

That escalated quickly!

[Venge]

This is looking great so far! Can't wait to see more!

[bann154]

Honestly this reminds me of classic brikwars like almost warhead style and thats really awesome. Keep up the good work!

TURN TWO

Spoiler

Show

HDF



flamethrower jetpack guy flops awkwardly out of his tree



He lights a Robogunner on fire! But doesn't kill him.



Jetpack girl decides to stay in her tree. "I meant to land here," she says, but we all know she didn't. She also claims that she meant to miss that shot. HMMMM....



These guys all team fire on the second Robogunner



He is decimated.



Artemis fires!



And takes out a cyborg who got a little too close.



Lt. Johnson fires at the Robogunner but can't beat his heavy armor.



And finally, this guy drags himself to shore. "Man it's almost like my jetpack suddenly started functioning as an scuba tank or something, weird."

COALITION FORCES:



The Death Droids find weapons while the cyborgs rush forward for a bayonet charge, because that's more fun.



They spear two dudes. The third dude is trained not to show fear, but he's totally afraid.



Assassin Droid fires...



One shot one kill.



The heavies begin their (very slow) advance.



Bodyguard: Sir! Scans 90% complete!
Keeboktu: (laughs evilly)



Three OTC Commandos and a demo man arrive on the field
Commando: You bolly blighters started the fight without us?? Bad show, chaps!

[sahasrahla]

TURN THREE

Spoiler

Show

HDF:



The commandos immediately rush forward... but they're wearing heavy armor so it'll be a while before they catch up to the battle.



I don't remember who shot this guy...but he died.



Demo man runs past the commandos.



This trooper faces his fears.



Artemis flanks west and fires at the Assassin Droid, but doesn't do enough damage.



This guy catches up with the rest of his team. "Sorry I'm late guys!" he shouts, and then misses his shot. They are all disappointed.

COALITION:



Robogunner takes out a jetpack guy and a trooper.



The two death droids fire...



And the last HDF infantry goes down.



The heavies continue their veeeeeeery sloooooooow advance.



Bodyguard: Sir! All scans complete! The prize is confirmed!
Keeboktu: About time. Start up The Claw!



The Assassin Droid drops his weapon to operate the machinery.



The Claw drops down and begins sawing through the protective crystalline casing.

TURN FOUR

HDF:



Artemis runs up and guts the Assassin Droid. That's a lot of blood for a robot...



"How do I work this... I can't read anything here!"
Utilizing years of experience in technology use and code cracking, she begins smashing random buttons.



Success! The Claw retracts and waits, dormant.



Lt. Johnson runs up and takes a swipe at the last Robogunner...



Seriously who put all this blood into the robots?



Green jetpack guy misses again. This is just not his day.



The commandos all move up and combine fire on the heavies, but their dinky little handguns just aren't cutting it.



Demo man: This is embarrassing, guys. Let me show you how it's done.



HEAVE!!



dink



BOOMSPLOSION

COALITION:



The death droids get their revenge by gunning down Lt. Johnson. (I didn't get a picture but the remaining heavy bumbled his shot).



As the alien forces start to thin, Keeboktu's bodyguards finally step out onto the field.



The battle so far...

Turns five through seven coming tomorrow!!

[Zupponn]

This battle is pretty cool. Aquazone armor plus some of the older space stuff really makes things look Brikwarsy.

You've also got a good amount of variety here unit-wise with just enough uniformity to tell who's who.

[Venge]

This Keeboktu guy feels more like a rogue/mutated ZMC guy every minute... The GTC, the garb of his henchmen, his collecting mysterious crystals and sawing through them... Does he have a backstory yet? If not that could work really well for him.

I'm really loving this battle; as Zupponn has said, old space and aqua sets give this an awesome feel.

[sahasrahla]

he needs a backstory but i haven't actually come up with one yet. what does ZMC stand for?

and yes, old school space legos are the best. unfortunately i don't think we'll ever see them again as long as lego can keep selling their star wars stuff

[Venge]

ZMC is Zupponn's faction, the Zupponn Mining Co.

[sahasrahla]

Put a bunch of turns in spoilers because this page is getting hella long to scroll through.

TURN FOUR

HDF:



Demo man, now lacking any explosives, becomes just plain old Man. Man shoots his pistol.



...And avenges Lt. Johnson's death. Good job Man!



Commandos still can't get past the heavy's OT shield. Their damage rolls suck.



Artemis attacks and misses the death droid, how embarrassing.

COALITION:



Both bodyguards fire on Artemis.



She deflects.



Keeboktu himself steps on to the field! Things are getting serious!


TURN FIVE

HDF:



I forgot this guy's turn last round lol. But this time....!



He actually kills someone, omg!



Man finds something on the ground.



Man has now become Beamsaber man, awesome!



The commandos finally get close enough to bring their OTCs to bear.



And there really isn't anything that can stand up to a combined attack from three OTCs simultaneously.
Commandos: This is a right bloody mess, wot wot!



One of the bodyguards eats chain sword. It doesn't agree with his digestive system... or his face.



Beamsaber man is looking for glory!



Keeboktu counters. Ohh, that doesn't look good...



Beamsaber man has become Bloody Exploding Head man.

COALITION:



Only Keeboktu and one of his bodyguards remains. Keeboktu moves up but can't get to anyone. This guy attacks Artemis but fumbles his attack roll.

TURN SIX



Artemis does not fumble her attack roll.



Keeboktu: So, human, it comes to this. I knew from the beginning that you and I would finally face one another in glorious---



Commandos: HOLD UP THERE CHAP DON'T FORGET ABOUT US
Keeboktu: WTF



SKREEEEEEEEEEEE



Final overwatch.

[sahasrahla]

EPILOGUE



Artemis: Now to find out what these aliens wanted here in the first place.
Commando: Looks like some sort of crashed meteorite. I can see something inside, but it's protected by a crystalline shield. We shouldn't do anything until we can scan what kind of material--



Artemis: I'm gonna touch it
Commando: Or that okay



The crystal melts at her touch with a soft hisssss

Commando: By the Queen's royal undies...
Artemis: It's... a pizza?



Commando: Not just any pizza -- this is Chef-Captain Cyle's 68-meat supreme! The only dish ever to make Ankhig jerky taste delicious! It's the greatest pizza in the galaxy!



Commando: Tonight, men, we feast!
All: Hooray!
Green jetpack guy: I'm gluten intolerant!

[Kommander Ken]

Man I loved this battle. The dialogue is hilarious.
