...and back on topic...

The AC needn't be a problem in the right scenario. How about an Assault Scenario where J+B sets up defences and NatalyaAF's AC with ground support storms the breach. Objectives for J+B is to damage or destroy the AC in so many turns while the AC has to reach a certain area and/or destroy a certain thing (like a building) in the same amount of turns.

For J+B points can only be earned for destroying areas of the AC or the game won by killing it. Ground Support earns nothing or not much at least.

For NatalyaAF she has to get the AC to an area of J+B's base or whatever and stay there long enough to destroy something (think Hoth Battle). She earns no points at all for killing J+B's troops but the more killed the less chance they'll have to damage or kill the AC.

the more i think about it the more i am wanting to do a all out slaughter fest maybe if there is time after we can do objective based game but the slaughter fest is really what i think should be done hold nothing back let the blood flow

Iunno J+B, I mean unless you think you have enough stuff to stop both my AC and the cruiser it'd be best to have some objective-based play. I mean technically you could just build a bunch of MK V missiles or something, but that'd be really d a p p e r.

Man, I've been reading this and ya'll have no imagination in how to take out what is essentially a walking thermal nuclear bomb. Or did ya'll forget that she stated it was powered by a reactor? Every kind of reactor(and engine for that matter) has 2 major fatal flaws. 1st is the reaction has to have some sort of a containment. Once the energy & byproducts pass a certain energy level, you have to have some sort of force field to contain them. 2nd is the reactor has to be cooled. Otherwise it'll accumulate too much energy and overcome its containment. Now what would happen if you took either of these systems offline? BOOM!! It is as simple as that. Think about Star Trek. When they want to take out a star ship, they only try to take out the reactor. And they do that by knocking offline either the containment field or the coolant system.

Now, I'm sure both of those systems are well protected and are gonna be hard to get to. But with enough sustained attacks to any defense system that drains power will either cause that system to go off line and therefore become useless, or drain too much power. In the case of the later, the reactor will either shut down and the AC become defenseless or overload it's coolant system and we repeat what would happen if you took out the coolant system. While I can drive my car @ 200mph, doing so for a long enough time will start to destroy the engine, and eventually it will self destruct.

That's Thermo-Nuclear to you.

Ok, I consider it a win when the rebuttal is only a spelling/grammar correction.

I think what she meant was if it was Cold Fusion, it wouldn't need a cooling system.

its something from brikwars if its an engine it can go boom.
the rule of fun means that it can go boom, all J+B needs to do is win a "what i say go" roll to say it can explode.

why doesn't anyone see the genius of commandeering Natalya's star cruiser and ramming her AC with it, you'd need like 5 or 6 shuttles to land any troops on it but the crew won't put up a fight like her assyrian infantry will (they won't be carrying heavy weapons or maybe any at all)

I was going to try this in Death War, but Natalya quit the game on the same turn that I was going to drop my troops onto the starship.

I doubt it would take 5 or 6 shuttles to break through the starship's defenses -- I managed it with a single transport and a few allied fighters. Give a single ship long-range weapons, take out the forward turret, and fly above the cruiser so that her big forward cannon can't hit you. Once you land on the hull, blast a window open and attack the bridge. One hero and a few secondary troops will do the trick.

Actually, Use a cannon to blow a hole in the corvette and land a 10$ imperial dropship in their, with one extra stormtrooper and you could take it over! Natalya hero is in their, but you can shoot her. Then either put charges on the Reactor, or control the ship. And I wouldn't ram the AC, I would use the massive front gun to melt a giant hole in it's chest.

Then again, you could load the shuttle with explosives and kamikaze it into the bridge.

Just use "land mines" to knock it over, and then start tying it down to the ground with your legions. Then you can climb to the cockpit and blast it open with a large gun, kill the pilot, and take over the AC.
