Mission 2, Turn 1

An hour later, the convoy was long underway, but so far there was no enemies near it. Various giant maggots crawled elegantly along the heat-blasted landscape of southeastern Britain, as various old listening and recording devices on fortified posts and ruins of buildings were dark and silent.

Quote from: Initiative rolls
Jason: 6
Josephine: 5+0.5 = 5.5
Kenneth: 5+0.1 = 5.1
Lemashe: 4
Rein: 3+0.1 = 3.1
Luis: 1+0.7 = 1.7
Tanks fire last, all of them.

((Warning: All my knowledge comes from Homeworld, the game :P wherein the delta formation is the default "V" shaped pattern of unit formation))
"Everyone get into delta formation, screen the tanks and move forward with scanners alert. Watch the buildings and corners; if they can see us, we can see them. Heavy armor to the center, ranged weapons to the flanks, and EMP-gunners to watch for enemy pilots and heat signatures; remember to relay information for our tanks to focus their support fire on if you feel you can't take a target down. Most of them carry AP shells, forgoing the common HE, and the rest are armed with electrical weaponry."

Josephine checked in with the tank commander on the status of the armored column before proceeding. It didn't hurt to do a last communications check for good measure.

Scanner the area! And move onwards!

//For sake of the game and simplicity, I've decided that Jason waited so that he can now try the Bonus Task too.

Josephine scanned the area...

...and a warning blip came up! A small Martian Dragonfly probe, masking its radio emissions, is perched on one of the ruined buildings.

It must've picked up being scanned, as it took off into the sky - it's trying to escape!

Quote from: Bonus
Task: Destroy the Probe!
Martian Dragonfly Probe: 5/5 Hull Points, Evasion: 55%
(Task will be considered failed after 3 tries)

Contact! Looks like a scout probe. We need to take it out before they get too much information on the convoy

Jason Waits for the better marksmen in the squad to take a shot.

Josephine fiddled with a few controls until realizing the delay between scanning and weapons targeting...
If I can still shoot at it, fire my only BLASTA weapon at that dragonfly! (Do not use Dragunov)

"Is okay, I shoot down."
If Kenneth or Josephine don't take the drone down, Aphudovy will zap it out of the sky.
Shoot the drone.

Bzoom.

Quote from: Lemashe vs Scoutdrone
85+3-55 = 33
Hit roll: 2, hit!
Damage: 32 damage!

The drone exploded into pieces when the energy beam struck right into center of it.

But how much information did it gather? And for how long? Was the tiny thing responsible for so many allied casualties during previous convoys?

Who the heck knows. The coast was still clear of the enemies, and so was the radar screen.

End Turn

"Decent shot, PUG nOS3. Won't need to waste my ammo."

Advise not to end turn :I

"Keep the initiative up Lt. Rein, the way I see it, those kinds of drones are purely for reconnaissance and intelligence, meaning powerful sensors comparable to transmitting and relaying. If there was only one, then that means they were surveilling this area, or they have quite the technology.

"I'd rather ask command about what degree of technology we have in comparison. That being said, I think it's better if you led the spearhead for now. I'm unsure if they could detect which of us performed the scan but I'd likely be targeted as I am the only one with an active scanning unit as of the present.

Stay on the lookout for any more drones.

Moving on!

Mission 2, Turn 2

The next fifteen minutes were peaceful - until six red pips appeared on the radars, coming from the south. Six Flygun drones were approaching rapidly - the fight of today shall begin right now!

Quote from: Initiative rolls
Flygun D: (6, tied with Lemashe) => 5
Lemashe: (6, tied with Flygun D) => 3
Rein: (5+0.1 = 5.1, tied with Kenneth) => 5
Kenneth: (5+0.1 = 5.1, tied with Rein) => 1
Flygun C: (5, tied with Flygun B) => 5
Flygun B: (5, tied with Flygun C) => 3
Jason: (4, tied with Flygun F) => 4
Flygun F: (4, tied with Jason) => 1
Luis: 3+0.7 = 3.7
Flygun A: 3
Flygun E: 2
Josephine: 1+0.5 = 1.5
Tanks fire last, all of them

Blam! Some fresh paint was scraped off Kenneth's armor as the drones flew from behind the nearby hill.

Quote from: Flygun D vs Kenneth
Hit: 85+6-6 = 85
Hit roll: 83, hit!
Damage: 18-17 = 1 damage

The next fifteen minutes was more small talk about vision, physics, and sight ranges with the environment and weather conditions.

"This is kindly why you should take point. Your mech has a smaller physical signature on the sights!"

Grump grump just a TON MORE SECONDS UNTIL MY TURN
