When the small Ship jumped out, many IR signatures popped up on the screens of Summit.
Khan Raina in person stood on the bridge of one of the Warships and thought grimly: 'This is our hardest attack yet. Into the unknown. Is it the last march of the Khan and her many fine Warriors?'
Showing no concern, she prepared a message: "People of Summit, have no fear. The injust grasp of self proclaimed Nobles on you comes to an end. We are here to lead you on the path of peace and prosperity. I am Khan Raina Montose and with me I have a mighty force. Whoever contemplates about resisting us should think again. Lay down your weapons and you will be spared. If you want to die, state what you will waste and you will be granted your wish."
Summit
"Is the radio on eh? " Silence. "Oh....Good day eh. I'm Colonel McKenzie. Why don't you all come down for some brews and back bacon eh? " Silence. "We can figure out why you all are so lost eh? Maybe find you some flannel and a took." The channel remains open voices in the background. "Hey, hosehead you broke the general's beer eh?"
Summit was well into winter in the northern hemisphere the locals called the continent they were bases on the 'Great White North'. The militia on world was not alone but they answered first. A few seconds later there was another trransmission the sender was most assurredly sober. "This is Colonel Nathan Ryczech of the Gacrux SPM, welcome to Summit. If you are looking for Terrans you will not find them here. If you choose to fight the Militia will happily oblige with a beer drinking contest. If you choose to continue on to Terra you can wait here for clearance or go back to where you came from."
The CIH Forces start the landing.
Any Air interfering?
OOC: Why would air interfere with a beer drinking contest? :)
After Landing and securing the Zone, Clan Ice Hellion units move to seize control of the Planet.
"Lyran units, this is your last chance, surrender now or suffer defeat at our hands. Obviously you are unfit to defend this planet. When you are our bondsmen, you might learn what to be a Warrior means."
CIH is here in force.
Surrender or fight.
Summit.
"Hmmph. So you want to fight eh? Well we will use your rules. My bid is two Lances of the Gacrux SPM (@1FP). Winner gets the planet loser gets Hegira. We will meet you on the Tiaga north of here."
"While your try to show honor at last is appreciated, I cannot accept Hegira for you. Had you shown control over your.. soldiers before, I might have considered it, your failure to take us seriously however is not one you will do twice. We will meet you at the coordinates and then will decide about your fate."
A Medium Nova will meet you in the field. Should we see treachery on your part, our courtesies will be over in an instant."
(1.3125 / 1.25 for simp res)
The other forces continue to secure the important parts of the planets.

May I ask why you roll so many? I rolled a 7 and you did too.
Thats not enough for a decisive outcome, but..
Initiative, attack roll, crit chance and crit result.
Can you point me to the Initiative roll? I never saw that in the rules. When NVA established this to my knowledge, others took that up. But if it was never codified, I wont care for it. Therefore we just need one roll.

QuoteCombat Procedure
The general procedure for combat is as follows:
1. Initiative: all involved factions roll 2d6 to determine the order they will declare orders in.
2. Declare Orders: each faction announces its actions.
3. Special Scenarios: any unique rules or conditions should be disclosed at this point (if they have not already).
4. Resolution: play MegaMek or roll for simple resolution.
5. Damage Control: any force that took damage but survived the combat regains 10% of the lost FP (round to the nearest 0.25).
6. Conclusion: in Raid and Battle type scenarios, the attacker withdraws to an adjacent friendly hex (if applicable). In Invasions, repeat steps 1-5 as neccessary until the Invasion has been completed.
Note: Each turn only contains six combat rounds. Invasion scenarios that continue past round six spill over into the next turn.
7. Salvage: Determine the total actual damage sustained and roll 2d6 to determine the percentage that is salvageable. Add a +5 bonus for raids, +10 for battles, and +15 for invasions (as well as an additional +10 incentive bonus if all operations were played out in MegaMek). Salvage is claimed by the faction that ends the turn in control of the planet, except for raids where the raider may roll on the Raid Salvage chart to steal a percentage of the available salvage (apply a +2 modifier if the raid was successful)*.
*If the operation was a Clan trial, and Zellbrigen was upheld for the entire fight, salvage is automatically 50%.
Thanks Dave. However, what happens if both have the same Roll?

Good question. If you have a straight-up tie on operational initiative, I'd say you guys should roll off to break the tie (though I don't believe that's explicitly spelled out in the rules)

In the past it was simultaneous combat just like the board game. Just an FYI.

Since its not specifically spelled out one way or the other, that's fine with me as well. Pretty much comes down to "mutual agreement" in the absence of a hard and fast rule after all.
I guess I just roll for Damage then.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 4, total 6[/blockquote]
Summit force receives .25 FP damage,
CIH force receives .75 FP of damage.
.75 left for Summit
.5 left for CIH. How disruption works I do not know, considering this is just one splinterforce.
CIH would send in reinforcements. But as I say, not sure. If not allowed, this fight goes on. (Not making sense, though.)

Disruption affects only the force that participated in combat, so if you have more troops in the system they can still receive orders in the second operational round.
But can they still fight?
For op round 2, the forces that actually fought in the battle can only use defense orders. However, any troops that weren't in the actual fight can jump in.
If everyone attacked during op round 1, then op round 2 will basically be a mexican standoff since those forces on the ground can't attack and the militia won't willingly charge to their deaths (even if they are just delaying the inevitable).
OOC:This was a trial IIRC. If the hellions want to break the bid that's fine but it will have repercussions later. The Attack happened during a holiday period wich explains the drunken banter at the beginning by the milliz in the RP. The Sober commander of the Gacrux SPM would hope that an honorable trial would be conducted. Either way the Hellions go does not bother me but the IC repercussions might make things interesting.
Borean Contient,Summit.
"Clan Commander you have fought honorably. Withdraw your forces and return to your space.
The Commander calls down additional Forces. The Khan grants him but 2 more FP, though.
This side of the IS seems to be a horrible experience for the Ice Hellions.
The fresh force attacks immediately.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 4, 1, total 5[/blockquote]
And move to reinforce the original force.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 4, 5, total 9[/blockquote] Gacrux SPM force counter attacks.
The above is defensive. Skye does not re-enforce keeping to the letter of the trial as issued.
Now there is another question: as the defending Force attacks, do the remaining forces get to roll a defensive roll or just the .5 FP force? As they are attacked.
You get another Crit roll, DR. :( SimpRes is really bad. For me, that is.
So far you deal .5 FP of damage.
Crit roll [blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 3, total 4[/blockquote]
At least one roll, right?
If for the reinforced group or just the pitiful bunch is not mine to decide.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 6, total 7[/blockquote]
Re-enforcements arrive...Gacrux SPM main body less the FP already engaged..23.25 ground,3 Air.
Initial force is out of the fight.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 5, total 7[/blockquote]
Air is on ground support.
Then the Khan lets loose the rest of her forces.
105 FP of Alpha and Beta Galaxy, with Air support.
Gloves are off, then.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 3, total 4[/blockquote]
That is without the former Trial force, 2.5 were left before your last roll that did .5 damage.
Is your reinforcement attacking the above or how is it done?
(I seemingly cannot roll anything decent this turn... 21 damage to you.)
Gacrux SPM make it's last stand unit COmmander sends final message then takes the field total FP 4.0 (3 of it air on ground support). [blockquote]Rolled 2d6+1 : 3, 4 + 1, total 8[/blockquote] (crit result from round two give a bonus of +1).
Summit
"HAVE AT THEM!!! Glory to the Archon!" The SPM charges to meet the Hellions guns blazing."
The above roll is actually a 7... :-\ Mis read a roll earlier.
The Khan in her Battle Armor can only respect the Colonel out there who charges into her massive line.
A shame that Star Colonel Aleksandr Taney's Nova fared so bad against the mere Militia.. it would have repercussions that he had to call in reinforcements..
"Keep your guard and destroy them." that were her orders, before her carrier dashed into the battle.
Along with many others.
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 6, total 8[/blockquote]
crit possible
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 1, total 3[/blockquote]
IC: the Khan's Cluster ripped into the enemy while many of the Mechs flakked at the enemy's Air support. They had no chance against the hardened Warriors of Clan Ice Hellion.
Total Damage to Gacrux SPM 26.25 (They were crushed) in glorious battle) [blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 5, 2, total 7[/blockquote]
The Gacrux SPM Commander survived...needed a 6 got a 7 he ejected safely and is immediately picked up by Hellion forces.
Summit
Colonel Nathan Rychezk pulled his field jacket over his shoulders as he stood up and waited. As the Hellionms approached he dropped his pistol belt to the ground and raised his hands. He knew there was know escape tears ran down his cheeks as he mouned the loss of his unit and his freedom.
Salvage pool:
30,25
Total Damage for CIH: 4,75
SPM wiped out the smaller force which was 2.5 minus some damage by the original Summit Trial force.
1.25 sent in, mauled, extra 2 FP sent in, dead by the SPM total. (all in all 3.25)
Damage to the big CIH force: 1.5 FP
Total 4.75
Salvage Roll: [blockquote]Rolled 2d6+15 : 4, 2 + 15, total 21[/blockquote]
Possible: 6,25 FP.
CIH can repair up.
1,5 FP pooled.
Actually, the 150th Hellion Lancers can only make up 3 FP as Field Repairs.
.75 FP are pooled as well from their damage.
