[RP/MM] Turn 38 TH vs. CSA Invasion - 1710 Bone-Norman

[Dave Baughman]

TH space forces escorting transports appear at the jump point and begin accelerating towards the surface. Any aerospace response?

[DC Raiders moving through this hex using hostile movement, so need a roll]

[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 5, 5, total 10[/blockquote]

TH Initiative

[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 6, 1, total 7[/blockquote]

[DisGruntled]

With the tie CSA ASF forces would arrive simultaneously with the TH invaders.  Did the rules change on us this cycle that the invader doesn't need to post up their units at least if not FP?

[Holt]

[Because of the time and Daves..... "vacation", the DC will take no action in this hex.]

[Dave Baughman]

TH aerospace escorts attack the freshly-arrived Adder aerospace units.

4th Anti-Pirate Patrol (3 FP R/R)  will attempt to enforce it's defensive interdiction.

[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 3, total 5[/blockquote]

[DisGruntled]

R1 Simple Resolution Results:

TH commits 1.5 FP.
CSA commits 3 FP.

TH inflicts 50% (7 on 1:2 table) doing 0.75 FP of damage.
CSA inflicts % (5 on 2:1 table) doing 1.5 FP of damage.

TH Fighter Squadron 3-13CB - Destroyed
CSA APP 4 -2.25 FP

Since APP 4 took only 25% damage, the interdiction would be broken leading into R2.

[DisGruntled]

Unknown to the TH defenders, reinforcements are being called in from a nearby nodal force in R1 (arrival if any make the roll in R3).

Unexpected reinforcement rolls:

Unaware that enemy reinforcements are on the way, the TH ground forces push through the broken interdiction line to attack the planet.

13th Cavalry Brigade E/R 54.5 FP

[DisGruntled]

The ASF have been ordered to reform an offensive interdiction, and the Militia to scatter / hide.

If the TH chases the militia as their right:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 5, 3, total 8[/blockquote]

[Dave Baughman]

When the local militia disperse, TH doesn't force an engagement.

The following forces arrive in round 3:

11th Armored Cavalry
191st Adder Guards
87th Dragoon Cluster
88th Dragoon
Xi Bombard
Xi Grenadier


TH forces dig in and prepare to defend.
