[RP/MM] Turn 45 CSC vs. Niops -- 0935 Niops Invasion/Blockade [complete]

[NVA]

"My intent is that those forces will depart this system, should you defeat us."

[Marlin]

"The Niops forces cannot be allowed to go. If we follow our customs here, then they will be bound to the result and must lay down their weapons. Also, taking them with you would mean the ones responsible for the use of Weapons of Mass destruction would escape their justice. You will see that this cannot be allowed.

Now, I await your bid."

[NVA]

"I am aware of the customs of the clans.  Those forces who fight may be taken as isorla.  But, if it is your intent to claim forces that are not bid into battle, then I would counter that claim and demand that a portion of your force become part of the SLDF after we defeat you.  Again, if this is in fact your custom, it should be exactly what you would expect anyway.  You have already challenged for this world.  That is your claim is this world and its infrastructure.  Anything beyond that was not part of your batchall.  Now, I will guarantee you that the forces that used the nuclear devices, if any are left, will face trial and welcome you to assign an observer to ensure that it is not a mockery.  However, I believe that you destroyed the entire force.  So, are you prepared to have part of your force who does not take part in our trial become part of the isorla we would claim, per your customs?"

[Marlin]

OOC: actually you are right about this, lower Castes stay but all others go on. Well then lets get this started, shall we?

IC: "The fact that you cannot bring a bid up in reasonable time tells me that all troops on Niops are in this bid, quiaff? I think that will help us out. I bid all I have at my disposal and I will look that you can become bondsman, once it is clear you had nothing to do with those terrible Weapons."

To her crews: "Commence the landing and make it quick and decisive. We cannot wait much longer."

FP I will have to count together though.

[Marlin]

OOC: Okay, one more question for the mechanics: If I go all out on Niops VII, and conquer it, would that be just one round? Could I go for the other 2 Planets the next and overnext rounds? (or both next round?)

WOuld those troops there on the ground (if any) profit from the battle and could make it to guerilla? (not making sense, but mechanically it could work perhaps.)

If there is any doubt, I will have to split up the attackers.

[NVA]

"It is comforting that your clan so fears our force that you cower from your own customs.  The terms of the batchall had not been determined yet, so there was no way for me to know what to bid.  But, it appears that your time with the other lowly clans has infected you with the cowardice the others suffer from.  Perhaps I am wrong though and you merely suffer from impatience, rather than Adderson's disease.  Yes, it has been named.  The cowardice that infects the clans is known among us as Addersons.  So, let us see if you suffer from this genetic defect."

[Marlin]

Niops VII is being hit by the forces, with the other planets mopped up afterwards. If this is going to pose a problem for the invader in terms of units going to ground, this will be amended. PM was sent and question asked here as well. DR6 knows and suggested rolling in.
Interdiction already broken.

Niops Assault 1:

459,75 FP: [blockquote]Rolled 2d6-1 : 2, 3 - 1, total 4[/blockquote]

[Marlin]

92 Damage to the Defenders. I will need their FP.

[NVA]

Marlin,
  I will do rolls in a minute, but you will need to recalculate damage.  Since the SCs went away from the trial, I am required to make some special scenario rolls first.  But, before we get to that...

80.25 FP in Niops/SLDF Forces
15 FP <I believe> in CoPS forces

  Niops forces will use 4 nuclear devices against the cats.

CSC Damage -

459.75-25 <Nuke> = 434.75 At the start of round 2

Round 2

CSC - Rolled 4

434.75*20%=87 FP Damage done

Niops Allies - Rolled 10 - Special C and D

95.25*60%=57 FP Damage Done

CSC End Rd 2 = 377 FP
Niops+ End Rd 2 = 8.25 FP

Check my math before we continue please?

[Marlin]

Your Math seems correct.

Obviously, the Shock of half a dozen Nukes lobbed at them hampers the Cat's performance to a great degree.

Next turn?

[NVA]

Need to get with Dave or one of the other GMs to understand what the 'CD' on my 10 roll means.  And, if D = Disruption, what does it allow me to do.
