[RP/MM][Complete] Turn 40, LC vs. CJF 2114 Baker 3

[chanman]

The unmistakable shape of the LCS Invincible emerged from jump.

The same force that had been over Dompaire was now at Baker 3.

Naval blockade: 236 FP

Invasion: 124.75 FP

Galaxy Commander Nadia Binetti slowly walked across the tarmac. She held no illusions about what was to come once the over whealming forces above landed. She would give the best account of herself that she possibly could, but there were so damn many of them! She knew she stood little chance of doing more than bloodying their nose...although she knew it was well within her warriors to give them the worst bloody nose in the galaxy.

She prepared her understrength Galaxy for combat, knowing that despite the odds most likly being against them(that sized fleet didnt carry a battalion after all), they would conduct themselves as Clan warriors, worthy of the honor bestowed upon them by the Clan's scientists, as being the best warriors in the universe. Phi Galaxy would show these upstart Inner Sphere Houses what it meant to attack a Clan on it's own soil. They would pay dearly for every single foot that was set down on Baker 3. Take it they might: but they would not be returning to active combat at full strength anytime soon!

STILL NEW AT THIS! (I am, that is)

the attack:

[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 4, 3, total 7[/blockquote]

[chanman]

Right, so refer to the table here:

http://intelser.org/forums/index.php?topic=147.15

Outnumber opponents 3:1 table says that a roll of 7 means you deal 70% of your total force's strength in damage.
so... 0.7 * 124.75 FP = 87.325 FP damage dealt That rounds to 87.5, but the difference in this case is academic.
The roll is 7, so there are no critical chances.

This part can be resolved without input from the other player.

At this point, Daemonknight will roll on his attack table to see how much damage is dealt to the Lyrans. As the winner in an invasion battle, you then check to see how much salvage you collect and how much of the damage to your units you can repair with the salvage.

[Daemonknight]

he hasn't won yet. The RNG has been liking me of late i could get a super-lucky critical set that could save me...not sure what that'd be, but its possible!


Sorry i havn't really done anything here, i'm not actually at home, i got admitted to the hospital a week ago, and i havn't been in a gaming state...heavy pain meds have that effect. I promise i'll get my end done soon! I should have all my tracking files and whatnot transfered to my labtop here from my home computer by tonight. Just depends on exactly what happens with the doctors, and how i am feeling, but it'll be either tonight or tommarow that i get the battle done. I'll get it done myself tho, no worries, dont need to bother the GMs.

[Daemonknight]

Okay, Phi Galaxy combat roll(I hope the Gods are still with me in this combat: i'll need them!):

[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 6, 6, total 12[/blockquote]

[Daemonknight]

PHEW!!

Per the rules, instead of rolling for critical hits, i am going to declare immediate victory and force the retreat of the Lyran forces from Baker 3. Not sure what that means for damage, as the only way to explain such a situation with the force discrepancy would essentially be that as the Lyrans were coming down, the Clanners engaged them before they had time to properly sort themselves up and were massacred at their dropsites... I'm going to have to fall back to Dave to decide just how to work out exact damage and whatnot.


However, either way:

Clan Jade Falcon sucessfully defends the world of Baker 3, preventing the Lyrans from ever even establishing a proper beachhead on the surface.

By the way Cannon, when you are in combat, instead of just posting your FP, you need to actually post the breakdown of what units are present, same goes for Warships and whatnot that're in space.

[NVA]

12 on the crit chance gives you that option.  You can choose 3 crits or insta victory.

[Dave Baughman]

12 on the crit chance gives you that option.  You can choose 3 crits or insta victory.

NVA is correct on this matter. The "automatic win" outcome is a 12 on the crit check, not a 12 on the simple resolution roll.

[Cannonshop]

Beautiful roll though.

[Fatebringer]

Daemon still needs to roll his Crit Chance.

[chanman]

Disregard the Snord's Irregulars. Because of some movement weirdness with the SLDF, they should be relocated. I'll forward you the PM

It should be the Invincible, Tiger, 1-11th Jagdscweider, and the Tamar Cavaliers.

That would make up the FP listed in the first post of the thread.

All the units that were on Aiyina are now ruled to have withdrawn with the SLDF forces back in turn 38.

I apologize for any confusion caused.
