Nadir Jump Point
Verthandi Star System
Hell's Horses Territory
22 March 3090Detaching from an unidentified JumpShip that had appeared only moments earlier, several DropShips raced towards the planet's surface. The ships were unmarked, but their types - a
Mule and a
Hamilcar escorting a pair of
Dictators - left little question as to their nationality.

Forces arrive in operational round 2
Units present: Elements of White Reapers (nationality: Word of Blake), Elements of Destined Communication (nationality: Word of Blake)
Engagement Intensity: Incursion
Planetary Headquarters, Verthandi
22 March 3090
"... and send a message to both New Caledonia and Csesztreg. Inform them that sensors are showing at least two battalions of 'Mechs are headed towarded Verthandi. The stravag Blakists have a Mule along for the ride and one of those odd looking Hamilcar dropships."
"Aff, Star Captain."
As his aide left his side to begin the HPG communique, Star Captain Hanson, former Crusader Elemental, and now commander of the planetary militia on Verthandi, began plotting the defense of the world entrusted to him.
(ooc: Planetary militia only present)
(OOC - feel free to roll for the composition of your militia. One of the nice things about this forum is that it has the [ roll ] command on it, allowing everyone to roll their own dice on demand :))
Also...
WOB Initiative
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 4, total 6[/blockquote]
Hell's Horses Initiative:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 3, total 4[/blockquote]
Planetary Militia: Medium
Quality, weight class and tech level:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 6, 6, total 12[/blockquote]
Initiative took a tumble, but everythng else comes up smelling of roses:
Mechs: 2x bottom level Elite, 2nd Line Heavies
Armour: 2x bottom level Elite, 2nd Line Heavies
Conventional Fighters: 2x bottom level Elite
Infantry: 2x bottom level Elite
(OOC - whoops, I didn't see the HH initiative roll)
Since WOB won initiative, they will post orders first.
- Jump point: Landing - elements of Destined Communication (Transport Ships), 20 FP; no orders - elements of White Reapers
- Atmo/Orbit: no units
- Surface: no units
OOC2 - let me know if you will try to intercept with your conventional fighters when the WOB dropships hit your atmosphere. Otherwise, we can probably go straight to op round 2 initiative.
Dave,
In looking at some of the other threads, it looks as though you differentiated Unit Quality, Weight and Tech Level through the use of separate rolls. Whereas I just took at as the 2D6 roll being that particular line across from the number.
Do you want me to roll the extra requirements?
(ps... the conventional fighters will attempt to intercept. cheers)

The issue with the roll was my fault in not being more clear in the rules. I posted an eratta, but your roll is grandfathered.

Atmo/Orbit Theater*
HH inflicts 0 FP
WOB inflicts 8 FP
*Why did the HH make this seemingly meaningless attack you might ask? Even though they couldn't inflict FP, they might have still rolled a critical event or disrupted the transports, so they sacrificed themselves to make the attempt.
Surface Theater
HH inflicts 4 FP and earns the enemy a critical opportunity
WOB inflicts 3 FP
WOB Crit Check
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 3, 3, total 6[/blockquote]
No Crit.
Interception fails.
Incidentally, I was doing victory points wrong earlier. That's what I get for rushing. The VP totals for Atmo/Orbit and Surface should have been tracked separately. It did not impact the outcome of the battle, but its a good thing to remember.
Decisive WOB Victory in the Atmo/Orbit Theater - Score is WOB 6 VP, HH 0 VP.
Decisive HH Victory in the Surface threater - Score is WOB 0, HH 9 VP.
WOB forces are required to withdraw but do not have access to transport
Failed withdrawal roll
[blockquote]Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3[/blockquote]
WOB must use Guerilla Warfare orders (if able) for the rest of the turn.

Total Damage for the battle: 79 FP
Salvage check:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 4, 1, total 5[/blockquote]
Salvage is 5% -- HH recovers 4 RP of salvage.
How... interesting.
Now I presume that as Militia, they disappear back into the ether until required again. Yes?
What happens with the salvage? Does the FP amount go into our generic budget?
Thanks.

Correct on both counts. The militia disperse back into off-camera-land once the combat is ended. If they get called up again, they get rolled fresh.
The RP gained from salvage gets added to the revenue side of your economics tab for turn 3.
