First Combat Encounter

As you get into your mech you establish communication with Snake who announce he is few miles behind intruders.
You have protect mechs and base at all costs: the 3d printers that was not blown up will allow pirates to create more mechs and weapons - that would be a death sentence to the colony. But they would manage to print them fast enough before snake arrives with his (more advanced) mech and establish control.

You primary mission is to protect mechs, systems and weapons currently deployed in the base to not allow pirates to use that resource against snake
Your secondary mission - repeal attack without Snake (it will make sure you save your own life)
There are 6 Everest hulls in the base (2 for each of you). You can set up two of them and board one. If you feel like loosing Everest your job is to initiate self destruction of a mech and retrad to hangar to board your second mech
(see rule book SELF-DESTRUCT quick action for more info)

If you want to zoom map in and out as well as measure the distance in more convenient way, you could joind my roll20 game using this link but is not necessary to join my roll20 game to proceed with the combat

Your base visual representation - there is a central building for mechs and smaller for systems, weapons and workshops for printing spare parst and installing them of the mechs. Note that fence around are mostly to prevent animals getting into the base, but mechs will simply ignore it. Nevertheless trees provide you soft cover while structures - hard cover as per rulesWe will be playing the battle on a grid without the nice picture. It will instead be a color coded grid just as in rules to better unerstand the line of sight


To deploy pick any light-green spot in this map:

ooc: thought I would be able to post this morning at work but boss showed up... will get a post out in the next few hours after they leave.

@Choomie Sasha and Lane deployed like that, if you don't want to go to roll 20 just tell me approximate where would you like to start combat at

You see over the building roofs a huge robot approaching from south. Some of you could notice a a few mechs of same size as you having flight systems flying over trees not far from it, though it is hard to guess how much of them as nearby buildings obscure them. You do clearly see a pair of such mechs approaching from east though

Now I want all of you to describe your round 1 turn. I will resolve them as if they were all simultaneous. Then I will resolve all enemy turns - also as if they were simultaneous.

ooc: FYI, the leadership dice Sasha gave you does not need to be used right away... you can retain it for the entirety of the encounter.

Gory was now piloting his squat, teal-colored mech he affectionately dubbed "The Fatty Bombulatty." Over the mech's left shoulder was a large tube-like weapon, and as Gory got to work in the cockpit, the tube lowered. He aimed the spear-like rocket towards the cluster of enemies closing from the south.

Your mech speed is 4 hexes. If you spend quick action to BOOST you could another 4

ooc:

Also (if needed) > Initiative: 1/scene the Everest may take any quick action as a free action.

@Drgwen Please consult rulebook chapter 3, section "Turn based combat" it describes your options

You normally do two quick actions or 3 if you decide to volunteer taking heat on your mech. Not to mention extra pointed out by Balthazar

@Choomie I have problems to find "RPG" ewapon in core rulebook, could you tell be page where it is or share your PC code to find description on compcon.app or quote weapon description here, thanks. I just want to let you know there are no enemy in range 10 of your mech

@GreyWord That graphic would be good as a reference in the Q&A gameplay thread
