Avastan: Planetfall
Re: Avastan: Planetfall
I will be going for the aimed shot when I get another chance.
Re: Avastan: Planetfall
All at the Hawkwind
Round 2: Full Round AHL Rules Directed by Paul Verhoeven
Erica moves to get a clear shot while the Tech Guy hastily crouches down as soon as he sees he's in her line of fire. Prerna and Solonik open fire. His wild burst misses Erica (and the hapless Tech Guy) while Prerna makes no such mistake and puts a burst of armour piercing sabots into his broad chest.
(OOC:
Solonik shoots at 1,2 Kit 3,4 Prerna 5 Jakob 6 Erica 1d6: 6 = 6 Erica - well, I suppose she did more or less blow his leg off...
To Hit: 2d6 − 2: (6 + 1) − 2 = 5 Miss (+ve Autofire +2 Skill +1 -ve Snapshot -2, Serious Wound -2, Light Wound -1)
Possible autofire hit on Tech Guy 2d6 − 5: (2 + 2) − 5 = –1 Miss
Prerna snapshoots once:
To Hit: 2d6 + 4: (1 + 3) + 4 = 8 Hit (+ve Autofire +2 Skill +3 Dex +2 Light Wound -1 Snapshot -2)
Location: 1d8: 4 = 4 Chest AV7 -1 DM for Effect
Effect: 2d6 − 1: (5 + 3) − 1 = 7 Light Wound [No KO check Cbt Drug]).
With a bellow of rage Solonik now turns on Kit and raises his AK again but the merc officer already has his ACR at the aim and puts a close range burst through Solonik's guts. It seems that this new trauma finally catches up with him and the white haired giant pitches forwards and onto his face emptying his AK into the tarmac as he falls. Additional bursts from Erica and Prerna put the chances of any further action from him as out of the question whilst confirming his status as "very dead".
(Kit's aimed shot:
To Hit: 2d6 + 4: (5 + 2) + 4 = 11 Hit (+ve Autofire +2 Skill +2 Dex +2 Light Wounds -2)
Location: 1d8: 6 = 6 Torso AV7 -1 DM for Effect
Effect: 2d6 − 1: (5 + 4) − 1 = 8 Serious Wound Bingo!)
Jakob pulls the manual igniter on the charge he has "tamped" with the handy corpses of the ISS guy and the local head of state...
(Just so "Merc"!
)
After the muffled detonation all in the vicinity of the trader's ramp realise that they're no longer being shot at - which is nice.
The Tech Guy falls back on his haunches, still with his hands up and garbles "Don'tshootdon'tshootdon'tshoot!!! You've just killed the Secretary, all his henchmen and the Bratva's assassin! Who are you people???"
Still owe Jess a response bear with me...

All
via Direct Obs and Comms
Able directs the fire of his team from atop the Hawkwind on the tactical channel "Pour it on lads! Can't 'ave 'em shootin' the officers - it's... it's... unhygienic...".
Freddie, shooting from Deliverance's air lock, interjects with a sigh and "Now, you know it doesn't mean that".
Able retorts "Shut it! Ruddy 'ell someone's chuckin' instant sunshine abaht in there! It's not Beau's crew 'is lot 're in the uvver 'ole!"
"Phrasing!"
"Shut it... again... or I'll do you!"
Freddie purrs "Oh, I love it when you talk dirty..."
"'Ere, no - 'e's makin' it sound like... Just maintain suppressing fire!!!"
Directed by their emerging junior leaders SEMC delivers an impressive volume of accurate automatic fire into the "northern sheds" via the open bay door including a rifle grenade from Freddie (aimed), Freya's accurate shot, rifle fire from Route One and Ink (prone in a low sangar??? halfway to the sheds) and Able's squad with Nuts' PGMP in support.
Then Able calls "...'old up... s'quiet. Cease fire. Route One, Inky 'ave you got the eye? "
"Stop wrigglin' or I'll fekkin' cut you! Sorry - me cover's gettin' nervous. Route one sees..." Ink relays what must be tactical signals "One... 'ardshell - KIA, two... local punters... ah... ISS Sec For... KIA - both of 'em's... Wot like me??? Oh, both of 'em is smokin' ... ruddy front on 'im!"
Baker adds "I've got a bad angle from the top of the berm but I see two KIA as per Route One. I spotted energy weapon fire out towards the trader but just one round and then more, at least two weapons, laterally inside the sheds. I'm sure none of that was us".

Re: Avastan: Planetfall
Jakob got up from the squishy mess, checked his weapon, and replied on the general comm. "Baker, everyone, let me take the shed with the energy fire. We may have unknown friendlies in the area. Cover me."
He moved quickly to the shed where the energy came from. His weapon was at low ready and not pointed directly ahead.

Freya
Not sure what happened to her last shot in the hail of fire that hit the sheds area, she sends her drone to watch the rear exit - just in case someone makes a run for it. She starts looking, from her perch, at the surrounding berm-edge in case of any new profiles emerging as from up there it's like shooting fish in a barrel..

Jakob and Prerna
Baker adds "Sir, Ma'am, I saw energy weapon fire from your left, the west, then the right. Those enemy I saw go down got it up the aris from the east when they returned fire west. You're lookin' at green force to your left and right".
As the two officers cross the tarmac they near Route One, Ink and their prisoners from the Deliverance. Route One has unslung his bat and Ink is loading a cut down pump shotgun "Want some company in there, Mister Domici, Ma'am?"
(OOC: Universal trans service aris = Aristotle = bottle. Bottle + glass = ass (arse).
Able responds "We've got you, sir".

And with that she checks her own six-O'clock just in case.
Re: Avastan: Planetfall
Prerna stops and looks at her arm. "The rest of you, go with the captain and secure that area. Be sure you don't engage any friendlies." She changes to the command channel. "Prerna is returning to the Hawkwind. Myself and at least two others are lightly wounded, so we need a medic here." She turns and trots back to the Hawkwind's open ramp. "Recon Teams, reposition to cover the north approaches to this berm. Expect a general response from regular Avastan military units. Observe and report for the moment."

Re: Avastan: Planetfall
"Hang back, guys; you're kinda scary. Don't want to intimidate new friends, do we?" Jakob said, ignoring various bits of people dripping from his armor. "Whomever it is made a standing kill shot from a decent distance and kept me from having to explain why I died to the Missus. I'm inclined to be polite."
Jakob took the data from others and pressed on.

Having been shooting to much, realizes that he has not gotten a sit rep from all the units and will give them a warning on the teleporting opponent.

Dylan and Dougal - Have you guys got good enough sight of the reaction force to give accurate targeting info to the Mortars?

Re: Avastan: Planetfall
Jess
Jess briefs the IFV commanders as to her plan and deployment of the IFVs in "Squadron" action. Even with the aid of the battle computer and advanced comms it takes a number of minutes - which fortunately the enemy provide.
The IFVs report they are briefed and hull down in the east side of Viper's Nest berm [D5] (Kit's ride) and the Deliverance berm [D4] (Prerna's ride) while Jess' IFV(PD) hovers protectively in front of Gaughan's G carrier.
Dialling up and focussing the rear view in a fraction of her IFV's command screen she determines that the Rangers appear anything but intimidated by the news of a potentially overwhelming counter attack. Indeed, they appear collectively "restive" if not ever so slightly... "garrity". She can see Gaughan standing right at the front of the crew compartment between the two (unauthorised) .50s. He's armed with a non issue LAG-10. He's a big lad - the rifle's almost "to scale".
The Aslan on the berm's crest lies still but the other two brandish their weapons at the IFV. Jess notes the female, distinctive from above in her flattened cone "battle bowler" helmet, as she gathers her gear and grav trolly from the stranded G Carrier. She stows her rifle and illuminates a (very modest) Trokh "Aid" rune hologram before making her way uphill towards the collapsed Aslan. On the way she pauses to despatch any still moving API casualties with her gauss pistol.The Bindoner wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:30 pm Jess replies in Trokh: We witness your victory, warrior of the Twilight.

OK - Put one over the North runway about in the middle - and one over the South over the 2 of 27. South one just under the clouds so you can duck if you have to. Keep the north one low and moving.Tiglath wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 1:07 am Freya/AllOn the command channel Dylan volunteers "That's a negatory, Ma'am, we could push our flight forward over the berms or right on over the star port buildings and over the northern runway".

Florence - Any sign of increased electronics from anywhere else - if this counter-attack is one arm of a pincer, I'd like to know.
Colonel, in the mean time, we have electronic fixes on the vehicles. Lets drop some rounds on them while they are still loading up. Air-burst if you can.

Voss has ensured the coordination of other units with Gaughan's planned move (which included an exasperating comm call with the Aslan).
He offers an update "Sir, the Aslan state they are moving to enfilade the northern API positions on their berm. The presence of invaders on their land apparently irks them no end. 4DC are out of comm contact due to performing atmospheric re-entry. While not exactly predictable and though the drop may be subject to some "scatter" their arrival must be imminent".

He switches to the command channel
"Be advised, our guests are expected to drop in any time now. Keep your eyes peeled, particularly for any that might end up separated and exposed to the enemy forces."
