ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

"Affirmative."
I stop circling above the bridge and move towards the enemy armor amd watch for any other hostile incursions.

"Commander, enemy armor advancing on your position in retreat. Do you have any alternative routes? Otherwise Gus here is going to engage."

: I'm sure we could go offroading, but I would really rather not waste any more time. Light 'em up.

gus repeats what he just was doing

"Mjolnir to ground, CAS approaching from the Southwest, coming in hot." Richard looks out the canopy for the PAK-FA. "Guns on the armor." He places the lasersight on the near end of the column and drags a single PPC beam across its length.

The PPC punches right through the thin top armor of the lead IFV, detonating the stored missiles and blowing the entire front end apart. Only the rear end with the troop bay remains remotely intact, not that anyone inside would have survived.

Gus sights the front of the column and sends a burst towards each vehicle.

You destroy one of the tanks outright, and knock out another. It's going to take more than one run to hit them all, if you're limiting yourselves to guns. The tank covering the rear swings its turret around forward, and the group begins to spread out in preparation to engage incoming hostiles.

"Hawkeye, head on further and watch for movement. I'll attack with Tempest to keep the armor from reaching our friendlies."

Vapor clouds build up on the Sabre's trapezoidal wings as it swings around in a spiral and comes in parallel with the ground forces.

whoops, give me a moment
for clarification, this is a PPC, it's not something you can drag along like a beam laser

Bell lines up a run and fires off an AGM at the rear tank.

[Lockebox]

Roger probably finally touches down at base at this point i'm guessing :o

[CypherX]

Gus loops around and goes for another gun run on the tanks.

[blockguy™]

Ralph tries to damage at least one tank with his LCP.

Bell takes out the tank in the rear, Gus the one ahead, and Tourist kills the IFV. No further hostiles are in the immediate area, and the path ahead to allied forces is clear. It is now at the squad leader's discretion to leave.

[NoZoner]

Richard watches as the last three armored vehicles go up in flames.

"Good effect on target! Mjolnir to ground, we're not picking up any more threats in the area. Did you want us to keep watch for you or are we free to go?"

Roger probably finally touches down at base at this point i'm guessing :o

lets see... if we say a turn represents something like 30 seconds of activity and you left 17 turns ago, at the f-16xl's cruising speed of 600mph, that would put the base around 80 miles from Tultitlan. sounds reasonable, i think

: We're good, I think. Should be back in communications with the rest of our unit any moment now. Thanks for the assist, Mjolnir.
