ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Mr. Hurricane]

"stuff!" Jaakko yells.

He dumps all four of his JSMs onto one Defender in the group of three at Charlie.

[Ad Bot]

[Qwepir]

"Time to try this again."

Graf loops back around and fires the UAC at the Defender once more, then fires an AGM at it.

Faw flies over to Alpha. He clicks on the comms.

"Alpha, this is Gladiator, what's the situation down there?"

Faw starts to line up a strafing run on the power armor on the left flank.

: Encountering heavy resistance from heavy treaded and personal armor! We need those taken out!

"I'm just worried that they'll intercept everything,"

Jaakko expends all of his JSMs on one of the Defenders in the group at Charlie.

He is unsuccessful.
: Well. Taxpayer dollars at work.

"Right, sorry, the PD on that destroyer."

: I can do that.
: I think we should drag that thing away from the camp before we start pouring fire on it.
: How are we going to get it away from there without pouring fire on it?
: Fair point. Just be careful what you hit.

Tippy throws out a scan for a distress signal or radio operator calling for help.
"If anyone is down there trying to get out, please respond." She says, hoping the channel is secured well enough from her enemies.

: What? Who is this?

[NoZoner]

Lorens immediately recognizes the profile of the destroyer. The air-to-ground weapon layout adorning the bottom of the craft is burned into his memory. He starts visualizing the approach.

"Four, requesting permission to attack the destroyer! We need to take out the air-to-ground weapons!"

[Deoxys And One Noob]

"Right. Doing this too quickly, let's try this again..."


Hilbert decides to try and overload the LAMS on the Defender by firing four F12 rockets, then dropping his 500 pound bomb to cripple it. He lines up, goes a bit slower, and starts his attack.

[Gojira]

"Go ahead and engage, and try to take out a couple of those PD emplacements if you can."

[Operator¹]

Ellie locks onto the SAM launch tubes of the destroyer and waits to enter missile range.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"No JSMs, I'm gonna help the infantry and destroy the Izzy infantry and AT,"

Jaakko comes about and prepares a run against the infantry.

He radios the Infantry in Charlie.

"Preparing a run against the infantry at your front,"

[Badger]

"Thank you for firing those, didn't have time to explain politely and botch up my run."

Walter pulls his aircraft around to line up on the defenders with his UAC again while informing the ground forces.

"One defender neutralized, second damaged. Circling around to hit them again."

[Tayasaurus]

Lorens immediately recognizes the profile of the destroyer. The air-to-ground weapon layout adorning the bottom of the craft is burned into his memory. He starts visualizing the approach.

"Four, requesting permission to attack the destroyer! We need to take out the air-to-ground weapons!"

"Permission granted. Give em' hell!"

: What? Who is this?

"This is Mjolnir air squadron. We're seeking details on those enemy VTOLs in the camp."

Tippy lines up 2 RGM's on the destroyers SAMS and fires

[ZombiLoin]

Faw swoops down on his planned strafing run on the power armor and fires all his cannons. He does a steep climb back up and starts to reposition himself for another strafing run on the infantry also on the left flank.

[Gojira]

Yui hangs back to provide overwatch, staying out of SAM range of the destroyer and the other ship.

[NoZoner]

"Permission granted. Give em' hell!"

"You got it, Captain! Snowman, in hot!"

The 'Hog drops down from the formation and starts descending to get under the Excubitor. He charges the capacitors, chambers a sabot round and puts the reticle pipper on target.

[Qwepir]

"Right. Doing this too quickly, let's try this again..."
Hilbert decides to try and overload the LAMS on the Defender by firing four F12 rockets, then dropping his 500 pound bomb to cripple it. He lines up, goes a bit slower, and starts his attack.

The bomb doesn't land near enough the defender to damage it, but it does land near enough some infantry to damage them.

"No JSMs, I'm gonna help the infantry and destroy the Izzy infantry and AT,"
Jaakko comes about and prepares a run against the infantry.
He radios the Infantry in Charlie.
"Preparing a run against the infantry at your front,"

: Understood. Heads down, men!

"Thank you for firing those, didn't have time to explain politely and botch up my run."
Walter pulls his aircraft around to fire on the defenders with his UAC again while informing the ground forces.
"One defender neutralized, second damaged. Circling around to hit them again."

: Thanks for the heads up.

Faw swoops down on his planned strafing run on the power armor and fires all his cannons. He does a steep climb back up and starts to reposition himself for another strafing run on the infantry also on the left flank.

: We know what we're doing. Don't boss us around.

Tippy lines up 2 RGM's on the destroyers SAMS and fires

LAMS rolls to intercept missiles:
RGM 1: 25 - success
RGM 2: 14 - success
Both missiles are shot down, and the destroyer begins rotating in place to meet you with its broadside.

"This is Mjolnir air squadron. We're seeking details on those enemy VTOLs in the camp."

: They're evacuating wounded, and anyone who stayed in their cell. Can't fault them for the former, and they can keep the latter. Cowards. Forget about those, it's the destroyer that's killing us!

Ellie locks onto the SAM launch tubes of the destroyer and waits to enter missile range.

You are now in missile range.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Graf, take thirty seconds and set up a run, you'll hit something that way," Jaakko chides.

He lines up his target, and strafes the Imperial infantry with both AC5s.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw continues to line up a run on the infantry for a moment. He checks that all his weapons systems are functioning well, and that the double heatsinks are working as expected.

"Alpha, I'm going down for another run on the left flank."

He swoops down on his aimed target and fires all his guns. After firing, he pulls up on the stick and goes into a steep climb back up to altitude.

Defender LAMS rolls to intercept incoming rockets:
F12: 3 - three rockets destroyed

Graf's BS 32
Test taken at 32
Roll: 78 - failure by 5 degrees
Result: miss
Scatter roll: 5
Result: Bomb misses target, lands 50m due east.

The bomb doesn't land near enough the defender to damage it, but it does land near enough some infantry to damage them.

After regaining altitude, Faw watches the Defender brush off the rocket, and Graf's bomb go wildly off topic. He tunes into comms again.

"Ach, Graf, attacking the Defender is like killing the Spelskrím, you're only hurting yourself! Focus on the flanks and clear them out, then our forces will be able to envelop the thing and attack it from the side."

Faw radios the tank unit on the ground.

"What's the situation down there? How much longer can you hold out?"
