Outlandish Tales from WWII - Character Sheets & OOC Chat

Well, for my action, I want to land on the BIG walker (invisible) slip inside its weapons area, and possess the gunner and make it shoot the small silver walker. If that takes more than 1 page to accomplish, I'm okay with it. Just let me know if I need to roll anything.

BASHMAN, it will indeed take an extra page for Unknown Soldier to get fully situated and lined up for his shot -- I'll just use the rolls you've made at the end of the new page when his turn comes 'round again.

In general, it's time for actions from pretty much everyone since we've finished the first page of combat. Here's the priority order for page 2:

Blockade: 27
Lady Paramount: 24
Falke Truppen (Flying * Soldiers): 18
Cauchemar: 16
American Rubber: 15
Sky Marshall: 14
Major Meteor: 12
Unknown Soldier: 12
Zerstörer (cannon-wielding medium-sized walking panzer): 11
SS Soldiers Guarding the German Planes: 8
Verbrennungsanlage (small, silver, flamethrowing walking panzer): 4
Eisen Drache (huge, dragon-like walking panzer): 2

Pretty much everyone is engaged at this stage -- the element of surprise is now gone. American Rubber, Lady Paramount and Blockade probably don't realize what Unknown Soldier has just done, so they're likely still seeing the biggest German machine as hostile. They're on the biggest hot-seat by far, in the middle of all three walkers. Feel free to improvise in the setting a bit in terms of cover and whatnot -- scrambling out of harm's way is probably a good idea since you're more or less on center stage.

In the air, it's going to be a scramble as flying * come in from all sides to attack the two flying heroes, plus take a few pot-shots at Blockade, LP and AR. Major Meteor and Sky Marshall, I'll post for the airborne Germans in a day or so, then you'll be free to make defense rolls and carry on with your own actions.

American Rubber, feel free to post intended actions and such, but we'll have to wait until after you're attacked by the aerial troops before we can fully resolve your attacks / actions.

Cauchemar, you're free to act now since you have a higher priority than the Germans you're facing.

Unknown Soldier, after this flurry we'll resolve your attack on the smallest mech.

All clear? Point of all this is that we don't always have to post in exact priority order, we've got some flexibility. Let me know if clarifications / detail is required.

How many SS are there and how much space is between them? Between one and the next, and between the farthest two?

BeardedDork: Hard to get an exact count on the SS, but it's looking like a dozen or more soldiers fanning out and taking cover in front of the closer German plane. (Picture them as parked next to one another, one closer to you and one behind it, farther away.) The dozen or so soldiers are probably spread across a forty foot (eight square) front. That help?

yes indeed it does.

Blockade
Landed
Charged towards largest walker, his plan is to get under it's feet and use it as cover.
With his deflect he got a double and knocked one of the Krauts rockets back at them.
He has then used ricochet to hit both walkers.

GREAT!
I may post some role-play in the play-thread.... but otherwise, I'll wait to be attacked.

Let me know what/when to roll for Soak.

otherwise...
I'm pretty sure AMERICAN RUBBER's *next* panel/action will be to follow-up and support his mini-teammates, backing up Blockade & Lady Paramount. So, he'll wait and see.

Specifically AR will look to *AID* in any special actions...
perhaps a Slam, or Take-the-Hit action (BASH! core p.21-22), that (according to the "Teamwork" action (BASH! core p22) COULD grant us Hero Die with creative descriptions.... Such as an "Alley-Oop" action (if someone wants a lift!) OR perhaps a cool Power Stunt ... maybe something like AMERICAN RUBBER flattening like a sheet while someone else "Pulls the Rug!" out from one of the big tank-machines!?!!

Anyone?

Or would it best best just to "go solo" and start tryin' to pummel some RATZI on my own??

Carpet bombing at work this week. Will turn attention back to the game on the weekend after crawling out of my foxhole...

Cauchemar is going to drop smoke (in a large burst 10x10)

[bash="Confusion"]3,0,0 = 562450425 [/bash]
[dice="Finite"]1d6 = 2109095212 [/dice]

he is then going to move toward the edge of his smoke cloud and fire his line gun at a water tower (necessary for the steam locomotives still in operation at this time)

Swinging
[dice="Finite"]1d6 = 1039900326 [/dice]

He's basically out of movement now but will be in a position to begin to swing around to get the drop on the *, hopefully unseen.

[bash="Stealth"]3,0,0 = 452188461 [/bash]

and if applicable
[bash="Evading Cameras and Alarms"]3,0,0 = 959479612 [/bash]

BeardedDork · Post by **BeardedDork** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 11:08 am

Starting to run out of smoke. (2/3 failed finite rolls remain)

Lady Paramount is going to head for cover behind a nearby jeep

Defense roll
[bash]5,0,0 = 2007120283 [/bash]

and make a called shot at the jetpack of one of the incoming Falken troopers
Attack roll
[bash]5,0,0 = 518374607 [/bash]

Damage roll
[bash]5,0,0 = 1760477923 [/bash]

Heroglyph · Post by **Heroglyph** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:10 pm

Finite rolls for arrows

roll 1 for earlier on the approach
[dice]1d6 = 251626681 [/dice]

Roll 2 for current attack
[dice]1d6 = 1929178073 [/dice]

Heroglyph · Post by **Heroglyph** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:12 pm

Looks like I am down to 2/3 or my arrows.
I'd be willing to spend a hero die for a re-roll

Sorry team -- more issues at work. Please be patient -- post coming later in the week.
