GMSO - Silent Surprise (Turn 22)

Post by Nerre » Mon Jul 13, 2015 3:35 pm

OPERATION: SPACE ODYSSEY

Mission 2: Silent Surprise
After the minesweeper crew successfully cleared the huge minefield during Mission Asteroid Slalom, your fleet now has arrived. While they fight big battles, your squad has already a new asignment. A shield generator has been located on a porous asteroid, which protects the enemy's spacestation. While your fleet can wipe out the enemy fleet, it cannot attack the station while it is protected by the powerfull shield.
Since the generator asteroid also is surrounded by a strong shield, only small objects can be teleported in, and only one at a time. Such as a person in a space suit. Your task is to clear the path for a special ops squad that will try to raid the generator base. To make sure most of them arrive, your task is to clear their path. From time to time, you will get special ops members to help you fight hostile forces. They share the teleportation windows with your team, and can move and fight just like you, only with different attributes. Try not to explode mines, as it might attract hostile forces and block possible teleportation windows for spec ops if players have to respawn. You start in turn 0 after all of you have been teleported in.
Turn 22
Image

Information:
- you start with 1 mp (movement point) as a new character. You can shoot for free, even while moving.
- you start with 5 health. Lost health can be regained by doing a repair action, restoring 2 health per turn. This is a full turn action, no other actions or movement allowed.
- moving diagonally costs 1.5 mp, moving up/down/left/right costs 1 mp.
- placing a beacon/flag costs 1 mp, and so will special actions that may come later.
- the more mp you gain,the quicker you can move. Once you reach 2 mp, you can also spend 1 of your mp for a special action or to place a beacon. You can move normally with the rest of your mp. But you cannot place 2 beacons or buy more actions like this.
- if you move diagonally and one of the adjacent tiles, which you would have to pass with none-diagonal movement, is an active mine not marked with a beacon, you have a 50% chance to trigger it.
- your blasters start with a range of 3 and 1 damage. You automatically defend yourself, but do not automatically aid somebody or attack.
- if you have more than one attack, you can split them between several targets.
- each tile with a number also has an equal amount of red dots in the upper left corner, just in case you cannot read the number cause of the player avatars.
- better spacesuits might have better values.
- You can only deployed on column A-I until somebody reaches a column further to the right, no matter if PC or special ops NPC. Once somebody reached a column, it is then unlocked for deployment for the rest of the game.

Actions:
Comes-too-late retreats to H1, which is already explored and safe. He deals 1 damage to the tower on K2 before he gets out of range.
Fails-to-see flies to H5, which is already explored and safe. For some reason he does not attack anything.
Ka's Splaat flies to F7, uncovering a 1. He fires at the soldier on H9, dealing 1.5 damage. Together with the attack of Spec Ops 4, their damage is enough to take him out before he can attack. The field he entered contains an empty barracks building.
Makes-it-go-boom flies to I4 and fires on the tower on K3, dealing 1 damage.
Pats-Asteroids stays H6 and fires on the tower of I8, dealing 1.5 damage. The tower returns fire and deals 2 damage to Pats.

Spec ops 1 flies to G5, which is already explored and safe.
Spec ops 2 flies to I6, which is already explored and safe. Tower L7 fires at him, dealing 4 damage. Tower K9 does the same, also dealing 4 damage. Spec ops 2 fires at I8, dealing 4 damage.
Spec ops 3 flies to I2, which is not explored but seems to be safe. He gets attacked by tower K2, receiving 4 damage. His suit explodes, but not before he fires his blaster launcher in return, dealing 6 damage to the tower. The tower looks pretty beaten up, like it won't last much longer. At least he makes tower K3 fire on him too instead of another target.
Spec ops 4 stays on G6 and fires at the soldier on H9, dealing 8 damage. Together with the attack of Ka, their damage is enough to take him out before he can attack.

Comes-too-late retreats to G1, while aiming in the general directions of the barracks on J1.

Dangit, the new towers seem to have a range of 4. (K9 to I6=1,5+1,5+1=4).

SO1 (G5): flies to H4.
SO2 (I6): scrambles back to H6, or forward to J6 and fires at L7 (and dies).
SO3 (clonetanks): regenerate
SO4 (G6): flies to G7 (if he's on F7 like the image suggests, he flies to G8). If he can fly to G8, he fires at the tower I8. (range only 2 vs. non-infantry).
Question is So4 really on G6? The text says so, but the image does not correspond to that.

Proposal for Makes-it-go-boom (I4) (in case Moose does not post himself): fires at K2 and retreats to H5.


We will need to forard against the new towers at the same time. Preferably all on the same. As the towers L7 and K9 cover each other with the current angle, we might have to take out K2 and K3 first, then go top-down.

I'd like either SO1 or SO2 to fire on I8 to finish it off. myself, K,aa and the sniper will be 1.5 off killing it with Krulle suggestions

so.
Pats moves to G7 and fires on I8

SO1 (G5): flies to H4. back up at the top seems ok for now
SO2 (I6): flies H6 fires on I8
SO3 (clonetanks): regenerates i guess ready for a bombing attack on the next arrival.
SO4 (G6?? not pictured): Move into any free H column

- You can only deployed on column A-I until somebody reaches a column further to the right, no matter if PC or special ops NPC. Once somebody reached a column, it is then unlocked for deployment for the rest of the game.

Actions:
Comes-too-late retreats to G1, which is already explored and safe. He fires at the building on J1, dealing 1 damage. He gets out of range of tower K2 before it can fire.
Fails-to-see flies to I5, which is already explored and safe. He deals 1 damage to the tower on I8. By their the combined damage, the tower is destroyed before it can fire. He fails to see that this brings him within reach of tower K2, which toasts his suit. It happens so quick that Tower K3 does not even fire. His clone will be deployed in turn 25 (post actions after turn 24).
Ka's Splaat flies to G8, which is already explored and safe. He deals 1.5 damage to the tower on I8. By their the combined damage, the tower is destroyed before it can fire.
Makes-it-go-boom flies to H5, which is already explored and safe. He deals 1 damage to the building on K2. It looks very damaged now.
Pats-Asteroids flies to G7, which is already explored and safe. He deals 1.5 damage to the tower on I8. By their the combined damage, the tower is destroyed before it can fire.

Spec ops 1 flies to H4, which is already explored and safe.
Spec ops 2 flies to H6, which is already explored and safe. He deals 4 damage to the tower on I8. By their the combined damage, the tower is destroyed before it can fire. He escapes the range of both towers L7 and K9.
Spec ops 3 awakes in the cloning tank. He should decided where he wants to be redeployed.
Spec ops 4 flies to H7, which is already explored and safe.

Comes-too-late repairs (and if I can shoot while repairing: fire at barracks on J1).

You write that SO4 is on G6, but I see no-one on G6...
Also SO 4 fires on H9, just as Ka, but Ka'a Splaat fires on tower I8....
Could you please clarify what SO4 really did and where he is? Thank you!

SO1 (H4): move I3, shoot K2
SO2 (H6): repairs
SO3 (teleporter room): teleports in on I2 and fires on K2.
[edit]SO4 (G6 ?): waiting for clarification from GM (Nerre)
SO4 (H7): moves to G6 (to stay out of the way with it's short range). [/edit]

I am currently in the peak of the pre-wedding-party stress (we already are married, but the big celebration is only a few days ahead), so please do not be surprised if I currently cannot update in the speed you are used too. I might be able to update one game now and then though.
