--Attack Round--

Round Twelve. Ready? Go!

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- As the Defender stepped over the ruined remains of the Thunderbolt it fired off its SRM-6 and four Machine Guns towards the fleeing Wasp. The SRM's doe 6 points of damage to the Rear Left Torso of the Wasp and a Machine Gun puts a few holes in the Rear Right Torso. Huma, not wanting the Wasp to escape, fires off its pair of Med. Lasers, scoring a hit to the Rear Center Torso. The Battlemaster is in no position to fire any of its weapons.

Psyonic -- Dino's Wasp is running as fast as it can go to get away from the heavier enemy Mechs. Buckeye, at point blank range, fire's his weapons on the enemy Battlemaster, exploding it with flash of light and heat. (Bout f'ing time.)

Round Thirteen. Ready? Go! (I'm starting to suspect that the dice my brother is using are weighted.

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- The Rifleman is too far behind to attack the still fleeing Wasp, so it's up to the Defender to get in one last attack before reinforcements come. Not really expecting a hit, the Defender fires off its Large Laser, and watches as the Wasp stumbles then explodes, much in the same manner of the Locust many turns ago.  The pilot of the Defender smiles. (ASDF!)

Psyonic -- Buckeye was on a ledge overlooking the incoming Wasp when it exploded. He powered up his PPC and fired it towards the Defender but missed, in a frustrated cry he began to maneuver his Mech down the ledge. The Marauder did the same thing, firing off a PPC and an Auto Cannon but also missing.

Round Fourteen. Ready? Go! (I managed to grab the dice my brother was using and rolled it, 6. I rolled it a few more times and yep. Still 6.)

Psyonic wins the Initiative. Stim moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Psyonic - The Battlemaster fires its SRM-2 at the Defender but the missiles lost their target. But the PPC and Med. Laser need no such targeting systems and hit the Defender, the PPC severly damaged the Center Torso while the Laser scorched the Left Arm. The Marauder, fires its powerful PPC into the Right Leg and managed to knock the Defender over causing an extra 3 points of damage!

Stim -- The Rifleman and the Defender are both out of range to attack. Stim did managed to get his Mech back up though.

Round Fifteen. Ready? Go!

Psyonic wins the Initiative. Stim moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Psyonic --The Marauder fires its Auto Cannon at the Defender hitting the Right Torso while the two Med. Lasers both hit the Right Arm. The Battlemaster fires off two Machine Guns, which miss, an SRM-6, which does 6 points of damage to the Right Army causing a Critical Hit on the Shoulder, and two Med. Lasers, which only one hits the Right Leg. (Woohoo! I'm gonna win.)

Stim - Stim returns fire on the Marauder shooting all of its Machine Guns, which miss. A Med. Laser that hits the Left Arm and the SRM-6 which does 8 points of damage to the Center Torso, going internal and getting Critical Hits on two Engines located there, skyrocketing the Marauder's heat +10. (AHH!!!) While the Rifleman scores two hits of it's own with its Med. Lasers on the Left Torso and Left Arm.

Round Sixteen. Ready? Go!

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- The Defender keeps up the assault on the Marauder by firing it's four Machine Guns, two Med. Lasers, and it's SRM-6. Two MG's hit the Left Torso and Left Arm while the SRM does 8 points of damage to the Left Leg. The Rifleman only hits with one of its Med. Lasers to the Right Arm.

Psyonic -- The Marauder returns fire on the Rifleman, only hitting with a Med. Laser to the Center Torso. Buckeye fires his two Machine Guns, which hit the Right Torso and Right Leg. The heavier hitting Med. Lasers hit the Center Torso and Right Torso, getting a Critical Hit and destroying an Engine. While the SRM-6 does 8 points of damage to the Left Arm.

Round Seventeen. Ready? Go!

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- The Rifleman charges the Marauder suddenly in a quick sprint and rams it, sending it toppling though the forest, dealing 12 damage while taking 6. The Defender also charges the Battlemaster but stops short of ramming it and opens fire with its four Machine Guns, a Med. Laser, and it's SRM-6. Two of the Machine Guns hit the Left Torso while another hits the Left Arm. The Laser goes wide as the SRM does 8 damage to the Right Leg.

Psyonic -- The Marauder, having taking such a heavy blow, fires a single Med. Laser from where it's laying at the Defender, missing. The Battlemaster however feels that the Defender has no clue what firepower it's packing and reminds him by firing two Machine Guns, two Med. Lasers and an SRM-6. The MG's hit the Center Torso and Right Arm as the Lasers hit the Left and Center Torso. Then the SRM sails in doing 8 points of damage to the Right Arm. (I still can't believe that I missed my piloting roll for my Marauder.)

Round Eighteen. Ready? Go!

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- The Rifleman, thinking that it has the upper hand, fire's a Med. Laser at the raising Mech, scoring a hit to the Left Arm. Stim's Defender, reminds the Battlemaster that he has more Machine Guns and puts them to use. The four Machine Guns deal damage all across the front of the Battlemaster's Torso while the SRM-6 slams into the Right Torso for 8 damage.

Psyonic - Psyonic's Marauder is starting to feel the strain of damage to its structure but Psyonic pushes it on anyway, firing an Auto Cannon and Med. Laser at the Rifleman. While the Auto Cannon blasts past the Mech the Laser hits the Right Torso. Buckeye, shaking his head at the fledgling Defender, reminds the pilot who has the most working systems and weaponry by firing with its two Machine Guns, two Med. Lasers, and the SRM-6. The MG's hit the Right Leg while the Lasers hit the Right Torso and Head of the Defender, the Pilot manages to stay conscious to watch as the SRM's slam into his Right Torso for 8 points of damage. (Kleck! Take that! I own!)

Round Nineteen. Ready? Go!

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- Huma's Rifleman fires another Med. Laser at the Marauder but horribly misses. The Defender continues it's duel of death with the Battlemaster and fires it's four MG's and SRM-6. Only one Machine Gun hits the Right Torso and the SRM's only do 8 damage to the still mostly armored Center Torso.

Psyonic -- The Marauder returns fire with a Med. Laser, scoring a hit on the Right Leg on the Rifleman.

Meanwhile Buckeye is feeling pretty confident that he'll have this bug squashed in only a matter of moments as his next barrage of weaponry hit the Defender. (Aka two MG's, two Med. Lasers, and the SRM-6 does 8 damage. But they all hit very different areas of the Mech not causing enough damage to be written.)

Round Twenty. Ready? Go!

Psyonic wins the Initiative. Stim moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Psyonic -- Psyonic only fires a Med. Laser at the Defender hitting the Left Leg. Buckeye again hits the Defender with everything it has, scoring a Critical Hit on the Center Torso and destroying another Engine!

Stim - Again the Rifleman misses with its Med. Laser at the Marauder. Stim's Defender was in bad shape. It didn't have enough Heat Sinks left to stop the +10 heat that occurred every turn. It was only a matter of time (two rounds) before the Mech spontaneously combusted. So Stim decided that if he was going down. He was taking somebody with him. He opened fire with a Med. Laser and SRM-6. The Laser struck the Right Torso while the SRM did 8 points of damage to the Left Arm. Then he realized that his four Machine Guns take up no heat and fired those off too, having two of them strike the Center Torso.

Round Twenty-One. Ready? Go!

Stim wins the Initiative. Psyonic moves first.

--Movement Round--

--Attack Round--

Stim -- Huma, realizing that the targeting computer was malfunctioning, switched the weapons over to manual control and finally scored a hit on the Marauder's Center Torso with a Med. Laser. The Defender has enough heat to stay alive and only fires it's Machine Guns. Only two hit though on the Right Arm and Center Torso of the Marauder.

Psyonic -- The Marauder and Battlemaster focused their firepower on the Defender, raising the heat level of the Mech and blowing it sky-high. The remaining pilots felt the heat from the exploding Mech as the shock wave rolled over them.

The Rifleman, while not closest to the explosion, watched as his heat meter tripled, causing his own Mech to go Nova. The explosion from the Rifleman also caused the Marauder to overload and go Nova. (Killing me..D'oh!)

Buckeye's Battlemaster is the sole remaining Mech on the field. This battle goes to the Smurf Lance!
