Marlon is lucky enough to be able to have gotten out of the way of the blasts as the grenades tear up the ground below you.

Gundam Watcher 27 is up, and you need to be sure you want to dump 12 missiles at the 6 that were targeted at you earlier.

Can you please give me a d100 roll?

Can you please give me a d100 roll?

Yes

 

[Psychie]

Ryuko's single missile flies out and destroys one of the six missiles launched at you, but the other five survive the explosion and they slam into your Ajax, and you take a total of 160 MD.

Gundam Watcher 27 you have your action still to perform.

Ryuko's eyes widened, before having her Ajax bring both arms up to shield the cockpit.

Spoiler: Damage Details

Arm [L]: 20
Arm [R]: 20

She quickly checked the damage on her maintenance screen, and it was not good. The arms were nearly at the breaking point, and if just one more barrage like that hit......

The Ajax would move back, before taking aim at the MPA closest to it with the Ion Pulse Weapon Pod, before firing.

 

[Psychie]

Give me a d20 for a to hit, and add a damage roll with it.

(Sorry for the extra die roll)

 

[Psychie]

Unfortunately, your aim was a bit off, and the enemy was able to evade out of the way.

Neo raises up her mecha's Eu-11 and fires a burst at MPA 4, scoring a hit and doing light damage.

Despite its damage, Tomahawk 1 is still in the fight, and it fires off a burst from its waist-mounted autocannons at Light Artillery Pod 3, but only does light damage

In return, they both fire on the Tomahawk, making its already damaged armor a smoking wreck.

Comanchero 2 spins about and fires a volley of five short range missiles at the damaged MPA 4, slipping the missiles past its chaff defense and blots it from the sky.

The number of enemy mecha is going down, but there are still many there.

[Sherwood]

Deunan maneuvers her hover tank to provide cover for the now smoking Tomahawk. She yells out on the radio, "Get back and find something to shield you. I'll cover you!" To help punctuate her point, she fires a burst from her Eu-11 at the damaged Light Artillery Pod.

Deunan manages to score a hit on the Artillery Pod, melting away some of its armor. It is still up on its feet, though.

MPA 5 sees the damage on the Tomahawk, and fires at it with the grenade launcher. Sherwood if you want, you can try to take the hit for the Tomahawk. Give me a Parry roll.

You jump up to take the blast, but you don't succeed on using your shield, but you do save the Tomahawk from destruction. You do take 70 MDC to your main body.

Landing, Marlon could hear the debris from the grenade volley impact harmlessly on his mecha. That was cutting things close. And now with the Tomahawk hit that hard, things were even more close. Thank goodness Duenan was able to step in. But she was starting to get rather beat up herself. Would have to keep an eye on her.

Raising his gunpod, Marlon fired off a burst of the EU-11 at the MPA.

Gabi "Chrome Shaman" De la Rosa
Tac Corp Special Forces Recon Patrol​

Spoiler: Payload and Combat Details

VHT-10A Ajax mode: Battloid.

Missile Payload:
30/30 HEAP Mini-missiles: 1D4x10 M.D., 1 mile range, 3 foot radius, 2 M.D.C.
10/10 Plasma/Napalm (medium) Short-range missiles: 2D6x10 M.D., 3 mile range, 15 foot radius, 5 M.D.C.

Gabi looked about at the blasted rows of earth laid waste by the Asgardian's thunder, the burning mega-damage fires that wreaked havoc upon the trees and greenery that were so lovely before, and the shattered remains of the female power armor that had died without a sound. Hell had come to Earth. She was glad she had thought up the strategy she was using, for she could say with absolute certainty that the destruction of these enemies had lessened the casualties so far endured by the Army of Southern Cross and Robotech Defense Forces. Yet, there was still more to be done. Her latina blood was still hot with adrenaline as she came back to the Asgardians. "That's sixteen bogies down, Asgardians; you are laying it right on the money. Requesting missile strike against male power armor at these coordinates. Any medevac forces monitoring this channel? We have friendly pilots down."

Gabi cringed when Ryuko's Ajax took the five-pack of missiles. Then in typical Gabi style, she verbally went off on her beloved squadmate. "Ay carajo! ("Oh, dammit!") Use your chaff and flares next time, chica! I swear to God, if you go and die and make me lose another Jungle Rat, I'm coming right up to Heaven, knocking on God's door, and kicking your ass right in front of Him! You watch me! I'll do it!" This, of course, came with Gabi's solid implication that, at least in her mind, Ryuko was definitely going to Heaven when it was Ryuko's time.

Then a sudden thought struck her. What the hell were the two Comanchero Gunship helicopters, two Defender and two Tomahawk Destroids in their convoy doing all this time?

Gabi spun her drone back in their direction and zoomed in on their position. If the convoy were hidden away in the jungle as she had recommended earlier, she would deliver the following message to the convoy commander. "Hey, you guys! Our people are really getting pounded down there! You wanna be amigos to our people and let me direct your fire?" Gabi sent targeting data and firing solutions via her VHT-10A's hub to the convoy. She added with steel in her voice. "If anybody gives you any guff about it, you can tell them this Recon Patrol sergeant is taking full responsibility for it."

Spoiler: Psychie

Hey you! Re: In-game data. Gabi is requesting the following in-game fire support to the Asgardians and convoy.
Asgardians - Missile strike vs. MPA 6.
Convoy Tomahawk 1 and Defender 1 vs. MPA 7.
Convoy Tomahawk 2 and Defender 2 vs. MPA 8.
Convoy Comancheros 1 vs. Light Artillery Pod 3.
Convoy Comancheros 2 vs. Light Artillery Pod 4.

Then again, if the convoy hadn't moved an inch since the fighting started, her message would be worded quite a bit differently. The last thing Gabi was in the mood to deal with were a bunch of pilots hanging out on their damned smartphones swapping pics and girlie videos while their fellow ASC and RDF guys and gals were literally making the ultimate sacrifice just a handful of miles away. Oh yes. Her message would be quite different indeed. Along with her use of toe-popper mines. Yes, some people might be missing toes later if this were the case, because for decades Special Forces soldiers had rather creative imaginations and the means to provide proper payback. The combination's result? Everyone knew you didn't need your toes to pilot a mech. Nor would you be sent back behind the lines for a safe career. You would just look down at your feet and remember that you should have been there for your fellow soldiers instead of playing Pokemon Go or whatever.

At least, that was Gabi's way of thinking.

Spoiler

The two Comanchero Gunships and Tomahawk 3 and 4 are all a part of the convoy, leaving the two Defenders to come up from the rear with the trucks. Remember, it hasn't even been 15 seconds in this fight!

By now, the convoy has moved in close enough for the airburst shells of the Defenders to be able to successfully engage without having to shoot through the intervening trees to do so. The two mecha coordinate their fire to be able to engage MPA 6-10, rattling the cages of all five of the airborne enemy mecha and punching some holes in their armor.

The radio then crackles on the 'all hands' frequency. "This is Striker Lead, with five pilots in formation behind me that are very upset that you started this party without inviting us. Here comes some steel rain." From overhead, there is a massive sonic boom as six F-203 Dragon fixed wing aircraft come tearing in, each one targeting a separate Male Powered Armor with four medium range fragmentary missiles.

The sudden arrival of the jets catches the Zentraedi off guard, and they manage to blast four of the six targets out of the air! With a slow drawl, the lead pilot of the Strikers says, "Hope that helps even the odds a bit down there. We need to return to station keeping with our Tiger Eye. Good luck!"

Gabi whooped inside her cockpit. That made twenty of their foes down thanks to the use of emergency channel. The Jungle Rats had been well-avenged right before her eyes! "Striker Lead, I see four more bogies out of the picture. Assistance appreciated!" Seeing them fly off into the sky as suddenly as they came made her proud. They heard the call and answered! Muy bien! ("Very good!") she thought. God bless our airpower!

As for the convoy, Gabi smiled as they engaged the enemy. She would not relax until the battle, one way or another, was done and the wounded and dead (if there were any dead) collected. She fought on.

 

[Rykon]

Alan shifts to transport mode as he leaps out of the vehicle to tend to the man with the severely broken leg. Given Alan's lifting strength he'd heave the man by his parachute straps in one hand and ease him to the ground. Taking his knife, he quickly rent the straps from the pack for use in a splint. He shouted to the other pilot. "I need limbs for a splint now soldier." Once the man had turned, Alan placed the straps in the patient's mouth. "Bite hard, this is going to hurt." Then, he realigned the man's leg with a wet gruesome pop.

 

[Psychie]

Gabi can see one of the aircraft waggle its wings as the six jets soar back up into the sky. "Yer welcome, there, little lady! Always glad to be of service!"

As Alan jumps down and begins his evaluation of the injured man, you can see that he's not all the way awake, which is probably a good thing considering his busted up leg. With the help of the other crewman, the two of you manage to get the injured fellow unstrapped and hoisted up. He lets out one anguished scream of pain before he passes out, making it a little easier for you to splint his leg.

From out of the slagged hole in the wall of Anton-17, a pair of suicidal corpsmen come driving out in a hover car at breakneck speeds right towards you. Lucky for them, the Zentraedi are too busy with other targets to worry too much about them as they skid to a stop next to Alan's Spartas.

"Damn. These Zentraedi just aren't letting up!" Ryuko told herself. Of course, there was gunfire her Ajax evaded, but occasionally one shot would connect.
If anything helped much, a tactical strike managed to blast a majority of them off the field. That gave her hope, before the Ajax would go in to engage one of the damaged MPA in CQC.
