7 hours ago, P-47 Thunderbolt said:@EliasWindrider , should I handle the gunships now?
How many new clone troops are we introducing? If a full platoon plus the other half of Poe/Raven's platoon, that's 2 lieutenants, 6 sergeants, and 48 troopers for a total of 56 clones plus two Jedi and an overgrown kitty.
Sure
Going to handle the gunships now, acting once at the end of round two rather than rolling initiative.
I'm treating all the gunners as minions, applying Gunnery as a group skill.

Pass on a Boost. So much for one-shotting a minion group.

You have got to be kidding me. Good grief . Passes on 3 Boost to the door gunners. With 1 Success there, we're talking twenty damage each, with four hits.
Door Gunners:
Maneuver: Aim
Action: Auto-Fire vs. B1s:
Auto-Fire
:
1eP+2eA+4eB+2eD

18 damage with Pierce 2, so 18-4=14 damage, taking out two and nearly a third. 2 Advantage for a hit on a group of B1s, taking out 3, and 2 Advantage for a second hit on the group, eliminating them. Passes on a Boost with the Advantage.
It'll only take 8 wounds to eliminate the remaining B2s,
@MrTInce
,
@SuperWookie
. Easy for a Lightsaber-wielder.
Ugh, I was really hoping (and honestly, expecting) that the gunships would eliminate all the droids (or practically all, leaving some for the PCs to mop up) so I wouldn't have to roll for all the clones.
Oh, I forgot the LAAT/c with the AT-TE.

It's enough. 60 is greater than 30, so bye-bye B1s.

Initiative order:
@MrTInce , you can take Camo's slot if you want, so that the newly-landed Jedi get to act instantly and together.
Nice to see their arrival!
I've posted Mireska's turn for Slot 1 of Round 3.
She ended up in the south-eastern courtyard after Force Leaping the wall. Her original aim was for where she saw Jorin land, but I'm not sure if a), she can pinpoint the location, and b), Jorin is still there.
On a related note, do mirialans bleed red or green?
For that matter, what about the other "chromatic human" species, like pantorans, chiss, and the various colours of zeltrons?
Or twi'leks (who also come in various colours) and togruta?
Unless otherwise stated, I'd guess red. Humans don't bleed their skin color, and I don't think other meatbags would either. Duros bleed green, but they aren't classified as "near-humans" I don't think.
I'll edit the map to reflect Mireska leaping to Medium range. She isn't able to reach Jorin this round.
Most oxygenated species should bleed red. All of the near-human ones should, at least, unless EU sources dictate otherwise.
When we land, are there any debris Chee'Okee could lift and provide a wall of cover with?

Devaronians have silver based blood and bleed black on their red skin.
Ker'see is happy to wait her turn as she will be sniping from the LAAT before heading in.

I narrated the flak cannon blasting a hole in the wall on the right, so I believe there would be.
Camouflage:
Incidental: Aim
Maneuver: Aim
Action: Shoot at B1j (Clanker Killer 2 for 2a):
Shooting at the B1s
:
3eP+1eA+2eB+1eD
4 successes, 4 advantage
4 Success, 6 Advantage, and FaB 2. First hit is 17 damage and an auto crit, for 2 Advantage a second is 14 damage for 28 wounds. Not enough to take them all out, unfortunately.
He'll take Tactical Advance incidental for 2 Strain, then a second Maneuver for 2 Strain to move out into the open, trying to draw fire (Tactical Evasion).
3 Advantage for +1 Ranged Defense, bringing him up to 3. 1 Advantage to recover a Strain, and FaB 2 to pass a Boost to Varactyl Squad.
Result: B1j loses 5 droids and takes 3 wounds, Varactyl Squad gets a Boost, Tactical Advance is still active, and Camouflage gets both Ranged Defense +1(3) and attacks against him are upgraded once.
I'll go ahead and have Varactyl Squad go so that we keep the two close together since it doesn't actually affect the order.
Varactyl Squad:
Maneuver: Aim
Action: Auto-Fire vs. B1b:
Auto-Fire
:
3eP+1eA+2eB+2eD
3 successes, 2 advantage
That's 12 damage with Pierce 1, first hit is on B1b for an auto-crit and a total of 14 wounds, second for 2 Advantage eliminates B1j.
Result: B1b loses 2 droids and takes 5 wounds, B1j is eliminated.
@RuusMarev , in the IC, I set up Jorin to come to the "rescue" if you so desire, whether that's with the B1s or the Supervisor.
@SuperWookie , you're up!
Map is updated, here's the link for quick reference.
Are the latecomers on that map yet? Ker'see will be sniping, but Chee'Okee needs to be a bit closer. If we are still not landing, skip me for now I guess.
Just now, SuperWookie said:Are the latecomers on that map yet? Ker'see will be sniping, but Chee'Okee needs to be a bit closer. If we are still not landing, skip me for now I guess.
They are both on the deck, but since they go near the top of the round I didn't bother listing them on the map (also spatial reasons).
You're technically still on the LAATs, but ready to disembark at will. You'll be at the same place as all the clones, Short range from all of the droids.
What's the strongest looking group?

B1f, at Medium range, still has 6 members. The B2s are almost down and the Supervisor isn't worth your time at the moment.
Question: Could Jorin use the Force to Move his saber into a Saber Throw? (since he is currently disarmed?)
Just now, RuusMarev said:Question: Could Jorin use the Force to Move his saber into a Saber Throw? (since he is currently disarmed?)
He could just spend a Maneuver to pick it up.

That would probably be a Move power (action*) to pick up the 'sabre and a Sabre Throw (action) to attack with it in that manner.
* Unless you have a nifty ability which allows you to use a Force power as a manoeuvre. (Hint: there's a talent on the Master tree.

I'll have to loo at that..

It costs 2 Strain to use and can only be used 1/session (which in our case is usually 1/planet).

Who's up next in the Initiative order?
Is it Chee'Okee and Ker'see?

@SuperWookie /Chee'Okee, then Poe and Raven, and then @MrTInce /Ker'see.
The battle seems to be well in hand, would it be a waste for my to make a Knowledge (Warfare) check to see if I can offer any strategic advice (as the character)? Otherwise I might simply buff up and Commit Sense on Chee'Okee in order to upgrade attacks against her, and then spend my second action to draw her lightsaber. I wouldn't be the first one to step out of the LAAT without taking a look at the battlefield as the clones exit.
