Everything but the Kitchen Sink
An insane exchange kicks off this round, with the Kobold, Black Widow, Dragoon, and a couple
of ground troopers, firing insane amounts of weaponry at Colonel Sanders and the Cadillac, in
an attempt to bring it down. With 10d6 skill, Colonel Sanders, who is a Jedi, can do an insane
amount of deflecting. Thus, the Kobold opens up with all of his weapons, including all 18 missiles.
The Black Widow and Dragoon follow as well. A total of 25 or so attacks are launched, and the
first 19 are parried successfully by the Colonel. Eventually, however, enough missiles land to
destroy the vehicle. The Colonel leaps free, as does the ninja. The ninja grabs the medik, who
was driving the car, as he jumped out, and all three landed safely. Both mechanik droids in the
car were destroyed, however.
Meanwhile, back on the left flank, the medik and mechanik, as well as handful of troopers, dodge
sniper fire coming from the wreckage of the White Death. The mechanik succeeds at reattaching the
engine of the Blitz, giving it life once again. The medik fails miserably on his attempt to bring
Sam back to life. Queen Dominique, sensing the loss of one of her heroes, attempts to leap to
his aid and play doctor herself, but her Queen's Guard use their jedi mind powers to convince
her to not leave the battle after she fails her first stupendous feat. Sam is thus lost to us,
but Max is still alive and kicking and hanging around amongst the rubble of the Rampage.

Wanting to get rid of that pesky champion, the Kobold, Black Widow, and Dragoon once again turn
their attention to blowing him to smithereens. After a great deal of shooting, a shot finally
landed on him, or so the Federation thought. A quick Jedi Mind Trick and suddently the Colonel
was standing 10 feet away, and three mecha were left looking at a smoking crater where a ninja
used to stand. The EllerDrachen ninja was, of course, attempting to sneak up on the Colonel, and failing
miserably. Meanwhile, the Axis ninja snuck up underneath the Dragoon.
The Blitz is together long enough to kill a sniper, before it's blown up again. That's three
times in 2 battles that this poor little tank has been destroyed.

The roving death squad finally reaches the sniper hiding behind the rock formation. The poor
Axis trooper is outgunned, but goes down valiantly, taking an EllerDrachen trooper with him.
Unfortunately for another ED trooper, he crit-failed both of his damage rolls, and in a fit of
embarrasment leapt into the wreckage of the Scorpion, curled up into the fetal position, and
whimpered quietly to himself.
Meanwhile, another platoon of troopers on the left flank finishes up the rest of the snipers
hiding in the rubble of the White Death.
Back on the right flank, the Pizza Girl finds herself in a predicament.
Because she used up all her stupendous feats attempting to blow up the Kobold during an opportunity
fire attack phase, the Pizza Girl is unable to dodge an attack that comes her way and she's blasted
into tiny little itty bity pieces by the Kobold's MK3 lasers.
Colonel Sanders then attempts to use his stupendous feat to grab her death gun to use it himself,
but he fails and succeeds only in ripping the gun in half.
So, looking for an easy kill, the ninja and Colonel Sanders slide up underneath the Dragoon and do
cumulative vehicle damage. Unfortunately for them, they slice through a vital power coupling. The
ninja's katana then glances across a piece of steel and makes a spark, creating a huge fireball
explosion. Since the Colonel has no more stupendous feats (he used it
to try and grab the gun), the ninja attempts to use his to pull them both away from the explosion.
It fails, and both are killed. At this point, the Axis is outgunned and outmanned, and all of
their heroes, champions, jedi, and ninja are dead. Gino then concedes to Adrian and the battle
is over.

So what did we learn from this battle? First, if not played correctly, Jedi and champions are
certainly not worth the cost. Second, it may well be that a bunch of cheap troops will triumph
over a smaller force of more expensive, more powerful vehicles. Third, 3 straight days of
BrikWars can sap the energy of almost anybody. Either way, an enormous 2500 CP battle is
certainly an interesting adventure.
