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.

A powerful mech, made even moreso witha Jedi pilot
That's the end for the Caddy
One success, one failure
Snipers in the rubble
On the hunt for more snipers

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.

Don't we look silly
Hiding in plain sight
The Blitz gets blasted again
A roving death squad
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.

A sniper vs. 3 troopers isn't good odds
A pathetic shot indeed

CC weapons + explosions = bad things
The final battlefield
Another view of the end
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. Gino's survivors
