If this mobile frame is the only mobile frame within hand to hand range of

a station, it seizes it. Mark it as yours. The opponent you seized it from loses points for it, and you gain points for it, so both of you recalculate your tactical turn order now.

and around corners. (1G)

The end of Doomsday -11. Sebastian’s defensive plan is to cede his central station to Joshua, then let Joshua

and Vincent fight for the lead                                          V3

while he moves to take one

of Joshua’s stations back.

 

Joshua intends to press on Sebastian until Sebastian has to turn to face Vincent,

then take Sebastian’s last                                             V1

station while he’s facing

Vincent.

 

Vincent slyly intends to let Joshua take Sebastian, giving Vincent the lead. He hopes that Sebastian and Joshua will damage each other enough to pose less of a threat and be unable to catch up to him after

Example Round

It’ç the firçt round of the batt¦e between the UMFL company E s t a r ’ s A n v i l, fie¦ded by Joshua, the Free Co¦ony company Su n ’ s F a n g, fie¦ded by V i n ce n t, and the Ijad company P i e r c i n g E y e, fie¦ded by Sebastian.

The round begins in tactical order, as always. Sebastian has the highest score, so he has the tactical initiative. His choice is to take one of his mobile frames’ turns

or to pass to Vincent, who has the second highest score.

He chooses one of his forward mobile frames to take its turn.

 

The Ijad “stingbeam” pulse laser makes use of Ijad optical technologies to deliver four pulses of light 30% more powerful per joule than any SU laser technolgy. Because this allows them to be small for their output, Ijad engineers usually mount them to a swivel on top of Scrambler frames, giving them a wide field of attack. (2Rd)

be there later if he still wants it. Instead of taking his third mobile frame’s turn, he passes. Vincent has the second

highest score, so now it’s his choice: choose a mobile frame to take its turn, or pass too? He chooses to have one of his rear heavy artillery mobile frames go.

Sebastian’s mobile frame #4 attacks Joshua’s mobile frame #1. Since it already has a defense number, we don’t switch to combat order. Sebastian’s mobile frame hitç it hard for 4 damage dice, fa¦¦ç back slightly, and ends its turn.

We’re still in tactical order, but all of Sebastian’s mobile frames have taken their turns, so Vincent’s up. He chooses hiç mobi¦e frame #2 to attack Joçhua’ç mobi¦e frame #3. We need to know itç defense in order to resolve the attack, so we switch to combat order.
