The Redshirt Army
« on: October 04, 2012, 04:24:41 pm »
The year is... uh... let's just ballpark it ar 2500. In 2100, the Terra Firma Alliance establisted intergalactual dominance, but that was quickly ruined by the assassination of the President, John Doe. The Alliance fragmented, splitting into several alliances of its own right. And in true feudalism style, they all declared war on each other. In 2250, Cloning was perfected-endless swarm of clones-or "Redshirts"-could be used instead of people with families. However, they are all very much under equipped. VERY much so.

You are a Redshirt.

Your job is to land on a planet with the Redshirt Spawner, take said planet and move on. Your weapons... are limited. So is the spawner-it only has 500 Redshirt in production. But you can overcome all odds. You. Are. Redshirts.

Your first mission is at Isola-the RED army (you) want to take the mining outpost from the YEL forces. They have 200 Shirts, and low defences. The Captain (The first person to post) will recieve a Grenade Launcher, everyone else will be armed with Standard Rifles. Your ship lands in the desert 1km off the base itself: what do you do?

((Basically, large scale deathmatch because why not.))

BATTLE FOR ISOLA
RED: 500 Vs 200 :YEL

Spinal I fires off a few rounds towards the base! [2] They all hit the sand before the base.

Captain Green I fires the grenades skywards! [6] The wind catches them, and they arc towards the YEL base! They explode on contact, taking out the two men stationed on the wall and another behind it! Unfortunately, there's now a big hole where the wall used to be... and there are already YEL troops lining up their shots!

Errol I dives for cover! [1] He decides the YEL base is good cover. He starts running towards it, making him a good target...

Caerwyn I scouts the area! [6] He finds the sewer entrance-it will most likely lead to the midst of combat but it looks horrifically dangerous...

YEL Actions: [3+2]

YEL I, stationed on the wall, spots Errol I and shoots! [5] Headshot! Errol I is the first casualty of the RED army!

YEL II, on the opposite side of the blast of the wall, tries to take out the captain! [2] The bullets barely even clear the barrel.

YEL III, from inside the base walls, tries to get atop them to achieve a better angle! [2] He can't find any stairs...

YEL IV, also inside, uses the new hole to take a potshot at the Captain! [3] The bullets come close but lack the finality to kill.

YEL V follows in YEL IV's actions and attempts to neutralise the Captain! [6] A bullet flies straight into Green I's brain, but his finger retracts, causing the Grenade Launcher to deploy its payload... which hits YEL V right in the face, and catches YEL IV in the blast! There is now a grenade laucher for the taking.

RED: 498 vs 195 :YEL

((Also instant respawns))

I'll join.
Do you mean "galactic dominance" or "intergalactic dominance," as in multiple galaxies, because if the latter holy carp that's a lot of FTL.

Locate unoccupied vehicle, artillery, or heavy weapon. Commandeer it. If none are available, locate one occupied by an enemy, kill him/her, and THEN commandeer it.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.
