"Wa- well of course I enjoy it! It's two awesome mecha fighting each other!"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"あなたはあまりにも多くを見てきたスーパー戦隊シリーズあなたがいない？"

[evilcherry]

Doctor Green to bridge, the Omega is finishing final launch preparations. Requesting weather, surroundings and max allowed collateral damage parameters. Any available data on the enemy would be appreciated.

"Ceratinly. We are approaching 21-48, which is a valley of fields and industrial silos, lying North-south just south of the DMZ. A column of tanks are approaching the area, which consists of at least 4 Chonma-hos and 4 Pukpung-hos. The Koreans fear that an incursion there would lead to a large tank contingent invading through, so our help is needed there while the Korean army organizes defensive lines. They have advised that the area is being evacuated, but otherwise just do not cause wanton destruction," answered the CIC officer.
"Wait," interrupted the Helmsman. "The Nagato should be enough to dispatch this!" He yelled as he punched through a glass panel for a large blue button underneath. "Otonashi Cannon, charge!"

A deafening silence fills the bridge, as the lights dimmed for the charge.
"オトナシカノン、チャージします。" Said an electric voice, eerily similarly to Ruri's.
"バカ"
"5%... 10%.... 15%... 15%... 0%."
"何これ？"
"チャージ失敗します。メインエンジンの緊急停止システムが開始した、リセット後に再起動を待ってください。"
"So what the hell is happening here?"
"Loss of engine power. The Otonashi Cannon was not ready yet. Pilots, You are dumped down from here. Brace for a crash landing."

((I want to test whether you guys are good enough for these 8 tanks here without the Otonashi, so I guess I have to do this.))

You have little knowledge of the Tanks other than that they got a Tank gun.
Lets see how things pan out.

"This should be some good exercise. Ruri Out." said Ruri, with a - hardly seen - smile.

Turn 1.

((Whats the Ap cost for flight? 1 per hex? 1 per 2?))

"Icarus engaging southwest pukpong-ho tank division, firing particle bursts in 3... 2... 1..."

fly to 10.18, hide in front of the sun and fire my pistols, one shot at each tank.

((Also im swapping my pilots speech from green to maroon.

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Woo-woo!"

Move to 11.19, and fire on P1 with the EAB-Cannon.

((Whoops. Meant 19, not 9))

[evilcherry]

((1 per 1, for now.))

"Woo-woo!"

Move to 11.9, and fire on P1 with the EAB-Cannon.

"No, Victor! That's too far away!" Exclaimed by probably one of the EAB's leaders.

((Please check your coordinates))

"Alright, let's move out."

((Orders vague because I can't find the useful data on the spreadsheet.))

Head north, shoot at the nearest tanks.

[evilcherry]

((not-so-minor tweak: GWG's perk now only gives 0.5AP penalty (rounded down) per hex transversed. Feel that original penalty is too harsh.))
((I didn't rotate Icons because I were lazy, and unless you moved I see no absolute need to. either.))

======================

"Incoming Narrow-Spread Transmission! From P'yongyang!" Exclaimed the CIC Officer.
"Translations" Replied Ruri.
"Damn. That dead man again!"
"...I expected you, Earth Defense Mecha Forces. Nothing escapes the Great Leader! Today, the prowess of Juche engineering is unleashed! Tanks! Transform!"
"What?"

The tanks has stopped progressing, and changed into a much more mobile form within mere seconds.
The Pukpung-hos has changed into a vaguely humanoid shape, with a pair of very sharp teeth on its jaws, and the tank's cannon on its right hand.
The Chonma-hos, meanwhile, has its tracks transformed something resembling legs, and the tank cannon is now mounted way higher than it should, looking like a horse's head. They must have some sufficiently high-tech equipment as they are now seen hovering above the battlefield, without using wings.

"For Great Leader! For Juche!"
"Dammit! Now we are fighting something like this! If we can move the Nagato..."[/spoiler]
"Daisa! We got updated transmission on the Korean Mecha's capabilities!"
"Distribute.

Turn 1- Enemy Phase
((Map and part two of turn Later, may be day after tomorrow as I forgot the file somewhere else, and my brain is already f__ked up. Please ask for Questions.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I was referring to the bridge icons.))

"···タンクの変換？愚かな韓国人。"
(The above comment based on a sort of rivalry between Japanese and Korean people I remember reading about and does not reflect my actual views on Koreans.)

Continue to advance and fire. Ideally at something that isn't destroyed, this time.

[evilcherry]

((Finally I got things straight. Hope I get this better.))
((Tailspin checks are pretty easy: just throw a D20 and check against your current save; Larger or equal means you succeed the check and manage to control your flight. If you got into a tailspin, however, your save will be reduced by the incoming damage that caused the tailspin for the remainder of the turn.))

Enemy Moves!
((Enemy do not roll init. Rather their turn order is GM-weaved.))

Meanwhile, on the deck of the Nagato...

"Report." Asked Ruri, in her trademark emotionless voice.
"Not good. The Icarus and the King is pretty battered!" reported the CIC.
"Tell them to restrain a bit keep behind cover of the heavier units. From their spec sheets they are not going to take much more damage."
"Good News! Daisa!" exclaimed the helmsman. "The Nagato is responding!"
"All hands. Support the battle."

---GM Banter---

Not-so-minor rule addenum for next turn:
Buildings give +2 save. Flyers obviously do not benefit. Land if you wish.
Landing or Taking flight takes 1 AP. Turning facing without moving also takes 1 AP.

Rules for the Nagato
The Nagato will start to support the battle. Please suggest targets for the Nagato via IC actions.

Reminder
Please state explicitly your moves and how you distribute your AP. I'm not going to make up moves for you for another turn. If you got questions, ask. I'm talking to you GWG.

---GM Banter finishes---

Move to 14.23 (-2-4* AP) and take cover
Fire Swarm Missile at P:3 (-3 AP)
Fire Ion Torpedo at P:4  (-3 AP)

((I believe I'm shooting at both the strongest and the farthest enemies. Should take them out. You have 4 targets that you should be able to reach to divide between you.

On a side note, can I purposely fail an initiative roll.))

*Can't remember pathing costs. Nevertheless, 4 AP should be sufficient.
