I just finished the talky segments and was just about to start rolling for hit and stuff. I asked adwarf if he thought it would be fair to have the attacker do at least one damage even if he rolls below his opponent's defense, his opinion was that as long as it was only one point below their def it was fair. I think this rule is good, in the interest of making sure the matches don't run on forever.

I think attacks should always do at least one damage if it rolls under defense. If it's from a dodge I think no damage is fine.

One damage being, like, mainly superficial, right? Or minor penalties for one turn? Then yeah I can accept that, though consider that it makes Hit(& Move) more important than Damage(& Def). I would perhaps consider a way to make it so they aren't just X roll and Y roll, right after one another; they should each have different effects for various things and being affected by each should be different, I think. Or something.

My point is; keep it balanced, interesting, and varied. Otherwise you'll get everyone wanting to use the sniper rifle that fires 20mm bullets.

1dmg against an MS is almost always completely superficial, just armor damage usually, depending on the kind of weapon. A vulcan fired at an MS's face that does 1dmg might knock out some sensors or similar.

But yeah I can dig what you're saying here about people maybe going with weapons that have high Hit and low damage to try and game the system. But that's why for now it'll just be attacks that roll only just below def. I think in most cases it'll be obvious what kinds of attacks would do chip if they hit, like a missile or a cannon, as opposed to an infantry machine gun. It makes no sense that something that explodes could leave something completely unharmed unless it was really heavily armored.

: [ ? ? ? ] Lutz, would you mind explaining what's going on here? Why haven't you driven them back yet?

[Lutz, Magella Attack Tank]: S-sir!

[Mao, Magella Attack Tank]: Commander Dellert! You're here!

: [Commander Dellert] Indeed.. I'm disappointed in you men. If I had thought you'd be this sloppy I wouldn't have chosen you for this mission.

: [Lutz/Mao] !

: [Commander Dellert] Mao, continue the attack, but stay away from those GMs. Lutz, I'm sending you the data for your new position.

: [Commander Dellert] My maneuver is finished. I'll be moving in along with the Lieutenant in his Wappa. Do cover us.


[Lutz, Magella Attack Tank]: R-roger..!

Spoiler: Zeon Phase (click to show/hide)
FURTUKA'S THEME

Dellert guns his boosters and launches high over the battlefield. Blue light plays across his features as the suit's sensors take in the terrain.

: [Commander Dellert] Two hovertrucks, three guntanks, protecting three human-types..

: [Commander Dellert] ..and one of 'em right below me.

There's a growing shadow around Kyle, and he looks up just in time to see the enemy mobile suit flying down from directly above him, beam lance active and leveled.

(RGM (surprised))
{hit - 2d6=4, 6 : 2d6=6, 3=success; dmg - 7d6=2, 1, 5, 2, 6, 4, 4 : 2d6=5, 1=5}

The tip of the lance connects at the point where the neck meets the shoulder from directly above and drives all the way through the body of Kyle's GM. His suit remains frozen for a moment, the lance having passed through the entire torso, melting it's pilot and all of it's vital systems in a virtual instant. A chill runs down Neil's spine as he witnesses, from where he is leaning against a building, the enemy suit withdraw his lance with an evil slowness and leap away. Kyle's limp suit falls in half as the liquified metal separates. There's a pair of resounding booms separated by a half a second as the two halves hit the pavement, cracking it.

Lutz finishes activating the auto-loading procedure on his Magella, then references his computer before rolling out.

Mao takes off directly West, then banks right towards the guntank on the leftmost side of the river.

[Mao, Magella Attack Tank]: You're mine Fed!

He hammers the trigger and fires. {hit - 2d6=4, 4 : 3d6=3, 2, 3=success; dmg - 4d6=3, 1, 4, 1 : 2d6=5, 6=equal, attacker still does 1dmg} The shell hits at an odd angle and fails to penetrate, instead exploding across Barry's upper torso, carving large chunks of armor away.

Turn 2 End!
Federation phase start!

"What the fuck was that!?" Richards called out as his guntank trundled past, trying to clear the way for Francis to fire. He doubted the shot would hit, and they had other things to worry about now, but it wouldn't be a good idea to stay in the way. He tried to handle the loading system as the MPT drove behind a building, following Mack. He thought he could sorta see another of those Magellas ahead, but not very well. Damnation!

I promise to make you a boss in the next game as restitution for getting killed before you got to do anything. :p

Furtuka's a little closer to KJ than he appears, I just didn't want to put them exactly on top of each other.

((I don't think I'll be able to hit the Gyan with that busted arm servo. And as such, I am going to do something really stupid.))

((Also assuming the suit is red, since: commander + has his own theme = HE IS A CHAR suit is red))

"That damned red MS just killed Kyle!"

Drop my cannon, get my beam saber and charge at that Gyan!
