Well, both of the teams have 3 players each... And you are kinda late...
If you did join you would most likely be joining on your own side?

OOOH

OK, cool.

Jackson yells, "Craaaaaap!  I am really starting to hate robots!" and dives towards the side of the room, grabbing a fuel tank for a plasma cutter and hurling it down the hallway.  Yelling for everyone to duck and cover, he grabs some grenades from his kit and prepares for the fight.  He then takes cover behind some nearby tools, loading a high explosive grenade.  Jackson fires the grenade at the fuel tank (which hopefully landed near our new pal).

How many dice is that?

You get six dice, split them between attack and defense.

... wonders how yelling could be an attack or defense dice...

The dice don't correspond to your actions but how detailed and elaborate your narration is. This is explained in the rules and it encourages people to be creative. If you just "I shoot the bad guy and then duck" you get 2 dice. If you "I take a flying leap over the enemy, slashing him across the back with my sword before rebounding off the far bulkhead and landing behind our defensive line." you get 4 dice. The higher the maximum dice pool, the more dice you can get for being elaborate and descriptive.

'tis still weird in my opinion

If you don't like the rules, you don't have to play.

I said its weird, not that i didnt like the rules.

[forsaken1111]

It is certainly different, and unlike most roleplaying games. The whole point is to get a cooperative story going with a bit of direction from the narrator/GM and a lot of participation from the players. This is also why you can veto each other's actions if you wish to, because players have such freedom. Someone could get silly and say "I pull out a small white and red ball called a Metastasis Capsule and hurl it at the enemy, releasing CHARIZARD and ordering him to use his FLAME BREATH attack." If someone else doesn't want pokemans in the game, they can call for a veto and if the group votes yes, he must rewrite his narration.

So far I've been enjoying the game, I hope you are as well.

[silhouette]

... don't tempt me to do that action...

[Himmelhand]

3 dice to both, please.

Can I modify my shotgun to fire pokemans?

VOLTORB I choose you!
Self destruct on impact!

You know what, I just realized I did this wrong by my own rules. That will teach me to post when sleepy.

Villain combat rules say the players roll a COMBINED total of 6 dice, not 6 individually. I will let it play to see how it works out for this villain, but future I'll probably stick to the rules.

Player Rolls:

Spoiler: Silhouette (click to show/hide)

Combat Trait: 4
Defense Dice: 2 (5, 2)
Attack Dice: 2 (4, 3)

Spoiler: Himmelhand (click to show/hide)

Combat Trait: 5
Defense Dice: 3 (2, 4, 4)
Attack Dice: 3 (4, 3, 6)

Spoiler: Acanthus117 (click to show/hide)

Combat Trait: 5
Defense Dice: 2 (3, 3)
Attack Dice: 4 (5, 4, 1, 6)

Spoiler: Dyjeccu (click to show/hide)

Combat Trait: 3
Defense Dice: 2 (2, 6)
Attack Dice: 4 (5, 5, 6, 2)

Villain Rolls:

Spoiler: Security Mech (click to show/hide)

Targeting Matrix (Combat Talent): 5
Attack Dice: 6 (3, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3)
Defense Dice: 0

Outcome:

Security Mech takes 8 wounds from your rolls, and because it did not hold any back for defense none of that damage is blocked.

Security Mech is now at 8 wounds and continues to fight, but looking battered.

Security Mech gets to split its 5 successful hits across the combatants as it sees fit.

3 wounds go to Silhouette, of which one is blocked by successful defense.

Silhouette has taken 2 damage and is hurt but functional.

2 wounds go to Dyjeccu, of which one is blocked by successful defense.

Dyjeccu has taken 1 damage and is hurt but functional.

Round 2 begins.

[forsaken1111]

The mech pauses, evaluating the battlefield damage its grenade barrage has done and running a combat simulation.

"Unit survival chance estimated at 5.3% with current battlefield conditions. Initiating new combat routines. Null fields engaged. Self-repair systems active."

Around the mech a shimmering curtain of black energy crackles into being and the machine's chassis hunkers low to the ground. Where the field touches the deck, sparks fly and you hear the sound of tortured metal. Across the mech's surface, tiny spider drones crawl around to repair damage and replace systems with spares.

"Activating combat suppression subsystem. Reinforcement request in queue. Escalation request in queue."

Above the field a small dual-barreled turret rises on an extension platform from the mech's back. It clears the null field and opens fire at your defensive position, seeking to suppress further engagement while the mech regenerates.

Note: During round 2, if you assign more than 2 dice to attack you will take 1 auto damage, as if you were fighting a minion group. This damage CAN be prevented with a successful defense roll.

Security Mech gets 6 dice.
