This is a private run so I apologize for anyone who sees this and wants to join. Read Night at Renos for information leading up to this run.

Okay guys here's the story. I will write up Delacroix again. I'll be looking thru all the archived stories of Delacroix, and will create him as closely as he was to the original, then i'll go ahead and add and spend the karma he's earned.
Shadow excellent job. I'm sure your just as proud as I am about all of this. ...but not only do I think were one of the very few to finish a game, but I believe were the only ones to continue a story arc. "Delacroix" and his Vampirism. Horray for us! |

Delacroix sent to your email, Shadow. I'm ready to begin when you are.

I'm going to deploy the Doberman to a disguised position that allows it to develop enfilading fire with the Bison. The drone's weapons will be ready, but I'll keep the Bison's turret stowed until needed. The Condor will be in a 200m overhead orbit centered on Delacroix. I'll keep everything on passive scan, and I'll open up the EW console to look for radio transmissions as well as rigger networks.

Jr. Woodchuck, I need two rolls from you, a perception check and a reaction test.
Grendel I need a reaction test from you, remember if your jacked in you get to add your VCR to it. |

Heres the deal, they got init and suprise on Del, but they are chosing to aks first. So They are holding there actions, if Del tries to do anything other than respond, they use their held action to attack. However, before Del does respond Grendel can choose to act considering he beat them on the suprise test and wasn't suprised. So as it stands,
Gren your up. |

From your post, I'm assuming that my surprise action allowed me to acheive sensor lock on the targets. For my first initiative action, then, I'm going to order my drones to engage hostile surface targets utilizing turret mounted automatic weapons. That should be the Ares Alpha for the Doberman and the Ares Alpha for the Bison. Issuing drone commands is a complex action, so that's all I can do, but since I'm issuing the same command I don't have to spend two actions. Both drones will engage using sensor-enhanced gunnery. I don't have the modifiers on hand, so I'll have to post them later. Also, any successes generated by my intial active target lock (since I'm using FDDM) can be used as additional dice on the attack test. Again, I don't have my books with me so I'll double check that later. Also, since the Bison's turret wasn't deployed at the time, it will take a complex action to do so, meaning it won't be able to engage until its next action. With any luck, though, all of the Tangos will focus on the Doberman, allowing me to take them from the rear. Since FDDM is designed to coordinate multiple strikes, the Doberman should know to take the two tangos closest to it, while the Bison takes the remaining two. I'll inform Delacroix of the intended target strike. I'll leave it up to his decision whether or not he wants to stand and fight or committ to a tactical withdrawal.

My recall of FDDM procedures is correct as well. The sensor enhanced gunnery table is as follows:
Condition : modifier Urban Environment : +2 Direct LOS : -3 Interrupted LOS : 0 ECM in use : variable ECCM in use: variable Recoil : as per usual Recoil Compensation : vehicle mounts halve recoil modifiers Attacker wounded : + damage modifier Attacking vehicle damaged : + damage modifier |

Grendel I think, his drones were going to open fire but he hasn't rolled.

Sorry, didn't know you wanted me to roll.
Doberman: 13, 11, 5, 1 Bison: 3, 2, 1, 1 I'll spend a karma to reroll those since they're all most likely failures. Bison (x2): 8, 3, 3, 1 |

When do the drones enter the phase? On your init, or on your init on the next pass?
Either way, Delacroix feel free to post your response to their question, bear in mind the consequences though.... |
