>>5759214>>5759234>>5759243You watch the incoming reinforcements with some trepidation. While it’s only about a battalion’s worth of droids, if they get close enough to nullify your artillery advantage they’ll easily overwhelm you, and Shade and Fisher will be too busy with the vault to help. However, you’re confident that with your artillery and Yegor’s, you’ll easily be able to annihilate them. Soon enough, through your macrobinoculars you see plumes of smoke and dirt begin to rise around the MTTs, and after a few seconds you witness explosions amongst their formation as your shells penetrate and detonate within the droid transports.
The barrage from four battalion’s worth of artillery is devastating. With no way to respond, the droids have to push on and endure the barrage as it rains down upon them, and slowly but surely more transports erupt in bursts of flame and smoke, or fall to the ground, powerless. After a few minutes it’s clear that the bombardment has been a resounding success, only a handful of MTTs trying to navigate the sea of flame and wreckage that surrounds them. They won’t be a problem anymore.
That done, you turn your attention to Boxer. You can see him and his men by sight alone now, with the ominous shape of his pursuers only a click or two behind him. Only a few minutes later he and his men have reached the fortifications constructed by your engineers, and are busy preparing themselves to face any droids that come through. Boxer continues jogging to your position, snapping a salute as he reaches you.
“Captain Boxer reporting for duty, sir.”
>Good work. Let your men rest a while, we’ll be wiping them out with artillery. And get some rest yourself. Debrief will be once the battle’s over.“Yes sir.”
He take a nearby seat to watch the coming barrage. You look to Joyce and Loge.
>Target those transports!They obey, and soon your guns are pointing at the MTTs, barrels lowered a little to account for their proximity. They’re ready to unleash another devastating round of fire that should hopefully bring an end to all droid forces in the area.
>Fire!<span class="mu-s">Roll 2d100 for effect. -10 from shinies. Bo3</span>
