Finally, action was chosen over words as some of the battalion forced the issue of when to begin the attack- by starting it themselves. Lieutenant Lutzow-Spelinger, one of the most excitable, the highest born of the entire battalion save for the Countess herself, fired the first shots, a ripple of cannon fire followed by rattling pounding spitting of multiple machine guns, before advancing out of the forest with his full platoon of tanks.
>Lutzow-Spelinger’s attack of 3 against the Twaryian Fusiliers’ defense of 2+2 from cover- -1 modifier, Base to hit 6+ Roll
>Tank 1 hits with 1 8mm and Successfully Suppresses, Tank 2 does not hit, Tank 3 hits one critical hit with its cannon, Command Tank scores 3 critical hits with machine guns and 13mm
Gunther Lutzow-Spelinger’s spirits soar as the devastation of his platoon’s daring first attack quickly makes itself apparent. The invading fools were all in the open as he burst forward- and he held down the thumb triggers of the screaming 13mm machine gun as he was deafened by the din of fire, even through his headset and ear protection. There couldn’t be much left after that, he thought as he leaped confidently into his tank and ordered his platoon forth- he must have felled at least ten of the rotten blooded fools himself.
How father would be proud, he thought, upon hearing of what was shaping up to be a magnificent first victory.
After a moment, Lieutenant Martins also emerged from the forests- though not as quickly, forced to navigate through the tricky terrain. Nevertheless, a second platoon of tanks was soon out, scanning for targets.
>Due to movement cost from moving into terrain, full ordered move was unable to be made
Lieutenant Vix came forward, dog-legging through the open terrain to make it to a firing position in time, as Lieutenant Rheiner ordered his tanks forward as well-closely followed by the trucks of Wester’s motor-dragoons.
>Fire action not able to be taken- moved to close to be able to
More dragoons joined the attack, as Raine’s platoon charged forth towards the unready enemy, rumbling over the stream, inadvertently testing it- it was shallow here, though, and the water sloshing and spraying up barely wet the hubcaps, more discomfort coming from the stream’s bed of stones than from its water. Krogh and Vilgerson supported from the trees with covering fire- though their men could barely sight the silhouettes of cloaked Twaryians with their rifles, and they soon saw none moving anyways- at least, any they could hit.
Leaping from their vehicles, Raine’s platoon hit the ground, doing their best to find whatever meager cover there was and stick to it- even if it had to be dug out with a spade.
>Raine is currently dug-in, and has +1 Defense
You’ll have to say where you want to throw the smoke.
Things aren't shown exactly as they are here- they will be from here on, just scuffed my own turn order when making these
