[CYOA] Operation Mongoose, Phase 2.5 : Red Alert!
Posts
Also, the secondary battery exactly the same as the primary, just got shorter range.
The other solution to this problem is probably to wait 1 turn, collosinate and then use the devour ability on the rolling tank. But that sounds like a lot of work for very little reward.

*This is a balance change. Such large salvos as I had originally allowed will be a bit too swingy.
How many Ghetties constitute a horde? Given past patterns shooting one should take out the rest.

Goddamn, how big are those storage tanks? They sure seems easy to hit.
Also, guess a horde would be 4 tanks. Let's wait with shooting at them, maybe they'll clean up some of the uranium trying to get to us.
Also, waiting a turn allows us to fill our capacitor so we can transform and shoot them with the plasma cannon instead. We can save some ammo that way.

History Lesson: (Ghetty Tractor Horde) Ordinarily, I'd agree with you about holding off for the moment.
Ordinarily, we don't have missiles though.
Also, I kinda like the streak of kindness you added to the Eater wilting. I'm gonna try to roll with it for one.
Meh about the vote.

I know that it's not on the list of accepted historical archive materials, but I'd like to have some idea what these do before I ask if we can shoot one off.
Cause I really, really want to blow something up.

Tiphareth, your HR form is inspired
Do we have to go to the admin building?
We've got a van of "volunteers" on it's way. We might have some red shirts that can fit them.
It's possible the Ghetties might try to clean up some of the uranium, I mean they have tanks full of the stuff, right? Seems likely they have some way of gathering more.
There is a fire in the Missile Bay. If it is not extinguished, there is a chance it will spread to other areas and damage them.
There is a coolant leak. If it is not sealed, there is a chance it will inflict crew casualties.
Options:
- Spend 1power to open a channel with any radar contact.
- Spend 1 power to move forward 1 space.
- Spend 1 power to disintegrate the low performance vehicle, converting it into Alloy Sheets & Engine Components.
- Spent 1 power to open fire with the primary battery (You may fire up to 6 rounds total, at the cost of 1 power each)
- Spent [X] power to open fire with the Fusion Plasma Cannon. The more energy you pay, the more damage the cannon's beam will inflict. Does not use ammunition.
- Deploy Technical Teams to extinguish the fire in the Missile Bay. There is a low risk of casualties.
- Deploy Technical Team to seal the coolant leak. There is a significant risk of casualties.
- Assign a Technical Team to repair the Juggernaut Wetware's armor. Consumes 10 Alloy Sheets.

If the Plasma cannon overpenetrates the first target, will it continue to the next?
Also, it seems they actually COULD penetrate us. How quaint.

You drained your cap firing that plasma cannon last turn, and since all Technical Teams were assigned to special duties, no power was generated. Your options this turn are going to be limited as a result.

The game has been balanced around the idea that allied assets you join-up with be positioned in front of your tank, to soak-up damage. They're intended to be fodder. :P
If you guys keep the tank squads behind you, I'm not sure you'll last very long.

This is exciting
We've kinda taken a lot of damage and I think we need to do everything we can to replenish lost materiel and crew. Next round we fire at the remaining horde and force the civilian vehicles to replenish us under gunpoint.
Edit: I promise, this is not gonna be America all over again.
EDIT: On the other hand, Tiphareth is potentially correct. If you Devoured the full strength Rosenberg squadron, there would only be 2 tanks left in the weakened squadron to shoot at you.

I agree, focus on the coolant leak for now. The other stuff is bad, but isn't likely to cause further damage before we can get it repaired.
In the meantime, I'd rather not start eating friendlies, if at all possible.
Once we have power, maybe we can contact them and request additional crew if available?

Eyup. Bear in mind that any tanks/"friendlies" that get killed right next to us, can also be consumed (I assume), much like happened to Hemmingway-9. The Infinity Machine just got there first...
