EXO-CHAMP Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 First of all I would like to thank Jipay (and the rest involved) for the opportunity to show Lego wargaming on EB. Thanks guys... I'll start with a battle report for my Exo-Dice game (sig). Two of my friends played the battle while I was taking notes and pictures. The opposing forces: Both players had to secure objectives which were represented by small dublo pyramids. Each of the smaller objectives were worth 1 Battle-Point and each large objective were worth 3 Battle- Points. The Set-up (Humans are white - Robots are black) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/setup2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/setup1.jpg BS folder (when public): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=207259 1st Turn. The humans won the initiative and forced the robots to move first. Both forces moved forward to secure objectives. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...ice/batrep1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...o-Dice/tur1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/tur1.1.jpg 2nd Turn. The humans won the initiative and forced the robots to move first. A Sentry moved up to secure the Green objective. Gate Defender(G) secured the Yellow objective. Gate Defender(GD) secured the Orange objective. Uplink secured the Light Blue Objective. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...ice/batrep2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...o-Dice/tur2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/tur2.1.jpg 3rd Turn The Humans won the initiative and moved first. The Grand Titan fired the Gatling Laser and a rocket at a Sentry. The Sentry was badly damaged nut still in the game. The Sentry fired back with a rocket but missed. On the other flank the Micro Titan hit the R1 Rammer causing only minor damage with its twin lasers. Another Sentry moved up and fired at the Grand Titan. But it missed with a laser shot and a rocket. The Gate Defender(GD) fired at a Fire Vulture but it was out of range. A Thunder Fury moved up and also fired at the Grand Titan with 3 shots from its laser cannon. 2 shots missed but the 3rd hit and the GT failed to avoid the shot and then failed to parry it. The shot lightly damaged the GT. On the right flank the Gate Defender(G) fired two shots at a Thunder Fury but both shots missed. The robots pressed the attack on the damaged GT. A Fire Vulture attacked twice with its claw and once again the GT was slightly damaged. The Sentry II fired a guided missile at the the at the Micro Titan but the pilot used his Missile Defence skill and shot the missile down in mid air. The Sentry II then fired its laser cannons at the MT, but missed. The R1 Rammer fired its Quad Laser at the MT, but the pilot dodged the shot. A Fire Vulture moved up to secure the Lime Objective. The MT had used up all its Defence Dice for this turn, so when a Thunder Fury fired its laser cannon twice there was nothing the MT pilot could do. Both shots hit and the MT was severly damaged. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...ice/batrep3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...o-Dice/tur3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/tur3.1.jpg 4th Turn The Humans won the initiative and moves first. The MT fires back at the TF. The TF avoids the first shot but is hit by the second and is severly damaged. The TF moves in and attacks the MT with its Titanium Saw but the MT avoids one blow and the other misses. Ryo (Uplink) hastely manages to repair a few points of damage on the Micro Titan. On the left flank a FV continous to attack the GT with its claw. One swing misses, the GT avoids the another, but one attack hits and damages the GT which can't seem to parry the attack. The Gate Defender(G) flies forward to attack a Sentry with its combat fist. The robot fails to avoid the first hir and hasn't got any Defence dice left to avoid the seckond. The Sentry is destroyed. In response a Thunder Fury moves up to attack the GT. Both attacks misses. The GT strikes back with two mighty blows from its EMP pincers and cuts the TF in half. The Thunder Fury is destroyed. On the right flank the SentryII once more fires at the Micro titan but misses. The Gate Defender(GD) uses its laser to attack the remaining TF, which hasn't any Defence Dice left, and hits it twice, damaging the TF slightly. It's starting to look bleak for the robots but a Fire Vulture swoops in to attacks the defenceless Micro Titan and hits it twice, destroying the MT. The R1 Rammer fires its Quad laser twice at the Gate Defender(GD) but both shots miss. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...ice/batrep4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...o-Dice/tur4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/tur4.1.jpg 5th Turn Once again the humans won the initiative and moved first. The Grand Titan was heating up so Takeshi chose only to fire one shot, and put all 6 Attack-Dice in. The roll came out as 11 succeses which the target Fire Vulture chose not to avoid (needing 11 successes with 3 Defence-Dice) The FV was lucky as the damage wasn't cripling. On the right flank a Thunder Fury fired 3 shots at the Gate Defender(GD) but all 3 shots missed. Uplink in turn fired at the TF with a missile, but the TF used all its Defence-Dice and avoided the shot. Uplink also fired its lasers and hit. The TF was badly damaged and its Titanium Saw was shot off. On the left flank the Fire Vulture returned fire at the Grand Titan. Both shots hit and the GT avoid one, but it was not enough. The badly damaged Grand Titan received too much damage and fell down. Out of action. The Fire Vulture continued by attacking the Gate Defender(G) with a rocket, but missed. Gate Defender(G) closed on the Fire Vulture and hit it with a combat fist attack, damaging the FV slightly. On the right flank the SentryII fire a missile and a laser at the Gate Defender(GD). GD avoided the laser shot but the missile connected with brutal force, severly damaging the GD. The GD moved in to attack both the damaged Thunder Fury and the SentryII with its fist. The first attack against the TF connected and destroyed the defenceless Thunder Fury. One attack against the SentryII missed and the S2 avoided the seckond. The Fire Vulture on the right flank move in to finish off the Gate Defender(GD), but missed with 3 strikes from its Vulture Claw. The R1 had more luck and glanced the GD, destroying its combat fist. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...ice/batrep5.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...o-Dice/tur5.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/EXO-CHAM...Dice/tur5.1.jpg More to follow (10 turns total)...
Darth_Ewok Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Very nice battle report, I really like the use of paint for a diagram of the map! Keep it up!
EXO-CHAMP Posted November 7, 2006 Author Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks. 5 more turns to go. Stay tuned...
EXO-CHAMP Posted November 7, 2006 Author Posted November 7, 2006 Right. The battles continues: 6th Turn The Humans won the initiative and moved first. On the right flank the Gate Defender(GD) shot twice at the Sentry II but missed with both shots. On the left flank the Fire Vulture attacked the Gate Defender(G) with its Vulture Claw. One attack missed and the Gate Defender(G) just barely avoided the seckond. Uplink fired both missile and laser at the FV on the right flank. The FV avoided the missile and the laser shot missed. The damaged Sentry limped forward to secure the Yellow objective from the humans(you only needed to be in base contact with the objective, without attacking, to claim it). Revenge was swift. The Gate Defender(G) took out the damaged Sentry with its combat fist, then turned to rip the Vulture Claw from the FV, severly damaging it in the process. On the right flank the Sentry II shot its lasers at the Gate Defender(GD), but it managed to dodge the shot. The R1 and FV both also attacked the GD but all shots, but one missed. The GD avoided the shot though. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118458 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118487 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118489 7th Turn The humans won the initiative (again) and moved first. Ryo used his Mechanic skill to fix a few points of damage on The Gate Defender(GD) The Sentry II was determined to fix the GD in a totally different way and fired its lasers at the GD, but the GD avoided the shot. In rturn the GD took the fight to the Fire Vulture with two strikes from its combat fist. The first missed, but the seckond damaged the FV. On the left flank the Fire Vulture tried desperately to hit the Gate Defender(G) with its flamer (The FV had lost its flight capability and claw due to combat damage) but one shot missed and the Gate Defender (G) easily avoided the seckond. The Gate Defender(G) struck back with its combat fist, but only managed to spoil the paint job on the FV. On the right flank the FV attack the Gate Defender(GD) 3 times with its Vulture claw, but all 3 shots missed. It wasn't looking good for the robots. In a desperate gamble the R1 put both its attack dice into one shot against the Gate Defender(GD) and rolled 4 succeses. The GD rolled only 2 modified to a 3(flight) and was hit. The total damage from the Quad Laser came up a massive 7 points and the GD was destroyed. Sure hope Ha-Ya-To got out safely. :D http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118459 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118491 8th Turn The humans won the initiative and moved first (Humans have 3 dice for initiative and the robot 2. This reflects the humans superior capability to adjust during battle compared to the robots head-on tactics). With a loud: Nooooo. Ryo turned on the R1 and fired two shots with his Laser cannons. The driver of the R1 acted too late and both shots impacted with the vehicle, leaving nothing but a burning wreck. The GD was avenged. On the left flank the FV was still trying to hit the Gate Defender(G) and luckily managed to score a hit, but rolled very poorly on the damage roll. The Gate Defender(G) closed in and stroke twice with its combat fist. The FV used all its defence dice to avoid the first strike, but the seckond impacted with a massive 11 points of damage, tearing the robot machine apart. The FV was destroyed. The Sentry II fired its lasers at the Uplink but Ryo managed to move out of the way. The remaining Fire Vultur attacked 3 times with its Vulture Claw, but all 3 attacks missed. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118460 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118493 9th Turn The Humans won the initiative and moved first. Still in rage Ryo (Uplink) fired his lasers at the remaining Fire Vulture. The FV avoided the first shot and the seckond missed. The FV returned to favor with 3 shots from its flamer. Showing remarkable marksmanship 2 shots hit and Uplink didn't manage to avoid them. The soaring flames of hot chemicals did catastrofic damage to Uplink and it lost its last remaining weapon and was severly damaged. On the left flank the Gate Defender(G) claimed the yellow objective which was lost to the Sentry earlier on. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118461 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118493 10th Turn The humans won the initiative and optioned to move first. (this was to prove to be a mistake). In a last desperate gamble the Gate Defender(G) moved forward and fired its laser cannon at the FV. The FV just managed to avoid the shot. (If the FV had been shot the robot player would have no chance to claim the Orange objective). The clever robot player sent the Sentry II to claim the Light Blue objective forcing the human player to move Uplink and still having the FV in resrve to claim the Orange objective. Uplink couldn't do anything. It had no weapons and couldn't reach the FV due to combat damage (you can make close combat attacks even if you have no weapons - kicking, ramming, hitting etc.) If Uplink moved to claim the Orange objective the FV would still have time to claim it afterwards. The gamble had failed and Uplink did nothing. The FV swooped in to claim the Orange objective, and the Battle was over... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118495 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2118496 RESULT Humans: 4 Battle Points (Red, Yellow) Robots: 7 Battle Points (Blue, Green, Lime, Light Blue, Orange) ROBOT VICTORY Learning point: If the humans have optioned to move seckond in the last turn they would have forced the robots to move first and could have claimed the Orange objective, making the final score: Humans:5 - Robots:6 Discuss Exo-Dice on EB: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...wtopic=6840&hl=
Lost Viking Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Sounds fun! I am currently buffing up my EF collection to have a battle.
EXO-CHAMP Posted November 9, 2006 Author Posted November 9, 2006 Good show LV.. Btw. I forgot to mention that the forces are build up by point cost: Each force has 300 points worth. The Human force: Grand Titan w. Takeshi 82 points Gate Defender w. Ha-Ya-To 60 Points Uplink w. Ryo 54 Points Micro-Titan w. Pilot 51 Points (no template uploaded yet) Gate Defender w. Pilot 50 Points (no template uploaded yet) Total 297 Points The Robot force: Fire Vulture 53 Points Fire Vulture 53 Points Thunder Fury 50 Points Thunder Fury 50 Points Sentry II 31 Points R1 Rammer 29 Points Sentry 17 Points Sentry 17 Points Total 300 Points And If you don't care about the story you could also let the human fight each other. Or maybe the robots..
Jipay Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Thank you for this battle report. I can see much efforts involved, you even draw "whitedwarf" like pictures so we can see what happened. How long did the battle take ? And how long to set everything up ?
EXO-CHAMP Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 The Battle took a little over 2 hours... It's a bit difficoult to tell, as I had to stop the players to take notes and pictures... Set-up: The card-board-box terrain and dublo markers took about 5-10 minuttes. I forgot to mention how the players did set-up the models. The rolled one Exo-Dice and the highest roll chose to set-up the first model or seckond. They then alternated in setting up models. The robot player had to set-up two models each time the human player set-up one. All models had to be within 50cm of the main objective. Btw. If people have ideas for missions, I would like to hear them. I'm currently working on a showdown between the Mountain Warrior and the Bridge Walker. (you can discuss the new templates here: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...0entry107936)
dillthepill Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Now I definately have to play. It sounds great.
EXO-CHAMP Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 Can't wait to hear your first battle report. Be sure to take pictures.
