Bridge Walker Battle report

[EXO-CHAMP]

I finally got around to testing a multi crew Battle Machine for Exo-Dice. The monstrous Bridge Walker was to be the first test subject.

I played the humans and this is the force i chose:

Silent Strike 72 points

Hikaru 30 points

White Lightning 53 points

Ha-Ya-To 20 points

Grand Titan 53 Points

Takeshi 32 Points

Uplink 37 Points (genki pilot)

Total 297 points

My friend played the robots and chose the following:

Bridge Walker 110 points

Sonic Phantom 53 points

Thunder Fury 52 points

R1 Rammer 29 points

3 x Sentry 51 points

Total: 295 points

The humans advance against the gigantic Bridge Walker:

Silent Strike is in trouble:

At first the I tried to out-flank the robots, wanting to destroy the Sentry host so I could even out the numbers. This was very succesfull and I managed to destroy all 3 Sentries, only loosing the Genki Uplink in the process.

Then things got a little more tricky.

The Silent Strike was hard pressed against the Bridge Walker, Thunder Fury and sonic Phantom and was taking serious damage.

I retreated the Silent Strike until the Grand Titan could come to its aid. The combined attack of the two human mechas destroyed the Sonic Phantom.

Feeling victory getting closer I got a little too eager and advanced the White Lightning forward, and started blasting disruptor discs at the Bridge Walker.

But the combined effort of the BW, TF and R1 totally destroyed the White Lightning in one round.

Desperate to do some serious damage on the Bridge Walker, I chose to get in close with both the Silent Strike and the Grand Titan and use their awesome close combat weapons. But lady luck was not kind. An attack from the Grand Titan using 6 Attack-Exo-Dice came up with only 1 success and the Silent Strike only damaged the BW slightly.

This was catastrophic. The robots concentrated all fire on the GT until it was destroyed, and even though the Silent Strike managed to severly damage the BW in the following rounds, it was too little too late.

The robots turned to destroy the Silent Strike and the Battle was over.

Learning points:

I made some mistakes during the game which eventually became my downfall. At one time I could have hidden my BMs and cooled down, but chose to press the attack which meant that I couldn't maximize firepower.

Bridge Walker is absolutely monstrous. Lots of Damage steps, big guns and plenty of Attack Dice makes it very hard indeed.

Had the GT been more succesfull it could have used its claw to disarm (pilot skill for Takeshi) the BW one snip at the time, but it was not to be.

Attacking BW and two support BMs head-on with the White Lighning is not a good plan. ;-)

Hope you enjoyed this battle report and feel free to comment.

I read this 2 minutes ago on BZP,and it's pretty interesting.

Perhaps you could record a live battle with your webcam, on Windows Movie Maker, and save it and put it online?

I don't have a web-cam, so....

Besides. A game takes about 2 hours. It might get a bit boring to look at.

The real fun is in playing the game: Tactical maneuvers, exciting dice-rolls etc.

And of course the Lego coolness factor. :-)

I'd say that was the best battle report yet. I would post one, but my friends don't seem to be too interested in playing the game. I'll try to convince them, but it might be tricky. *wacko* See, they aren't too interested in LEGO, escept for one but he only has a couple of sets. The other hates LEGO. Period. Maybe my friend who likes LEGO might play, but it's a slim chance. :-/ Anyways, great battle report. You were a bit too over confident though, advancing the White Lightning so quickly, and that was your downfall.

[EXO-CHAMP]

Thank you.

Well, maybe if he tried it one time, it could change his mind... :-)

And yes, I got a little to cocky in the end, which was the main reason for my defeat.
