Mission 2: Silent Surprise
Turn 24After the minesweeper crew successfully cleared the huge minefield during Mission Asteroid Slalom, your fleet now has arrived. While they fight big battles, your squad has already a new asignment. A shield generator has been located on a porous asteroid, which protects the enemy's spacestation. While your fleet can wipe out the enemy fleet, it cannot attack the station while it is protected by the powerfull shield.
Since the generator asteroid also is surrounded by a strong shield, only small objects can be teleported in, and only one at a time. Such as a person in a space suit. Your task is to clear the path for a special ops squad that will try to raid the generator base. To make sure most of them arrive, your task is to clear their path. From time to time, you will get special ops members to help you fight hostile forces. They share the teleportation windows with your team, and can move and fight just like you, only with different attributes. Try not to explode mines, as it might attract hostile forces and block possible teleportation windows for spec ops if players have to respawn. You start in turn 0 after all of you have been teleported in.
Information:
- you start with 1 mp (movement point) as a new character. You can shoot for free, even while moving.
- you start with 5 health. Lost health can be regained by doing a repair action, restoring 2 health per turn. This is a full turn action, no other actions or movement allowed.
- moving diagonally costs 1.5 mp, moving up/down/left/right costs 1 mp.
- placing a beacon/flag costs 1 mp, and so will special actions that may come later.
- the more mp you gain,the quicker you can move. Once you reach 2 mp, you can also spend 1 of your mp for a special action or to place a beacon. You can move normally with the rest of your mp. But you cannot place 2 beacons or buy more actions like this.
- if you move diagonally and one of the adjacent tiles, which you would have to pass with none-diagonal movement, is an active mine not marked with a beacon, you have a 50% chance to trigger it.
- your blasters start with a range of 3 and 1 damage. You automatically defend yourself, but do not automatically aid somebody or attack.
- if you have more than one attack, you can split them between several targets.
- each tile with a number also has an equal amount of red dots in the upper left corner, just in case you cannot read the number cause of the player avatars.
- better spacesuits might have better values.
- You can only deployed on column A-I until somebody reaches a column further to the right, no matter if PC or special ops NPC. Once somebody reached a column, it is then unlocked for deployment for the rest of the game.
Actions:
Comes-too-late remains on G1 and repairs his suit, regaining 2 hp.
Fails-to-see awakes in the cloning tank. He will be equipped and send back to the minefield in turn 25. He should decide where he wants to be deployed.
Ka's Splaat flies to G9, which is already explored and safe. But not safe from hostile fire, as the laser tower on K9 fires a beam on him, vaporizing Ka and his suit. His clone will be deployed in turn 26 (post actions after turn 25).
Makes-it-go-boom flies to I4, which is already explored and safe. He deals 1 damage to the building on K3. It still looks pretty solid, much unlike Makes suit after the tower returned fire and dealt 3 damage to him.
Pats-Asteroids remains on G7 and repairs his suit, regaining 2 hp.
Spec ops 1 flies to I3, which doesn't seem to be a mine. He and the laser tower on K2 fire at each other, both dealing 4 damage. The tower collapses.
Spec ops 2 remains on H6 and repairs his suit, regaining 2 hp.
Spec ops 3 is deployed to I2, which doesn't seem to be a mine. He fires at the tower on K2, dealing 6 damage. The tower collapses.
