OPERATION: SPACE ODYSSEY

Mission 2: Silent Surprise

After 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. Try not to explode mines, as it might attract hostile forces and block teleportation windows for other players and the special ops. You start in turn 0 after all of you have been teleported in.

Turn 0


Information:
- 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.
- your blasters have a range of 3 and deal 1 damage (diagonally = 1.5 tiles). You automatically defend yourself, but do not automatically aid somebody. You can shoot while moving.
- you have 5 health. Lost health can be regained by doing a repair action, restoring 2 health per turn.
- if you can at least fly 1.5 tiles per turn, you can move diagonally (diagonally = 1.5 tiles). If 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.
- if you can at least fly 2 tiles per turn, you can pass several tiles per turn or move at 50% speed and still do an attack, repair or place-beacon action.
- better spacesuits might have better values.
- You can only deployed on column A and B 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-to-late is ready for deployment, chose a tile in column A or B.
Fails-to-see is ready for deployment, chose a tile in column A or B.
Ka's Splaat is ready for deployment, chose a tile in column A or B.
Makes-it-go-boom is ready for deployment, chose a tile in column A or B.

Makes will spawn in B6.

Pats asteroids zooms in beside his fellow worker at B7

Comes-too-late jumps in at A2

Note, it's "Comes-too-late", with an double "o".... ("Kommt-zu-spät", nicht "Kommt-zum-Spät" (oder "zur")), my previous attempts to make you correct it didn't get seen... ;)

Hi. Habs gemerkt als das Bild nicht lud, hatte das Char-Icon auch erst falsch benannt. Dann habe ich vergessen es in den Tabs ebenfalls zu korrigieren. Sorry, stimmt nun.

Fails zips in at B9.

Danke sch├Ân!

Does anybody know about Zigit? Is he in holidays? He wasn't on for 5 days. Please vote if we should skip him this turn or wait for him or vote for his starting tile.

I vote Zigit starting position A12

I vote Zigit starts in B11, it gives him more options when he gets back.

Since 2 did not vote yet and 2 did vote differently, I did roll dice. Result: B11.

Actions:
Comes-to-late is deployed to A2 and uncovers a 1.
Fails-to-see is deployed to B9 and uncovers a 2.
Ka's Splaat is deployed to B11 and uncovers a 3.
Makes-it-go-boom is deployed to B6 and uncovers a 1.
Pats-Asteroids is deployed to B7 and uncovers a 0, triggering the discovery of all 10 adjacent fields.

Since nobody did die, a spec ops gets to use the teleport window. Decide where he should be deployed at the beginning of next turn.

Makes-it-go-boom will move to C6.

Vote: Spec. Ops. spawns C8.

Fails-to-see moves to C11.

Vote: Spec ops to C8.

Pats flies to C7.

As i'm not sure what special ops do i'll just agree with the others for now.

I think the spec ops are our guards so to speak. Additional fighters.

Then I support C8.

Comes-too-late cautiously moves to A3.

You cannot spawn it to the C column, as nobody did enter it yet. You did uncover some numbers there due to the chain reaction cause of the 0-tiles, but nobody was there yet. So B8 instead of C8?

Yes, the spec ops are fighters, who cannot uncover tiles, but fight better against enemies than you.

Then B8

I will give Zigit a few more hours and update before I go to bed. Please send in move suggestions for him so I can update in case he doesn't make it here in time.

move him to c11.

A11, let him explore the corner....

I agree with C11, A11 seems to lack utility.

Yeah, but if he's not here to play himself....

We should prioritize our own convenience, as opposed to the negative repercussions of neglecting the game.
