As for Vega that DEST has us really worried, we ran into a Nightstar on our last mission, and if the Legion of Vega could field something as imposing as a godamn Nightstar the thought of what kind of toys a DEST would have access to has us all on edge. We're really really REALLY hoping its not a Thunder Hawk.(09-04-2017, 05:20 PM)Surge Wrote: pretty well, we're into the war of 3039 and are on the frontlines.
The FRR group has temporarily gone mercenary (with the Kungsarme's permission, I suspect because the last time the Kungsarme left us to our own devices our base acquired a bunch of craters and we refused to explain why) and are signed on with the LCAF leading an assault on Vega. They lost a pilot to a lucky flanking maneuver and lost an assault mech to a vindictive light, but they've made off with a lot of star league era tech, slain a distant heir to the Kuritan throne, and generally caused such a nuisance that the DCMS has dispatched a DEST to blunt their latest push.
The Davion group is on Fellanin II with the Eridani Light Horse, where the ELH have claimed all the salvage, much to the chagrin of the players, who are being supported only by regular shipments from the AFFC and NAIS now, they've been running around doing odds and ends errands for the ELH, securing the planet's water purification plant, rescuing an ELH lance caught out in the open, and running down retreating enemies. It's been pretty standard stuff, the most notable events were our Victor beating an enemy Hatamoto-Chi, the player demanding the Hatamoto's kabuto be grafted onto his Victor, and then impersonating enemy reinforcements in said Victor so he could get close and decapitate an enemy. Oh they also crippled a withdrawing Shadow Hawk to the point where he could no longer navigate, so he got lost in the desert and died.
Sounds pretty bad at times and slow others. I'd be prepared for the sudden Bitzkrieg that you'll probably be the unfortunates to deal with it. Or the backup for the folks who were supposed to. Because I suspect there's something going on in the sidelines that gm is not required to tell you about. GM 101. When things are slow, or stalemated, keep something on the back-line planned to make sure the players remain interested and moving forwards.
Edit: By bad I do not mean "a bad job". Merely bad situations.
