[Archive]D10 Roll 2 Dodge - Fall of the West

Title: Fall of the West
Author: FLAMELASHER

---

I'm making a new R2D set in the 22nd Century. More details at www.2104-rp.weebly.com

You start as a Rear Admiral in the UWC Navy. First four get 5 Frigates they can name, last two get 5 fast assault ships they can name.

---

"Admirals. I have called you all here today to tell you some tragic news. We are at war with the Alliance of the East." said High Admiral Wisdom. "To survive, we will need superior strategies. Even with that, we will struggle. But we will win! Because we aren't fighting for resources. We are fighting for our lives. We are fighting for our people's lives. We are fighting for freedom!"

"Targets detected. Estimated 52 Frigates and 1 Supercarrier." says a mechanical female voice.

"Shit!" you hear the High Admiral curse: "Battle stations!"

Roll #1

As you reach your ships you see High Admiral Wisdom has already taken control of 20 Frigates and his supercarrier flagship, Leviathan. Fiery trails shoot through the sky, and frigates begin falling, alight with deadly fire. Fighter Ships shoot through the trails of supersonic kinetics and long missiles, dodging guided 'Arrowhead' missiles.

FLEET BATTLE

UWC Fleet

14 Frigates under High Admiral Wisdom
1 Supercruiser under High Admiral Wisdom
5 Frigates under Admiral Lee
5 FAS under Admiral Moss

vs

AOTE Battlegroup B

46 Frigates under ?
1 Supercarrier under ?

As your ships launch, 9 enemy Frigates attack. They have superior weapons and armour. You Tactical Computer makes several suggestions:

A: Target their weapons.
B: Target their engines.
C: Scatter and attack from different angles.

However, Tactical Computers never had the ingenuity of the human brain.

---

Admiral Lee

Your 5 ships have a Mass Driver Cannon capable of huge damage, but with low fire rate and 250 'Arrowhead' Missiles, in addition to a Mini-Nuke.

---

Admiral Moss

Your 5 ships are faster than Admiral Lee's, but have only 175 'Arrowhead' Missiles and less Mass Driver Cannon chargers. However, you carry several Sanguin-Jones Bombers.
