They were soon to receive even more than they bargained for. The TOG war machine ground closer and closer. At point-blank range, the stalwart defenders rose up and began launching missile after missile at the attackers. But there seemed to be an endless supply of the attackers, disgorging squad after squad of faceless infantry. There were so many attackers the TOG leader had to borrow rebel trucks to haul them in (or he forgot some of his vehicles, whatever...)
Hearing the town's desperate cry for help, Task Force Bravo reversed their previous course and raced to attempt relief. Both commanders agreed that Bravo didn't get to start in prepared positions as they were moving in the same turn. A Liberator medium tank, Wolverine light tank, and 4 Viper light APCs were a small pittance against the TOG mob.
The Wolverine lost all his front armor but managed to set up for a return volley.
As the horde continued their advance, the second layer of defense popped out of their holes and engaged the attackers in the flank. But what's this? Or rather, what isn't? The mainstay of city defense, their heaviest unit, missed the rally call and stayed hidden. See him on the ridge below? Nope, me neither. His firepower probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
The poor Viper is painted by a gazillion units and undergoes heavy incoming fire.
Despite all the missiles raining down on the TOG, none of them die. Oh, they'll have a lot of armor to repair, but they're still alive.
Not so for the valiant defenders. In just the 2nd round of shooting, a Fauchard took only 2 hits. Oh, 16 missiles were targeted on him, but it was the 2 laser hits straight down the turret that killed him.
In that same round, a similar fate befell the lone Liberator medium tank. Another lucky laser shot into the turret and the vehicle was destroyed, taking out the Rebel Centurion.
With their commander out of action, the remaining grav forces beat a hasty retreat. Seeing half their defensive force leave caused the rest of the town's defenders to lay down their arms and sue for peace.
Isher now belongs to TOG.
You heard of the lucky dice of the TOG. This is the dice of the rebels. Yes, 4 TVLG missiles rain down onto the unprotected stern of a TOG APC.
Pretty much 4 wasted shots right there. And that's how the day went for the defenders.
