Turn End Phase:
Lightning strikes no hexes this turn!
The Stalker rocked as paired streams of charged particles stripped armor from its flank and leg, but Rebecca’s quiet exultation was short-lived. As the prototypal artillery `Mech, the Stalker’s armament was considered anemic for the task compared to other more modern designs. Its shortcomings as a fire-support unit were more than compensated by the heft of the remainder of its armament, originally intended simply to guard the Stalker from lighter-weight artillery hunters and even fast vehicles.
The Stalker’s return fire rocked the Awesome like a sledgehammer, though half of the Stalker’s LRM salvo was blown wide by the heavy, gusting wind. A single large laser blistered the armor over the Awesome’s right thigh, and her DI Computer updated her `Mech’s combat monitor wireframes with more splotches of yellow. While she’d normally have bet her awesome against any Stalker as the certain victor in any long-range slugging match, the fact was, with a third of her armament out of commission and her armor shredded by that damned Bombarder, she wasn’t confident she’d win at range.
Up close, however, the Stalker’s weight of firepower would be telling. None of her options were good, but the First Regulan Hussars knew how to make the best of a bad situation. She’d find a way to win, because losing simply wasn’t an option.
