Movements made. Please confirm these are all as you wish?

"Disintergrator"s Torpedoes are now *NOT LOADED*

The eternal purity may bring 4 weapons batteries to bear, consulting the gunnery table, against a capital ship moving abeam, as well as being within 15 distance, gives you a total of 2d100 to fire at the Aspera Dominus, if you wish to use Lock-on please roll the ld test for that as well, I will take the first d100 to be the leadership test if 3 are rolled.

>>29080512
Can you please amend movement of Eternal Purity as follows:

Turn 45* starboard whilst in original position, then move forward, then fire.

Apologies.

With this amended movement you're now facing the battle barges front, meaning you use the 'Closing' column on the gunnery table, giving you 4d100. Again, roll an additional d100 if you wish to lock-on, I will take the first one as LD if 5 are rolled.

Don't worry, it's perfect now. Can "Disintegrator" reload as special action afterwards? If yes, 6th d100 is for this, if not - please ignore it.

For the Emperor!

>>29080679
Disintegrator can indeed attempt to reload, unfortunately as Eternal Purity's Lock-on failed, no more special order can be made. Both special-order attempts fail.

The fire from the Eternal Purity rebounds harmlessly from the Aspera Dominus' mighty armoured bulk.

Space Marines turn.

rolling for lock on,
general orders are to move forward the minimum required distance so to keep the frig in the closing category then to fire way.

Lock-on failed.

Aspera moves forward 20 distance. Eternal Purity is within 15 of its portside weaponry and 'Closing'.

That's 8d100 weapons batteries. Requiring 65+ to hit.

2 successful hits, depleting the eternal purity's 1 shield and its sole hit point. It has been destroyed.

Usually when escorts are destroyed in BFG there is no catastrophic damage roll because even if they're is anything left it is too small to do anything, however since this quest has post-battle repercussions, I will roll 2d6, if 9+, the ships will simply disappear as it has suffered a complete destruction, if 8 or less it becomes a dead hulk, too small to threaten anything but still salvageable.

Thank you for your contribution, Assassin. Emperor smiles upon your deed.

+++

Some officer aboard Sword Class Frigate couldn't keep his tongue to himself - he let it slip that the ship was fighting not pirates, as it was officially announced for the crew, but Space Marines, representatives of the God Emperor. Most of the crew had experiences fighting a battle alongside Black Templars a few years ago against Eldar raiders - their anger at this lie soon turned into a violent revolt against the officers. Iron Monks lose control of the ship until revolt is quelled.

=Revolt rules=
Each turn Revolting ship will roll 2d100. First d100 will represent officers, second will represent crew. The difference between rolls becomes victory points. First side to get 100 victory points will gain control of the ship.

Sword Class frigate [4] remains motionless as revolt gains power and is now at 11 points.

"Disintegrator" [2] turns 45 degrees starboard and moves forward. If it's in range, it will unload it's guns on Aspera Dominus and reload it's torpedoes.

"Reverent Spirit" [1] and Unidentified Frigate [3] will continue moving forward while sending a litany of curses towards "Aspera Dominus".

Sorry, Aspera Dominus has 1 Thunderhawk Squadron (speed:20) available. And 2 fighter squadrons (speed 30).

Cheap fighters are used in place of a lack of thunderhawks.

>>29081331
Orders are for a full cruising speed (not the special order) forward, taking our turn to the left once we hit the 20cm mark. Then using the Bombardment cannon to remove the torpedoes, and if the BC fails to do so launch the fighters to clear them.

(if the full 20 would bring us into the torps we should stop and turn before we hit them of course)

Ships are still not in range.
Torpedoes move forwards into the fighters, the torpedoes are destroyed by the fighters and the fighters return to the Aspera Dominus to refuel & re-arm.

Do you want to fire the Reverent Spirits torpedoes?
If not it is the Space Marines' turn.
