Highway Slugfest

We played a highway attack scenario the other day. Four cars attempt to immobilize a bus and it's two escort vehicles. It's easy to see why highway duels are so deadly. It's easy to hit when you are travelling at the same speed going in the same direction. Also, travelling at speeds around 80 mph make manuevers difficult, at that speed you can't go much lower than 0 HC without rolling on the control table.

The attackers:
Conestoga, Timeshifter, Pisces, and Bombardier

The Rabbits:
Joseph Special, Pirahna, Slugfest

The attackers fall upon the bus and escorts from the rear.



The Bombadier and Pisces quickly engage the Slugfest on its right side, the Timeshifter and Connestoga move to attack the Joseph Special. The Bombardiers large antitank gun soon rips a hole in the Slugfests side hitting the engine, but the Bombardier doesn't last long at that close range and its driver is killed from RR fire.







The Slugfest after taking evasive actions and using HD smoke on auto to protect its right side. The Pisces has to shift to the Slugfests left which hasn't been touched. With dual mg's the Pisces starts to work on the Slugfests left armor, but is taking heavy fire.







The Pisces takes damage to its engine and catches on fire. It driver has only seconds to live. It then hits spikes, looses two tires, and spins while the driver burns to death

  2. Scenarios like this are the reason why I want to get into this game, it jsut looks so much fun!

    I wonder, do you use both a Turning Key and the grid? If so, why? I have seen people do it but I don't know why.
