Playtest - Tawantinsuyu Confederation vs. Orinoco League

I took 30 minutes and hacked around with a short action just get a feel for the ratings of some of the units.

I pitted a an Orinoco League Oliphant class planetary monitor against a section of Tawantinsuyu Confederation Assault lance with two Gadling Mejor combat walkers.

This was a real hack - no terrain to speak of - just roll some dice and see what happens. 

It took three game turns to resolve. The Tawantinsuyu Confederation held the initiative the entire game and used bounding overwatch to move into flanking positions against the Oliphant. 

But all for nought. The Tawantinsuyu Confederation Assault Lance was eliminated while the Oliphant took minor damage to the starboard MG array (no real loss in a game with no infantry). At least the Gadling's pilot's survived the experience. With no infantry around to capture the crews, they likely exfiltrated back to their baseline. Thought the shame of losing their walkers will adversely effect their morale in the future.

As is often the case, the dice gods hated one side - the Oliphant never won initiative and never won a reaction check. Its active point defense failed three times out of four. Only the heavy armor kept it from being destroyed.

Interesting mix. The ATGM are good enough to score hits against the deck armor - if they can get past the active point defense and the countermeasures. Conversely, the guns had some difficulty penetrating the heavy armor on the Oliphant and the Gadling's.  

I suspect the Oliphant would have had a tougher time against a full Assault Lance of 2 Gadling's in addition to the Gadling Mejor walkers.
