Welcome to the first turn of Ork Assault!
All the rules and starting information is here : Ork Assault Rules.

Game Map
This is still only the first third... I didn't want to hold up the start of the game...

UPDATE 1 : @urbangladiator gets two kills straight up. What a rocket powered psycho! Great job!
UPDATE 2 : @pandorasbox also kills two straight up despite teleporting completely backwards... hopefully she's got all her teleportation oppsies out of the way.
UPDATE 3 : @happyme does some amazing burna-ing, taking down two guardsman:
Of course feel free to ask any questions, but let's get to it!
Okay if I move to M1 then toss the Krak Grenade 5 squares, would it hit that enemy and not happyme because it has a 4 square AOE around the spot it hits? Provided I rolled 3+ of course.

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 5.

Yes! But only if I don't blow up happyme!

Ahhh, I'm sorry, but you actually can't do that. @happyme is locked in close combat because they're in adjacent squares... and with all the struggling and grabbing and twisting and fighting, you can't throw a grenade into the midst of that chaos. You can't shoot (guns or grenades) into close combat. You can charge into close combat, or do a psychic attack... that's it really.

Well... 2 fleshies down, 5 to go !
Ms. Flames, what say you to my plan :)
We don't even NEED to roll many dice, now that I think about it.
Da Jump doesn't roll a dice, and neither does your burner.
There's just the Critical Failure chance of my head imploding, nothing to worry about !

Ahhhh.... about that... the burna rules have changed. A roll of 2+ is now required for each enemy in range.
Also... meh, you're at the starting line... exploding heads are all the rage at this point... there's literally no downside apart from the wasted action.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

K. Must have skimmed over that part.
Still 2+ is statistically likely, 3 times in a row, though, is
4/6 -> 2/3 (always simplify)
2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 12/27 = 4/9 = (~0.1111...)*4
=>> approximately 44.444....% chance of succes.
So a little less than 50/50 odds
Had to double check... mental maths isn't my speciality 😅

@happyme just strolled over herself... so you can probably just move yourself.
She does need to roll twice more to burn the guardsman, and if she fails she might need a bailout Da Jump, if you're into that kinda thing...

He could teleport a friendly ork in front of him... much like the Runtherder could bully his gretchin to stand in front of him.
Both players and enemies have to shoot the closest to them... hence cannon fodder being super useful.

Or, you know, teleport an ork just so at the entrance of a compound that the enemy has to charge to attack it.
Then take them out while they're busy with the "punching bag" XD

Seems I'm late to the party.
If I start at N2 and move South to N7, them flambey the 3 enemies in KLM, I'll be happy.
I'm not sure that I'll need to be teleported away from there any more, because there are no enemies nearby any more. Not sure if the enemy is able to teleport any of their minions to me because we don't have the entire map yet. Anyway, let's see if I succeed. @rollthedice!

I wouldn't be too stressed to be moved out of range. There is really only one guardsman in that section and @pbock, @justatouchfey and 5 friendly orks to move before that guardsman can attack you.

Hmm, honestly, I hadn't really thought this scenario through... the burna can be used in close combat ... but @happyme didn't declare a charge (which might make the burna overpowered again)... this also affects whether anyone else can shoot that guardsman now.
I'm going to have to research whether adjacent squares is close combat even without a charge.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Okay @pandorasbox and @happyme. I've done some research and this is what I've determined:
So, in this instance... the combat still worked out as rolled... but @happyme is now locked in close combat... which means others can't shoot that guardsman, but they can charge him.
I've updated the rules to reflect this research. Thanks for thinking up new and exciting scenarios... each game will be improved on the last.

Haha yes there's so many hooks and angles to these things! Thanks for clarying this.
Maybe @pbock can mindblow the enemy, or @justatouchfey can charge it.
Also, interestingly I just realized that @urbangladiator is in a world of hurt when those big guns in the lower right corner are going to shoot him... maybe @pbock needs to teleport him to safety instead, I think he's out in the open?!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah, I've already done a LoS test for @urbangladiator and only one Heavy Bolter can see him... but yes, I'd be nervous.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Ok, sorry.. I am already thinking a few moves ahead and I just came up with another question...!
Those big guns in the lower right and lower left corner are standing side by side behind the sandbags. Suppose I charged one of them, and then slay it. Afterwards I will be diagonally opposed to the other one, and while I am directly next to it I won't be in close combat with him and he'll instead blow me to smithereens? That seems like a bitter pill for courageously slaying one. I kind of wish diagonal melee were possible too
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Ah... you actually can't charge over the sandbags or concrete walls... you can only go around.
Since those two Heavy Bolter guardsman are insulated where they are.. you won't be able to charge them... you'll have to instead shoot them, rokkit pack into them, grenade them or psychic attack them.
Diagonal close combat is allowed... it just hasn't come up before. You can't move diagonally, but you can shoot and be in close combat diagonally. You can't charge diagonally. Except, though, when a wall is in the way.
The Painboy for example, could charge the wall... destroy it and then be in close combat next turn.

I think my "teleport one of them to us" plan would work nicely then, if they themselves CAN'T get out we just need to be just outside range :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Alright! Haha, there goes my plan of teleporting myself into close combat with them! I guess my kustom blaster will have to do it.
But in the painboy example wouldn't be first punch the wall, then spend a turn getting shot at, before he'd be able to close the distance to get into close combat?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I mean... the kustom blaster is pretty mad guns. You could teleport within range and possibly take them both out without too much trouble.. unless you roll averagely. Okay, it might be big trouble if you didn't get them both.
You're right if the Painboy was busting through a brick wall... but since the sandbag wall doesn't take a square to itself.... if the Painboy does bust through, then he's in close combat with one of them because they're adjacent... and while there is still a sandbag wall inbetween him and the other Heavy Bolter, they can't shoot into close combat nor charge him cos the wall is in the way. Tricky, hey.

Since the burna has a range of 3 squares, and hits all enemies in it's range, you actually get 2 more attacks... The guardsman in M7 is unharmed but you can still wound K7 and L7 on subsequent rolls...

What about adding numbers/letters to the squares?
then instead of saying "I move S, S, W, S, W, S"-etc. we can just say 'I move to 10-B', just like in chess games?

Friendly Ork turn:
4 of the friendly orks just move around, all set to take out the Guardsmen next turn if need be.
1 of the slugga boyz charges the last remaining guardsman.
He has two melee attacks from his slugga. One at 3+ because of the +1 modifier for charging and +1 for additional combatant, and the remaining one at 5+.

Imperial Guardsman turn.
No guardsmen will move at this point.
Both of the Heavy Bolter Guardsman can see @urbangladiator and are within the 12 square range of the weapons.
Both get 4 shots since neither moved. So, 8 shots at 3+ to wound. @urbangladiator has 3 wounds.

I think we need to employ my Teleportation idea to make sure we don't get murdered by those Big Guns.
Basicl'y I move within LoS but NOT within range, and Teleport one of them out of cover and in range of 2-3 of you guys (and all the friendly orks, just in case) so we can eliminate them.
The voices in my head assure me this is likely to bring death to the humans !
