Correct on the redirection from Tachyon.  I'm also out of town until Sunday, so I might be slow responding.

Seems like we're getting to the end game...  The last card in Omnitron's deck is Electro-Pulse Explosives, which Fanatic is set up to deal with.  I'm thinking a Lightspeed Barrage (for 9 damage) is more useful than Hypersonic Assault from Tachyon?

FYI, the environment deck shouldn't have played anything last turn as I threw down Adhesive Foam Grenade

 

Also, is it worth forgoing damage for a turn to get out Omni Cannon or should I just put down Flak Cannon and start firing?

The best damage I can come up with is Flak and Omni this turn, then next turn put the cards under, play external and then Turret mode and then fire flak and omni.

That's 25 damage to Omnitron I believe.

For the record, Fanatic only takes 3 damage from Omnitron, thanks to Undaunted.

Would you guys like me to throw down the Wrathful Retribution this round or next?  Next round means more damage overall, but if we need it now, I can easily use that for my play phase.  Otherwise, it's going to be Absolution.

Throw down retribution.  You don't want to miss the party.

If Fanatic is going to throw Retribution, than Bunker should forget what I said earlier and just do as much damage as you can now.

Next round I'm throwing Hunter and Hunted, eye on the prize and Terrible Tech Strike, and then a quick shot ends at 21 damage, 20 from Retribution this turn means the game ends on my next turn.

So Tach, Bunker and Wraith can do whatever they want with their turns, see how much damage you can pump out.

Always game for these, I really enjoy them.

Key moments of the game:

Fanatic blowing up everything with Last Days, we have two Fanatic fans in my group, but we've probably had one or two plays of Last Days, and I've never seen Omni go off like that, that was a crazy turn.  I imagine her yelling "You have been measured, and found wanting!" at the end as she unleashes and finishes Omni.

Tachyon's synaptic interruption, I imagine the explosive ticking down toward zero, then Tachyon runs up to it with a big grin like she's just had a great idea, and rewires it then chuckles as she watches it implode harmlessly.  Get that split-nano second of a Tachyon grin then zips off dodging giant laser beams.  Of course I imagine that Tachyon is having a lot of fun most fights, being the cleverest person in the room and fast enough to play around a bit.

Throat jabbing Omni:  I imagine Wraith having sneaked onto Omnitron and blowing up his targetting sensors, or maybe covering it with some wierd goop that interferes with it, making him impotent for a round while he repairs it.

Tachyon's Hypersonic I imagine her just running by and knocking all his guns to the side right before they fire, probably doing eenie meenie miney mo or something like that.

Other things I think happened during the fight.

I'm absolutely Certain that Tachyon makes phone calls during fights, like she makes a quip that causes her to want a pizza and so she orders one mid-fight, "And I mean extra pepperoni, not like last time, really pile it on.  Yeah, just look for the big broken robot, we'll be there."  Other calls would be to lab assistants to turn off esperiments or get the results of tests she's running, and sometimes calling home to tell her wife she'll be late, or asking what she wants for dinner, possibly stopping into a nice restaraunt to make a reservation as the people cower.  You know, stuff a super fast person could get away with.  This one being in a prison I can't imagine what the call would be, probably home.

I imagine Wraith being involved in a lot of attempted things that went wrong, I think she did the most damage to enviro-targets and it was melee. Bunker being pinned down when the drones were all out there, and Ranger Jim running on walkways yelling for people to stay out of his shot, and talking to Con about where he can go to cut Omnitron off when it moves.

I can definitely picture that Avengers-style moment with Chrono-Ranger standing atop a pile of broken drones, yelling, "Pile it on!" as Omnitron desperately tries to pull out that last Electro-Pulse Explosive and bring back all those drones.  Tachyon then zips back into the fray, Bunker starts unloading with the Flak Cannon, Wraith grapnels in after Tachyon, and Fanatic simply rises in the air, chanting in Aramaic...

We really unloaded that last round; a total of 50 damage or so.  I loved the Exorcism into the hillside.

I'm up for another.  BlueHairedMeerkat, would you rather have someone else run it so you have a chance to play?  I'd be curious to try running one.

I'm not so sure about this.  It was Team Leader Tachyon, who strikes me as a more mature person; she's now responsible for her whole team, and less likely to go off and order pizza.  Or, if she did order pizza, she made sure to get some for everyone.

Yeah, I forgot we had her, gah.  She's not as fun as regular Tachyon.
