[QUOTE="Sarellion, post: 784149, member: 6254"] I killed my party in a GURPS game. It was an SF game and they attacked an alien (Kzin/Catpeople) raiding party looking for precursor artifacts. The kitties had mechas, we had a tank and a helicopter, accompanied by another tank or so. Our heroes attacked the kitties heads on and our pilot found out that his rockets were unable to damage the mecha, because of a anti missile system. So he flew nearer in 5 miles range to use lasers. Meanwhile the tank crew attacked with the main gun nearly knocking out the knee of the enemy mecha, but the coward hid it behind some rocks. So they too drove with full speed, blasting away. What our heroes did not kow was that the mecha had some short range missiles (not much fuel, engine or electronics, just a shaped charge warhead), creatively ripped of Battletechs LRM 20. Each mecha had 2 launchers with 20 missiles. Each missile only 6 pounds of weight. So tiny and harmless.... :p As our heroes came in range, the launchers opened and fired a hailstorm of 40 rockets at the chopper and the tank. Hm, the chopper could not evade and the tank just took. So lets see, that many rockets, so much damage rolled, shaped charge reduces effect of armor, ah 64000 points of damge...whoops :D Needless to say, nobody survived and the DM has been teased about it until this day. By the way, the commander ordered that the scout will be inside the tank, to be safe from enemy fire instead of driving around in stealth suit and stealthbike...she still says she could have survived :D [/QUOTE]
