Community Event: Badlands Race

3, 5, 2

Using the nimbleness of the Quad to avoid the fallout of several collisions in this part of the track, #2 finds a gap and hits the throttle, keeping tucked in beside the the green Wastes Rover as they thunder round the tight left hander over the bridge.

(Move of 5, to square 9)

6, 6, 1

Red Racer #7 stuck in the middle of the pack swerves left in to racer #11 then right into #4 before trying to make an escape from the pack

#6 The Taurork Venatar puts the pedal to the metal smashing into #7 Red Racer before deftly overtaking the Quad to the take the lead on the bridge at stage 10!

Turn 2:
(Still no pics )

6 3 1

The Captain quickly regains his composure from being jostled and orders the driver to push on! (Another wasted 6!)

You can’t ram and then move?

 

[Stoof]

"6 = RAM! move 1 space and cause damage to one opponent already in that square"

I interpreted this as move then ram - so Cap's 6 took him from square 4 to square 5, and there was nobody in 5 to ram. But a couple of people since have used their rams during the moves and I don't think it'll make a big difference if it's used in the square you're in or the square you move to.

Yeah move first then ram, it should read:
"6 = RAM! move 1 space and then cause damage to one opponent already in that square"

 

[MedMos]

1, 2, 5.

#4 rolls on to square 7, building speed and on the lookout for another victim to ram...

If it's not too much hassle, could people post where they end up after all moves that day? Would make it easier to ascertain potential ramming attempts.

Iv been updating the fitst post as Iv been reading results, but it’s just unfortunate that the site won’t let me upload anything and I still don’t know why!?
I did update the map last night, but there’s no way to show it!

 

[Trafalgar Law]

Not just you. I tried to upload a picture to my album yesterday but it's just giving me an error.

Today's rolls of the bones! 3, 5, 2

With a deft kick to pedal the accelerator unjams and the Psycho 7 lurches forward!

 

[Punktaku]

Today’s roll is 2-2-6. So #11 shoots forward to space 9 and tries a pit maneuver on #2, but just bumps them instead.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Turn 3

The Captain watches the taurok venator overtake, thinks about the new dent in the rover and signals the crew to brace for impact!

6 2 4

The rover sideswipes the venator and draws his thumb across his neck as he catches the attention of the ork driver. The collision makes the rover lose momentum however.

No.10 waste rover grid 12

 

[Trafalgar Law]

Roight dat dus it... Gerrem!

3, 2, 6

The Venatar screams forward and attempts to ram the #10 Waste Rover, but misses as it's speed is just too great to hit the antique 4x4, leaving it's driver coughing dust as the Ork buggy vanishes into the distance to finish on space 16.

"Fer Gork's sake yu missed"

"But Boss da finish line is rite dere..."

"Where's da fun in just winning"

 

[Stoof]

3, 6, 3

#2 hits the cobbled together NITROHORGBLASTJUICE button to get away after recovering from a hit from #11 - with a gout of sickly green flame from the twin exhausts the Quad rockets forwards sprinkling small important looking parts as it goes. The rider thinks he looks manly but the vid picts for some reason show an idiot in a hazmat suit screaming in terror at the top of his lungs.

Nobody is there as he swerves around nearly losing control in sector 13* before re-stabilising to make it up beside the Taurok Venatar before the NITROHORG canister coughs the last of its volitile mixture into the groaning engine.

Ending in Square 16 - it's going down to the wire!

(*wasted ram as nobody's there)

 

[MedMos]

2, 2, 5
Lumbering forwards, #4 reaches grid 11, with no ramming action... This machine is not quick enough to win by racing, we need to use the ram!

 

[Karandrassh]

3, 3, 3

#7 Red Racer's turbo kicks in flying off swerving the mayhem in front of him ending in square 16

 

[Pagumb]

6, 3, 2

No one left to ram in grid space 7 so RicHard cruises forward six spaces to square 12. Tries to remember how many laps are in this race.

 

[Punktaku]

Today’s rolls are 5-3-4. Which means little more than #11 driving forward to space 12, being left behind by the other racers.
