Game 140: SplatZap! - Mission Debrief

Date/Location:

December 3064 / Great X, Arc-Royal Defense Cordon (Class B)


Great X Supply Depot, 20:00 Local Time


In a large warehouse, you gather quietly.  The interior is dark until a makeshift stage is illuminated by a spotlight attached to Cartman Parker’s UrbanMech.  Upon the stage, a coffin rests at an angle against a large wooden box and facing out towards you, allowing you to see the body of Phillip Madestro.


Cartman Parker, Drolan Blackridger, Juan Jungalo, and Paris Heinlein are gathered on the stage, facing out toward you.  Behind them, a handful of infantrymen stand flanking Madestro’s coffin.  Paris is the first to speak.


Paris:   Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!

Comets, importing change of times and states,

Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky,

And with them scourge the bad revolting stars

That have consented unto Henry’s death:

King Henry the Fifth, too famous to live long.

England ne’er lost a king of so much worth.


Drolan: England ne’er had a king until his time.

 Virtue he had, deserving to command;

 His brandished sword did blind men with his beams;

 His arms spread wider than a dragon’s wings;

 His sparkling eyes, replete with wrathful fire,

 More dazzled and drove back his enemies

 Than midday sun fierce bent against their faces.

 What should I say? His deeds exceed all speech.

 He ne’er lift up his hand but conquerèd.


Cartman: We mourn in black; why mourn we not in blood?

Henry is dead and never shall revive.

Upon a wooden coffin we attend,

And Death’s dishonorable victory
We with our stately presence glorify,

Like captives bound to a triumphant car.

What? Shall we curse the planets of mishap

That plotted thus our glory’s overthrow?

Or shall we think the subtle-witted French

Conjurers and sorcerers, that, afraid of him,

By magic verses have contrived his end?


Juan:   He was a king blest of the King of kings;

Unto the French the dreadful Judgment Day

So dreadful will not be as was his sight.

The battles of the Lord of Hosts he fought;

The Church’s prayers made him so prosperous.


Drolan: The Church? Where is it? Had not churchmen prayed,

 His thread of life had not so soon decayed.

 None do you like but an effeminate prince

 Whom like a schoolboy you may overawe.


Juan:   Gloucester, whate’er we like, thou art Protector

And lookest to command the Prince and realm.

Thy wife is proud; she holdeth thee in awe

More than God or religious churchmen may.


Drolan: Name not religion, for thou lov’st the flesh,

 And ne’er throughout the year to church thou go’st,

 Except it be to pray against thy foes.


Paris:  Cease, cease these jars, and rest your minds in peace!

Let’s to the altar.—Heralds, wait on us.—

Instead of gold, we’ll offer up our arms,

Since arms avail not, now that Henry’s dead.

Posterity, await for wretched years

When at their mothers’ moistened eyes babes shall suck,

Our isle be made a nourish of salt tears,

And none but women left to wail the dead.

Henry the Fifth, thy ghost I invocate:

Prosper this realm, keep it from civil broils,

Combat with adverse planets in the heavens.

A far more glorious star thy soul will make

Than Julius Caesar or bright—


Marion Zim enters stage left.


Marion: My honorable lords, health to you all.

 Sad tidings bring I to you out of France,

 Of loss, of slaughter, and discomfiture:

 Guyen, Champaigne, Rheims, Roan, Orleance,

 Paris, Gisors, Poitiers, are all quite lost.


Paris:  What say’st thou, man, before dead Henry’s corse?

Speak softly, or the loss of those great towns

Will make him burst his lead and rise from death.


Drolan: Is Paris lost? Is Roan yielded up?

 If Henry were recalled to life again,

 These news would cause him once more yield the ghost.



Cartman: How were they lost? What treachery was used?


Juan:   No treachery, but want of men and money.

Amongst the soldiers, this is mutterèd:

That here you maintain several factions

And, whilst a field should be dispatched and fought,

You are disputing of your generals.

One would have ling’ring wars with little cost;

Another would fly swift, but wanteth wings;

A third thinks, without expense at all,
By guileful fair words peace may be obtained.

Awake, awake, English nobility!

Let not sloth dim your honors new begot.

Cropped are the flower-de-luces in your arms;

Of England’s coat, one half is cut away.


Juan exits stage right.


Cartman: Were our tears wanting to this funeral,

    These tidings would call forth her flowing tides.


Paris:   Me they concern; regent I am of France.

Give me my steelèd coat, I’ll fight for France.

Away with these disgraceful wailing robes.

Wounds will I lend the French instead of eyes

To weep their intermissive miseries.


Bud Jujubee enters stage left with papers in hand.


Bud:    Lords, view these letters, full of bad mischance.

France is revolted from the English quite,

Except some petty towns of no import.

The Dauphin Charles is crownèd king in Rheims;

The Bastard of Orleance with him is joined;

Reignier, Duke of Anjou, doth take his part;

The Duke of Alanson flieth to his side.


Bud exits stage right.


Cartman: The Dauphin crownèd king? All fly to him?

    O, whither shall we fly from this reproach?


Drolan: We will not fly but to our enemies’ throats.—

 Bedford, if thou be slack, I’ll fight it out.


Paris:  Gloucester, why doubt’st thou of my forwardness?

An army have I mustered in my thoughts,

Wherewith already France is overrun.


Sandy San Diego enters stage left.


Sandy: My gracious lords, to add to your laments,

Wherewith you now bedew King Henry’s hearse,

I must inform you of a dismal fight

Betwixt the stout Lord Talbot and the French.


Juan: What? Wherein Talbot overcame, is ’t so?


Sandy: O no, wherein Lord Talbot was o’erthrown.

The circumstance I’ll tell you more at large.

The tenth of August last, this dreadful lord,

Retiring from the siege of Orleance,

Having full scarce six thousand in his troop,

By three and twenty thousand of the French

Was round encompassèd and set upon.

No leisure had he to enrank his men.

He wanted pikes to set before his archers,

Instead whereof, sharp stakes plucked out of hedges

They pitchèd in the ground confusedly

To keep the horsemen off from breaking in.

More than three hours the fight continuèd,

Where valiant Talbot, above human thought,

Enacted wonders with his sword and lance.

Hundreds he sent to hell, and none durst stand him;

Here, there, and everywhere, enraged, he slew.

The French exclaimed the devil was in arms;

All the whole army stood agazed on him.

His soldiers, spying his undaunted spirit,

“À Talbot! À Talbot!” cried out amain

And rushed into the bowels of the battle.

Here had the conquest fully been sealed up

If Sir John Fastolf had not played the coward.

He, being in the vaward, placed behind

With purpose to relieve and follow them,

Cowardly fled, not having struck one stroke.

Hence grew the general wrack and massacre.

Enclosèd were they with their enemies.

A base Walloon, to win the Dauphin’s grace,

Thrust Talbot with a spear into the back,

Whom all France, with their chief assembled strength,

Durst not presume to look once in the face.


Paris:  Is Talbot slain then? I will slay myself

For living idly here, in pomp and ease,

Whilst such a worthy leader, wanting aid,

Unto his dastard foemen is betrayed.


Sandy: O, no, he lives, but is took prisoner,

And Lord Scales with him, and Lord Hungerford;

Most of the rest slaughtered or took likewise.


Paris:  His ransom there is none but I shall pay.

I’ll hale the Dauphin headlong from his throne;

His crown shall be the ransom of my friend.

Four of their lords I’ll change for one of ours.

Farewell, my masters; to my task will I.

Bonfires in France forthwith I am to make,

To keep our great Saint George’s feast withal.

Ten thousand soldiers with me I will take,

Whose bloody deeds shall make all Europe quake.


Sandy: So you had need; ’fore Orleance besieged,

The English army is grown weak and faint;

The Earl of Salisbury craveth supply

And hardly keeps his men from mutiny,

Since they so few watch such a multitude.


Sandy exits stage right.


Cartman: Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn:

    Either to quell the Dauphin utterly

    Or bring him in obedience to your yoke.


Paris:   I do remember it, and here take my leave

To go about my preparation.


Paris exits stage right.


Drolan: I’ll to the Tower with all the haste I can

To view th’ artillery and munition,

And then I will proclaim young Henry king.


Cartman: To Eltham will I, where the young king is,

    Being ordained his special governor;

    And for his safety there I’ll best devise.


Cartman exits stage right.


Juan:   Each hath his place and function to attend.

I am left out; for me nothing remains.

But long I will not be Jack-out-of-office.

The King from Eltham I intend to steal,

And sit at chiefest stern of public weal.


Juan exits stage right.


The infantrymen hoist Madestro’s coffin and exit stage right.


After a short applause, you leave as quietly as you arrived.

Apologies everyone, this is a draft that was meant to be sent out later this afternoon after I had made some final adjustments.

I am still working on the spreadsheet, and you are getting paid a little more than originally described.  I'll confirm once the updates have been made.

I also don't see my ammo expenditures. Pretty sure that's all the repair/reload work needed for my cowards.

One more Q: Do we have to store ammo and reload Battle Armor squads, or do they auto-refill like standard infantry?

Until I find a good reason to keep track of that (maybe you load the SRMs with inferno rounds?) I would say they just automatically replenish like standard infantry.  I don't think the automation we have in play can support keeping track of it anyways--something to add to my project list for the spreadsheet I suppose.

Hey Thomas,

The arrival of your Stealth happens in January 3065 after the conclusion of turn 140, which takes place in December 3064.

That event will resolve in the post-game turn 141 which takes place in February 3065.  At that point you can take these actions as part of your management turn.
