Orders in. Running to 1411 facing 1410, dumping the AC/10 and Heavy Laser into the Hound and then kicking it for good measure. Edit: awesome news about Bethany Cochrane on previous page. Get it? Awesome news?

I wonder how confused they are by being able to set fires as part of some Steiner Rules duel.

SpookyLizard posted:if you can you should share the entry you submitted in the thread. Sadly, it's pretty basic, there wasn't actually a field for backstory, just a notes tab with some restrictions so about all I could say was that she was an analyst with the Watch and thrown in a character quote. Which was: "You can not just march to Tharkhad and demand a trial of possession for all of the Commonwealth's secrets. The Watch must be subtle." Edit: Time to find out if Shara Ishvalda's theme hates the players as much as Namielle's did. Double Edit: The Glory is such a fucker. Unless the Annihilator one-turns someone I have a feeling it's earning OpForce MVP. Triple Edit: Oh, good. The Dice have decided I get my second reinforcements lance.

Giant Spider Invasion 7 “I don’t enjoy it. Alternative history just isn’t for me.” “Oh, c’mon, Vick.” Leutnant Galena Rausch waggled a tablet Victoria’s way, putting the tiny ballroom-dancing figures on the screen through an unnoticed earthquake. “It’s a ton of fun, if you’ll give it a chance.” “Yeah, I’m sure it is,” Victoria’s voice practically dripped with doubt. “But the triumphs and tribulations of some nonsense Steiner-Davion family just make me feel sick to my stomach. My mother and Hanse Davion? No thank you. Galena, you can keep Royals’ Glory a Thomas Hogarth production, I’ll stick to Solaris fights. I hear the Cloud Cobras have a Steiner cadre that’s looking really promising this year.” “An entire training cluster of your cousins,” Jacob Bannson smirked. Son of a minor shipping magnate, like most of the ‘soldiers’ in Victoria’s command he was just serving out his mandatory conscription. Jacob was handsome enough, but in Victoria’s head he’d become the archetypal used hovercraft salesman. He had no qualms about lying to anyone if it helped him make a quick buck, even himself. His green eyes settled on Victoria’s. “Must be nice to be able to call half the Inner Sphere your family.” “Oh, gently caress off Bannson,” Victoria leaned back in her chair. “I’m about as closely related to the Cloud Cobra Steiners as you are to an actual human being.” “Don’t be like that, Hauptmann,” Galena cautioned, trying to head off the inevitable Circle of Equals. It wasn’t necessary, Bannson was a coward, he valued his looks more than his pride. He’d never let a little verbal sparring come to blows. Victoria was about to call him out for it when a distant rumble shook the floor beneath her. “Earthquake?” Galena asked, as Bannson poked his head out the barracks door for a look. Victoria stood, making for the door herself, only to have him pull it closed. Face pale, Bannson swallowed. “You don’t want to go out there, Vick.” He sat heavily, blocking the door with his body. Victoria Steiner-Lestrade smashed a booted foot into the doorframe beside his head. “You got a deathwish? Why the hell not, Bannson?” The redhead ran his fingers through his hair, disheveling his carefully-sculpted coiffure in a way not even small arms training and regular neurohelmet usage had managed. The coward hadn’t even flinched when she’d kicked at his head. His green eyes rose, pupils wide with shock. “There’s a mushroom cloud over Curitiba.” He said, matter-of-factly. Her blood ran cold. Grabbing him by his off-duty uniform lapels, she hoisted him off the floor and tossed him onto one of the barracks bunks. She turned to address the other soldiers in her conscript company. “I don’t know what’s going on, but everyone suit up. We’re going to the ‘Mechbay and we’re heading to the capital for combat patrol or disaster relief—” The door opened behind her. Interrupted, she turned, then saluted as Star Colonel Bhatar Quong squeezed his massive bulk through the door. The Elemental warrior returned her salute in Clan fashion, but affixed Victoria with his gaze. “Stand down for now and wait for further orders, Mechwarriors. Effective immediately, Leutnant Galena is being promoted to unit commander on a provisional basis. Victoria, if you will please come with me.” She bristled. Victoria owed the Clans her very existence. Fearful that his children would share his Hypochondroplasia, her father had asked the Clans to ensure Victoria was born healthy and strong. They’d performed genetic therapy on her in the womb, eliminating all chances of her inheriting her father’s condition, but she’d always suspected they’d done more than just that. She was faster and stronger than either of her parents, and was healthy enough that her conscription had been for BattleMech service, unlike the infantry conscription her mother had been forced into. She knew Bannson called her an Inner Sphere Trueborn behind her back, and it was a hard point to argue with. She loved a good fight, and hated being told ‘no.’ She swallowed down her pride, letting reason dull the edge from her temper. “May I ask what’s going on, Star Colonel?” “It is just a precaution, Highness.” Quong replied evenly. “You have my word: you will know more when we do but for the time being, your safety has become of paramount importance.”  PTN’s note: I forgot to export the player movement map, sorry everyone!

Units with ‘Die Hard’ that withdraw or are otherwise forced off the map are captured by the enemy. SPA: Blood Stalker A unit with Blood Stalker may chose a target at the start of a turn. Receive a -1 bonus ToHit that target, and a +1 penalty to hit all other targets until the selected target is defeated. SPA: Demoralizer Instead of making a weapon attack, a Demoralizer may make an opposed test (Piloting vs. Guts) against one unit within 10 hexes. If the target fails the test, it enters forced withdrawal. SPA: Cluster Hitter +1 to cluster table rolls. A unit with cluster hitter may remain stationary to make an aimed attack with cluster table weapons. If the attack is successful all shots from the cluster attack strike the same location SPA: Hot Dog -1 bonus to avoid automatic shutdown due to heat SPA: Dodge +1 evasion bonus vs. melee attacks SPA: Tactical Genius Swift advice grants 1 allied unit ACE status as long as this unit is on the field and capable of communication. SPA: Antagonizer Instead of making a weapon attack, an Antagonizer may make an opposed test (Piloting vs. Guts) against one unit within 10 hexes. If the target fails the test, it engages the Antagonizer instead of its declared target. SPA: Sandblaster A unit with Sandblaster gains a +2 bonus to the cluster hit roll SPA: Serene Grace A unit with Serene Grace moves so precisely it expands its firing arc by one increment. It can fire front weapons into the arm arcs, and arm weapons into the rear arcs before taking a torso-twist into account. SPA: Melee Specialist A melee specialist receives a -1 bonus to hit in Melee SPA: Forward Observer A forward observer may spot for indirect fire and attack a target in the same turn with no penalty Tactical Network Computer The TacNet Computer is a targeting computer than gains abilities the more units there are attached to the network. At 1-2 functioning units, a TacNet Computer provides no benefit. At 3-4 functioning units, a TacNet Computer functions as a basic targeting computer. At 5-6 functioning units, a TacNet Computer functions as an advanced targeting computer. Additionally, networked units receive a non-stacking -1 Crossfire bonus to hit any unit another member of their network has already attacked. Shattered Armor Undamaged sections of shattered armor resist all damage types. Damaged shattered armor functions as laser reflective armor, resisting energy damage. Unstable Armor Undamaged sections of unstable armor resist all damage types. Damaged unstable armor functions as kinetic resistant armor, resisting kinetic damage. Explosive Armor Undamaged sections of explosive armor resist all damage types. Damaged unstable armor functions as ablative-reactive armor, resisting explosive damage. Molten Armor Undamaged sections of molten armor resist all damage types. Molten armor regenerates damage as the carrying ‘Mech’s heat rises. At 6 points of heat, a ‘Mech with molten armor regains 1d6 armor in a random damaged location. At 16 heat, a ‘Mech with molten armor regains 1d6 armor in all damaged locations. At 26 heat, a ‘Mech with molten armor regains 6 armor in all damaged locations. A ‘Mech with molten armor does not gain bonus heat dissipation and cannot fully restore damaged armor, but has a chance to regain armor even if all the armor on a section is depleted. ECM Mode: Reinforcements Disruption As long as the Cobalt Tarantula remains within 6 hexes of an undamaged Disruption Pylon, enemy reinforcements are prevented from entering the map. Orders Due: Any Time On Saturday!

berryjon posted:It`s Battletech. The PBI are a safe (but not SAFE) military posting for the most part as they're not expected to do, you know, planetary invasions like MechJockeys. Many of them are; Lyran combat doctrine is to attach between 3-8 regiments of infantry and armor to mech regiments when they go to invade. It's dumb regardless, though, because if you're that worried about her health, put her in the Department of the Quartermaster so she can hang out with her cousin Lisa.

evilmiera posted:How soon until you can start blasting the target? I think Narsham can reach 1707 this turn, getting most of their guns on the target. Would not advise saving the rocket launchers, decent chance there isn't a turn 9 for them with 300 tons of whoop rear end all at medium range. It's less a plan and more a desperate throw of the dice but idk what else you've got.

Black Heart: I'm planning on moving to 2316. I'm on 11s on my Gauss so not really worth it. If someone else is firing on the BM first, my Gauss will be on 10s which is only a 30% chance to score any damage.
