Gwaihir posted:This is a different one of the three factions currently splitting clan society, but I don't remember which of the three it is. The Jade Falcons are Integrationists I believe. They like living in the Inner Sphere. The Wolves on the other hand are hardcore Crusaders who want to resume their drive towards Terra. Hense why Kristan here is trying to throw Clan Wolf under a bus by saying this idiocy was their fault. She wants the Inner Sphere to go push their poo poo in so the Crusaders stop being a problem and the Integrationists can focus on trying to build a nation instead of trying to keep the conquest crazed loonies in check all the drat time.

You call them, like, 'Smokescreen' or something

Yeah but Rorahusky posted:The Jade Falcons are Integrationists I believe. They like living in the Inner Sphere.

She's trying to martyr herself (and finally get that glorious death she hasn't gotten yet) in furtherance of her political aims. If this were an honor duel she'd call out the prince directly. She's telling the whole Galaxy that she's acting dishonorably under duress because of those mean crusaders. Actually killing Ian Davion is secondary to gaining her political goal.

OK, some strat talk: Reposting the map for new page. The annihilator can open an unholy can of whoopass on that Gyrfalcon #2 that rushed up like that. I'd fire full ultra on everything but the tracer shot, because you have 6es to hit I believe. The return fire from it's lasers, if it even shoots you, will barely tickle thanks to reflective armor. I'm considering diverting a VTOL to hit the AC20 carrier in the back after those crits, too. Only one of our VTOLs can get a rear shot on the Quasimodo, so I may as well spread the love around. A single hit on any of it's rear torsos will be another crit roll, and potentially take it's engine way over the line.

if you want to take a VTOL over behind the Quasi, Gwaihir, I'm happy to swing over to the side and keep plinking at it from there. We've got the mobility to be basically anywhere, but I still like the idea of having one of us maybe a little more central to keep PTN's maneuvering honest.

I'll take Aeron #3 to 3523 right behind the Quasimodo, and swing #4 in a loop to 3025 I think, to shoot the Grand Summoner in the back. I am at risk of having Joanna potshot me being at that close range, but she'd have to hang back to do that and I don't think she'll do that vs continuing to jump forward.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Maybe, but one of the recent prior updates had this same Star Commander saying that she very seriously desires to show these Inner Sphere chumps the meaning of Total War, didnt she? Nope. She's a Jade Falcon. They're the most integrationist Clan, and the one that's farthest "back" in the arrangement of the occupation zones. She's trying to frame the Wolves and other crusaders for this so that the Inner Sphere comes crashing down on them. Both to undermine the entire Crusader faction and because it would likely leave the Jade Falcons standing as the Clan that loses least due to the IS having to go through all the others first to even get to them properly.

Entirely different character. The pragmatist Galaxy Commander that dropped a shitload of Arrow IVs on the Nova Cats was/is a Smoke Jaguar.

Yeah, I think the best move is to use the VTOLs to harass from behind so they can't fall further back into the city. You forced the HBK forward last turn, which is a huge tactical win.

I was just thinking that it would be really bad if the main attacking units pushed forward and blocked the defenders off from the nuke.

Giant Spider Invasion 14 A smile split Joanna Hazen’s narrow face. A sharp, vicious smile, that matched her hard eyed stare. A child of one of the last sibkos raised before the invasion, her career had been one filled with remarkable successes—and equal disappointments. She’d lead the Falcon Guards to a half-dozen victories over the hated Steel Vipers and Widowmakers and even that hadn’t been enough to secure the Falcons’ place in the invasion of the Inner Sphere. The rest of the Clan had let her down time and time again, throwing away her hard-earned victories and hiding behind platitudes and next-times until there had been no more ‘next times.’ Even her attempts to earn a prestigious place at the forefront of the IlKhanate had been spoiled by over-timid leaders playing politics. For her victories, she’d been demoted to a mere Star Commander while meek failures had been groomed to lead. Joanna was done with it. Sick of it. Tired of working for the sake of a Clan that was blind to her efforts and too cowardly to seize the advantages she’d presented them with. Joanna was utterly and completely disgusted by the Jade Falcons’ and their myopic politicians. Their fates—the fate of her entire Clan—no longer concerned her. She’d been presented with an opportunity to die on her terms and she’d seized it. The rest of the Clan could rot in obscurity for all she cared, she’d done her part. All she cared about now was terrifying one final foe, of making these Inner Sphere warriors speak of her passing with awe and fear. An enemy Crusader broke through a cloud of smoke, opening fire on her with lasers and missiles. Heedless of her safety, Joanna casually swung her Grand Summoner around and cut it cleanly in half with a measured burst of her Autocannon. Most warriors would have been satisfied with that. For Joanna, it wasn’t near enough. For good measure, she brought her ‘Mech’s arms up and put two shots straight into the Crusader’s domed cockpit.

Wow some pretty poor luck on the defenders' side this turn. Those misses...

Tempted to go to 2317 and blast the Grand Summoner to try to ensure a kill. We have one more turn before we must start dealing with the Shrike. Summoner would have base 5 +1 (walk) +1 (my movement) + 2 (range) + 2 (smoke x 2) = 11 with the AC/20. 8s with the lasers. I’d have 3 +2 (run) +2 (Summoner movement) +2 (smoke) = 9 for missiles and 8s for the lasers.

The Falcons are moving much faster up than I expected tbh. Edit: I noticed that there have been a few primary targets not in LoS. Would secondary targets help? Artificer fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 20, 2020 |

OK, this turn I think all 4 of our VTOLs can swing around for rear arc shots on the Quasimodo. I think it's also really likely that Joanna will either shut down or lose her Mech this turn, but she can still rock out another UAC20 shot.

I think this clan lady is gonna go for broke and 360noscope someone else with that double tap

She has two engine hits and only 4 working heat sinks. She's gonna fire everything and supernova the machine.

All the opposing mechs alpha striking until they die heat related deaths to allow the survivor to fire the nuke would be the most  thing ever, I have to admit.
