Repossession 8 “Woah, took a bad hit there,” Glitch announced matter-of-factly as an enemy missile caught her already damaged leg. She wasn’t even phased by the damage, she’d taken worse hits in smaller ‘Mechs. With a perfunctory ease, she leveled the Vindicator’s Plasma Rifle at the spindly Taurian ‘Mech. Its head was shaped like a screaming skull. The designers no doubt intended that to intimidate pirates, but in Glitch’s eyes the lumpy, lopsided ‘Mech looked more like it had been designed by a young child. Dekker could’ve told her precisely what it was, but Glitch hardly cared. She depressed the firing stud and put a shot directly into the still-open missile bay, sending tongues clinging fire dripping down the ‘Mech’s chest. A moment later it staggered as its C.A.S.E. panels blew away and vented an entire ammo bin, which detonated in a flash a dozen or more meters behind it. Glitch scowled. A shot like that would’ve split an older design in half. Instead, she’d probably only succeeded in giving the pilot a migraine. As if on cue, the spindly light ‘Mech rushed further downfield, either attempting to cut her off or to rush down Clambake’s Jackrabbit. “Interesting,” Glitch breathed. “Can’t say I’ve ever faulted Taurian Mechwarriors for their guts; but I can’t help but wonder how much ammo you have left.”    Movement Phase SDR-17K Venom (Player) [Combat Intuition] - Fires Medium Laser at Shadow Hawk (3 base + 0 range + 1 movement + 2 enemy movement + 1 heat - 1 laser = 6): Rolled 9, hit Left Leg (9/16 armor remaining)! - Fires Medium Laser at Shadow Hawk (3 base + 0 range + 1 movement + 2 enemy movement + 1 heat - 1 laser = 6): Rolled 5, missed! - Gains 15 heat, sinks 19!

D'oh. Of course. My bad on that! It's an interesting board this turn. The Hasek and Shadow Hawk are really trying to cover each other, but the SH lacks most of it's range and jumped so it's med laser is it's biggest concern. I assume the building in 2215 would block LoS to the Hasek? (eg. if I was 2313)

2213 blocks LoS to all but the one Hasek. I could move there, but think it might be a better position for Stravag in his Tiburon. Where you thinking of moving this turn? If we can lure that jump infantry north this turn then get out of Dodge, we can make it a non-factor for a few turns. Could jump to 1317 and try to get some more rear crits against the Shadow Hawk. Does put me in min range for the PPC, but the commando will be in med/long range for it's SRMs. Shadow Hawk might turn to shoot it's laser too but I do have the option of making this a nimble jump if I feel I need to play it safe. Part of me really wants to jump to 1217 out of LoS to cool down and go for a better jump out next turn. Edit: I'm hitting the SH on 9's, the Hasek can PPC me on a 7 and there's a lot of bad what if's I'm looking at in that NE corner. The 1217 option gives a heavy middle finger to their plans, lets me cool completely (I want that -1 shooting penalty gone) and gives me plenty of good jump outs for next turn. Including supporting the south. Very tempted to go this route unless someone points out an option I missed. thiswayliesmadness fucked around with this message at 15:06 on May 24, 2021 |

I'd say cool off. I've let myself get into a bit of a pickle. I can't stay where I am, or go higher, so I gotta move. And so, I need advice on which of the two plans I'm thinking of. Jump to 1425 or 1724 and keep on the Cadaver. Another Cadaver option, that I think I can do, is DFA it. DFA idea could probably see me off the board, or at least missing a leg. There's also harassing the Locust flanking in, but I don't really like giving the SH an option on my back.

CoffeeQaddaffi posted:There's also harassing the Locust flanking in, but I don't really like giving the SH an option on my back. I'd be more concerned about the leg period than the backside per-se, given you have Laser Reflective Armor so it'd be down to location rolls matching up with the SRMs. The Locust could be an issue though, but so far we've managed with this focus method. Would not recommend the DFA however, since that means being Danger Close to the Cadaver's remaining weaponry. As for the other two jumps you mentioned? I'd double check with PTN to make sure 1425 is safe from the southern Hasek first, but I think you have enough cliffside to LoS block. But better to be sure than to assume. If so, I think that is strictly better than 1724 as a result as it gives more pivot options IMO? Too bad that's not one hex further for a bit more safety move mod. Speaking of the Cadaver, I'm eyeing 2030 as a possible move-to option for the Jackrabbit. That doesn't look like it will get me rear arc eyeballing it, and sadly it's the wrong side arc to defang the Cadaver more thoroughly, but it would put me within the range shadow of the more southerly Hasek while also getting more distance from the Locust. Granted, the Haseks have pulled a PPC hit on a 10+ literally just this turn, but I could risk it. Even if I can't get hits on the juicy holes opened up, the SRM-4 could get lucky and ping off the cockpit again, which gives a chance of a harder Forced Withdrawal check. Stravag posted:Commando time? I can do a big u turn run and come up in its rear arc and punch and melee I can't see a reason not to, since I think you also manage to be in the northern Hasek's range shadow as a result. Might be worth if you can cripple the Commando. Anyone see an issue with that plan? Because otherwise godspeed with plan punchybot!

CoffeeQaddaffi posted:I'd say cool off. Depending on where you jump to, you'd likely have the hills between you and the Shadow Hawk. 1425 is fairly safe but won't give you much of a move mod. A DFA could drop you point blank for it's machine guns and/or break your leg so I'd advise against. Stravag posted:I was going to run to 1812 to melee pulse laser and srm the commando in the back Just be aware it's got laser reflective armor vs your lasers. 1812 also puts you in range of the SH, both Haseks, and lets the infantry shoot your rear (though at long range). Edit: I just noticed the locust is -crap- for heat management. It can run and fire both mediums at max heat. Any small laser fire starts to heat it up. A lot.

I can run a big circle around that L1 building and end up in 2213. PTN says I'll probably have LoS to that Hasek, so can fire both mediums and still drop 3 heat (losing that -1 shooting penalty). I can hit it's rear on 6's while the SH has 11+ with its missiles and Hasek's PPC has me well in minimum range. This will mean I can't support the south as well next turn; Likely Stravag and I will need to clean up the Shadow Hawk and any survivors from our attack instead. Still possible for me to dash/jump south to help, but not as much. Ronin Of Dreams posted:Speaking of the Cadaver, I'm eyeing 2030 as a possible move-to option for the Jackrabbit.

My route involves me passing through 1614 and 1611 for Max movement its a risk but it's minimums i think. Also i think im out of range if the SHs srms right? Those are all it has left because it forgot the lrm at home and we blew up its ac5?

You'd be 7 hexes away so it can torso twist and tag you with it's laser (3 gunnery + 3 jump + 3 your mov mod -1 laser) on 8 and missiles on 11's.

If you put a 'Mech in the exact center of a hexagon-shaped play area, the 'Mech's front arc would take up exactly 1/3rd of the playable space. Every other arc is ever so slightly smaller.

I've a feeling firing the Pulse Lasers is more of a critseek thing thanks to Fist Fire rather than a care about the armor. Though do we know if using FF means the Punch hits first then the weapons or vice-versa? All that and Stravag can cool that Tiburon down to set up an alpha next round. Also, if the Cadaver can go down via dice luck, willing to move up and help handle the Commando next round. Good armor matchup for me if I draw its fire. Forced Withdraw is not valid on the Mechs for victory, sadly. Something we need to keep in mind with a more likely result with the Cadaver at this rate. That said, these Haseks are remaining a PITA...hmmm. PTN, when we call for a Crushing Extraction, it takes effect that round correct? No delay?

Repossession 9 Blood trickled down Alexandria’s side. She’d been tagged by a piece of shrapnel when a squad of Taurian infantry had opened fire on her—it hurt like hell, which was a good sign. It probably hadn’t hit anything vital. The new-model cockpits also didn’t require Mechwarriors to circulate toxic coolants through rubberized tubes right next to their skin. Modern ‘Mechs simply ran too hot to vent any exhaust into the pilot’s space, modern cooling jackets had to deflect that heat away from the cockpit to keep from cooking the Mechwarrior alive. Alexandria had worn a flak vest, which was typical of modern Mechwarriors. A few of the old cooling tubes remained—as a last resort, if the life support failed, she could connect herself to the ‘Mech’s cooling system and survive as long as she didn’t push her heat out of the blue section of the heat scale. “No infantry, huh Darius?” She muttered to herself. The Taurians didn’t skimp on their infantry training and equipment—at least, not for their regular units. Their militia was still as rough as anyone else’s, but as a general rule Taurians knew how to shoot and they drilled like hell until anyone who couldn’t reached a reasonable standard. They weren’t DEST or Death Commandos, but if Alexandria had been forced to take a platoon of regular infantry into battle she’d probably have chosen Taurian-trained troops for the task. She took a moment to spray a liquid bandage on her side and, satisfied she wasn’t likely to bleed out in the next ten minutes, brought her Tiburon around behind the Taurian Commando. The little ‘Mech was occupied, its pilot hunting for Dekker’s Spider. It barely had time to twist and snap a shot her way with its small laser. Alexandria caught its right bicep in the Tiburon’s pincer-shaped hand and squeezed. The Sea Fox export looked spindly and its fingers were only barely articulated, but the myomer that powered the hands was shockingly strong. Armor buckled and collapsed as Alexandria tried to crush the Commando’s upper arm actuator. She fired as the Commando twisted again to try to shake her off. Her missiles spread wildly, but a pulse from her anti-infantry lasers found the hole an SRM had blown in the Commando’s back and slipped through. Whether it was the laser or the missile itself, something touched off the Commando’s SRM ammo. The Lyrans had designed the Commando as a cheap but dangerous scout, with enough firepower to discourage other light ‘Mechs from getting too close and enough speed to outrun anything it couldn’t intimidate. Unfortunately for the Taurian, deterrence only helped until you took an actual hit, and the Commando’s designers hadn’t been able to squeeze C.A.S.E. protection into it. New machines and modern ammo bins were better able to withstand an ammunition explosion than older designs had been; but the blast was still enough to blow the Commando’s entire side off leaving Alexandria holding the smaller ‘Mech’s severed arm.

Player Status:     OpForce Status:   Special Rules - Marksman SPA: When a unit with the Marksman remains stationary and fires a single weapon that does 10 damage or less, a successful attack always results in an automatic Through-Armor Critical chance. - Human TRO: A unit with the Human TRO SPA automatically identifies enemy units in Line of Sight, if their identities and capabilities would normally be hidden. Once per game, a Mechwarrior with the Human TRO SPA may specify a single weapon. An attack made with that weapon that successfully strikes an enemy target scores an automatic Through-Armor Critical chance. - Combat Intuition: A unit with Combat Intuition automatically resolves all of its shooting attacks in the movement phase. Enemy units that do not also have Combat Intuition suffer the effects of these attacks immediately. A unit with Combat Intuition may voluntarily choose to delay their attack to the normal shooting phase. - Melee Specialist: A unit with Melee Specialist applies a -1 bonus ToHit with all melee attacks. - Fist Fire: A unit with fist fire receives a -1 bonus ToHit with all point-blank weapon attacks, and may include all arm-mounted weapons with the Melee tag during the attack. - Sniper: A unit with the Sniper SPA reduces the ToHit penalty for medium range by 1, and the ToHit penalty for long range by 2. - Crushing Extraction: Once per game, any player may call on Langton for extraction. The player calling to withdraw chooses a target hex for the Hysteria to land in. If a unit occupies the designated hex, it will be instantly destroyed when the Hysteria lands. Players may only extract from hexes adjacent to the Hysteria. Orders Due: Any Time On Saturday! PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 04:50 on May 27, 2021 |

That rear attack practically tore the commando in half. And you get a free club with every purchase! Nice! We're looking pretty beat up (Ow. PPC to center torso) but still in fighting condition and giving back twice as hard as we're taking it. I could evac and crush the shadow hawk, but think I need at least another round of hits in so I'm not abandoning the Tiburon alone in the north. It's an odd board and I have options, but waiting to hear people's ideas for their moves first. Edit: I did a crit hit to the Shadow Hawk a few turns ago and it should have a hit to it's XL engine as well thiswayliesmadness fucked around with this message at 02:12 on May 27, 2021 |

PoptartsNinja posted:Through-armor critical chance in Right Torso: Rolled 9, 1 critical hit sustained!  Yessssssss. So two questions what exactly is the deal with the club? Is it more damage for me? And is 1816 -1 terrain or is it height 0? Edit: We could call in the dropship on the Shawk, im thinking of running a little south and putting some shots into the haseks side from around 2019. It will block fire from the commando at me and keep my tmm up. Or i can try a run in on the commando again for another round of rear shots on it. I kinda REALLY REALLY like the idea of beating the commando to death with its own arm Stravag fucked around with this message at 02:26 on May 27, 2021 |

1816 is height 0. Clubs are a melee damage boost, they're like a temporary hatchet. I only gave that to you because you happened to blow off the side connected to the arm you just punched.
