Yeah, you only stop playing if every unit you're controlling is killed; although if you are taken out and feel like you can't keep up with the thread, you can pass her off to someone.

Tempest_56 posted:I disagree. Over range 15, they're packing a potential 49 damage, most of it in 10 point clusters. At the same range, we're packing 50 damage, most of it in 5 point clusters and 60% of it invested in LRMs that will usually hit for half as much. Additionally, they're better armored than we are - remember the Rifleman is less durable than most mediums and the Lancelot has an XL engine. Oh, and we're heavily limited by ammo, they're not. A range duel is a losing proposition for us. We get an advantage once we're inside 15 hexes, and get a HUGE advantage once we're within 9. We need to get close and maul them. The range difference isn't that great because the fight won't be a long range for long enough for the difference to be felt (we have to advance to save the hostages). The catapult, wolverine, and hunchback all match or better the warhammer in armor and the lancelot doesn't have any ammunition to worry about. The rifleman is down on armor but all its armor is biased towards the front so it can hold its own. Tempest_56 posted:You are sorely, sorely underestimating conventional armor. Vehicles are extremely random with how useful they are due to their crazy crit/immobile rates. If PTN's dice throwing keeps up then they won't last very long.

She ain't no pass around girl, oh no you don't go implying such. I'm calling your mother right now young man. Listen, all the speculating right now is useless without terrain for all we know it maybe a long range fight that our little close rangers have to rush to get into position or a bunch of buildings that mean it is a lot easier to get around in. I'm saving my crazy-rear end-half-informed-opinion to myself until i see a map with some hexs on it.

That does have some truth - the dice luck so far has been pretty freaky. Still, there's a lot of vehicles out there that can be mighty threatening when used properly. Hovertanks may have been neutered, but I still remember what a hunter pack could do to a mech.

With our average gunnery skill and front biased armor on the rifleman and hunchback a few VTOLs could seriously be annoying. VVV Welp, they got a missile(SRM) carrier. That's one of the vehicle types I mentioned earlier as being actually painful. There's enough trees that a long range engagement can be pretty much avoided with some careful positioning so things are still looking pretty good.

Hostage Situation: Tactical Update 1 “Vindicator ahead,” Clueless said coolly, all business now that things had gotten serious. Annie frowned, the Capellans were patrolling. That wasn’t good. “Let’s light ‘em up, bunny bear,” she whispered, giving her faded pink teddy a hug for good luck. “If they’ve hurt any of the kids, we’ll make them pay.” Engine Joe coughed into the mic. “Someone want to bait ‘em? Draw that loving potbellied Vindicator into a fuckin’ trap maybe? How ‘bout you, Bobby?” The Navajo Wolf growled into his microphone by way of response. Annie couldn’t tell if it was assent or if he was off to do something else. “Just keep ‘em clear of us, ese,” Cortez called over the radio. He’d rounded up about half the astechs, ‘Mechwarriors waiting for repairs, and really anyone standing around with a Caballero unit patch. Most of them he’d set to defend the repair bay—the Capellans would love to hit a bunch of broken down ‘Mechs, but the rest he’d organized into a makeshift infantry squad. For all his confidence that the astechs hated him, they were still La Familia. They’d follow him into hell for those kids.

For the vehicles: The SRM Carrier is loving scary if you let it fire. Take that thing out at range or eat upwards of 60 missiles. The Zhukov packs a pair of AC/10s. Can really hurt you at any range. It also packs an SRM-6 for close range. The Goblin has a single large laser. Annoying, but a comparably lesser threat. It also packs a machine gun for anti-infantry duty. The APC is no threat to your mechs, but keep wary if it nears your infantry. 6 Machine guns will decimate infantry. As was previously stated many times, vehicles tend to die really fast with the way they take crits. Just don't brush them off as a non-threat, as the SRM Carrier and the Zhukov can wreck your day if you let them. They are also all fairly slow, so no crazy Hovertank speeding across half the map in this one. On the plus side, the enemy mechs are really spread out. You should be able to isolate and overwhelm them, given their lack of speed. KnoxZone fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Feb 3, 2011 |

okay guys going to have to have the close in guys use the hills/valleys and trees to get up close and fast and stay out of LOS, the long range i would suggest camping near 0914 and shooting into them as much as possible... right around now i would do a map on what mean but i think everyone has a good idea what they want to do and it is just my 2 cents.

Okay, initial tactical analysis - we've actually got good cover right now. I'm going to head for about where D4 currently is to get a clear firing lane. Right now D4 is overextended and we might be able to take it out before anything else can come up to support. Also, I'm considering setting some trees on fire for smoke cover - opinions, team?

The best way to take out vehicles is via cluster hits immobilizing them, so I'd suggest that the Catapult concentrate on slamming LRMs into the SRM carrier when it can get good shots off and it's somewhere far enough away that you can disable its movement and ignore it. The Wolverine also has a SRM-6 which is murder on vehicular motive systems, and side/rear attacks make it easier to cause vehicular motive damage. Missile carriers tend to have thin armor though, so a penetrating kill is probably possible. I would take it out before it can close to firing range if at all possible, because that thing will murder you if it gets off more than one or two salvoes.

I endorse BURNING IT ALL DOWN in any situation no matter how counterproductive, as people who play megamek with me can attest. The SRMs are your most effective kill for the vehicles. The LRM-5 should get heavy use in clearing out, say, the SRM carrier; I'd like the Catapult to reserve its limited ammo for harder targets.

That high point at 1506 is going to be a hell of a firing position for the Capellans, you're going to want to move the Sapper out of there asap so he doesn't get stomped on first turn. 0104 and 0303 aren't bad either, I'd guess the Warhammer and Cataphract will position themselves on either side to hold the flanks and cut you down if you go up the center.

Magni posted:That's an urban myth. For one, the Geneva Conventions only regulate proper treatment of prisoners of war. And NATO never had a ban of classic flamethrowers as much as that they became redundant on the modern battlefield. After all, nobody ever had problems with the continued use of napalm, white phosphorus and funny toys like the M202 Flash incendiary rocket launcher. Nowadys, it's getting evne more fun with thermobaric weapons. Going back to this, the UN actually passed a resolution to at the very least ban incendiary bombs and grenades. The US just told them to go piss up a rope. Which is fine, sometimes you have to kill it with fire. As for the battle itself: I think you guys should all move into the open and the shut down so they can't see you. If you hear PPC fire melting through your armor, it's probably just the wind. If the Death Commandos are smart, they'll have rigged the hostage buildings with explosives, and then "abandon" them as the space mexicans advance. Then drop the building on the hostages killing them all. It's what the real Death Commandos would do.

Okay, right off the bat I'm going to have Lady Death do the thing that makes a 50% chance of no hostages getting capped (you changed the rules on me so I don't remember which it is any more). As for my mech..I'm thinking I want to just keep moving forward to be able to take some potshots at that..What is D4, the Blackjack?...While staying in cover as much as I can. I'm going to take a pounding as I move forward, I can tell that right now. This is a very long map we're going to have to move up. I dunno, it's been a very long time since I did any of this, and I'm really rusty. Ideas, folks?

I would say 1416 and 1417 and that bend is a good solid position to use during your advance, cover by trees and by hills. Sure it increases the likelyhood of headshots but... its a risk im willing to take.

It wouldn't take that long to rig explosives to kill all the hostages though, and wreck most of the lower levels of the building in case any opposing infantry had made it in. They could rig an anti-hostage bomb (which would preferably be around a structural area to start with so it would do double duty) in maybe 5-10 minutes. If you seriously play the Death Commandos as having no backup plan for killing all the hostages if the battle starts going south for them, I'll be very disappointed. Their entire deal is being heartless, predatory bastards to start with.

They didn't bring explosives, it was in their other pants.

Zaodai posted:It wouldn't take that long to rig explosives to kill all the hostages though, and wreck most of the lower levels of the building in case any opposing infantry had made it in. They could rig an anti-hostage bomb (which would preferably be around a structural area to start with so it would do double duty) in maybe 5-10 minutes. They're spoiler spoiler spoiler, I'm not going to have a conversation in black text so you'll just have to wait and see

Okay, I don't see a lot of things I can do immediately. So - my plan is thus: SS advances to 0225. No fire this turn. Should things stay about the same, next turn I'll be moving up to 0220, then to 0618. That'll give me good position to start covering the central area while keeping the woods around 0610 as cover from the WHM/CTF/Zhukov. There's really no chance of me getting a reasonable bead on D4 this turn - best case I'm still long range and firing through woods.

I didn't expect to be let in on the secret prior to it happening. I wouldn't want the surprised ruined from an LP perspective, even for myself. I'm just saying, if they say "Oh golly gee, you beat us good, Space Mexicans.", shake hands and walk away, I'm going to be pissed.

PoptartsNinja posted:They just took the building like, three minutes ago. It takes a LOT of time to rig enough explosives to destroy a building. Sure, that's just what you'd like us to belive. WE'RE ON TO YOU.
