You guys are over thinking things. Just go power down in the trees somewhere and let the Goshawk (sorry, Vapor Eagle is a dumb as gently caress name and I will use the IS designation for this obscenely broken mech) kill everyone. :colbert:

Also, in case Goontrinary hasn't noticed, you seem to have lost LoS on the unknown assault mech to the north this turn, due to it being a blind game. You may want to try to get LoS to it this turn before it can use its Void Sig to go all Hidden on you.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Affi posted:

Get up melee close with the Excalibur and unload everything! It won't live to use any potential melee attacks.

Yeah, it pretty much looks like the current consensus choice for the thread is to take out the Excalibur by walking up to right behind it and unloading everything, though maybe not close enough for a melee attack since it does look like it has a melee weapon (blade? lance?) in its left arm on the sprite. You should be able to ruin that pilot's day with what you'll be rolling to hit him, so most of your shots should land in places that'll hurt, badly messing up or punching through his back armor to the delicious internals there and potentially making him take tons of crits and roll a bunch of dice for checks that he doesn't want to and hopefully fail. If your luck holds, that should be enough to cripple him and you can move on for next turn. While your One Turn Invulnerability is only for the Shooting Phase, you'll be able to absorb some shots meant for others and not be in range for melee retaliation hopefully.

The turn after, coordinate with the Huntsman to see where he'll be going and see if you can't team up with him to take out another Trout mech together. Or go after the damaged Longbow together, which should be the southern one, the one facing northeast, and not the northern one, facing northwest. Of course, it all depends on how good your shooting is this turn and what the Huntsman does, along with where PTN moves the Trout mechs. Still, make a decision and stick with it, we here in the peanut gallery can only give you advice that is of a questionable nature sometimes.

Kill it dead. I'm not sure what's more entertaining in this thread, the peanut gallery or PTN's amusing storyline. So far the Trouts seem to be doing an excellent job of killing off Clanners desperately trying to start up their mechs.

It's also fun to see a point of view character killed off in the next update after he's smugging about how his mech was one of a few on idle (assuming I read that correctly).

e: apparently I'm an idiot, that's what I get for skimming.

Well, that was discounting the obvious lance and void sig replacing AMS. It can't have endosteel or ferrofibrous because you wouldn't have had anywhere else to put the extra tons besides armor, just from what equipment we know it has. And that leaves a ton of free crits that might as well be TSM since everything else seems to have it.

They typically are; but aces shoot before the players do (and player aces shoot before enemy aces; even though all they really have going for them is plot armor) which is why they're blended together more than usual. They go back into their normal position as soon as they stop being aces.

Do you mean that the results of the said Ace shooting apply before non-aces shoot? Because unless that's the case, I don't see why they need to be put at the top, with shooting being simultaneous.

There's a good chance some of the players will show up in really disadvantageous positions, so they get a turn to maneuver and exploit their starting point.

Ultimatum: Tactical Update 8

Star Captain Ren Sukhanov stared incredulously at his HUD, momentarily dumbfounded by what he’d just witnessed. His mouth opened to voice a warning but he couldn’t bring himself to utter a word. A fluke was all it was, surely: two of his Streak SRMs had missed—one from each launcher. Ren had never seen the like. His salvo had been on target, and yet a missile from each flight had not only missed; but overcorrected immediately and swung itself around the enemy Bobcat like an orbiting comet moments before being flung away to explode harmlessly in mid-air. He’d heard of Streak SRMs failing before, but so rarely most Clanners considered such a thing an impossibility. His machine was well-maintained, his launchers read fine, and the missiles themselves had passed all inspections—and yet two had missed. One from each launcher.

His radio crackled, a sonorous voice filled the airwaves and Ren’s computer identified the broadcaster as one of the freeborn warriors from Gamma Galaxy, “I’ve never seen ECM this good! It even misdirected my Streak missiles in-flight!”

“Aff,” Ren confirmed. “This appears to be true.”

His blood ran cold as he ran through a thousand possibilities. If the enemy’s electronic warfare capabilities were so much better than the Clan standard, what else could they hide? BattleMechs, clearly, but what about explosives? DropShips? Or even, Kerensky-forbid, even fleets of WarShips? Would the Inner Sphere, bereft of such technology for nearly a century, even know the telltale signs that one of their star systems had been entered covertly?

A younger him would never have questioned such a thing but after twenty seconds of combat he knew one thing: the Clans had seriously underestimated this “new” Rim Worlds Republic.

Special Rules
Overheat Ace: The Rim World Blackguard gain Ace status when they overheat by 10 points or more!

Blind: Enemy units are only visible in direct Line of Sight

Hidden Units: Some enemy units remain hidden until they attack. Additionally, units equipped with Void Signature Systems may expend a turn’s movement to hide themselves if they are not in direct line of sight.

Expect Surprises: When the players lose their Phase 1 units, they will gain control of a powerful Phase 2 unit. When the players lose their Phase 2 unit, they will still have a chance to influence the outcome of the battle with a weaker Phase 3 unit. Some of these units start on the map, others will enter from elsewhere.
