fool_of_sound posted:Catapult, why don't you move to 1336 to kick that truck and get behind cover. I'll follow right behind you to 1236. 1336 is 3 hexes away from the truck. Are you looking at the Player Movement map? The truck's moved to 1233 on the Enemy Movement map.

Keep in mind that kicking is a pilot check, and if you miss it forces another pilot check that could make you fall over.

I'm sauntering into 1236 and will thin out the fat bikers in the north. Happy MRM day. I didn't want the ammo anyway. And I want to use up some of it, before getting one-hit-TACed by a technical (It's going to happen).

Infantry units have a chance of being immediately destroyed whenever they pass through burning hexes IIRC.

They will take damage as if the building collapsed on them. So one or two guys will die and most will be pelted with chunks of drywall. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Oct 25, 2014 |

Hmm, that doesn't sound that promising then. I'm probably going to keep heading north, attacking infantry doesn't look too efficient in the mech I'm in. Going to jump to 3132, facing south. Hobo fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Oct 25, 2014 |

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 5 The azure whip of a PPC flashed past Susie’s cockpit. The harsh, actinic flare set her machine’s painted skull-mask aglow for an instant. The Battle Cobra twisted, arms raised menacingly. The left was still blackened and torn where Susie had shot off the original. The replacement had been taken from a ruined Guillotine and heavily modified on the pirates’ nearly year-long trek across the Inner Sphere. Susie had been surprised how well the Battle Cobra’s alien computers had integrated some of the dodgy components. The machine hadn’t lost any mobility, or been overbalanced by the bulky additions hastily welded to the least-damaged structural frames. “Dead Eyes,” she glowered, “you do realize that I’m never going to let you live-down missing that building, don’t you?” “The building,” Dead Eyes’ voice was emotionless.

I thought that I had enough movement to make it to hex 1629. By my count I had enough movement to do it. I turn left twice, move forward two hexes, turn right once, move forward six hexes, making 11.

So, looks like we're hitting actual mechs next turn. Should we (Battle Cobra and Chameleon) carry on down the right, or hook a left and then hit that groups of mechs from their flank? edit: if we get the Battle Cobra in that group, the -1 to hit penalty will add up pretty quickly.
