Air Raid: Tactical Update 8 “Yul’s down.” Duncan jerked in his command couch, turning to look behind him—a futile gesture in an Atlas of any kind, he had few windows and none of them would let him see over his machine’s colossal shoulders. He needn’t have bothered anyway, Yul Liao’s Stag lay face-down on the tarmac, its v-shaped cockpit scarred and blackened from a laser hit. He couldn’t see her, but the way her machine lay still spoke volumes. “Down, or dead?” Duncan demanded, pulling his attention back to the battle. He couldn’t afford to worry about one downed soldier when fourteen others were counting on him, but he didn’t necessarily need to. Not when he could delegate to someone less busy. “Vitals are erratic,” IRIS was the first to reply, her Ostscout’s advanced sensor suite letting her peek inside the downed machine. “She’s probably unconscious, but alive.” “drat,” Jason interjected. “Buy her some time, and once she’s on her feet we’ll get her back to—” Jason’s voice was silenced with a static hiss as a lucky shot caught the Screamer in the cockpit. The Screamer writhed, but didn’t fall and Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. Jason was alright, but a hit like that would wreak havoc on cockpit monitors and electronics. His comms had undoubtedly been damaged, but as long as he was moving Duncan wouldn’t worry.

And this is why even the Screamer needs hardened armor. 12 points in the head is enough for five minutes of average life expectancy in intense combat. Those infantry close to the tunnel are up to something, they might have gathered explosives to cut you off. Maybe the Komodo could go kill them while Axeman recuperates.

Everyone needs to focus on keeping Vorenus alive, we just saw what happened when he dropped because the Screamer took a shot to the face. If he dies then at least 3 other people might just explode on the spot.

You forgot to tick down the number of turns left in the mission objectives there, PTN. Man, that was a really unlucky turn there for the Stag and the Screamer. Goshawks still making nuisances of themselves, and that Heavy Star is in range to engage. Better make these next couple of turns count!

gently caress that was some awful goddamn luck on our side. Especially that lucky cockpit shot on the Screamer. The Screamer especially needs to never not be at max movement mod now I think or else another hit on the cockpit and RIP Jason. Even if he falls down that could kill him.

Couple good options for GoonMercs: Atlas is in prime position to be a royal pain: Moving to 0931, facing 1030, unloading PPCS and HGR at the Nidhogg, and kicking the Stooping Hawk (potential one shot). The Grasshopper would need to move up as well to 0830, otherwise the Ace Lucerne hawk hunter would be able to run right down and go for a head kick against the Atlas. The grasshopper right there would protect him from kicks and backshots though. Ostscout can run north to 1729 facing 1628, and try for a TAG on the Mad Dog, which if successful grants the Salamander an ideal shot to unload on it. (7 hex range if the sally stands still, which isn't completely insane since it's untouched.) The Goshawk leader is a good target too- Same move mod, same range, and bonus that he's already damaged. Lancelot and Bethany can just sidle back up to the berm and have their choice of backshots, especially on the Goshawk in 1534, since it doesn't have cover from you guys like the one in 1334 does. Gunsmith could run down to 1424 and shoot up the Mad Dog, too.

Screamer just needs to stay away from the pulse weapon angles and be at medium to long range (in the case of Kaz).

Temptation: Moving to 1433 and kicking Goshawk 2. I'll have 8s and a successful hit will leg it. I'll also be exactly 7 from the Copperhead and Goshawk 5.

If an enemy mech goes in a straight line, is there any way to tell if they jumped? Also, I am tempted to walk the Flashman to 1029 and alpha strike the Unknown in the back. On the other hand, it depends on if we are pushing in this turn. Ardlen fucked around with this message at 04:45 on May 30, 2016 |

I will very rarely walk if I can jump, but either way don't stand still if you see the Grendel only moved 7 hexes. It either jumped and became nigh-unhittable (in which case you need to move to return the favor) or it walked in which case it's going to shoot someone on a 6+ unless you're racking up move mods. Goshawk IIs too, but they don't have a headcapper.

Hey PTN, I'm pretty sure in my orders I specified firing only the er large and medium pulse laser since I didn't want the hit to my move mod from overheat. Am I mistaken? edit: Just checked and yeah, that is what I said.

Not a great turn for us but it could have been a lot worse. Despite being down, The Stag just needs to wake up on a 7+ and it should be able to leave on it's own power. Which it should probably do as we don't want dead pilots and it will have limited ability to affect the engagement at this point. However, the peregrine is down (excellent) and Goshawk II 2 can't jump or move far at all this turn. It's a sittingish duck and needs to die right now. If goon lance can drop that goshawk and the Conjuror or another Mech they should still be in damned good shape.

I like how Kaz saw something so blindingly beautiful in Jason headshotting the Copperhead he felt the need to evolve into an ace with a -1 combined gunnery. Other Clanners might say he is cheesing with his tarcomp pulse lasers, but I think he was prescient, as his target now has a +5 move mod.

There's a fine line between "don't get captured" and "don't let them take you alive" and you're one unlucky hit from the latter.

Nah, as long as there are no other enemies nearby you could stay at the edge of the tunnel outside the range of the infantry and plink away at the infantry, or the buildings if they run back in. Again, that green infantry squad is up to something. It's had several turns to gather high explosives from the military facility it was in (if it stores those things admittedly). I'm just saying, running out into the open with infantry-killer mechs nearby? They've gotta have a good reason. Except maybe it's baiting mechs to chase them and then running back indoors, but still... It could've done that rounds ago. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 06:25 on May 30, 2016 |

So that peregrine was mint, until it looked at the atlas funny and then it suddenly no longer had a torso connecting any of the other bits.

Next turn it might be a good idea to use one of the smoke rounds on the downed stag to give it at least a little cover. Also I noticed a couple of the revenants are set to "defend allies". Is it possible to get those two over there to provide cover fire when the stag is limping out of there?
