Wanted to make this comment as well.  Also, I'm finally caught up with this thread. As one who never played a BattleTech or MechWarrior game in my life, I find this a very compelling thread. All I know about BattleTech is what I've picked up by nerd osmosis on another message board and some wiki binging on Sarna, so...

Alas, poor Engine Joe. Still, I guess having Sir gently caress You kick the Warhammer's head off was worth it... Maybe. Probably. Most likely... I dunno, I want to root for the Space Chinese, but after this round, I don't know if I can...

I would have rooted for the Space Chinese before this round, but now my heart just isn't in it. Normally, I would be all on top of Space Chinese kicking the crap out of Space Mexicans, but after all that happened this round, I just can't. Maybe if the next scenario is more Space Mexicans versus Space Chinese, I'll unfurl my  , depending on the mission, but not right now.

Defiance Industries posted:Modern weapons are classified as primitive and do pretty much nothing. You'd need to hit it with a tac nuke (which would kill it pretty dead). Yeah, I never did get why this was the case when reading about Mechs and the real world physics thereof... How come Machine Guns and Autocannons can do damage to Mechs (however piddly in the case of Machine Guns) while tank cannon bounce off?  I guess the devs not wanting to put up with that poo poo anymore is as good a reason as any, if not keeping with the fluff...

PoptartsNinja posted:The biggest reason for the blanket 'modern weapons don't do poo poo' was because every time it comes up it turns into a huge derailment of whatever else was going on. Since that's exactly what's happening, I'd also rather conversations stay clear of "modern technology vs. magic space technology." Yeah, I've seen sperging of that sort when people on a forum I frequent were trying to write a BattleTech meets Tom Clancy's Ryanverse crossover. Oh the arguments they had on whether or not Abrams tanks and teen series fighters (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18) could outfight Mechs. They did decide that the missiles fired by those fighters would qualify for TAG, but whether they would do any damage?

Finally caught up with this thread, and it seems like just in time too, seeing as how the end of the mission was just posted. MVP for the Goons has to be Skinwalker, after the Justice Foot got an honorable MVP. Gonna have to go with the Zhukov for the Death Commandos. Seems to be a pretty Pyrrhic victory for the Caballeros, though. 3/4 of the hostages dead, all women and children, including the wife of the CO. It remains to see whether or not the son survived as well... Also, RIP Engine Joe. You will be missed. Most of the remaining mechs are in pretty bad shape, but it's almost all armor damage and that can be repaired... Wonder which of the salvaged mechs Clueless will get to replace his family heirloom Hunchback. Guess he has a new one now, huh? Waiting to see the repercussions of this battle, the state of the Sphere, how far the Clans have gotten, and the choice of next theater. Probably gonna vote Lyrans for the next theater... Wanna see some protagonist Capellans and Combine eventually, though. Maybe after the Lyrans are done, I guess. Will probably be fun watching the goons be the ones running the Death Commandos, after all. Other forces would work too, though.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Before I forget, what, exactly, was Justin's plan before it went fubar? You've mostly just implied that it would have been less...bloody. Seems to be just to kidnap the kids, get the Caballeros out of the repair bay, capture it when they were attempting to rescue the kids, then present them with a fait accompli in the form of hostages taken plus mech bay captured, forcing them off the world... Or something like that. As for the vote, I'm gonna go with B. Justin Xiang is smart enough to play Max off of Romano and awesome enough to pull it off. Romano can be a lot crazier and worse than Max, so having him in the background, possibly to have a limit on Romano's excess, would be a good idea. The choice would probably give the best option for the Capellans, and seeing as how we'll be playing as them eventually, I'd like to see them in a better position, I guess. Dumping on them all the time gets old, or something like that... Also, is it just me, or does the idea of Justin with Romano make anyone else's skin crawl?

Really lucky shots this turn, probably gonna need a lot more of it to survive against the Clans... Agreeing with the whole offer surrender thing, preferably after blowing off that arm that he bid to fight you with. Maybe offer a surrender this turn, then if it isn't accepted by Star Colonel Dusk, blow the arm off and demand it again next turn. You are attempting to stall for time for the Dropships to get powered up, right? Then stall all you can out of this... If you guys get a Clan prisoner and a semi-damaged Clan mech out of this, along with getting some Steiners out of the line of fire, you should receive some sort of commendation or something, provided you survive, of course. Loving the whole Khan Caesar of Clan Steiner thing too. Amusing fluff is always fun to read.

Defiance Industries posted:If they scrape this one out, the Representative to the Estates-General for Furillo (one Julian Silverberg) motions survivors be awarded the Commonwealth Star. Anyone who dies, of course, should get the Commonwealth Medal of Honor and be inducted in to the Knights of Donegal. Totally forgot about that. By all means, honor the dead with greater commendations. The provided you survive bit was in reference to anyone in the lance surviving, since if you guys all bite it, then there's no one to bring the captured Clanner and his mech back to Lyran space. Unless of course, Caesar Steiner comes riding out of the Dropship to attempt a pickup or something like that... Still, I doubt that the Steel Vipers would allow those two Dropships to just take off after taking out the Command Lance... Though I guess the Colonel did bid everyone except Caesar in defense. Guess that means he receives the opportunity for honorable withdrawal, or whatever the Clan term is... EDIT: ^^^ Doubt that the Wolfhound would be able to get around the Star of Assaults guarding the Dropships. Though I guess they did say that they wouldn't interfere until Beta Star was taken out. Provided that the Command Star lets you pass, this would be awesome. Still, why settle for the arm, when you can have the entire mech, with all that awesome tech, after winning it from the clanner driving it? Defiance Industries could probably do a lot more with an entire mech to reverse engineer... GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Mar 29, 2011 |

Still, the Star Commander might be able to take one or both of them out though. He does have a Bloodname after all... Anyway, really crazy luck for the 2nd Donegal this past turn. The Battle Cobra disabled due to lucky Gyro damage? Nice. That battle is effectively finished, right? Now all you need to do is to claim both the Battle Cobra and the Thunderchild as salvage and get Caesar Steiner to pick it up, and even if the entire Command Lance buys it, there will be some good coming out of this engagement. Would claiming Knox as a bondsman also give you access to his mech? If so, you guys should argue the point with Breen. Might buy a turn or two...

Defiance Industries posted:FM: FS and FM: LA both have an equivalent ranking table in them. The enlisted stuff is pretty straight forward, but here's what officer ranks look like: So why is a Lieutenant General lower than Major General? I thought that both the AFFS and the LCAF imitated NATO ranks, so the AFFC should as well. The lack of a Colonel rank in the AFFC still puzzles me... A jump from Lieutenant Colonel straight to two Star General? That irks me. If I'm remembering my NATO officer ranks correctly, Brigadier General is a one Star (O-6), Major General is a two Star (O-7), Lieutenant General is a three Star (O-8), and a full General is a four Star (0-9). Marshal would probably be equivalent to General, so that would be an O-9 as well. Field Marshal would be above that (O-10) and then finally the Marshal of the Armies. Also, since the Lyrans seem to be imitating German ranks, why don't they style their Colonels Oberst?

Arquinsiel posted:Because that's how NATO does it? It all dates back to the Roman tendancy to call the direct subbordinate officers the "Lieutenants"/Tribunes of the Imperator/Dux/Legatus (depending on period). No, in NATO, Lieutenant Generals (3 Star, O-8) outrank Major Generals (2 Star, O-7). See my earlier post: GhostStalker posted:If I'm remembering my NATO officer ranks correctly, Brigadier General is a one Star (O-6), Major General is a two Star (O-7), Lieutenant General is a three Star (O-8), and a full General is a four Star (0-9).

Seeing someone utterly trash the utter stupid of BattleTech "technology" is amusing to me. Gives me more ammunition to use against people who attempt to justify stuff like how Mechs can't be damaged by contemporary weapons and the like. So don't presume stuff like this. As for the update (nice timing, too), things look like they're gonna go bad in a hurry for the 2nd Donegal. The Copperhead (nice name, was that the one the contest winner named?) beign piloted by the Bloodnamed Star Commander looks like its about to gently caress poo poo up, even though he went for a 1 on 2. The Banshee is going to have to go against another superior machine after getting hit pretty hard by the Battle Cobra, and the Wolfhound is in serious trouble against a (presumably) long rang Mech. Things ain't looking too good...

Longinus00 posted:The justification is because the fluff says so. Arguing about this is about as productive as arguing about light sabers in star wars. True, but then again, I've always been a sort of guy who obsesses over Military technology. I understand that the devs have flat stated this point, and I can accept the fact that Mech armor must be insanely good to stand up to the punishment that gets dished out in the battlefields of the Inner Sphere, but some things just irk me. Does this mean I'm thinking too much about a game? Yes. But then again, I only got into BattleTech fluff and stuff a couple of years ago at most, having never played any of the games. And that first introduction to the fluff was people on a forum arguing back and forth about whether or not a couple lances of BattleMechs could take out a modern US (and allied) armored force, with attached air and naval support. The answer was a resounding yes, even if the modern force would take horrendous casualties in doing so. Fire control that actually works, a modern C3i net, drone support, missiles that can be launched BVR, weapons systems not being limited by arbitrary range, air support worth a drat, ECM, satellite coverage, I could go on. This thread is actually the first time I'm seeing BattleTech be played, so it doesn't have the same nostalgia attachment for me that it presumably has for you guys. I guess I'm just more interested in the fluff than the game mechanics, but that still doesn't prevent me from arguing about stupid when I see it.

Brandy Collins posted:1 planet worth of resources versus ~2,000 planets worth? I don't care how much better some of our technology is compared to theirs, those numbers are going to annihilate us as soon as they realize that they need to swarm to win. Piranha principle. If any of the Great Houses send enough forces to entirely wreck our poo poo (and I mean entirely, just one Regiment probably wouldn't be enough), then they risk taking troops away from a vital defensive line protecting them from the other Great Houses and then get pushed back like crazy when those other Great Houses decide to invade. The Great Houses never agree to a ceasefire just to stomp one drat world into the ground. Also, if one of the Great Houses decided to go after us for our vaunted technology, either the other Great Houses would send forces to gently caress them up for attempting to get a technological leg up, or ComStar would ruin their poo poo. Trust me, the forum where I first got introduced to BattleTech has thought a lot about these things... Probably doesn't help that the reason they think about this poo poo was that all this grew out of a what-if scenario posited by someone about what would happen if a bunch of Periphery pirates from Port Krin stumbles across a Tom Clancy Ryan-verse Earth...

That's really frankly retarded, swarming one insignificant world that stubbornly refuses to just give up when you have vast interstellar empires to run, and that said swarming would necessitate leaving tracts of your interstellar empire unguarded, potentially open to your enemies. Yup, this too. Seriously, ShadowDragon, are you reading from the same forums that I am? Great minds, once again. EDIT: Holy poo poo... ShadowDragon8685 posted:Goddamn, are we like, some kind of complimentary sine-wave or something, coming to the same conclusion the other is coming to while the other is typing? ShadowDragon8685 posted:Amusingly, if ComStar decided to try and wreck our poo poo, we'd wreck their poo poo (since they probably wouldn't send more than a Level 3,) then grab their LosTech 'mechs and when the Great Houses finally got around to coming for us, we'd be fielding an unholy fusion of Tech 2 BattleTech and 2010 modern warfare. Oh, the ELH or the Dragoons would definitely throw down alongside us... Especially since we are in control of Terra (albeit an alternate one that got ported to the BattleTech universe in some way...), and since Terra is seen as the Seat of the Star League and those two mercenary groups have a vested interest in wanting to protect Terra... Also, I dunno about other people's interpretations of the Combine, but would certain members of the DCMS and the leadership be unwilling to attack us because of Glorious Nippon? I mean, the leadership of the Combine claim descendancy from an Admiral Kurita in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II, so they might be unwilling to attack their ancestors. Doubly so if there's still any sort of fealty paid to the Emperor of Japan in the Combine. There's also the fact that there's a sizable force of Azami Muslims in the Combine. What will they do when they realize that we have a Mecca that wasn't destroyed by Stefan Amaris during his takeover of Terra? More musings from the other forum where this was brought up...

Then again, most of this stuff isn't coming directly from me, just from that forum filtered through me. Still, it does have a lot of my own thoughts in there, so, great minds, I guess. quote:I think you mean "throw in with us," instead of "throw down with us," since to "throw down" with someone means you're engaging in hostilities against them, as opposed to engaging in hostilities in support of them. But yeah. They'd be throwing down with the Great Houses, alongside us. Yeah, that was a typo. We'd probably have an aegis due to them for a bit. Enough to hold off any contenders for a while. Also, I forgot about Snord's Irregulars. They'd probably show up and throw in with us as well just to get a gander at all the miscellaneous stuff that they've been hunting all over the Inner Sphere for. quote:Try to take it back from the infidels?

I dunno, I figured that you might see some defections to our side just so they could fulfill their obligation for a haji (or however that's spelled).

ShadowDragon8685 posted:Somehow I don't see entire DCMS units defecting just to protect one city on the planet potentially being invaded. Just... Seems a bit unlikely to me. I dunno, The Azami were pretty much given free reign by the Coordinator, IIRC, as long as they provide some regiments for him to fight with. They might defect if it gets them to finally be able to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, they might not. And I think Amaris destroyed Mecca so that he wouldn't have any focal points of opposition against his rule during his takeover of Terra. The Kaaba certainly qualifies, along with probably the Vatican as well... I might just be remembering this wrongly, but it certainly makes sense to me...

Oh dear, this was quite a lovely turn for the 2nd Donegal. The Banshee gets decapitated due to a random stroke of Clanner luck. The superior Wolfhound pilot loses a leg while backing down a hill... Still, you shoved the Bloodnamed Star Commander off the map and made him forfeit his bid... I guess that counts for something, right? All you guys have left to deal with for a Partial Victory are two Heavy Mechs with two damaged Assaults, a Light missing a leg, and a damaged Tank. You might be able to pull it off... Maybe... Really poor luck for the Master Sergeant, though. Feel bad for the guy.

It may be possible that the Thunderchild pilot is allowed to vent his anger on some tank... That's why I said it was a shame. Even though the tank helped take down two Mechs, the Clanners are probably still gonna treat the crew like crap, not worthy of making bondsmen or gunning them down when they attempt to bail... Also, I totally approve of the Colonel calling out Knox on his bullshit. The Star Commander said that Knox was withdrawing, but here he is, wrecking the Rommel. Sure, that might be fine with the Clanners, but to the 2nd Donegal, that should be a breach of the Clanners own honor rules. Also, that Master Sergeant totally has to get some sort of commendation or medal or something for taking out the Battle Cobra and then dying in the line of duty... Never forget

Does the venerable Rommel even have a chance to recover from that stun before Knox attempts to finish it off? Even if he is knocked off the tank, the drive train is all but demolished, and it's got crazy to hit penalties. I would love it if it could get another shot off at Knox with its big gently caress off autocannon, but I doubt it can do anything at this point. I'd be totally behind the tank crew bailing out and challenging Knox to a fistfight for apparently not understanding the term "withdrawing". That would be the best way for the tank crew to get out of there alive... There's practically no chance that the Clans will claim them as bondsmen because they drive a tank, right?

Ha, Steiner rules dueling... I love it. And you're managing to stretch out the turns as well! Good show. Anyway, good to see that the tank crew bailed out, though the Rommel got destroyed... Not sure what other effect they can have on the battle, but good to see that they made it out. The Wolfhound continues to impress, even if it did get destroyed this turn. The pilot wasn't killed, was he? Seeing as how he was claimed as a bondsman, I think not. Since the Colonel is the only target left available, I would assume that the pilot of B4 is going to go after him next. Challenge him to a Steiner rules duel as well! Play for time.
