Do downed tanks count as rough terrain? I know Mechs counting has come up a million times over the course of the thread of a quick forums search of "rough terrain" didn't really answer my question. If they do I might want to jump upwards as well since I'm in the back of the group and my running options aren't as good.

It's a perfect spot, nothing else can hit you from there.

Alright, my orders are in: L3-RWA-X Legion #6 Nephilim-2 - Rabbit Warren Turn #4 - Orders Jump 5 hexes to 1622 (lower) facing 1621. Fire rHeavy PPC and 2x AP Gauss at, in order of priority based on "is it still alive", the caboose in 1419; or if it's dead, the passenger car in 1618; or if it's dead, the cargo car in 1519. If they're all dead, fire the guns anyway at the wall or something, I need the heat. From 1622 I'm unable to target the lead car of the train, and I am also blocked for all the guys in the left tunnel, but I should start next turn at 3 heat, and be in position to get really messed up by those incoming protomechs, so that should be fun.

I already can't remember how I managed to do updates with only one monitor. This is so much nicer. I don't have any ACE units, so you don't need to send contingency orders for "if a target moves into range." They can't.  Edit: I knew this map would make diagramming interesting!  Double Edit: That is probably the only time I've ever seen critical hits cascade like that

Rabbit Warren Update 5 “They’re covered in UV markings,” Delphina mentally typed on the Legion’s cockpit keyboard. “A unit marking, and some sort of individual identifier.” “That wasn’t the question,” Syd Colbert’s response was clearly annoyed. “What are they?” “Ultra-light ‘Mechs of some kind,” if plain text could carry a doubtful accent, Abhishek Gross’s conveyed it. “Like the Colonization Corps’ Longstriders. Only much slower.” “No cockpit,” Delphina pointed out. “They’re either drones, or piloted from the chest cavity. Could they possibly be extremely heavy powered armor?

Other people: Anyway so 0722 should give me shots on the hellbringer with decent cover (partial cover?) from him. But I won't put him down. 1625 should give me better odds and still partial cover (???) But it still won't bring him down I think. Going melee full out gently caress you could work I guess? I'm leaning towards jumping five to 1625 and shooting PPC and TSEMP. Closing in for a kick next round.

Nice hits, and I dodged all the caboose fire. Does being shut down mean the train and traincars are all immobile targets this turn for the -4 to-hit bonus? Secondly, does 0 crew mean the caboose won't ever fire again and can be ignored for the rest of the scenario?

Fuzzy Mammal posted:Nice hits, and I dodged all the caboose fire. Since it is shut down, you can also pound called shots in to it's right side to try and secure the kill and make sure the train isn't going anywhere. Unfortunately... Holy fuuuuck there's so many other targets to shoot rofl. I honestly have no idea what I'd do here. Moving in to the tunnel all the way for kicks seems really bad when the Osteon Prime and Hellbringer are sitting staring down the hall waiting for someone to step out, especially since there are plenty of things to blast without exposing yourselves to their fire. The Hellbringer's a G3 now so it's much more likely to hit, too. I guess the important thing is to make sure the machines with TSM active take hexes 1521 and 1620 to deliver kicks at the protos, while someone else with TSM can jump to 1319 to try and take the Viper Z's leg off. (Definitely shoot at a different target though, the Viper has a big fat +4 move mod from jumping 8, and theres, well, a *shitload* of other stuff to shoot all around.) One thing's for sure though, everyone needs to be in there shooting for all they're worth because there's so many units to put down rofl.

PTN, is it possible for me (#6) to jump in kind of an upwards corkscrew, going from my current position in 1622 (lower) three hexes through 1725 (lower + upper) and two more hexes to land in 1723 (upper)? From there, I could apply a Justice Foot to the head of the Jaegermech IIc in 1623! Or really any of the other mechs in my immediate area could make that jump, if we're allowed to kind of twist through there. It's five hexes total, and I think it ascends 5 hexes as well, right?

3 questions: 1) Can we be in the same hex at 2 protomechs 2) do destroyed vehicles count as rough? 3) it might come up next turn, can we just over enemy units in the tunnels or is there a height problem? Thanks, Leith
