Those things are only meaningful and only have some context, if you care about the little people caught up in all of it. Otherwise it's just Star Wars prequels all over again.

This thread is hilarious.

It's all about giant stompy robots and interstellar warfare and the clash of civilizations... but in the end, what goons truly crave, what they really respond to, is a little romance. Two little people whose lives hardly amount to anything in the grand scheme of things, thrown together by events far out of their control, a tiny bit of heroism and bravery on the part of a man for a woman he's barely spoken to, and goons just melt into mush left and right.

(I'm no different of course. Love that drawing. :3)

Speaking of Centurions (there's one in this very match guys!), has anyone linked to how that badass looks in the new designs?


Look at those hands. The hint of a shield on one arm to give it that "gladiator" vibe. The pauldron.

“Woah, would you look at that!” Cal exclaimed, “A surprise play by Serge—”

“A brilliant play by Serge,” Duncan interrupted, drawing a look of surprise and ire from Cal. “In a single move, he’s completely bottled up the Centurion—sure, it’s not trapped; but it can’t break out without exposing itself to the Axman’s big gun! Antonin has to be cursing his unfortunate start position; his safe little cul-de-sac is now a deathtrap; and it doesn’t even provide enough coverage to let him back away from his current position without giving up a shot.”

Duncan’s calm, firm voice continued, “And I can already tell that Charles Boyington is disappointed. Did you see the way his Thunderbolt paused when he crested the ramp and didn’t encounter the Axman? The people of Skye are hungry for a victory over the Lyrans in Steiner Stadium; we’ll probably see a riot tonight if the two don’t get a chance to face off.”

He paused, then grinned at the holocam. “Then again, we’ll probably see a riot tonight if they do. And speaking of riots, today’s fight is brought to you by Quikscell-brand Heavy Tracked APC: because fancy names cost extra, and Quikscell goes the extra mile to save you money.”

A single turn of shooting could be make-or-break for the Centurion, though. Then again, if the Catapult joins it and they gang up on the Axman, then the Ax'll be in a lot of trouble. Or they could all end up BFFs.

I thought the Axman and Catapult were on the same team? They should be doubleteaming the Centurion and making sure it can't escape or getting into stand off positions from each other and seeing how the team switch ends up.

This was kindof inevitable with my start position and lacking jump jets. So many impassable walls.

Didn't think the axe-man would go after me so fast, but I guess it makes some sense, as I'm in the only thing on the field with important locations that can't stand up to an AC/20.
