Don't apologize, it actually explains a fair bit. Did they take into account the long range penalty, and that you'd be shooting through trees?

Ultimatum: Tactical Update 17 “They have brought in more artillery,” Ranvig didn’t flinch as LRMs rained down around her Ebon Jaguar. The machine shook with dozens of hits and red-hot shrapnel pinged from her transplex cockpit. The enemy seemed innumerable even though Clan forces probably outnumbered them by dozens to one. No matter how few of them there really were, they had seized local superiority and there was nowhere she could gain even a moment’s respite. “We should hunt them down,” Thresher suggested. To Ranvig’s ears the other Sea Fox sounded distracted, even tired. “Hunt them and kill the—” “Can we afford to, quineg?” Ranvig asked, “We do not know where they are and we are already badly outnumbered. I do not wish to let a Smoke Jaguar into my rear while I go into the jungles hunting for a Steel Viper.” “Your analogy would make more sense if Steel Vipers could fire LRMs from their fangs,” Thresher replied humorlessly, “also if Smoke Jaguars—” Ranvig flipped open her transplex face shield to rub her eyes, “Shut up.” Movement Phase Kraken 3 - Insufficient MP to turn!

OpFor missed a hell of a lot this round. Was gonna mention the arm TAC but Zeroisanumber beat me to it. The Warhawk B's small laser hit, but the damage is missing - probably just from the battle report and not your own damage tracking notes.

Comedy option for the Ebon Jaguar - run to 0218, unload into the back of the original Unknown Assault. Edit: Or 0419, for the new one. You'd need to torso twist, but it could be done. I think. Scintilla fucked around with this message at 22:02 on May 21, 2014 |

Run 8 hexes into the hex directly behind the hunchback (hex 1011), torso twist left and unload into his rear? Torso-mounted weapons can't shoot into the rear arc, right? And there's no movement penalty for moving through the ruined tent at 0715, right?

27/89 Tents The Trouts are rather obsessed about staying hidden (it must be in their OOB) and fighting, with so many immobile targets. Y'all have been able to explot this thankfully. 3-4 rounds of the Rimmers going all out will kill all remaining targets, so keep them close and busy, but not close enough for them to stop sneaking.

I said it as a joke but the more I look at it the safest place for him to go is probably 0218. For a given value of 'safe', that is. The first Unknown Assault won't be able to shoot at him, the Chameleons will be taking movement penalties to hit and there's smoke in the way, and the other Assault won't be able to bring all of its weapons to bear. The Locust will fill him full of inferno rounds, but...I can't see any safer options. And a really ballsy move might be the thing we need to turn the tide.

It might be a long shot: 3 base + 0 range + 2 movement + 0 enemy movement + 3 Void Signature System = 8's to hit with everything, I think. If he goes to 0419 and targets the second Assault it'll be: 3 base + 0 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement + 0 Void Signature System = 6's to hit (NOT sure about this one, I may have cocked up the Void Sig / movement penalty/bonus thinger, someone please check my maths), but it's a far more dangerous position since he'll be eating fire from the first Assault.

Maybe you guys could physical enemies for more damage? There's been very little of that on both sides this battle, mostly for the better, but it's an untapped source of potential damage. Also, with heavier mechs coming up in Phase 3 the worst thing is for your mech to be crippled, so if that happens more suicidal plays might be called for.

And I mean, if you do manage to fill his rear with missiles and lasers and MAN MAD LIGHTNING then that might get some crits that could really ruin its day. So that's a really nice option you have there, Kial.

Well the Crab seems to be going after you, so it's probably a good idea to stay near the smoke/woods. You could take a risk and simply turn on the spot, then unload everything into the Phoenix. Unfortunately with the busted leg your movement options are incredibly limited.

Scintilla posted:It might be a long shot: For the first, he's in smoke so it would be 9s. The second would be 9s as well. +2 for void and +1 for smoke. Additionally, the PPCs would hit on far worse. Here's my first thought. Race over to 511 and shoot the Hunchback on 8s (3 base + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement + 1 void + 1 smoke.) including the TAG. Return fire from the Hunchback at (2 base + 1 movement + 2 enemy movement + 2 smoke + 1 void). 8s as well. Of course with the way PTN has been nailing the big shots lately it's risky. Any fire from the Crabs/Chams will be at medium range though 2 smoke. Kial fucked around with this message at 00:39 on May 22, 2014 |

Gay Abortions posted:Well, that is definitely not where I wanted the Phoenix to be this turn. Any suggestions on what I should be doing aside from getting continually out-maneuvered by that nimble little bastard? Perhaps back up into 2019, have another turn of shooting it out with the Phoenix. Right now the Wolf Spider and Kraken look to be moving into position to join up with you and will be able to contribute fire against things in your vicinity very soon, so you don't want to do anything rash like running into the open in your big, slow 'Mech with a frail leg and get shot to bits while allies are on their way. This doesn't give you much of a move mod, but the only way you're getting one of those is by exposing yourself to unpleasantness. That big smoke cloud is your friend here. Kial posted:For the first, he's in smoke so it would be 9s. I feel there are merits to the notion of playing their own game against them. Disappear behind the veil of smoke (0312 facing north, maybe?), pop back out next turn in a hopefully more advantageous position. Meanwhile, your other allies are moving in to put fire on them from the southeast. ...Although it wastes the Arrow IVs. Kind of a harsh cost. If you do go that route, you may want to issue some provisional orders for targeting things that might become visible on the other side. Also, I apologize for suggesting what turned out to be such a precarious route! I should have expected there might be further enemies in the mist. On that particular note, two hidden 'Mechs fired on you this turn. They are at long-range for LRMs, meaning they must be at least 15 hexes out. That means they are either in the extreme northwest beyond the line 0104-0601, or they are to the northeast behind 0601-2008 or 2008-2022. That looks huge, but the helpful thing is that this excludes the area behind the ridge directly to you north. Hopefully that's helpful!

Kial posted:For the first, he's in smoke so it would be 9s. drat, I forgot about the smoke. Whilst I'm pretty sure Clan PPC's don't suffer minimum range penalties, that still puts a damper on that idea. Shooting the Hunchback might expose you to further bombardment from the two Longbows in hiding up there, but it's your call and anything that causes damage to the enemy is good. Edit: I've also updated the list with what we know about the second Assault, and I've also added the number of heat sinks each enemy has based on the amount they sink each turn.

Man, gently caress this round. Edit: Horribly ineffective missile attack. drat. Okay, I'm definitely open to suggestions. Someone mentioned opening up on the Phoenix? There's a really fast mech coming at me from the South too so I'm worried about that. This mech is so drat slow. Not sure what to do.

The lack of information makes it difficult, no ones fault! Imagine if I'd tried to attack the rear of the 100 ton .... I mean, who expects a Hunchback and 2 more Longbows to appear? Ugh. Also, how on earth are we going deal with 2 100 ton Assaults that get +4 to hit just from standing still in the smoke? Depressing turn.
