Leperflesh posted:e. The expanded stacking rules in TacOps do not contradict the above and specifically refer back to TW p57. I've never allowed it, and for the sake of fairness both to the players and myself I don't change rules or (mis)interpretations thereof mid-mission (see also: using hasty movement to travel uphill back during Operation Himinbjörg. It's not allowed, but because I screwed it up once everyone got to benefit). You are entirely correct and this will be allowed in future missions.

Tank Boy Ken posted:Wow. Can I take credit for the massive rules sperging going on? (I proposed the most illegal moves this turn!) This will inevitable lead to thrown Mech miniaturs and lots of drama. And in the end will kill this thread. (yes/no/maybe?) It's not tabletop gaming without heated arguments over the minutia of poorly worded rules!

If you give one of my AC/20s a rear armor shot I'm going to take it no matter how risky it is.  Edit: At least giving the second AC/20 a rear armor shot was an accident due to insufficient MP. Edit: Guys, please stop sending me torso-twist orders. I will twist you automatically to get as many of the weapons you tell me to fire on your target as possible. Most of the time torso-twist orders are completely unnecessary and just serve to clutter up your orders. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Nov 19, 2014 |

Obviously you've constrained your own forces by the ruling too. I hope I never come off as accusatory when we discuss rules minutiae; I'm just... well, OK, I'm a technical writer, and I enjoy looking up rules and figuring them out carefully and since I own the battletech rules in PDF form, it's easy to search them. In general the battletech rules are much better written than, say, anything games workshop has ever published. But there are still areas of ambiguity or room for improvement in clarity.

Speaking of improvements in clarity: the Clint has attacked I don't mind if you use hex numbers instead of `Mech names, but empty hexes are valid targets so I would be completely within my rights to have you waste your shot. If you name the `Mech you want to shoot at you'll never have this problem. To keep the Clint from wasting a turn shooting nothing I'm going to pick a target randomly from the valid targets it can see.

Just checked my orders to make sure that I indeed turned left towards the Dragon to take an AC/20 to the face and not the butt. Wait did the Catapult retreat to 1430? I hope he did turn his back to the buildings. Otherwise he might take shot into his rear end (from said Dragon).

Psion posted:whew, good thing I'm in a Centurion instead! (I know, I know Your defensive movement modifier is based on the actual number of hexes you have traveled, not how many MP you consumed doing so or whether it counted as a run or a walk on your part. 1027 and 1026 would both be 3-hex moves for you, garnering a +1 move mod. The extra turning to get to 1027 bumps the move up to a run and makes it harder for you to shoot, but it doesn't make it harder for the enemy to hit you. Jumping adds a +1 bonus to your movement modifier in addition to the what would normally be given by the number of hexes you moved, but only counts the distance you traveled by the shortest possible path (so no, you cannot jump a 7-hex circle to land back where you started with a jacked up movement modifier). Also, if I can't jump the Dragon, does that mean I need to change my orders? If so, please have me Run to 1730, shoot everything at the Dragon as previously stated.

I dunno whatever, I shot a lot at it and that's what counts  Voyager I posted:Your defensive movement modifier is based on the actual number of hexes you have traveled, not how many MP you consumed doing so or whether it counted as a run or a walk on your part. oh, well, live and learn. also I think Zest was planning on moving into 1026? There's a reason I wasn't planning on that hex aside from movement though I can't think of it exactly. This probably means "reason is dumb, eat an AC/20 to the rear end."

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 11 “Blind” Sal glared in horrified silence as the massive bulk of the enemy’s Charger rose into the air and fell, spread eagled, straight towards her. Her response was measured, deliberate, and aimed precisely. Not one of her shots went where she’d aimed. The crippling damage to the Quickdraw’s computers suffered in Jag Cordeaux’s midnight attack less than a month before had taken its toll, and while it wouldn’t be difficult to repair with the right board and microchips, Sal had had neither. Her hasty, jury-rigged repairs would hold, her Quickdraw would still fight, but she was as good as crippled. A medium laser shot that should’ve found one of the gaps in the Charger’s bulky armor missed clean, the other drew an angry orange line on the thick plating covering the Charger’s shin. “Hell with this!” she roared, lunging towards the descending Charger. She threw her arm forward, catching it in the knee with her hatchet only to have that same arm smashed backwards and nearly crushed against her canopy as the Charger came down on top of her.

That was a pretty effective turn, apart from the Catapult falling over. Can someone help it stand up?

Charger planning to jump to 0529 and trying to Justice Foot the Shadow Hawk in the side of the face. Might go to 0428 just to build movement mod so I don't get shot up too terribly bad.

You are prone, you have to stand up first. You can't stand and jump in the same turn.

So many crit chances, so few crits. These mechs are made of air! But the luchador spectacle is delivering.

Got 'em. Left arm's hanging on by tendons, and right arm's gone stiff, and I fell over, but hey. Better I take it than someone worse off than me. ...so this Careful Stand I saw the Quickdraw do. -2 to my getting up roll, at the cost of what? My MP? My shooting phase? Can I turn while standing up?

So the Phoenix Hawk is mission killed; both arms are gone, and it's lying on the ground with one leg waiting for the locals to finish stripping the Firestarter. The enemy landed some big hits, but not in critical locations, so all-in-all I'd say we came out pretty well.

Did I miscalculate my heat? I thought I end up with 17 - 13 heat. Walking + MRM (12) + ML (3) + SL (1) Or did I have leftover heat? Something I forgot to take note off. Since I only fired 2x ML last turn, I though I'd be at 0 entering this turn. Also I'm still not hitting the Dragon with the MRM40. I'd need to know where the BJ is moving to, since I'd like to pursue the Dragon and help finish it. I guess we should finish here and then move on. King crab.talk: This will be tough if it remains on the bottom of the lake. Since it will be able to shoot our legs as we enter Level 1 water. Maybe the Charger could DFA it down in -L4? Is that even legal?

All I really care about is that there is a kickass robot luchadore flying into dudes. I'm also really enjoying watching the MG boat just roll buckets of dice and peck-crits.

Careful Stand gives -2 to the PSR to stand, at the cost of using all your MP. You can still select what direction you end up facing once you've stood up, but you'll have a 0 defense mod for movement since you didn't travel any hexes. You do not forgo your shooting.

Everyone else on the Dragon mind if I go for Back shots in 1932 this turn? I can get right behind him with all of my movement, and really want to try and get my special objective via back shots. Also ow, my lef.
