I've got a paper copy, I just can't find it. I'm just looking for the armor allocation for one very specific unit. I know everything else about it already.

Psion posted:is ... is this good? The Piledriver deals the first five points of damage to the target's head. Thanks to a lucky headshot on my part, the Marauder only has four points of head armor left, so a successful dunk will breach its armor and guarantee at least one critical chance in the head. If he rolls a second damage cluster into the head then  .PTN's dice really went all-loving out on headshots last turn.

So what you're saying is it's a very realistic possibility apostatecourier just dunked the Marauder so hard, it ended up crushing the cockpit and getting a pilot kill? HEY XARBALA WHERE ARE YOU

Not only is it a realistic possibility, but the first automatic damage cluster is an automatic crit chance. If it goes through, that's a 1 in 6 chance of outright destroying the cockpit without destroying the head. apostateCourier fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Jan 29, 2015 |

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 22 The Charger’s structure shrieked as myomer muscles contracted to heave the Consort Marauder skyward. Not BattleMech could lift such a huge percentage of its own weight for long without destroying its own musculature, but those few fractions of a second were all Randy Montaigne needed. He twisted in place, tipping the Marauder forward and with a little help from the Charger’s massive battle fist he drove the Marauder’s cockpit into the ground like a railroad spike a moment before his own machine hit the ground with an earth-shaking crash. The enemy machine buckled and went limp as the cockpit crumpled like a can of beer. Blood streamed freely from Randy’s broken nose as the force of the impact shook a congealing blob loose. He coughed, spat, and cheered. “Yeah! The launcher’s been taken intact, just like you wanted, boss. That’s worth a bonus in the new régime, right?”  [I messed this up again.

Marauder status: CHAOS DUNKED. Also I feel like my Centurion orders are simple: Move into 1311, alpha the Crab, and wrecking ball it for a finisher. it might be the first turn where I actually walk forward instead of run. e: can I call specific locations for a wrecking ball hit or is it just wherever the dice roll it?

Geez that Crab can spit out some damage. Time to finish the job! The balance of mission is interesting (and tricky). The last few missions saw Goonstar get stomped. This time, with a small BV advantage and generally better mechs Goonstar had firm control the whole mission with nice aggressive play. I was expecting a few more of the reinforcement mechs to come into play, but this is fun as well.

Blackjack Orders in, walking to 1409 and unloading everything into that exposed CT the way god intended. I'm probably going to eat an armful of lasers on a 3+ for doing it but it would be a war crime not to take that shot. I would really appreciate it if Susie could arrange to not be within 2 hexes of me when this happens. EDIT: you could even just stand still and shoot him from where you are. It's a guaranteed hit for both your guns on the rear arc and I will be presenting a much juicier +0 target. Voyager I fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Jan 29, 2015 |

Yeah there will be at least 4 of us close with the Crab if Grunty doesn't take his Warhammer too far away. So you only have 25% odds of getting lasered to death. since this is the last unit there's no point in trying anything too fancy, right? Just pile in the damage and make it a dead Crab. I wish I was in the rear arc, let me tell you.

If you are in the mission, you'll have quite a few options to choose from. But we're looking at about 6 players maybe, depending on how much I hate myself because everyone's going to have a minimum of 2 (and probably 3) units under their control. Because tanks. Edit: And artillery will be an option, but one side's artillery is significantly more usable than the other's. Mostly because that artillery isn't towing five trailers.
