This mission is great, from my perspective.

Plenty of new players, combined arms is threatening without needing any 'surprise' gimmicks, and the players are all doing very well in spite of the challenges.

Even if I keep forgetting to give the Elementals the correct movement mods for jumping.


It is indeed. How you made all these pieces fit I'll never know. It feels like a threat is around every corner and the tension constant.

I like how none of the players understanding the rules for Aerospace assets does a fantastic job of representing the pilots being unused to fighting against Aerospace assets.

Player must make a 9+ Rules check to correctly determine range brackets (5 base + 2 supplemental rule set + 2 intoxication), rolled 5, fails! Declares alpha strike against target that is out of range!

At least you are not going up against someone like Ranna with 0 gunnery. Then again she is too young in the PTN'verse, if she exist at all.

Auxilia: Tactical Update 7

One of the Clan fighters disintegrated in a cloud of fire and shrapnel, when its own thrust drove one of its three engines through its own weakened airframe. The fighter detonated in a flash and was gone without a trace—at least to Luiza Cardoso’s unpracticed eyes. The other fighter was past before the wreckage of its compatriot had a chance to do any sympathetic damage, even flying slowly it was faster than its wingman’s remains. It rocketed skyward, and seemed to flop over on its tail as it came about. It was a smart maneuver, one Luiza had never seen and couldn’t identify, but it would likely prove enough to put that fighter out of range of her PPCs.

“Demon Hawks, this is Nemesis Flight,” a new voice filled the company’s comm. Channels with a heavy Spanish accent. The pilot was young, but sounded confident—and hopefully competent—enough. “I thought Central said you needed rescuing? If I’d known you just wanted a Janitor, I would’ve left things to Rabid and Sunday.”

“Har har,” another new voice broadcast. “We’re still minutes out and you know it. Break some faces for us, Nemesis.”

“Roger roger,” the first pilot replied. “Demon Hawks, joking aside, we’re here to help. I’m told you have Target Acquisition Gear? We’re dragging a bit and I’d like to drop a little weight, so now would be an exceptional time to paint something that looks expensive.”

Yowza. We took some serious hits that round. Demon Lance got the Kirghiz lead in return though. Too bad those Elementals refuse to die but maybe those new Revenants will have better luck. What could possibly be the ??? loadout in their center torso slots? Does the BT universe have a dead man's switch of any sort?

ACEs are definitely dicks. And for an Elemental killer I am rather ineffectual against them. We've got Arrow IV on the field now with Nemesis flight though. Perhaps I'll have better luck TAGing something.

Edit: Also, PTN, I think you're giving the Komodo Gunnery 3 instead of 4 this turn but it doesn't look like it hurt anything.

Hey, so is the Po pilot going to get Warcrime'd by the Elementals now? If so that sucks rear end.

Edit: There are Clanners flanking around on the East side and the convoy is getting dangerously close to the Clan mechs. And there are still swarming Elementals about. This is a tense fight!

So, we lose a Po and a big chunk of the Tempest. (Plus the Osprey's ablative arm and ct armor.) We get rid of the highest ranking clanner in the battlespace in one of the nastiest rides.

There are few things as :getin: as hearing 'So, we heard you had TAG...' from a new ally. Also, new Revenants on assist orders.

Shouldn't I have put an MPL into Point Coleen? It's in range and in arc and not Point Mabel.

Also, looks like I better get my rear end into the Warhawk's killzone to give him a nasty surprise.

FYI - Elemental point mabel is probably in 1922. Keep that in mind if you're going to fight in that forest. I tried to find point Graves this turn with Bane but it's moved to who the gently caress knows where.

As both the lights are effectively garbage at fighting elementals. I"m probably going to shoot the mech that just waltz'd into the city and hope point Graves doesn't :ninja: out of somewhere and kill one of the little guys.

It might be up to dis astranagant and the Fatlas. I don't think the Komodo has an angle on anything this turn except Elementals.

Good luck painting that Warhawk, DA. Your command quirk will come in handy if you get woods in between you.

As both the lights are effectively garbage at fighting elementals. I"m probably going to shoot the mech that just waltz'd into the city and hope point Graves doesn't :ninja: out of somewhere and kill one of the little guys.

Mabel has a single trooper with no armor. In the event that they try an anti mech attack they take +7 TN on their leg attacks and +5 on swarm.

I'm more worried about the location of Point Graves, which I'm having trouble believing we don't know since it can only be 6 away from 1425.

Oh, Point Graves has to be somewhere on the line between 1721 and 2022.

That's Mabel that disappeared in there and you are correct it is almost totally dead. Graves is missing completely.

Edit: I see what you're saying now. That's really the only place it could be with Bane being where it is.

No, I mean Graves. That's the only place it can be given its last known location and our BAP coverage the last 2 turns.

I gotcha. I went and looked at where Graves was first spotted so I now know what you mean. So both Mabel and Graves are in that forest.

Goonlance is killing a hell of a lot of Clanner higher ups on this op.

A Star Commander and a Star Colonel right? I think that's it.

Yep. The uncertainty on Graves' location means pretty much anywhere adjacent to the woods could get you jumped by a pristine point.

Does Arrow IV do splash? That might be one way to mess with the elementals.

Ah man what the hell. loving Elementals.

Hey, so is the Po pilot going to get Warcrime'd by the Elementals now? If so that sucks rear end.

I would expect not, at least while a fight is still happening. There are pretty good odds that they hate Amaris and mercenaries working for Amaris enough to kill prisoners out of spite, but there will be time for that after they're done chasing glory in battle.
