It's alright. It's going to be OK. The on-map numbers equalize at the start of turn 5...

Equal numbers of infantry erupting from trap doors all around the map at the precise moment the planned explosives close your escape tunnel and the objective changes to a daring aerotech theft to escape.

Air Raid: Tactical Update 5 “Hell—HELL!” Lam’ah jerked at her controls, twisting the Lancelot’s spindly arms up and down and wiggling its angular torso back and forth in an attempt to scatter damage all over her machine rather than letting the enemy hit her where they wanted. She felt none of the telltale hammer blows of direct hits, but the short hairs on the back of her neck stood on end and in the all-consuming thrum of near misses she could taste the ozone in the air. The enemy had opened fire on her—not the single machine she’d been expecting, but its entire Lance. A billowing cloud of steam crossed the distance between, caressing the Lancelot’s armor like inquisitive fingers. Even with Icepick’s Chameleon a few paces ahead Lam’ah felt shockingly alone. Her Lancelot could’ve weathered the punishment—probably—but it’d take her almost half a minute to get back to anything resembling reasonable cover. “They’re not supposed to fight like that!” “Yeah, well, maybe they’re smartening up,” Jason’s voice was unsympathetic. “We knew the cake walk couldn’t last forever, but we’ve got a job to do. Let’s knock down some of this hardware.” “There are more enemy `Mechs approaching,” Icepick’s voice was cold and devoid of emotion, all business. There was no trace of panic. It was calming in its own way, even though the utter, shocking emptiness of it was a far cry from the warm young man Lam’ah had met a few weeks prior. “Forget the planes and let the rabbits chase the rabbits. We need to get in and mix things up.” “That bunch is way too organized,” Lam’ah agreed. As if on cue the five of them took to the air twisting and shifting positions, scrambling themselves and confusing her sensors for a few moments. They came within meters of striking one another, but the dance was so controlled, so perfectly choreographed she doubted any lance in the League could’ve pulled it off. “They’re going to start picking us off one by one.”   Movement Phase Ostscout - Turns on concrete: must pass a piloting test or fall (4 base + 1 heavy rain - 1 distance traveled = 4): rolled 7, succeeds!

Note that Kaz is packing ER Large Pulse Lasers, so be sure to double check your range from him if you're going to dance around being a jumpy rear end in a top hat. He's got a couple hexes bonus on all 3 brackets.

Well that wasn't a great turn. I'm thinking of cutting over to 1131 or there about, to get closer to the heavies and to have more room to maneuver, any thoughts? Also, are we going to focusing fire on the original star or the goshawks?

Right, with those wind vortexes I'm now in a whole lot of useless without the OTT getting closer and doing some lasing for me. If I'm going to have any hope in hell at hitting things, I'm gonna need to REALLY restrict my movement. Salamander plan: Hold position. I've got 9s on the Urbie and 10s on the David and four out of the five Goshawks. I'm sure to take a few hits, but I can take a few. I can also move to 1830 and that'll give me 9s on the 1026 Goshawk, but I'm really not too eager to get any closer to them.

If I'm going to have any hope in hell at hitting things, I'm gonna need to REALLY restrict my movement. I'd move just enough to not give that Vixen backshots- The LPL it's packing will breach any section of your rear armor and potentially OHKO you thanks to ammo everywhere. 2031 facing 2030 should at least protect your rear for this turn. Might also be a good time to drop smoke right behind the Goshawks, help block LoS from the reinforcement lance and give you guys some time to just fight the stuff currently in range without suffering potshots.

Hmm. This is going to get interesting fast. So, some off the cuff thoughts to mull over! Hey Tempest_56, think your Salamander might want to unlimber some Smoke rounds between the Goshawks and the incoming lance? Or work out with Loxbourne in the Screamer to provide smoke coverage to help guard a jumpy-rear end in a top hat-backshot move? Either way, mitigating incoming fire - even if its slim chances - means less dice being thrown AT us rather than BY us. Food for thought. As for the rest of us in Demon "Star" and any other mechs not on infantry, jumpy shenanigan, or light hunting duties...we should decide as a group. Either we go in this turn, or we go in next turn, and ruin days in a slobberknocker. The Atlas has its TSM primed, but heading in piecemeal will offer up 175 tons on a platter for Goshawk Scalpel Surgery if lacking support. But some careful backing up could work almost as effectively if you all would rather suck them in a bit more. Risky on either stance, but let us at least get opinions out there and discussed.

I'm pretty sure two of the ACE Heavy Jump Infantry squads are about to jump out of the 1826 woods next turn, so keep that in mind. It would be nice if the Komodo came back north to kill them when they pop out. Edit: I'm willing to take the Flashman into the fray this turn, but that'll leave light hunting duties to our lights. If we don't go in, I'll probably maneuver to shoot the Vixen. Ardlen fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 9, 2016 |

Look at all those Pulse lasers. That thing really is a Hawk (and Screamer!) hunter. I see the storm has intensified, and missiles are now getting penalties. Why did you have to leave us so soon, Awesome.  How did Angry Grandpa even get here. Wasn't he stuck in a solahma unit in the rear end end of nowhere? My memory of that is pretty fuzzy, aside from him being a cool guy all around. Or am I thinking of a different character?

Why did you have to leave us so soon, Awesome. Angry clan grandpa is with the Snow Raven/Sea Fox/Ghost Bear task force hunting Amaris- He came onscreen in the "Ultimatum" mission where Amaris dumped his "YO COME FITE" message in the laps of the waiting clans, right in the middle of their trial of passage with Duncan Marik. So he should totally be with the force here on Andurien, since I don't think the clans have split up at all. There was also one other smart clanner that I think came out of that scenario that we wanted to see do well, but I'll be damned if I can remember their name atm.

Ardien: Given positioning of your Flashman, light hunting is probably the most useful thing this turn. The whole bit with the Vixen being right in your sights and all, but be prepared to move to support after wiping that off the hill. Or savaging it enough to make it no longer worth your time. And to be absolutely clear, I am in no way suggesting anyone but maybe the Atlas get within range of all those micro pulse lasers either. I just happen to have a nice sweetspot at 4 hexes, and he just happens to have a TSM Justice Foot. But the Justice Foot may well be a bad call while Goshawk Sentai Laser Squad is uniformly together. E: I am bad at remembering enemy mech designations while typing posts, apparently. Fixed, but I think Ardien knew what I meant in the first place anyway.

I'm going to jump forward to 1334 and shoot goshawk 5 with lpl and 4 MLS. In the interests of focus fire shall we make 5 the one we all aim for if we're shooting goshawks? sebmojo fucked around with this message at 03:24 on May 9, 2016 |

The flashman is able to maneuver into a kicking position on that vixen, and is heavy enough to go internal immediately with a kick and potentially hobble it. But it won't be an easy roll to make with a 4/5 pilot.

Gwaihir posted:Angry clan grandpa is with the Snow Raven/Sea Fox/Ghost Bear task force hunting Amaris- He came onscreen in the "Ultimatum" mission where Amaris dumped his "YO COME FITE" message in the laps of the waiting clans, right in the middle of their trial of passage with Duncan Marik. So he should totally be with the force here on Andurien, since I don't think the clans have split up at all. I'm hoping for Val Magnus, who was a clan pilot in the update immediately before Ultimatum (Hastilitude?) She was still alive at the end before the NRWR blackguard showed up and had put down the remaining player. Also she was a 1/2 pilot when compared with the Knights, who I suspect by and large were better pilots than these mercs.

Notice the mood of the goshawk commander No more of this trueborn bullshit for him or I assume his drugged up gang of losers.

Paingod556 posted:I'll take 'another loving Golden BB' for 500. Sorry, OCD about this kinda stuff (since I was on the show just under two years ago now), but there haven't been odd-hundred valued Jeopardy clues in 15 years, since they doubled the clue value amounts back in 2001. Anyway, I guess the the amount of poo poo he has to put up with in order to get his Trueborns doing the coordinated Goshawk Star focus firing thing is why Star Captain Haze is In No Mood For Any More Trueborn Bullshit. Makes sense, they'd probably be chafing at his "dishonorable" orders here against GoonMercenary Company. At least their opening salvo pretty much all missed the Lancelot, though next turn I assuming their shots will get a lot more murderous, what with them closing the distance and PTN's dice being what they are. Also, returnees from last mission looking for revenge! And the Star Commander in a new ride too, gunning for the Demon Hawks' Bondsman piloting Jason's old ride. Hope Noretti comes out of this ok (and the Phoenix Hawk doesn't get trashed, ruining Jason's personal mech). Mechwarrior Ath might show up again if this runs long enough? Nice. The small amount of him we saw in the mission where the Clan Snow Raven/Sea Fox/Ghost Bear taskforce got merc'd by the NRWR right after the FWL challenge made me want to see more, and I'm glad we might here. He'll probably still be his old murder grandpa self, seeking death in battle for honor, but well enough to make a good fight of it, especially if you guys are banged up when he appears.

I'm thinking of having the Flashman just stand still and alpha strike the Vixen. I think I would be shooting on 8/9s, while it would be shooting me with 4/6s. I'm not certain if this is a good trade. Suggestions? Ardlen fucked around with this message at 04:53 on May 9, 2016 |
