Going back to bonus chat, an actual full-on negotiation during combat is not feasible but you could probably go with something like this:

"Intentionally inviting a battleship-scale bombardment on our position is not within mission scope. We'll be submitting a hefty compensation package and expect it to be fulfilled."

With "hefty" being whatever Jason/Duncan (aka. PTN) deems appropriate when they're back at base.

if they broadcast that, couldn't the clanners theoretically intercept it and figure out there's some shenanigans going on?

Meh. When you're the specific target, the difference between a battleship and a destroyer is completely irrelevant. You're hosed if you're under naval bombardment by anything.

I think that's a good combo of businesslike and, uh, mercenary.

I wouldn't try it, since the Demon Hawks already accepted the risk of this scenario in principle when they were briefed on the mission. They just know that it is for sure happening now and are being asked to time their already planned escape more precisely.

Yeah, we were aware of possible bombardment in general from the outset.

If you were told that your mission involves getting hit with an atom bomb, you can't suddenly freak out when whoops we meant hydrogen bomb. The difference in how hosed you are if you're at ground zero is largely academic.

Someone can correct me, but if you turn on concrete and then run, you have to make a PSR. The PSR gets more difficult the farther you run.

If you turned before moving, the check should be [4 Pilot skill - 1 Distance Traveled = 3], so only difficult if :battletech: happens. If you turn on concrete at the end of your move or only walk regardless of turning, there is no check necessary.

Here is the table.

Okay, orders are in. Moving to 1433 and either firing on Goshawk 5 (if TAGged) or Copperhead Alpha (if no TAG). Also blasting both MLs into Goshawk 2 and kicking it. Gotta put that bastard down.

Orders are in for me as well. I'm running to 1436 and filling Goshawk 1's back with pulse lasers. It'll expose my back to the heavy lance, but I have more rear armor on my CT then front armor anyway.

Hmmm.. I've got a 4 in 5 chance of making it, so I guess I'll give it a shot. Okay, I'm going to run to 0737 and unload into the Wolverine and hope for the best.

I'm not sure that it's worth going directly behind it, you trade a potential kick for being at short range for the micro pulses on the ERLL arm. You can keep all your weapons at short range by running to 1933 facing 1833, which also grants partial cover against the heavies (Even though it's super likely that they'll be shooting the atlas grasshopper or salamander instead of you). You could jump, too, but without much return fire threat you might like the better shots from running instead.

I didn't think mechs could shoot directly behind them?

Still, if someone else is going directly behind that little monster, I'll cheerfully bounce up the hill and snipe it in the back instead.

People have got to start consolidating a bit. Lots of turns to go.

Also really hurt mechs should run away. Screamer can risk it if it stays at long rang and max move the rest of the game.

I don't think it'd make any difference due to torso-twisting, but it might.

Mechs without lower arm and hand actuators can turn their arms around to face behind them, allowing them to bring both arms to bear on targets. Mechs that have lower arm/hand actuators can torso twist and bring one arm to bear, because arm mounted weapons have an additional hex worth of "twist" as the arm can swing outside the torso arc.

The second case applies if they have a lower arm actuator but no hand actuator. You have to be missing both to flip, and you can't have a hand actuator without also having a lower arm actuator.

Hmm, so seven more turns of this before the enemy is guaranteed reinforcements, and then four turns of organized withdrawal to frustrate Kraken Grandpa.

Things are looking bright if there aren't any reinforcements in between, they're probably going to lose a Goshawk this turn and double digit odds on the Wolverine and Stooping Hawk, plus potential luckier kills. 1-3 this turn.

The enemy is bleeding white on its skirmishers, and while Kaz and friends are bound to do some serious damage they'll be badly outgunned soon.

Edit: and they had like a minute to find explosives or something

Perhaps.

But you didn't send orders, so of course someone immediately slipped on the pavement.

Also, y'all have no idea how tempting it is for me to have players who give me a target hex number but don't declare an actual `Mech as their target shoot at the hex itself. I know what you mean, but hexes are valid targets.

I didn't send orders because I (mistakenly?) assumed that the consciousness roll was my turn, e.g. best case scenario I wake up and then do things the following turn.

It is, I'm just needy and like people to say 'hi' every round even if they're unconscious. 'Cause being unconscious sucks and I always get paranoid that someone will say 'gently caress this' and stop paying attention after being out for 2+ turns.

Now the fun part, finding out how much of the Stooping Hawk's arsenal it can fire (everything but the small laser) without overheating.

Edit: Maaybe not quite enough respect shown the 55 tonner that's only two damage shy of the Atlas's firepower and runs cool enough to fire all of it? I dunno, it's hard to say. We'll see if the kick pays off!

Air Raid: Tactical Update 9

“在我的頭骨龜舞,” Yul moaned, her hand rising to rub her skull. Her fingers smashed against her Neurohelmet’s faceplate, the sharp pain enough to draw the world back into focus. Almost. Motes of colored light danced and exploded in her peripheral vision, like a thousand fireflies sniping at one another with tiny laser rifles. She tried to focus, but her eyes only partially cooperated. Her `Mech’s hud swum in and out of focus, taunting her with information she couldn’t read.

She depressed her helmet’s broadcast trigger with her chin, transmitting on a lance-level frequency. She hoped. “Yul to Hawk, how long was I out?”

“Hawk took a hit to the cockpit—he is still fighting, but has lost his comms.” The ‘Bondswoman,’ Noretti was the first to reply. The most Yul had ever heard her say. She was warming up to the Demon Hawks, Yul’s mind presented a scenario unbidden. Or perhaps when the battle was joined she’d simply slipped into old habits. Or—a piercing shriek drew her round face into a pained wince as Icepick’s Chameleon skidded across the tarmac a few dozen meters away. There was a deafening crunch as the bulbous BattleMech smashed into the legs of the Clan Wolverine-analog, but the enemy pilot didn’t even have the common decency to fall over.

“You have been unconscious for somewhere between six and ten seconds.” Noretti continued, amending only moments later, “Which is fortunate. You undoubtedly have a concussion. If it had knocked you unconscious for an extended period you likely would have suffered brain damage.”

“Which is super bad for you,” the man Yul knew only as COOTS interjected. “Focus on the fight, people. We can make fun of Yul’s brain damage later.”

“Hers is nothing compared to yours,” Noretti exploded furiously, but there didn’t seem to be much real bite behind her bark. “Yul, I do not know your condition, but if you are in bad shape you should withdraw from the field. I have seen many warriors push on when they should not, and do themselves irreparable harm in the process. You are not yet dead, so you must consider whether or not continuing to fight is—of worth.”
