Also remember: the Nergal's the first unit to move (it should be moving before the Clanners as sort of a reverse-ACE thing, but I'm not going to punish T.G. by making him send in blind orders) Edit: Ahaha, ok. So a 6 is usually a miss on the plasma arc, and plasma normally can't arc from the Center Torso to the head anyway because damage flows neither to nor from that location, but that's boxcars on that pair of scatter dice. I'm giving that to you. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Aug 3, 2016 |

They're easy, but compass directions throw me off for a good ten seconds whenever I get one. Which may not seem like a lot, but it's surprisingly disruptive when I'm thinking of everything in terms of hex numbers.

In that case I will use hexes to refer to facing, so you have more time for fluff. Or non battletech things, that's ok too.

Hexes having six sides would make using cardinal directions in orders cumbersome, I'd imagine. About as cumbersome as that sentence I just typed.

Well, it's usually a matter of: Move to hex ####, turn to face #### and advance to ####. End facing northwest. Which throws me for a loop for a half second while I reorient myself because I don't tend to use the cardinal directions a lot in the real world. As I mentioned in the PM, doesn't really bother me in small scenarios (other than making me attack that player a bit more often  ), but the more players there are the more I quietly hope for 'end facing hex ####.'I've also gotten orders in the past that consisted entirely of "move X hexes northeast, turn south and~" and those really do drive me nuts, which is the big reason why it's slowly, after five years, turned into a pet peeve.

Nergal Reactor: Tactical Update 6 “C’mon, punch out,” Ronin muttered under his breath as one of the Clan assault `Mechs faltered. A strobing pulse from one of the Nergal’s lasers had practically cleaved the `Mech in half, but as it toppled the pilot didn’t budge. A controlled fall in a BattleMech was always dangerous, but an uncontrolled fall like that could be deadly. Even strapped in, a Mechwarrior was only a tiny fraction of the machine’s weight; and when a seventy-five kilo pilot was thrown towards the ground by ninety tons of war machine it had a nasty tendency to batter the pilot’s brain against the inside of their own skull. The Clan pilot didn’t eject. Bethany muttered a curse over the company comms, “they’ve bid away their ejection seats,” she said, mysteriously. As if on cue the Clan pilots let loose with a furious, incoherent roar over their loudspeakers. “They plan to kill us or die in the attempt,” Bethany explained. “And five of them are as-yet unaccounted for. Remain cautious.”   Movement Phase Atlas III (player) - Unable to reach destination hex: path blocked by allied large unit!

PoptartsNinja posted:Well, it's usually a matter of: So what I've learned from this is that Ronin needs to use compass directions whenever possible while moving at full speed. But I'll use hexes for facings in future. :P Edit: There is no large enough, that is a few more aces than I was expecting to turn up.

Note that Cull the Weak is contagious. The wolf spider and others have it now. So decision time: we can go after the smaller mechs to clear cull the weak, bonus points if we kill those that have just gained cull the weak, or we can go after the ace assault star. vorebane fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Aug 3, 2016 |

I'm thinking the Varangian and the Warhawk need to go down sharpish

And also the Bobcat shut down. Gotta decide whether we play to defend him or hope for the best. edit: As far as guys currently vulnerable to getting killed, the Thunderchild has open front CT and 10 structure left, Crossbow Beta has a unarmoured back CT, Swordbreaker has 5 back CT armour left. The Varan and the warhawk are missing some leg armour. Everyone else is basically pristine in the spots that might kill them. I definitely want the assaults to not have ace anymore, the few minutes since the update have been more than enough. vorebane fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Aug 4, 2016 |

From the targeting numbers, I'm assuming the "Sohei" in my shooting phase is supposed to be the Warhawk. Also: WELP, the dice gods deemed me just as unworthy as the Sohei pilot. That ACE Warhawk is going to have a field day with me.

The Warhawk is going to kill someone next turn, but another player might be able to make themselves a more tempting target to give you a chance to power up and leg it. If it gets left alone I guarantee the `Mech it kills is going to be you, though.

Now that I know for a fact that the Nergal moves first I'm going to get out of the Atlas' way and start opening up on the Varangian. Also sorry thetruegent, that error was on me, I should've doublechecked the turn order with PTN. I can lateral shift down elevation changes, right? If so I can use all of my run MP to get into that depth-2 water and off the dam. Now that a bunch of them are Aces now we're gonna need to keep those contingencies in mind from hereon out.

So...the Atlas can't move back at all? Why? Is there anywhere I *can* move, other than forward? Does distracting only works for player units, since Clan units don't need contingency orders? I thought friendly units could pass through friendly units, as long as the turn didn't end with them in the same spot. thetruegentleman fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Aug 4, 2016 |

Look at it this way: you guys took 170 tons off the field this turn, and there's an open CT.
