mekilljoydammit posted:Would spectators prefer we post orders in here too? If so. I'm starting to think it might be better for our heavier lances to start focusing on neutralizing their Capellan equals while scout-killing is left to the scout lance. Our firepower is low-to-middling but our maneuverability is pretty high, which makes us much more suited to chasing vehicles around, whereas we don't really have the firepower to put down high-armor targets like you guys can. While our heavies have been trying to pop scouts, the Cappies have slipped a medium and a heavy into prime backshotting positions at the bottom of the map, and they have a supporting assault pushing down that way as well. We really need to start matching our mechs to targets more effectively or we're going to be outwitted by Capellans, and how will we ever be able to show our faces in the Concordat after that?

Mm, I do basically agree... this turn the scout car just ended up in the right place at close range. I was just looking at *that particular* scout car and thinking that if it doesn't go down this firing turn, chasing it down will be hard as heck. And looking at our mission objectives, if we focus on it a bit, killing 4 more nice thin scouts is going to be a lot easier than killing off 9 more mechs that outmass us significantly.

Fair point about the mission objectives, but we won't be able to accomplish either objective if we let heavier Capellan mechs outmaneuver ours and drive them off the field before we can finish our work. Gotta at least keep them honest, you know? As for that scout car, it's a zippy little jerk, but I've placed the Javelin with an eye to handling that. If we don't manage to kill that scout car this turn, the Javelin can move to another suitable firing position atop the ridge and zap the Swift Wind anywhere within 12 hexes using Range Master from on high. If the Scarabus survives being in Medium range of an assault mech for a turn, I will likely use it to do something suitably insane to throw off Capellan positioning, a task for which it and its pilot seem ideally suited.

Retaking Sirdar Update 6 Carina winced as Sgt. Borst’s scream was cut decisively short. She’d been fighting for a long time, but she’d never gotten used to losing friends—acquaintances, really, in Borst’s case. He’d been a tall, thin man with a long, pointed nose—which had earned him his nickname so long ago that even Carina couldn’t remember who’d given it to him. They were long dead, and now Borst had joined them. She didn’t know much more about the man—like all Javelin pilots he’d just seemed sort of ubiquitous, especially back when the Duchy was still part of the AFFS. His career hadn’t been anything spectacular, but he’d been reliable, unassuming, and capable. Precisely the sort of Mechwarrior the Sirdar Militia favored. She’d bet money on the new kid dying first: Fungi was just that sort, a glory-seeking FNG who probably wouldn’t survive three missions without a lot of luck on his side. The Draconis Combine called kids like him Dragons’ Tears, ostensibly because the Dragon cried whenever one of them died—but in practice because the DCMS was usually strengthened by shedding them. It all made her glad she’d never had kids of her own. It was too much hassle—and she’d already shed enough blood for Duchy and Homeworld. “Stay with me, Wither,” Sgt. Mitchel broadcast on their private line. They’d set it up in semi-secret ages ago—they worked so well as a pair that the White Knight chose to look the other way when he’d found out. “I’ve got your back, you know that,” She swiveled the Grasshopper’s head to get a better look at Suresh Mitchell’s Marauder. “Just keep doing your thing, F.T.C.” “drat straight,” She could picture Suresh’s grim smile. He always got vicious when a friendly bought it. “gently caress The Capellans.”   Movement Phase Hunchback (Player) - Insufficient MP to reach hex 1808: needs 5, has 4!

I'm going to keep on the Stalker and see if I can draw any of the heavy lance. The rest of you guys are more mobile than me so should focus on downing those scouts quick so we can meet the primary objective. Thinking about jumping the Marauder into 0919 and the Grasshopper into 0822.

gently caress that snake. Not sure what to do here. That menshen puts out a shitload of damage and my mediums can't take it, but they're in a good position to take out that swift wind. Thinking I might jump my blackjack onto the bridge, and push my shadow hawk up into 0928 to shoot at the swift wind and be in a good spot to stomp on it next turn if it lives.

Well, now we can be extra sure the ridgeline is a no-fly zone. Looks like you're better off using it to break LOS with the Crusader and Jinggau, each capable of dropping a silly amount of damage on top anything in medium range. They're the hardest-hitting Capellans on the field.Wafflecopper posted:But should goon company destroy the scouts... or kill them?

They're the hardest-hitting Capellans on the field. Hindsightfully agreed. I'd been trying to use terrain to keep the Javelin masked or at least semi-masked from the heavy/assault lance, then I moved to have clear LOS to zap scouts from afar without keeping it hull-down and pow, vaporized. So much for my plans to set it up to provide fire support for the Scarabus' backstab shenanigans! Lesson definitely learned, though. I will now focus on keeping minimal LOS to the Scarabus, only with trees instead of terrain.

So. Sorry to doublepost, but I just noticed that the Marauder jumped to 1020, blocking the Scarabus from getting into cover, leaving it incredibly exposed to the Stalker AND unable to fire on the Swift Wind in 0719. Y'all didn't put this down on the spreadsheet before the turn was processed, so I had no way of knowing. I would very much like to avoid a recurrence. If you don't want to use the spreadsheet, could you please at least post your orders in-thread? Realbarrow fucked around with this message at 10:07 on May 22, 2017 |

Hm. New thinking - if I take the Orion to 1212 I can probably potshot that scout tank with it too and then kick the hell out of the Sha Yu; could probably also set up a contingency to shoot the tank if the Warhammer doesn't connect with it or shoot the Sha Yu if the Warhammer does. The way I have the Orion stuck in, I'm not sure I can make it back out - maybe if I cheese Forest Ranger enough, but I'm guesstimating 2 turns before I have to get out of dodge. The odds of spontaneous battleteching are much lower with Alpha Strike - we're not going to be able to kill all of the mechs. Either the counterstrike *or* command lance maybe, but I just am not seeing both. So we will lose if we don't kill the recon stuff.

I'll get the watchman near your Orion. I can support your Warhammer too by moving the Hunchie to 1810, although the enemy Vindicator is destroying me. We've got to double-team the Lao Hu next turn though!

That might get you out of LOS of the Vindicator though. I think you might have shots on the Sha Yu or Galleon B from there though. Be careful if you're going to wade the Watchman into that mess. I'm trying to keep enough trees between the Orion and Jinggau to spoil its LOS, to say nothing of that drat Crusader. Oh yeah, PTN? If a unit gets its movement halved by Demoralizer, does that reduce its TMM too?

Anywhere else in short range is too exposed to the Stalker. 0923 isn't much better, as it's exposed to the Men Shen. Anywhere in medium range is probably obscured by 3+ tree hexes. So, okay, I'll deal with the Swift Wind. Better a turn late than never, because next turn it's going to drive right to and possibly off of the bottom of the map. Turn 7, I will do something more dashing. Literally. Dashing somewhere I can set up to dash somewhere else and heroically axe somebody in the back so I can avenge Needlenose. F.T.C!

Retaking Sirdar Update 7 “The lieutenant’s down,” Sgt. Todorov’s report was grim and matter-of-fact. A big, almost joyless man, Todorov had served with the militia for as long as any member of Seventh Company could remember. He’d earned his nickname decades ago, and kept it because of his propensity to use the club-like protrusions on the backs of the Warhammer’s elbows like giant hammers in close combat. “I guess that leaves me—” “If you say ‘In Charge’ Fungi, I swear I’ll shoot you myself,” Sgt. Mitchell cut the young firebrand off at the knees. “You’re not even in our lance and we’ve got a chain of command for a reason. You want to prove you’re a hotshot? Stick to the plan and follow orders.” “How’s White Knight?” Captain Dancey interrupted. Smoke still wafted from the barrel of his Shadow Hawk’s shoulder-mounted autocannon. He’d put a shell clean through the Swift Wind. It’d been swerving its way down the bridge, so terrified of F.T.C.’s Marauder it’d barely noticed the mediums lying in wait for it. Dancey did a quick check for other priority targets, but most of the surviving enemy scouts were running. The regiment could afford to lose the lot of them if they successfully secured a foothold. “Unclear,” was Todorov’s reply. “Too many trees for a good look. Might be dead. Might be alive. Either way, he’s out of the fight.” “Roger,” Dancey said automatically. “Alright everyone, let’s win the field so we can recover him.” “Or bury him.” Todorov finished.

Might be a bit tricky if it decides to try and play keepaway while the heavier Cappellan assets take the rest of you guys out, but that tank has an objective to reach past you guys and I doubt PTN would try and draw out the mission like that for us. Just take out the tank and you should be golden here.

Hm, poo poo, I was planning on being out of LOS of that damned Crusader; I thought that L5 hill would block it. I guess 1112 would have been better? Also ha ha ha ha ha ha, holy poo poo did I piss them off, apparently. Uhm, wait, pardon. 1212's wooded; with Forest Ranger SPA, doesn't that add +1 to the Orion's TMM, or did you roll that into the +2 woods modifiers already? Looking at what you rolled, I'm sure you can see why I'm pretty curious about that. No worries if not - I knew that was going to be risky. Some joke about "it was a calculated risk, but it turns out I'm bad at math"
