Mukaikubo posted:Even my comforting vaguely alcoholic drink is taken from me You should have stuck with the pancakes I alluded to earlier in our preemptive victory celebration. It's Clan kyrptonite, and even their heaviest weapons cannot scar the golden brown deliciousness of pancakes. Dirty foreigners probably eat waffles, or some other such imitation product. Their technology in breakfast foods are as bastardized versions of our own as their mech tech.

B5 Lucerne must make a piloting test to avoid pilot damage (4 base + 0 movement + 1 attempting to avoid pilot damage = 5): rolled 6, succeeds! The Zeus’s left leg groaned as the metal heated—a fight like this would be hell on her ride; she doubted the 2nd Donegal Guard’s techs would forgive her for the metal fatigue her Zeus’s skeleton would suffer. After a fight like this, her machine might even be a total loss. Her lips twisted into a humorless smile. She didn’t have a future. Her last remaining duty was to sell her life as dearly as she could to give the Tigris a chance to lift. The Lucerne drew back, clearly preparing another kick. Sam acted, the Zeus planting its feet heavily as she gave the Clan ‘Mech a heavy shove. With only one foot on the ground, the Clan pilot tottered, tried to turn his kick into a step backwards—and found no ground beneath him. The Lucerne toppled, its legs shedding armor as it slid down the slope of the hill. Her Zeus, badly overbalanced, stepped into the space the Clanner had vacated.

While the Steiner Rules of unarmed combat were initially intended for boxing matches between mechs, they do not prohibit the use of kicks. Our worthy Clan opponent has shown us his preference for kickboxing, so let us show him how a Steiner kicks by stomping his head in!

I know they're dirty mercenaries and all, but I think that in this instance the Unwearied Second and its valiant defender, Lt. Samantha Clover, needs to take a page from the book of the Caballeros. And that page has only two words on it. Those two words are JUSTICE FOOT.

That push was a clever idea. Push the Lucerne out of the fire and claim victory. One large laser is probably enough to finish off the Mugger at this point, securing at least a partial victory. Of course, if the pilot wants to go for the full monty... This is still in the air. One almost unarmed mech against two clanners who can't shoot? Who knows?

They don't know the rules, we're making them up as we go, and Clans do have comparable rules about fleeing or leaving combat. You could just say "Much like the ancient sumo, and much like your own rules, leaving the combat ring is a forfeit."

That's the best time to kick! Seriously... can't you step on his head? Just a little? If there is really a rule that says you can't kick someone while they're down, then that is a stupid rule that no one would follow in real life. Sounds like it's time for a house rule!

Normally, I'd advocate trying to step on the Lucerne's cockpit for maximum amount of . But Leutnant Clover is a clever sort, and desperately needs to buy time. Back off, and let the Clanner stand to eat up a turn. Then proceed with vigorously apply JUSTICE FOOT.

She... what? Well normally one would walk up to the target in such a way that one is able to kick it in the head, but I suppose since we have the cardinal rule of "no sharing hexes" to deal with Samantha will only get to stare longingly at the supine enemy from 30 meters away? Is that the idea here? (It still sounds really stupid. )

I don't see anything in total warfare that precludes charging a prone mech. Much less damage than a kick without any speed behind it though.

And it's not like they have cameras on their feet to help aim anyways. Hell, I'd imagine it'd be pretty dificult to aim at anything underneath you, as I don't think the cockpit can look down far enough.
