True, I was thinking in terms of weapons because, y'know, Steiner so we use quads.

And I was thinking in terms of Elementals, which got their in-universe reputation by being loving terrifying if they manage to Swarm.

Just confirming my orders for 0920 are submitted, with contingencies to protect any friendlies in the swarm zone (especially the Dragoon II) and otherwise to try to pick off any Elementals in the open. Also: AAAA you can also add a stomp physical for any battle armor in your hex that fail to swarm you - you might be aware already but I didn't see it on the google doc. Just in case, since you have no non-swarm zone movement option. LeschNyhan fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Feb 9, 2018 |

I think I will be backing up to 1020 and unloading two Plasmas and an LPL at the Elementals in 1319, with conditionality to deal with if they end up out of LoS. I have added my move orders to the google doc. I added a bunch of links to this turn because I got tired of having to find PTN's post to get record sheets or whatever. Since we have some extra time I will debate my shooting options and phrasing of the orders a while yet. As an "In General" type of question, do you guys think I should focus fire on Elementals/Battle Armor, or should I try to get an LPL onto a Battlemech as a secondary target?

Yeah I'm torn on whether I should be trying to degrade/destroy elementals or focus on the mechs. I'm leaning towards Mechs just because, hey, that's our primary objective and all. But I'd rather not have to dance around the elementals denying us the best bits of the map.

Killing Elementals opens up maneuver lanes much faster than killing enemy 'Mechs, especially while they're Aces.

Strobe posted:Killing Elementals opens up maneuver lanes much faster than killing enemy 'Mechs, especially while they're Aces. Yeah this has been my approach. I’ve run a few scenarios like PTN with friends who are not bt nerds and winning initiative with no aces like we get to is so strong for even beginners. Killing aces quickly is really good for our team.

This next turn we're pulling back, consolidating. We want to clear our lanes of fire. The Elementals are also part of our objective, so let's take them out. Paragon, you take out the ones at 0916. Manny, you get the ones on 1220. It's a depleted point of Ironholds, so you should be able to clear them on our own. Let's get chktshadeclaw to drop ordinance to help out Paragon, seeing as they still have four active Elementals, and they still have their SRMs. Also, I think chktshadeclaw has a clear line of fire... unless they move.

You'll be in good company. Manny and I are there too, contemptuously showing our bottom at the Fire Moth. We do have a friendly Gurkha looking to gut a Clanner. I swear, that unit icon always makes me think of the Gurkhas as invincible 'Mech gutting machines.

 please tell me if you're activating MASC! I'm going to let this go once, but I need it to be explicit since MASC has a failure chance. Edit: I do have to add, that was very, very well positioned.

Aeaea 7 “New contact, bearing—poo poo,” Varsha cursed. “Disregard, disregard!” Captain Réka twisted as she drove into the rear of the enemy assault formation. They either hadn’t noticed her, or they’d disregarded the threat she and Dieudonné posed to their larger machines. Assault ‘Mech pilots tended to be so myopic, fixating on other big ‘Mechs to the exclusion of all others. According to one of the Wolverine assault jocks she’d run simulator battles with and against, they had so much firepower it was “practically unfair” to leverage it against a light ‘Mech. In her experience, that sentiment lingered right up until the first time a light ‘Mech managed to wriggle in behind an assault’s big, slow rear end. A pair of pulse lasers flickered a few meters behind her. At least one of the Coyotes had recognized the danger—the medium ‘Mech, of course. Medium ‘Mechs had to pay nearly as much attention to their surroundings as lights did. She raised a couple of fingers in a quick salute even as the angular Clan machine started to come around to face her. It was already far too late. “Say again,” Captain Brannigan’s unsettling monotone sent an involuntary shiver down Réka’s spine. Rim World Regulars were always a bit odd, but the chemically-enhanced combat coordinators were something else altogether. She was momentarily grateful that most of the so-called Legion had been left behind. Legionnaires may be the “future” of combat for the manpower-starved Republic, but every one she’d ever spoken had been even worse. Brannigan at least had some personality off the battlefield. “My sensors picked up a heavy metal deposit and some movement,” Varsha explained. “No contacts, the enemy is not being reinforced. Apologies for the false report.” “Understood,” Brannigan wasn’t even angry, it was clear she’d already completely disregarded Varsha’s contact report. That was another advantage she had over the Legion, Stefan Amaris VII’s champion trusted the Wolverines in a way Amaris himself did not. For all his brilliance, Stefan Amaris VII was no Mechwarrior. Either BattleMechs frightened him, or the Wolverines’ independence did. His champion served, among other things, as a buffer to keep tensions as low as possible. If Brannigan’s presence was a sign of the Republic’s continued trust, the inclusion of the Legion Battalion was a symptom of the Stefan Amaris VII’s paranoia. She put that out of her mind along, but she couldn’t dismiss Varsha’s hasty report so easily. Circe wasn’t as mineral starved as some other Clan worlds were said to be, it was possible her Nyx had simply detected a surface deposit and some wind-blown leaves. Still, the hairs on the back of Réka’s neck stood on end. If they did get flanked by a second enemy force, the battle would be over in a matter of seconds. She couldn’t come up with any reason the Clans wouldn’t have already mined minerals easily detected by BattleMech sensors. Especially so close to one of their own facilities. “Varsha,” she barked as she dropped her crosshairs on the Varangian’s broad, square back. “If you can spare a moment, take a closer look with your Mark I Eyeballs. Worst case, they’ve got more battle armor or ‘Mechs than we expected. Best case, it may be some friendly “bandit caste” rebels we can make contact with.” “Good thought,” Brannigan’s voice was empty even when she gave praise. “Don’t take too long. The Clans are giving us a pounding.” “Right,” Réka agreed as she jammed her thumb down on the Gurkha’s firing stud. “Let’s pound them back.”    Movement Phase Coyote (Player) - Unable to face hex 0919: insufficient MP (needs 9, has 8)!

Oh my god you guys that was a great round. We have a chance to finish off the Fire Moth and more importantly the Dire Wolf, and a lot of the Elementals are significantly depleted. Lot of options to think about here. I’ll post another Elemental movement map late tonight or tomorrow.

Just please check your targets. If they've got "Fire Resistant" on them, don't shoot 'em with Plasma or Infernos!

PoptartsNinja posted:Edit: I do have to add, that was very, very well positioned. This turn is going to be fun. PoptartsNinja posted:Ok, now. EDIT: Welp, that'll teach me to leave a reply open while checking the previous update and not refreshing the current page... Your Player Movement map image is borked because of a conflict between timg and img tags, making it difficult to see where the action was headed until I actually got to the Combat log. DI sure did not disappoint. Sensor hit to the head, rear crits disabling weapons in the torsos, and then your sword causing an ammo explosion that blows up half the mech and knocks the enemy Star Colonel in the biggest threat unconscious, leaving him with just his right arm PPCs and a ER Medium firing on damaged sensors if he ever gets back up before you finish him off? Yeah, I'd say that was a successful bushwhacking. Now to decide whether to try and finish him off before the rest of his Star turns around to confront you or disengage and head for the cover of the base before venturing out again. The Fire Moth shutting down because of heat is good, even if it did get in a couple of good hits while doing so. It got pummeled for it's trouble and lost most of it's firepower even before shutting down, but too bad the sword couldn't connect to finish it off. It can probably be ignored for a turn or two while GoonWolverines consolidate and engage the heavier hitters now in shooting range. Too bad the Coyote lost it's whip arm before we could see it actually used. The position you guys are in isn't too bad right now, though the heavier Star has just moved into good firing range, since their heaviest hitter is now down due to DI pulling off the perfect backstab. Took some decent armor damage, so the bigger guys moving in might be a bit concerning, but it shouldn't be too bad. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Feb 14, 2018 |
