Night10194 posted:Given you kind of planned to die last turn I think anything more you get done is gravy. As long as the Summoner ignores the Nyx it'll probably be fine. That right arm ER LPL could cut the left leg, and he's only at 5+1-2 this round. Nyx can only get +4 at the most. Osteon would struggle to hit it at 11 in the heavy woods. The Gurkha has an even better spot in the heavy woods donut, but something tells me DI is maxing out the offensive.

We need to get more fire on the Sept Z. We have no reason to believe the Clanners will help us achieve our secondary objective.

LeschNyhan posted:PTN - minor thing - my orders should have me facing 1018, not 1019 - is it ok if I give orders next turn as though I am facing 1018? I'm sorry, I thought I'd responded to this but I was at work and I must have missed hitting 'send' You didn't have enough MP for that final turn, you needed 6 and had 5. I'm going to take your orders as-is to avoid bogging things down. Edit: These crit rolls. The dice have decided that everyone gets to suffer today.

Aeaea 11 The Rampage toppled and fell as missiles rained down on its head and shoulders. One slab-like arm spun away as a lucky hit shattered the shoulder joint entirely. It toppled, oozing the cloying green smoke that suggested the fusion engine had been flooded with coolant and disabled, which was probably beyond the Wolverines’ current ability to repair. Moments later, the Champion’s Dragoon II fell to a burst of slugs from an enemy Gauss weapon. Harendra’s deeply tanned face twisted into a craggy scowl. The Champion would stand back up in a moment, but the Colonel was out of the battle entirely. “Beware, they’re targeting our leadership.” He broadcast. A moment later he grimaced. So far the enemy—whoever they were—had made primary targets of every ‘Mech capable of forcing a short-range transmission through their omnipresent jamming. “Or they’re targeting transmission sources.

Does Paragon have to walk his mech inside 1909 to secure it? Seems like that might be a bit counter-intuitive if it's a comm center and not a Mechbay! The other objective Mech is looking a bit pitted but it's grouped up next to a bunch of friendlies while there's the isolated pulseboat right behind the Savage Wolves, and the lone HAG-40 toting mech in the south. The C3 networks shuffled the last Cephalus out, so don't worry about killing it this turn. It's not giving anyone those big juicy C3i range advantages.

The Turkina got surfed off the map almost immediately and a barely-damaged Summoner Z just got headcapped, and despite battletech'ing some of their most dangerous mechs this is still a hell of a fight so far.

PoptartsNinja posted:Have to get some Elementals there. Fortunately the Coyotes are doing a good job of giving me things to shoot at that aren't Elementals. Ah, that makes sense! So one secondary is going to take 3 turns, and the other one is basically down to the whims of the dice. The banged up blue Nyx can still get more shots on it, with a nice looping path taking 1005-309->108 facing 107. 11 hexes moved, and you can twist to shoot the Septicemia Z . The downside is you'll proooobably take fire from the pulseboat that's right there, but it doesn't have great shots. 5base + 2movement + 1woods + 4 your movement = 10s for pulses and 12s for the AP gauss. So it's almost guaranteed that you get low profile benefits too (half damage if he rolls a 10 or 11 on the pulses, half damage guaranteed for the ap gauss.) Or you can take a way looping route to 1311 which still gets you the 11 hexes moved +4 mod and puts you at 6 range to the Septicemia Z, with far far more safety from the AP gauss boat. That's the good thing about havbing a 10/15 mech, lots of options!

I just posted a big effort post on my Patreon about my plans post-timeskip. It's Patron only for 3 days, so it'll go public next Sunday. Long story short, I'm giving everyone what they claim to want: a return to 3025-style heat with my own personal twist. Time to see if Double Heat Sinks really were a mistake!

Without spoiling anything, I'm intrigued to see how those changes work out in practice. Also curious to see specifics on some of the stuff to see if it is like it reads where various factions are getting "the base version but strictly better", which would oddly make the technically innovating factions worse off for having done so.

They were initially but ComStar went full "gently caress it" mode and by the time we're skipping to there is no "base" version anymore. 'Mechs will just be receiving an armor bonus as a default without it eating tons/slots/etc. That armor can be swapped out for other bonuses by skilled technicians and it's easier to do so on OmniMechs, but the Clans, as a general rule, are going to have difficulty not choosing the Cloud Cobra or Jade Falcon armor variant if they're carrying a heavy laser armament. Which is working as intended, if you go all-in on offense you don't also get to have a strong defense.

So the versions may have been developed elsewhere, but they all spread to all the houses, not each house either having the "original" version or the branch they discovered? Sounds good to me.

Hi PTN, just a couple of quick errors I spotted. Most of them didn't matter, but I figured you might cut & paste next turn, so I'm highlighting all of them:PoptartsNinja posted:Gurkha #2 (Player)

Defiance Industries posted:Additional punching arms. The G0-R0, from Defiance Industries I've done this before in Megamek with both stackpoling and AoE ammo explosions turned on, taking a lance of jumpy assaults packing LBXes or pulse vs like 20+ locusts/fleas. (spoiler, it's hilarious)

Fiiine I added it. I'm still not entirely comfortable taking money for doing something I'd be doing anyway, so don't feel compelled to do so.

Will the two mini-Gauss Rifle hits be applied to the Savage Coyote? The way things are going that'd probably be a good thing for the players.

It's kind of unfair, actually. I mean, I was having fun, doing okay, but y'know, crits happen (Who knew that a Gauss Rifle could explode so spectacularly). And I got to be dramatic, and over-the-top. But, y'know, if PTN wants to give me another go, I'm not going to say no. But y'know, I feel as though I've been rewarded for playing badly.

Huh, what do we know about Clan Coyote? Maybe if the campaign goes well the Society still conquers the Home World, but the Wolverines and Coyotes survive, and the Coyotes decide they'll evacuate/seek refuge in the NRWR with the Wolverines in their ships. Just a craaaazy idea... Edit: just kindling for the fire then RA Rx fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Mar 1, 2018 |

They are the hella traditional and clan-ly clan who initiated a lot of the clan defining characteristics.

I’m no longer escorting the Rampage, so I’d like input from Defiance and Sair about their moves next turn so I can be in a place to support. I can run to 1213 and prepare to be part of a push, or stay put if we intend to consolidate with south group. They look like they can take the last out the last two units down there pretty handily but it will be a long time before they get to us and the group has been doing aggressive lights all game. I still have most of my armor so I’m happy to join the Coyotes in presenting a target to keep their fire off you. Especially since I’ve lost a lot of my mobility to those leg crits, I’m now the closest thing to a Wolverine tank in the north. The latter gives me better shots on the jumper this turn but I won’t really be able to support against any action that happens around the north west corner next turn. Also open to other suggestions, but bear in mind my jumping now forces a piloting check and the penalties from the actuator hits make me almost as bad as a Society pilot now.
