Artificer posted:What exactly is annoying about protos? I was tracking (12+35+9+5+6+6+4+8 = 85 (97 if you count the Sin, but I don't)) total moving units (counting the players). They would've been fine in smaller numbers with a smaller player contingent, but they were a mistake in this mission in particular. Coupled with the Boggarts being extremely dangerous and difficult for even gunnery 2 pilots to hit, we would've been here for two years trying to kill all of them. VVV The Boggart is a 5/8/7 jumper with a medium pulse laser that you can successfully hit and still miss due to the ProtoMech rules. +4 move mod with -2 To-Hit means if you actually put someone good in one it's a nightmare to actually hunt down and kill.

Oh I thought the poster meant that the protos were good in some very frustrating way.

Rabbit Warren Update 10 “Champion’s going to be pissed,” Abhishek Gross’s shot missed the back of the tank. He wasn’t certain it was fleeing, the driver was cruising calmly rather than running his engine flat out. That didn’t smack of panic, that tank was up to something. He grimaced—hovertanks were always such slippery quarry. He’d always scored poorly against them in simulator missions, especially at long range. “If we keep losing BattleMechs like this, we’re going to go through parts faster than the Factory Behemoth can build us new cockpits.” “Who cares, as long as we don’t lose anything irreplaceable?” Syd Colbert—Nephilim-1—growled. They’d had to switch to voice when Angel-4 had been shot out of his ‘Mech. That always pissed Syd off. “Why Syd, I didn’t know you care.” Pete Fisher—Nephilim-2—couldn’t resist the urge to mock his lance commander. Pete felt the position rightly belonged to him. The rest of the Lance hadn’t agreed. “Y’hear that, everyone? Syd says we have to live.” “Not you, Mr. Fisher,” Syd replied calmly. “You can go die. Just give your ‘Mech to Angel-1 first.”     Shooting Phase Legion #1 (Player) - Fires rHeavy PPC at King Cobra (2 base + 0 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement - 1 cybernetics = 4): rolled 9, hit Left Arm (18/33 armor remaining)! - - Plasma arcs to Left Torso (27/32 armor remaining)! - Fires AP Gauss Rifle at King Cobra (2 base + 0 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement - 1 cybernetics = 4): rolled 7, hit Left Arm (15/33 armor remaining)! - Fires AP Gauss Rifle at King Cobra (2 base + 0 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement - 1 cybernetics = 4): rolled 12, hit Right Torso (29/32 armor remaining)! - Gains 24 heat, sinks 24!

11 of the 14 dead 'Mechs this game have gone out to headshots. I think I need to start investing in lottery tickets. Edit: Actually, I think my numbers are even more skewed since Angel-4 took two headshots.

Oh, OK, so the infantry up in 2802... are in a heavy building! It's been completely obscured by them the whole game. Annoying. PTN, I think my heat should drop by 1 this turn, since I only walked, right? 20 (rHPPC) + 1 + 1 (2xAP Gauss) + 1 (walking) = 23?

Welp, guess the headshots bite back this turn. And the one headshot you inflicted in return doesn't even cause a pilot hit due to Society Torso Mounted Cockpits. Oh well, at least this is more interesting now.
