'Kay, so. The problem wasn't that the window well filled up.  It was never anchored to the house, the contractors that built the place put it in and decided ground pressure would be plenty to keep it up against the house.

I doubt there would be much more insulting to the Clans than a freebirth being born DURING a battle against them, so that's a plus.

PoptartsNinja posted:So, I'm making a couple of post-timeskip vehicles. Probably not many, but every nation's getting an MBT and a VTOL, and there'll be a few generics floating around. PoptartsNinja posted:Pretty much all the Clan tanks have gone straight into "population suppression" territory. I'd like to request your take on a Notos, please. Omniquadvee with wheels and a 2-crew seems incredibly useful from a garrison perspective. Less crew, ease of changing weapons, useful in cities on multiple levels, who cares if you need to swap it full of machineguns to quell unrest? But really, my not-quite-a-Joke suggestion is: Urbanmech IIC quadvee. Sure, it uses some extra space for transformation gear, but the +flat speed and small engine means it comes out ahead, I think, and that's before it gets to play with elevations by shrinking. Thread's been joking about suburbanmech for years now. Make it happen!

Two turns left to down three 'Mechs. And technically three squads of infantry, but once the 'Mechs are down, there's not much they can do other than run around, scream, and get shredded by Gauss machine guns.

Back Hack posted:Sweep the legs! If you haven't already, go watch Cobra Kai. Also, more well-wishes to you PTN. Hope things turn out better with the flooding problems. Edit: Unless we get some shooting down like the last few rounds, we might see the elusive "Players don't win" scenario. As a clan supporter, I am not sure how to feel about that, since this is the Society after all. Then again the reason I am a supporter is because of how hilariously silly things would turn out if they win, so a win for the Society or general clans is a win in my book anyway.

It's impossible to see on the map, but the infantry in the top right corner are inside a hardened building, they can handle multiple rounds of fire from one mech, so if we have to kill them to get this secondary objective then I don't think it's gonna happen.

PoptartsNinja posted:You do not The reason for the time limit is to prevent the Society from learning too much about the Legion, which is why the Infantry don't count. The Society isn't going to learn much from watching a bunch of mechs standing at range casually gunning down unarmored targets. At that point it's just a matter of clean up, and you don't go all out for clean up.

Nah, the Capellans have a light and subtle touch. Here's the ilKhanate Chalchiuhtotolin Support Tank's armament  Machineguns and dedicated anti-infantry weaponry are more common as a general rule, since Medium Lasers weigh 2.5 tons while four machine guns and a half-ton of ammo weigh the same as a small laser (and either do twice the damage at the same range or four times the damage at 3 hexes). The Chalchiuhtotolin is still a bit excessive. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 23:26 on May 21, 2018 |
