Ok, here are my options: 1) Roll with it. #9 and #12 switch positions, #12 remains out of the fight with its Sin battle armor active. I don't need to make any changes, #9's movement continues from #12's current position. This will let me update normally tomorrow. 2) Rollback the damage, find out what should've been applied to #9, and apply it to the right target. This will probably keep me from updating tomorrow because there's no way I can make the necessary changes today (I simply don't have time on Tuesdays).

#9 won't mind taking the damage, I've been spared a lot of fire as it is. Either way works for me, really.

It just looks like the physical needs to be applied to 9's right leg instead of mine. The shooting phase looks good. The Highlander took my torso and critical my lower leg actuator, but I stay standing.

so I need to send orders, but I dont have our docs linked on my kindle... a mech can share space/move through friendly infantry so I can move to either of 1312 or 1211, can someone verify either move to be sure I don't block someone else's orders? alternately if both spaces are already spoken-for I can take a shooting position a hex or three north of there.

Got it. I'm still down a torso, two engine crits, and a lower leg crit. With a jump of 3 I should probably just try to run in and get another kick if possible. EDIT: Oh wait, 1211 and 1312 are the only places I could really do that from and they are spoken for now. Okay, shooting from a bit back it is. Any SINs doing swarms please stop.

Rabbit Warren Update 14 Albin Boyd would have smashed his fist into Legion #12’s control panel if he could have. The DI Computer kept flashing critical damage and ejection prompts across his vision, having apparently decided the Legion’s right leg had been blown off. In between canceling each prompt he did what he could to force it to re-diagnose the Legion’s damage and after a few tense moments the alerts ended. He’d be hard pressed to say the Legion’s leg was “fine,” but it was functional enough to keep him in the fight. He fired a violet pulse from his surviving laser at the Clan’s Awesome analogue, and followed up with a shot from his light PPC, trying to keep the pilot on his toes—or at least distract them long enough for an ally to get close. He watched Legion #5 fall without a trace of emotion—fortunately, the Clans hadn’t gotten it into their heads to try stomping the solitary power armor suits now milling around at their feet. As long as the Legion’s pilots survived, they could make do with any machines they captured.

So we can probably put three Legions on each target at kick range if we arrange everything correctly. That plus shooting has a decent enough chance to mission kill both of them. Leg attacks from the Sins for good measure to make sure they fall down and take extra damage if they don't get legged might be a good idea. Hitting the objective right on the deadline is still possible.

@ptn, hellstar should be at 10 overheat now, I believe. @the team, I'm thinking some tsemp shots are in order, I'm at three heat so I could stand still and rHPPC +TSEMP at the king cobra and, assuming it doest take out one of my legs, be at 9 heat next turn for a hot kick of death option.

I think a leg attack on the Osteon hitting the left leg and rolling a really lucky 12 for the crit table is the only chance to put it away this turn. It's positioned so no one can get a hit on that left leg guaranteed.
