Damocles Lance is... A bit different in canon. They did a novelization of MW3, and I think it ended up they killed a Trinary? Still a lot for a lance but not an entire Galaxy.

I sorta remember reading pieces of the novelization but I can't remember what they put them up against, but it would make slightly more sense to have them just fighting a Trinary instead of a Galaxy.

Damocles Lance is a bit exceptional to start with since they basically have an entire mech factory following them and doing salvage and stuff. But yeah, you chew through a ton of clanners in that game. It's still one of my favorite games, probably because of the MFB voice stuff.

Physical Combat Phase: H4 Javelin kicks Building Hex 0414: automatic hi—wait, no. End Phase: Tank Crew Thirteen, AKA the “Dragonslayers,” had halted their plucky little tank’s ponderous advance. Between civilians braving the Tharkad winter on foot to get to safety and the burning hulks of dozens of upended cars, they simply couldn’t make progress quickly enough to join the rest of the Home Guard. Master Sergeant and Crew Commander John Moors, unenviably poking his head out the top hatch to yell at any civilian stupid or shell-shocked enough to try to take cover around, behind, or under his ride patted his beloved Von Luckner on the turret. Nicknamed the Nasty Surprise by her crew, they’d seen action against House Kurita and had won notice and eventual reassignment to the Home Guard when they’d singlehandedly annihilated a lance of Kurita Jenners and saved General Steiner’s headquarters staff from an unexpected flanking maneuver. The azure whips of PPC fire light the night as Tank Crew Seven in their vaunted Schreck launched another attack against an unseen foe. Moors smiled as he imagined the fury on Sergeant Alicia Toff’s face. Thirteen and Seven, Unlucky and Lucky, had a long-standing friendly rivalry and Toff was undoubtedly fuming somewhere inside her toasty little Bug Zapper at the idea that her crew had been outshot by the Nasty Surprise. Moors’ radio warbled for a moment, and in a practiced movement he slid back into his tank and dogged the hatch. “Firing solution from the Leutnant!” he called, “channel six! Keyes, if you would be so kind as to show these Clan invaders a good time?” “On it, boss!” his youngest crewman called from the tank’s aft quarter. Given the unenviable task of manning the Von Luckner’s ill-designed LRM Launcher, Keyes often complained about having nothing to do. Certainly, his contribution would be minimal, but Moors had no qualms giving his crew any real combat experience he could manage. The ten-shot LRM fired in quick succession, a bizarre trajectory that took them away from their intended target before arcing up and over. Like all Von Luckners, the Nasty Surprise had terrible heat issues, and was still toasty warm from the earlier firing of the main cannon and the unexpected detonation of the refinery. The LRMs did little to help the oppressive heat, nor did they make it noticeably worse. A cry of victory rose in Moors’s headset. “That did it, Nasty Surprise! Nice shot! That Clanner doesn’t seem to—” The sharp echo of a large detonation gave the Leutnant pause for a moment, “—like being buried under a thousand tons of Tharkad Steel! Congratulations, Crew Thirteen, that’s two for you today!” “You did all the hard work, ma’am,” Moors replied modestly, “glad we could help you clean up. If you don’t mind, though, there’re a lot of civvies out and about… mostly survivors from those apartment complexes I think.

I have no opinions on the player MVP. The players each died with incredible style. Incinerated in a suicidal jump from an exploding refinery? Check. Dying in a fireball in a last, desperate attempt to perform a kamikaze death-from-above attack on a train? Check. Crushed by a skyscraper that he managed to trick the Home Guard into blowing up for him? Check. Even the poor dude in the Commando managed to perform the most memorable party-crashing Tharkad is likely to see in generations. There's pretty much no way that this team could have been any more awesome. Home Guard MVP: The Home Guard didn't inspire me this round, but I'm going to have to nominate the tank that died in the refinery explosion. Why? Because some of the awesome may have rubbed off on it. Loki MVP: Whomever it was that managed to hack into Heimdall's comms. Barring that? The collapsing skyscraper, or maybe the statue of Duke Lestrade. David Corbett fucked around with this message at 04:06 on May 20, 2011 |

Axe-man posted:I started around the time clicky mechs first came out. What actual differences are there in combat and the like. I don't know anyone who ever has actually played them I've never played actual Battletech (and only very briefly dabbled with the clicky version), but they appear to be radically different. Basically, WizKids has a core ruleset for their various miniatures properties (which I believe started with MageKnight but I mostly encountered in HeroClix) where every figure has a wheel under the figure, with several distinct "clicks" displaying various values for a handful of stats. Each stat also can sport one (or I think sometimes two) of a handful of special abilities denoted by a particular color appearing around the number in that stat value at that click. Every point of damage that goes through will cause the wheel to rotate one click towards the figure being destroyed. You also could only give orders to so and so many figures per turn, and figures couldn't act two turns in a row without "pushing" (taking a point of damage) and then absolutely having to sit out the next turn. And moving and attacking could not be done in the same turn without a charge ability. Of course exact details and the stats and abilities varied from game to game. I'm not 100% sure their version of Battletech had the same move/attack restriction, for example. (Easily my least favorite part of HeroClix.) It seemed at the time like a decent way to get into miniatures without shelling out ridiculous amounts of money for the big mini games like 40K, but I found their system(s) to be pretty oversimplistic and confining.

More like a quarter the damage. Player MVP: the Javelin (TildeATH); It looked like we would fail the property destruction objective, but TildeATH was able to avoid a repeat of the Somerset scenario through his decisions. Heck he was able to put us well above the minimum amount needed. Kudos to you TildeATH. Player Honorable Mention: the Valkyrie(Dominus Caedis); the refinery explosion was awesome and contributed around 1/3 of the destruction requirement by itself. Home Guard MVP: the "Dragonslayers" (Von Luckner). It succeeded in killing two of the players and the way it tore apart our Assassin mech was comedy gold. Loki MVP: None. Screw them. If I had to choose though, it would be the P1 Locust. That one small laser it fired in tac update 10 caused the Commando (Terror Storm) to fail a PSR, fall over, and explode. v v v There was no way around the civilian casualties though. No matter which method was used to destroy the refinery, those residential buildings would have been blown up. Don't blame Heimdall or the players, blame those criminally incompetent civil engineers who thought it would be a grand idea to place apartment complexes next to a refining facility (or vice versa). landcollector fucked around with this message at 04:39 on May 20, 2011 |

MVP: TildeATH, who is used to being neck deep in tildes. Getting the enemies to blow up your objective for you is too hilarious to go unrewarded. It would go to the one who blew up the refinery for most cbills in a turn, but they killed (accidentally) a bunch of civilians. Homeguard MVP: the guy who stopped the train DFA.

Heimdall MVP: The Refinery. Anything leaving a crater in downtown Tharkad has my vote. There were many craters this time, but the refinery left the biggest and hottest. Home Guard MVP: That Von Luckner tank! The only way that thing could've been more  would be if it were shoving its barrel up a Clanner's rear end for real.Loki MVP: The statue of Duke Lestrade. It died an ignominious death, as is proper for Loki members. Now, I can't wait for the political vote and political update. How's our friend El Jefe doing with his quest for vengeance against the dog responsible for his wife's death?

Heimdall MVP: The Javelin (TildeATH) for managing to put Heimdall over the top on this mission. The Valkyrie loses out mostly because of the collateral damage rendered from the refinery blowing up (as awesome as it was). Home Guard MVP: Von Luckner Loki MVP: The popular thing here seems to be going with the Statue of Duke Lestrade so...yeah.

PoptartsNinja posted:Secret Objective: Destroy the Train! (Failed!)  Got sneaky with the secret objective there, PTN. And you guys were so close to getting it, too. If only the Assassin hadn't tried to DFA it. Wonder what this will bode for Heimdall. The Lyrans will undoubtedly be able to recover something from the train, otherwise there would have been no reason for it to be an objective to destroy it...As for MVPs: Heimdall MVP undoubtedly goes to the Valkyrie. Doing half of the property damage requirement alone by nuking the refinery? Yes. The residential damage was unfortunate, but can you really argue with an explosion that big? Honorable mention to the Javelin, as it got the Home Guard to bring a building (owned indirectly by Duke Lestrade, nonetheless) down on it, completing the property damage objective. Home Guard MVP is John Moors and the Dragonslayers of Tank Crew Thirteen, the Von Luckner Tank, Nasty Surprise. Responsible for taking out both the Assassin and the Javelin. Who else would deserve the title? Eagerly awaiting the next political vote, PTN. Keep it up.

Holy poo poo what an awesome finish. Player MVP definitely has to go to the Javelin for carrying us over the goal line with an honorable mention to the Valkyrie blowing up the refinery. Home guard MVP definitely the Von Luckner.

"Hmmm, these Clanner designs aren't so tough! They're just really sneaky. We don't have to worry about them on the frontlines. All we have to do is tighten internal security, starting with a few purges of less than loyal units." Let's all hope that's the conclusion Steiner's powerbase comes to, and maybe the next place we'll see the Clans invading will be Tharkad once more

Did the clans ever invade Tharkad? Did they get that far? ^.-

Oh wow, I can't wait for the political vote for this update result. Good job guys, you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, punched defeat in the nose, tore its mouth open, and snatched victory from its jaws like some kind of incredibly epic ouroboros. I'm going to hope the next scenario tops this, but I'm not sure how that can happen.

Votes go to Valkyrie and von Luckner. I demand you roll those 15 punch hits  BTW guys, THIS DUDE is who the von Luckner tank is named for.

The secret objective makes the train incident even more infuriating! Why did you have to perform that maneuver?? There was no benefit in that at all, compared to the 'boring' alternative. Why does anyone ever listen to goons during these things, seriously!

PoptartsNinja posted:It is. There is a reason I don't respect the Eridani Light Horse. Hahahah, yeah but now that completely ruins my mental image of the Battletech universe. Now I'm just thinking about how all those pilots died. With no pants on. I'd only read through the Technical Readouts and never got into any of the other material so this is all brand new to me. I'd always imagined the cooling suits to be more like the interior of a spacesuit, i.e.:  Mechwarriors: No pants, no dignity.

Anything involving the Jihad should be ignored. ComStar having regiments that they pulled together from the warehouses on Terra and SLDF stocks that they had the records for? Especially after a few centuries? Understandable. WoB having enough stuff to subjugate and destroy a lot of the Inner Sphere? Highly unlikely. Also it completely ignored that Outreach is probably one of the most heavily armed planets in the Sphere. At any given time there's at least a couple of Regiments of Wolf Dragoons there, not to mention all of the assorted partial mercenary commands hanging about before their next job.

As PTN described in his Let's Read, Rose has a full-body flight suit that does the cooling vest function for the whole body.

IIRC they've redone a lot of the old cooling vest/neurohelmet stuff to be a lot more practical.

I played the clix game for a good year or so. It was actually a lot of fun, but the most glaring flaw was that nobody could move and shoot in the same turn, prompting very defensive play. The exception was a 'nech charge, which let a 'mech move double base movement and deal several points of damae at the cost of one to itself. With weapon rages limited to 16 and under and speeds as high as 12, charging was absolutely dominant. The most feared 'mech in the game was a crazy dude in a Firemoth who just ran into everything at top speed. I'll miss you, Arnis Drummond.
