Like I said. We're already getting rolled, initiative would just speed things up. So. Things are about to go a lot faster.

It is weird how everybody is assuming that the players are about to get mauled. It could very easily be some fluke crits that obliterate the clanners. No need for the goodbyes...yet.

All joking aside, I did entertain that notion for a few seconds before my natural cynicism kicked in. Hope for the best, expect the worst.

Since the potential for a three-way goon-on-goon match seems to be that of a major reductor in the size of the list, I'd like to throw in my hat for a mech command. Don't have plat, but my e-mail is elite2012 at ymail dot com.

We need to hurry up with the Tech Dispersion in the setting, so that we can have more than just Ammunition explode on a regular basis. EDIT: Also, this is god drat torture. Just reveal that the Hyperpulse Generator was inhabited by Ghosts already and make sure it fries all the mechs on the field of battle with a multitude of Stackpole-imposed Criticals.

O’Donnelly’s King Crab weathered salvo after salvo of its counterpart’s light autocannons, the small-bore guns chipping armor plating or, more frequently, popping welds and sending whole armor plates clattering to the ground at the King Crab’s disproportionately small cloven feet. O’Donnelly smirked—there was no way small-caliber smoothbore autocannons could— He blinked, his radio-chatter had skipped a beat, his King Crab frozen midstep—he had to struggle to keep it from toppling. What the hell? His vision blurred for a moment before he realized the streaks on his cockpit glass weren’t simply computer-generated tracers from that damned Clan assault ‘Mech, but were the spiderweb fractures of shattered armored glass. He winced, looked down—trying to take stock of his situation. Winced again as he realized that damned Clanner had, from over a quarter of a kilometer, shot him in the gut. His wince quietly shifted to a grimace of silent determination. A hit like that—the wound would already be soaked in ‘Mech coolant. No wonder he’d blacked out; even if only for an instant: ‘Mech coolant was extremely toxic, and the quantity mixing with his blood right now would be lethal without immediate medical aid. Under any other circumstance, O’Donnelly would have been out of the fight. With a flick of a switch he killed his comm. transmissions. His soldiers knew what to do—they were already capitalizing on the damage he’d done to that damned fast-moving Clan quad, they didn’t need him telling them what to do. They’d fight better if they didn’t realize he’d been hit; and he wasn’t about to back down. Not now. Enemy Forces / Next Turn’s Movement: F1 King Crab IIC seizes the initiative!

Defiance Industries posted:I wouldn't say so, just because a 9-hex long range is insufficient for a modern battlefield. Yes, but the point is that you can get a superior short-range weapon set for minimum tonnage leaving everything else open for long-range stuff. As a result you have a mech with almost maximum long-range firepower and a lot of short-range power as well. 2 LRM 20s vs. 2 LRM 15s and 6 medium lasers? 3 ER PPCs vs. 2 ER PPCs and 7 medium lasers? Suddenly the trade-off Archer or Awesome does isn't as lucrative unless you're certain you can keep everything at long distance. And vice versa, Hunchback was a viable idea in 3025 but 12 medium lasers and 4 heat sinks beats AC 20 almost every time.

I don't believe the Lynx went down to a loving small laser to the CTor. The mechwarrior player inside me screams at the immense bullshittery of such a terrible weapon getting a kill. I know, small lasers aren't worthless in the tabletop like they are in Mechwarrior, but it's force of habit.

... Um, well. Nice knowing you, CrabGuard. At least one of the ponies is essentially out of the fight. Just the Evil Crab and the other pony left... Just be sure to finish the wounded targets off because the Clanners are going to keep murdering you all.

drat cheating ponymech. Falling over instead of allowing itself to get punched in the face. Truly these clanners show that their honour is false by failing to respect the rules of Steiner Duelling. Well, all up that could have been a hell of a lot worse. I mean, we have mechs still active after all and our two heavy hitters aren't taking dirt naps or anything. I can't remember how initiative affects things, but one person needs to curb stomp that Ponymech whilst the rest focus the Kraken. You know, before it headslaps our Demi Precentor back into the stone age. EDIT: Didn't that chopper suffer the critical damage to all forward firing weapons? Or is that Laser tail mounted or something? Chicken Slayer fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Aug 2, 2011 |

Man, you guys really know how to economize for the military in these difficult economic times. After this battle, everyone can get sent home in the same sponge! Edit: It looks like you have put quad 1 down for a little bit. Even with initiative, it's not going anywhere very far. On the other hand, the tasty little Quad 2 and the very annoying King Crab IIc are in a tight little knot, perfect for surrounding and love tapping. I'd say that everyone should gather round those two to block off escape routes and divide up 1:3 or 3:1 to take down targets. I'd recommend focusing on the KC IIC, since it's a bona fide critseeker and most of you have some very vulnerable recently-installed ventilation.

W.T. Fits posted:Aren't 12s supposed to be critical hits? No. Critical chances are determined by the hit chart (or actually penetrating armor), not the to-hit roll. A 12 is pretty much just a guaranteed hit. Edit: I'm still half waiting for someone to send me 'idkfa' as their orders. For the unaware, that did something special in the old 'Mechwarrior 2' game.  It killed you. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Aug 2, 2011 |

Those pilots are injured as gently caress, holy crap. I mean, considering they're inside giant robots you'd think the two states would be "fine, robot didn't explode" or "robot exploded, reduced to gibs". As is you're going to have a burn ward for a command even if you win.

I haven't got the faintest idea what to do now. How much move does just standing up take? Also did I seriously crit the ponymech a million times to accomplish a grand total of jack poo poo because it still has three legs? Well I guess the engine hits would be something if it wasn't about to die this turn anyway and thus probably intending to alpha regardless of heat.

UberJew posted:I haven't got the faintest idea what to do now. How much move does just standing up take? 2 MP to (try to) stand; you need to roll a 6. I'd probably back to 0816. Knocking a leg off a quad isn't useless - it does fall down and loses 1 MP and the quad benefits. It's also down to internals on another leg, the loss of which would make it nearly ineffective. Don't forget it lost a torso, so it has less to alpha with, presumably.

I know when bipedal mechs lose a leg, they automatically fall. But I thought quad mechs didn't?

The Merry Marauder posted:2 MP to (try to) stand; you need to roll a 6. I'd probably back to 0816. You can also careful stand, which is pretty much a sure thing: but it takes all your MP (regardless how much you have). As another thing to note: running with a damaged gyro will force a piloting test to avoid a fall. Gyro hits are nasty, but fortunately pretty uncommon. The Merry Marauder posted:Don't forget it lost a torso, so it has less to alpha with, presumably. Just heat sinks and an AMS. It still has its full armament (not counting the leg-mounted small lasers it lost).

^^ Any leg loss is an automatic fall; Quads can just get back up afterward (they just can't lateral shift anymore and lose the stability bonus to piloting checks). Edit: Also, quote is not edit. I'm going to bed.

Oh OK. Maybe I'm thinking of a crit to a hip actuator or something. I've been using Barghests in Legends and I remember being surprised at one of mine remaining standing after getting a leg hosed up.

Hmm. Alright. So the Clanners have the initiative right now. Assuming F2 successfully stands up, it'll probably try moving out of melee range. If it fails to successfully stand up, I can kick it to stomp its head in, though. However I'm thinking my best bet might be to assume it will, and start to move north so when it's finished off I can more quickly engage the others, and just pour more MLs into the ponymech and just hope I manage to either fry that right leg or get the engine. What do you guys think?

It is very likely to be able to stand, even without the quad bonus. My first thought was to move north to the base of the hill, but I have visions of F5 jumping above you and Clanner Footing your head off if you do; perhaps backing to 1419 would be best and keep your options mostly open?

Is that an actual worry? Clanners don't really do melee combat unless they have no choice. Still, I don't want to run because I don't want to incur any more to-hit penalties than I have to. I'm thinking of moving 2 hexes north and then blasting F2 wherever it goes. That should put me within striking range of the Kraken round after next as well, assuming F2 goes down on the next one.
