Target Destroyed! End Phase: “We’re under fire,” Satomi’s voice filled the radio-waves. After a bout of heavy coughing, she continued, “The big one has—” Her signal died with a sudden finality as the ‘boom’ of a heavy autocannon reverberated through the valley. A hit from the Thunderchild’s laser seared armor from Ivar the Boneless’s right breast. Agaki grimaced. There would be time for the honored dead later, this was a fight for the living. “Ha!” An exultant cry filled Agaki’s ears a half-second before an SRM burst against his cockpit glass. The Thunderchild sailed through the air towards his position, if the pilot had waited for firm footing, perhaps she’d have been able to fire more than just the six. “I have you, you clan motherfucker!” Chu-i Grist cried as his Hunchback’s own heavy autocannon laid low the more-manlike Clan heavy. “Hey, Colonel? Better tag this rear end in a top hat a Niddhog, because once we’ve kicked the Clans off Satalice I’m using this bastard as a loving planter!” Neither Agaki nor his Grand Dragon heard news of Luthor Grist’s success. Cockpit crushed in a tangled mess of steel and glass, the headless Grand Dragon crumpled against the rock face it’d been hiding behind, and nearly fell to block the base of the pass below.

Son of a bitch! Kick to the face wrecking Ivar the Boneless?  That was really unlucky there... And now the Thunderchild had a straight shot to go take out the Long Tom as well. Ouch.You guys also lost the River Monitor, but that was a forgone conclusion anyway, with the crew stunned and Joshua in a great position to take a potshot at it. Taking out the Nidhogg and knocking Clan Heavy A unconscious, wrecking it's left arm and engine in the process by shooting out it's LRM ammo might make up for some of it, but the loss of that Gauss Rifle really has to hurt...

For gods sake start double-checking your LOS. EDIT: Not to be all negative, you actually seemed to come out ahead that turn. Nidhogg down (off a tough shot) and B in serious trouble (off a miracle shot). Good luck and bad luck are both flowing freely! Mary Annette fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Oct 21, 2011 |

Or at least give me a secondary target, just in case (to be fair, the Manticore didn't have a shot at anything this last turn) To be equally fair to the Marauder, there's a chance that Joshua would've singled it out (but extremely unlikely since he has no line of sight unless both he and the Marauder had chosen to shoot at each other).

The Manticore appears to be at medium range with the LRM and PPC to the Thunderchild, and the Marauder is at long range with it's PPC. Why the gently caress did they shoot at something they couldn't see instead of the rape-machine closing in on their escort objective? [EDIT]Nevermind, brainfail.

For all that losing most of our biggest guns hurts, we're still in this one. Converge on the unconscious Heavy and finish it. Then head for the hills and try to get a head-shot on that Thunderchild. Two more kills and we win!

That was some round. The Grand Dragon and the River Monitor are gone, but Joshua's star lost the Nidhogg. My congrats to the Hunchback for that. Also, the head armor of the Thunderchild is very thin (a simple Medium Laser to the Head will kill the mech) and one of the Wolf Spiders lost some of its weapons in that ammo explosion: an LB 5-X AC and an LRM-15 rack I think.

C just jumped into a terrible spot. There's a good chance you can kill two mechs in this round. I'd go for it but it's your call. A rarely seen rule: you get -2 to hit if your target is prone and you fire from adjacent hex. Combined with immobility, this gives a -6 to hit if you manage to get next to B. This just got very exciting. Wipe 'em out! fake edit: I'm so tempted to give an exact idea what to do, but that would be ungentlemanly. Argh!

Wow, I just noticed how unlikely those shots that took out the Nidhogg and crippled Clan Heavy A were... Guess there was good luck and bad being handed out to our Goon Space Viking Samurai this turn... Also PTN, I think you forgot to update the crit damage that Clan Heavy A took this turn. 2 engine hits, a wrecked left arm and torso, plus whatever weapons were housed in those locations... That mech should be in for a beating next turn.

If Goonlance can kill B before it wakes up and get a second lucky headshot on the Thunderchild they can still win. That's...basically the only chance they have, though. And I'm not sure they have enough firepower to actually kill B before it wakes up next turn, even if everything they can possibly shoot at it hits, unless they get great hit locations. atelier morgan fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Oct 21, 2011 |

Option C, one mech making it to the bottom of the map on turn 25 is still open, but at this point Option B is probably the best choice. How unreasonable would it be for the Marauder to turn around and walk back to B and shoot it?

Mary Annette posted:B has a 9+ consciousness roll. Odds are it won't wake up next turn, but you know what they say about odds... Goonlance needs to plan around it waking up because if they assume it won't and it does they do not have a victory plan at all. They need the 'free' kill.

I forget, if the pilot is KO'd can you make called shots on his HD? If so, figure out who's got the right firepower, and put him down. Other than that, I say you press for the third kill. The Thunderchild is looking weak, and chasing him would also put you in position to hit the other mission goal. Also, with the 'don't lose a mech' condition off the table figure out who's disposable and who isn't. With one enemy down and another as good as dead, you can afford some kamikazi banzai berserker rage. Looking at you Hunchie. Clan Heavy A 2 is cursed as well. Also also, I doubt our Important Named NPC is going to be fiddling around with Aces at all anymore. Stay out of his way. Also also also check your lines of sight. Ask PTN 'if I do x and try to fire at y, will that work?'

You can, but it's still not easy to hit so it's usually better to try to blow a leg off or something. Or just blast away normally and take the easy shots.

Yeah, absolutely get to and kill that unconscious mech. If you can finish it off, you still have a fighting chance. Called shots to the head from point-blank aren't a bad idea (esp. with small lasers, machine guns, and the like), but you basically offset the unconscious bonus by doing so, and you only have a 50% chance to hit the targeted location if you do hit the mech. So probably just called shots to CT, plus some SRMs or LRMs to hope for a headshot. If you can manage that, try to single out and kill the Thunderchild. It'll be tough seeing as how it has jets and will be skirmishing, but a lucky headshot or two will get the job done. Alternatively, lucky AC/20 shots anywhere get the job done. Skirmishing with the Thunderchild and the not-marauder heavy should be feasible if you're cautious and stay away from the LB-X/20 that will murder the hell out of you. That assault will open holes with solid shot and PPC rounds, then exploit them with shotgun pellets, and generally make mincemeat out of people who get too close. ::EDIT:: PTN, would you mind sharing the Assault's loadout with us after the match? I'm curious how you arranged things. Arcturas fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Oct 22, 2011 |

Stay in the woods if possible, joshua is slow as molasses, you should be able to kill the knocked out heavy before he can reach you, also ignore the thunderchild there is a delicious looking mech right in front of the hunchback that wants to go head to head with an ac/20, oblige him. and try to get to his rear armor with the tank.

I guess that's a fair point. The Thunderchild is a long ways away and will be difficult to pin down. (though the other clan heavy probably also has jets, no?) What do we know about the armor on the relatively intact clan heavy? It's taken at least some head damage, hasn't it?

C took a PPC to the head, and two good shots to the rear side torsos. The only unit can can get to C's rear arc this turn, though, is the Manticore. Joshua may not be able to catch you, but from that hill, he can probably see you, even in the forest.

Judging by how the manticore couldn't shoot him I would say no. Clan C mounts 2 erppcs and a CLPL, close range is actually your best bet because it is deadly at long regardless, and do not underestimate the manticore, rear armor is rear armor and if the manticore penetrates the clanners rear armor it can cause a game over just as easily. Thunderbolt player, get up and run into those heavy woods across from you and punch the lrms at joshua to keep him from calling ace. Maruader go kill B, suicide if you need it be he is not getting up this firing phase, and you want to make sure he isn't getting up next. Heck, getting Clan C to fall will likely kill it since falls have a high chance of head hits. Note: if we get a chance i'd like to vote for our valient leader miraculously surviving his headcapping disaster. :cryingdragon: AtomikKrab fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Oct 22, 2011 |

Manticore + Hunchback to attack C sounds like a good idea: If I've got the distance right, the Hunchback should also be able to engage it in close combat. I think a fist to the face is in order here. I think we can win this though. The game is in the balance but our lucky dice rolling has given us the chance to waste 2 more of these Clan mechs and win the scenario. With any luck, the Thunderchild might not even have time to destroy the Long Tom if we get lucky this round.

Oh snap. Looks like the Justice Foot is on the other leg! And though they are the Clan aggressors, it's fair to call it a Just foot since this teaches Star Colonel Joshua posted:"Mechwarrior Capella is the best headhunter in Clan Widowmaker, Colonel. If she has found you, your end is assured." " "

Yeah, if Clan C took a PPC to the head it's at least as vulnerable as the Thunderchild, and way less effective at point blank. Minimum range penalties rock.

I love the really brutal rounds. Charred metal and smoking ruins is how battletech should be.

Good going clanners, you gave as good as you took. Wait, am I just congratulating PTN through all this? Well, he deserves it I guess, so it doesn't really matter. Go team Non-Freebirth!
