As an aside, and I don't want to turn this into a long-winded derail, but after checking in a recent BT thread on /tg/, I was set about looking for the latest Dark Age novel. (Apparently I need a Kindle app, which I'll admit leaves me cold since I have an irrational dislike of things associated with e-readers in any way.) In the process I couldn't help but peek at spoilers in reader reviews for A Bonfire of Worlds. Odds things I noticed led me to look for more spoilers, which I frankly shouldn't have done. Because now I'm awash with a terrible melancholy over the fate of a major Successor State, and probably the Inner Sphere as a whole. I realize this was published in Battlecorps a year before the thread started, and I can surmise that this may have played a part in the creation of this LP and its associated alternate-universe fanfictional elements, but I'd like to say that knowing more about the context of the Dark Ages--most plot elements from beyond the Jihad supplements (which I own) haven't been integrated into sarna, so I was mostly ignorant of them--has made me appreciate Poptart's work in Let's All Play Battletech all the more. This goes double for PTN's recent acceptance by Battlecorps. Here's hoping that the 3032 Clan Invasion goes out not with a whimper, but a bang. And here's hoping even more that when he's completed his good works here, the 32nd Century of the Human Sphere may find his hand behind fate's helm.

0621 is out of LOS to the stalker unless both the stalker and the gladiator want to shoot each other. Otherwise the stalker can force the Gladiators fire to hit a building hex and the Gladiator can do the same to the Stalker. 0621 puts you in place for a backstab unless the stalker backs the gently caress up.

ShadowDragon8685 posted:Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, so I drew you one. Having armor is not an excuse for wasting it, that's a completely idiotic way of looking at things. If Rolling Thunder was more concentrated and could actually manage to focus fire on the Stalker you might have a point. But they don't, so it's best to clean up the other mechs while leaving the Stalker to shoot at nothing. With 2 of the 3 remaining friendly units fairly damaged and the third one being a medium that has to get into the Stalker's killzone to be effective, it is actually very essential that the entire thing be coordinated, which will take another turn or two to ensure that everyone is in a position to do anyway. You're not wrong that eventually the play needs to be "Gladiator flanks STK, everything else shoots STK," but that play isn't set up yet and it has a much greater chance of failure if they try to force it now. Also, it's called a "pincer".

There is always the option of moving the Awesome to 0309* a good range from where it can focus fire with the Ostroc at the Whitworth and also take it away from the Stalker's LoS. There's the possible issue of indirect LRM fire from the Stalker (I'm not sure if the Whitworth can spot) hitting the rear but after checking the Awesome turns out to have more rear armor on all torso sections (LT: 9 front vs 10 rear, CT 6 front vs 19 rear, RT 0 front vs 4 rear). The Gladiator could take the turn jumpjetting back to the other side or try to get close and dirty with the Gaussbie if a risky move is desired (though it'd be essential to run if this pulled the Stalker's aggro (which would give more breathing room to the Awesome). Why fight the Stalker at all? It is too close to the Awesome for Goonlance to gang up on the Gaussbie first after the Whitworth, but the Whitworth can and should definitely die first. *or closer, I don't understand those checks though. Also, I'm pretty sure 0309 is close enough but I don't know about turning around. cwDeici fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Dec 14, 2011 |

She tuned it out, her vision tunneling until the only thing in the universe was that damned enemy Stalker. She took a breath, let it out slowly, watched missiles burst from their tubes in slow motion, the telltale glow of the Stalker’s big lasers as it prepared to unleash another hellish salvo. The baked-in sweat of dozens of generations of `Mechwarriors filled her nostrils as her Awesome vented the heat of her last salvo. She thumbed the firing stud for her primary circuit, and her Awesome rocked under a hit from one of the Stalker’s lasers as time resumed its normal, hectic pace. One of her PPCs struck the enemy `Mech square in the cockpit, shattering glass. The pilot, barely visible behind the armored transpex, vanished in an instant in a hellish inferno of charged particles. The Stalker fell. A single LRM, corkscrewing wildly as its guidance system failed, struck her Awesome’s hip joint. Normally, such an insignificant weapon would’ve caused no problems, but the right leg of Rebecca’s Awesome was not the original; and when it had been replaced a century ago after a battle with the Lyrans, the replacement hip joint had been attached in a hurry to heat-fatigued skeletal titanium. There was a soft pop, and a shriek of tortured metal, then the Awesome’s left leg popped off at the hip like a broken action figure.

I wouldn't count this done yet. The Stalker is dead - through amazing goddamn luck - but effectively so's the Awesome. Goonlance has been reduced to a severely mauled Ostroc and the now breached Gladiator; that Gauss Urbie could, with a little luck, take out both on it's own. You guys must absolutely kill that thing right now.

I took a risk, since the Bombarder seems to have found a half-dozen four leaf clovers and subsequently now has all the luck. All of it (and it paid off once again). This would be a 'disable PPC inhibitors' moment for the Gladiator, personally (since it probably won't kill the Urbie with medium lasers and SRMs), but I'm not sure if I want to allow that or not.

Gladiator, gently caress it and go to melee range (No Jump) against the urbie and bombardier. and ALPHA, then kick the urbie to death. Ostroc, turn one run up to 1304 and large laser/2 medium laser the Whitworth. Awesome you can still turn, turn 1 towards janos marik. You have both arms and can prop yourself up on the left and fire both ppcs at anything that moves into your sight.  Oh and Gladiator ask ptn if you have enough movement to move into 0724 this turn. DI 0923 is asking for a kick to your head from the urbie. AtomikKrab fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Dec 15, 2011 |

Dont go to 0923 you will get kicked in the head, also you want to kill the urbie not the bombardier who has 0 lrms left. You want to end up where you can point blank the urbie and then kick it. 0723 lets you pointblank on the urbie and maybe kill it. and you can kick either the urbie or bombardier if you end your movement facing the urbie. Also this puts you inside the min range on the gauss and protects your right torso from the bombardier.

Point, it is viable for next turn though. If the Gauss urbie and whitworth go down then the team wins as long as the ostroc stands, Ostroc can play I have 15 range large lasers and I am faster than your rear end with the bomardier.

It's like I usually say: play well and shift the odds in your favor, and you'll have a good record in the long run. In the short-term, though, anything can happen. Anything. This is one of those times. Now go finish the job.
