Only because I blacked out after charging you as well for another 36 points of damage that didn't, by sheer luck, incapacitate you.

Keru posted:I swear I could remember, clear as day, PTN stating he used special rules for backshots somewhere in the thread, but after looking through the damned thing the only thing like it is his diagram over how the firing arc's and what counts as a backshot for a mech, which nowhere states the whole 'torso-twisting counts' that I must've dreamt up somewhere along the line. You must have dreamt it: PoptartsNinja posted:No, the original arcs stand. Torso twisting just alters what direction your weapons fire in. Also, this: jng2058 posted:We should recall that before we ended up getting both the Hussars and the Luthien fights, PTN mentioned that the Horses were going to lose this one if the players didn't intervene. Therefore this one was always going to be rough, and we'd probably have to be both skillful and lucky to prevail. ... is also wrong: PoptartsNinja posted:... and for the record, the Hell's Horses were going to win off-camera (just like Defiance Industries stole several Hollander prototypes from Coventry Metalworks off-camera after the last vote). The only way they can lose is if the players gently caress things up.

I kind of remember him using TacOps arcs or something that made backshots more easy last mission. Not 100% on that though.

Everyone wants an update, but with last round's drama and having to get a replacement player; not to mention the very difficult position the players are in this turn, I think we can cut them some slack.

Yesterday was the first time we got to talk with thatbastardken. Though we did kind of rush our orders out... I think they've all been sent, but there might be some modifications too. PTN is probably annoyed at all the changes, haha. We also kinda were trying to figure out a bunch of things at once. How deadly would that building be, how does shielding work, how firing arcs work, how charges work....

Turn End Phase: - House Kurita Initiates Phase 2! Several Building Hexes reduced to rubble! Second only to the Dire Wolf in durability, Star Captain Nasrullah’s Kingfisher shook like jar of pennies in a rock tumbler. Even an Omnimech couldn’t weather such abuse for long, and his diagnostics board flashed from green to yellow in places as components shook loose. One of the lights even flashed red for a moment as the DI Computer registered a hit to internals, but then toggled back to yellow when it concluded no significant damage had been dealt. Nasrullah pivoted at the ankles, bringing his left arm in line with the Kurita Thug. His shot blasted armor from the ancient, slab-shaped `Mech, staggering it momentarily. With the utter calm of a warrior who had accepted his inevitable death, he pressed his right-arm autocannon against the torso of the enemy Spider and squeezed the trigger. The tiny `Mech ceased to exist, its right arm spiraling away as his autocannon tore it apart. The Spider toppled and fell, its dome-shaped head flopping about to smash itself like a melon against the black asphalt roads. A flash of amber light filled his cockpit as an enemy laser scored the transplex. Nasrullah didn’t flinch from the heat, even when his skin began to blister and crack. His `Mech pivoted slowly, blackened and broken yet still deadly, to watch the Kuritan `Mechwarriors back away. He barely noticed the buildings beside him collapse.

I'm surprised that Goonstar made such a concentrated effort to take out the Spider. For next turn, back off out of the sights of the Gauss Rifles, finish off the remaining lighter mechs, plan carefully and don't let them run you around in circles while the Kuritas set up another ambush.

Oh, dammit, I was hoping it was the Space Tokyo tower that was rigged. That's what a real DFA looks like.

Ouch. Spider never really had a chance. Goonlance looks to be in better shape than I thought they would be after that last round; the Kingfisher is still kicking and going pretty strong.

 Well I'm glad Keru didn't try to hide in the building.

I wonder how many Phases does House Kurita's "Plan" have?

On another note, I think you may have made a copypasta error on DWM's pilot status, PTN. He got hit with a PPC a few turns ago and now he's 'OK!'. Not that it really matters since if he gets hit in the head again, he's going to die. Edit: And the Kingfisher only shot its UACs 3 times?

That Spider must have been something special. At least it is truly and well dead.

I was so nervous about this turn that I skipped the report and went straight to the map to see if the Kingfisher survived. Great job by PTN on this LP, but where's my fluff text? Edit: Never mind, found it. TildeATH fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Jan 20, 2012 |

I'll just copypaste from the Panic Room. quote:Planned Orders: I don't know if PTN is letting us do the "If A is already dead then target B". I know you can't do that in MegaMek so... E: /\ Yeah he wouldn't have had LOS on S1.

That's probably about as good a turn as we could have reasonably expected. No lucky instant kills on either side, but the most maneuverable blocker 'mech is down. It's a shame you guys couldn't put more fire into the Phoneix Hawk, but still...it was a pretty good turn. Of course, now the Gauss Rifles are going to come into play... On a positive note, Yorinaga's running with IS ER-PPCs, so they only hit for 10 instead of 15, which is good news for Goon Star.

Would it help everyone if I mocked this up in megamek so everyone can double check their ability to kick poo poo and discern what appropriate amounts of overkill are? Is that a thing you would permit, PTN?

{John Madden Mode: ON} Now, now I've got to be honest here Al, I'm a little disappointed in that turn for the offense. In this kind of a situation, what you've really got to do is focus on one gap, make one key block and get moving through the middle. But, uh, they uh just really didn't execute that very well. That P5, he really took some heavy hits on that last play, and if that keeps up he might not be able to stay in the game much longer. He did get that S5 out this turn, but the big problems for the offense - B and C, the two all-star safeties on the Kurita defense - they're still there! You gotta account for defensive playmakers like them more effectively, they're always going to be able to make plays, maybe force turnovers, and generally change the tempo of the game. It makes you wonder what could have happened if the rest of the team hadn't been lollygagging around before. Anyway that's, uh, all that's a big deal because P5 is really the heart and soul of that team, you know. He uh, when he's running at the defense he can really wear them down with his strength and toughness. He always, always, just really hits the point of attack well, he just comes up and BOOM! Gets his head down and breaks through, or a nice stiff-arm sometimes. So if he goes down, the offense really has to change their gameplan. And that could be tough too, because so far the QB really has been having a terrible game, no one seems to want to make plays through the air. I did notice a couple things Al that maybe we should take another look at.  The first thing is that the defense is really falling in love with these little pick plays. Uh, they, they, they're really simple plays, you just gotta get somebody in the way and force the offense to either move them or go around. And that's what's happening here, now P5 can't pursue to the northwest, and that keeps him from using his physicality in close.  Now, now the other big thing is right here. Look at this gap in the line that the offense has to deal with now! That's a lot of open space, and it's pretty well covered with those new gauss rifle things. The rubble from the building is going to slow any advance in that direction too. The defense is really going to make it hard now, I think, and it's the point in the game where the offense really needs to get creative with their playcalling and start to just make some plays. If they don't come up with something soon, well, I, I, I just don't know if they can win this football game here. {John Madden Mode: OFF}

Might as well kill the spider: one less backstab risk. Mop up, Goonstar, the enemy ambush did less than might be feared. Focus fire where possible, make them sell their lives for their coordinator too cheaply.

He'll face a 4 gunner firing at 7's (I think, no book handy) but that's a lot better than being under the guns of all the gauss mechs and the Thug/Whammer. He can shoot S5 with his lasers if the Panther is stupid enough to stay around, or the Thug/Whammer if they poke their noses around the building. Regardless, 1117 is his best move.

He could back up to 1118 and get some slight move mods in his favor out of it, I think.
