I wish the Hauptmann was in color, but it is still the superior option. And this is from someone who loathes the mech (although the HA1-OE is an absolute monster).

Sometimes when I want to be a real dick, I run a 3090-era Hauptmann config I designed. HPPC, Plasma Rifle, iHGR. That character's retired from the 2nd now, but he had a good run.

Isn't there some way the sunglasses could fall off the Hauptman's face and continue to fall to land on his foot, and throw in a "Deal with it" as a nod to the old masters. I recall this same method being used to great effect with some athletic star and his crotch...

Sergeant Damaris Golde couldn’t have told you his own name past the haze of nausea and pain that shrouded his senses. He couldn’t have brought his Hermes’ fusion engine up to power; nor even delivered the code-phrase to unlock his `Mech’s computer. Vague forms moving beyond the edges of his vision like hungry sharks waiting to swallow him home. He knew more than simply pain, however. Damaris Golde knew that his lancemates needed him. Wobbling wildly on its single leg, the Hermes’ gyro skipped again and again as her pilot’s head swam. Its weapons tracked wildly, seeking arms flailing to maintain balance. The sharp tone of a lock-on filled Damaris’ ears for a few eternal seconds before his thumb speared the firing stud on his right joystick and triggered the Hermes’ primary interlock circuit. The bark of his autocannon filled his ears, each shell beginning with the metallic clang of a hammer on casing as the autocannon fired; the rush of air as the propellant burned; and the whistling as the now-empty five-sided rotary shell spat out of the back of the `Mech and spun through the air like an inattentive jogger throwing an empty water bottle over his shoulder. The Coyote staggered as a slug caught it square in the back, then fell head first into the acidic waters of the lake as its gyro disintegrated.

All right, people. It's just him, so try to surround him and then hit him with everything you got. Also: it's currently 12-3 Hauptmann. I'm gonna leave voting open until 3 pacific time, cause that's when I leave. So if you care about our gang tag make your voice heard.

Nice how sometimes the biggest problems just seem to resolve themselves. Interesting that the game wasn't called, though. The Bobcat has Ace and could simply bounce off the map without reprisal if it wanted, so it looks like it intends to fight at least one more round instead of handing the players a win by retreating. Guess we'll see how much this thing can do with six-to-one odds against. Watch your backs, pilots!

The Hauptmann gonna make the others DEAL WITH IT. Edit: Wow, that was an incredibily lucky roll. I'm not even sure what the odds were on that, all put together. Hit the RCT with a triple crit that damages the gyro twice? That might have been the game-winning shot, right there. Still, it's basically 5v1, with one of goonlance legged. Can mechs hop around? And my goodness the Bobcat has 18 tons of armor on the left side! enigma74 fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Jun 18, 2012 |

Here, that round inspired me to make a slightly-updated version of the proposed gang-tag. I think it's a bit tighter and has better timing, I sorta threw the first one together.

I would agree with the Hauptmann. The lighting of the cigar is the perfect touch. Don't get me wrong, I like the justice foot too, but the Hauptmann is my preferred one. As for the last round : nice crit, good kill. I'm interested to see what the involvement of Mk and Mj is. Can't wait to see the focus of fire on that Bobcat next turn. Light him up, make him burn brighter than a star going nova.

It's even more impressive when you realize that in order to score 3 critical hits you have to roll boxcars on 2d6. So it has the same odds as a headshot.

In a normal game against a single opponent, I also would've finished you off on the spot rather than letting you stand (and the standing thing is pretty much a judgement call I've decided to make, since there's really no way a `Mech can stand on one leg for an extended period). Still, it's a good illustration why you should gun down crippled enemies in Battletech. Mercy is for the Clans. VVV It wasn't bad luck at all. I'm actively trying to win, but I'm not necessarily minimizing every possible risk. Leaving an enemy in a rear arc is always a risky decision even if it's a one-armed blackjack with no armaments but an AC/2. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Jun 18, 2012 |

I thought a mech standing on 1 leg only fell again if forced to make a PSR? Also the other reason to finish off crippled enemies is so they can't be used as init sinks.

DarthXaos posted:I thought a mech standing on 1 leg only fell again if forced to make a PSR? A `Mech with only one leg isn't usually allowed to stand at all, just prop itself up and shoot with one arm and/or torso weapons like a fixed gun emplacement.

PoptartsNinja posted:A `Mech with only one leg isn't usually allowed to stand at all, just prop itself up and shoot with one arm and/or torso weapons like a fixed gun emplacement. Huh, I didn't realize that. I've usually trusted MegaMek on game rules like that, and MM just imposes a +5 to the PSR. It ordinarily makes it nearly impossible to stand (regular pilots need a 10 at a minimum, likely more if there's damage to the other leg. It's impossible if there's a gyro hit, too). I guess I should read the actual rulebooks more often.

Are there any mechs with hip joints that would allow you to even try balancing your weight on one leg? All the ones I can remember have pretty limited range of motion.

It's a PSR at +5. It's phrased a bit weirdly on the table though, but reading page 50 of TW explains it.
