The new format looked a bit crowded to me, especially with units not firing. It did look a little cleaner with regard to the numbers though. I guess it'll take some getting used to. TIMG isn't a bad idea, either.

The intention of this is to save me time by not having to go back and forth between 3-4 open windows every update (with the hopeful side benefit of improving readability for everyone else). Edit: My other option would be to cut out the to hit numbers like so:  which improves readability, but I don't like the loss of transparency.

It'd probably be better to leave the hit numbers and stuff in. It's not that we don't trust you, but there have been a few situations where we've been able to point out accidental miscalculations in the past. Gives you less of a headache in the long run.

Aha, so it begins! Also, drat, they're at least partially following honor duel rules. Oh well for that.

PoptartsNinja posted:Challenging Clanners isn't actually a thing. Most of the time they'll simply ignore you. Pretty much. Unless you've got a hell of a reputation, or they call you out (and you think you can take them), it's best to just do the IS standard of focus firing- generally with a full lance per target if you can manage it. Of course, I wouldn't put it past Gooncompany to attempt to vaporize a single target with overwhelming firepower. Though 13.5 mechs (sorry, Hastur) on one target is a bit much, even if it is a clanner.

I think Stevie hit. He's on Base 1, which must mean he got the -2 for his gunnery blindside trait, but Wilberforce is still active, so it should be 0?

He only gets the blindside benefit if he's attacking from a side arc. Edit: He actually needed a 14 to hit, so I'll be crediting him some LRM ammo.

Poptart, Mr. Ninja, sir- I do believe you may have missed my attempt to join your Potential Mechwarrior list. Unfortunately I find myself without the Private Messaging service, so instead I present my E-mail for your use now, so you are spared the indignity of combing the thread for it: <REDACTED>

^^^ My dice indeed. I use the same set for the players that I do for the OpForce so yeah. Maybe I should do a few test rolls to warm them up so the players will start getting the outrageous luck.apostateCourier posted:Poptart, Mr. Ninja, sir- I do believe you may have missed my attempt to join your Potential Mechwarrior list.

Sally Forth: Tactical Update 6 Combat Phase: After playing around with the formatting for several hours, I came to one conclusion. I was overcomplicating things.  “Copperhead on the ridgeline,” Lukas Boehm’s targeting computer painted a grim picture. “And another `Mech my computer’s tagging a Marauder.” “He will make for the highest ground and a clear field of fire,” Wilberforce announced after a few moments. “It will enable him to bombard our forces with impunity unless we can get close enough to force him off. That other `Mech is a Wolf Spider—” “Can’t be,” Chiyoe Takahasi replied dubiously. “I’ve studied every Clan `Mech in ComStar’s database, the profile is all wrong.” “It is an Omnimech,” Piet growled. “Stravag idio—” Lukas chuckled quietly as Wilberforce squelched the angry woman’s comm. channels again. “What Piet is trying to say,” Wilberforce continued, “is that Omnimechs are variable. They will not always have the same profile or performance characteristics. The only standard feature on a Wolf Spider is a flamer.” Mission Objective: Defeat Clan Forces (0/10) Or Bypass Clan Forces (0/14)  Key: X1 Banshee IIC, X2 Archer, X3 Po X4 Merlin, X5 Marauder, X6 Hunchback X7 Blackjack, X8 Dervish, X9 Vindicator X10 Mongoose, X11 Hussar, X12 Cyclops IIC X13 Exterminator IIC, X14 Atlas Enemy Movement Mods: Don’t matter this turn. E1 Sohei: +3 Jumped E2 Wolf Spider: +1 E3 Copperhead: +2 E4 Rifleman IIC: +2 Jumped E5 Swordbreaker: +2 F1 Swordbreaker: +1 F2 Unknown: +2 F3 Unknown: +3 Jumped F4 Seagull: +4 Jumped F5 Anklebiter: +1 Player `Mech Status  Enemy `Mech Status
