I couldn't have done anything with peoples' orders before today anyway. Now to see who's committing suicide this turn. Edit: Only two people firing on already-dead targets this turn. Downside? Both of them were shooting at a target that died last turn. Ahahaha and one of them is doing so for the second turn in a row. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jan 13, 2013 |

My movement this turn either left me incredibly safe or dead, so I can take comfort in my binary fate. Out of curiosity, can those Grasshoppers try to DFA me from off of the hill?

VVV When we start hitting turn 10+, I start focusing fire. Sometimes, you can't help having 6+ `Mechs shoot at you. This is actually the most challenging mission to date.

It’s lasers flashed past half-heartedly as the enemy machine spun, the staccato burst of its heavy autocannon smashing into the Cyclops’s vulnerable rear armor. The Cyclops’s right side vanished in an actinic flash, but the bulk of the machine was preserved by some miraculous Clan techno-sorcery. Those Clan `Mechs were infuriatingly tough, Lukas mused silently. If the Swordbreaker had gone down the weight of fire on the right flank must’ve been truly intense. Lukas’s `Mech drew back its massive battle fist back to deliver a finishing punch to the lighter Hunchback as the sun-hot beams of Tjris’s Sohei punched clear through the `Mech’s armor. It vanished in an instant, consumed as its stockpile of autocannon ammunition blew it apart from within. Lukas glowered. “That was my kill.” “Neg,” Tjris replied in a voice dripping in condescension. “It was mine. And now the score is even.” Mission Objectives: Secure the Dropships (incomplete) Hold off the 1st Kestrel Grenadiers (incomplete) Optional Defeat the 1st Kestrel Grenadiers’ 2nd Battalion (18/40) Death Commandos: Defeat more Kestrel Grenadiers than the Hell’s Horses (9/37) Hell’s Horses: Defeat more Kestrel Grenadiers than the Death Commandos (9/37)  Key: H1 Rifleman IIC, H2 Cougar D, X1 Banshee IIC H3 Wolf Spider A, H4 Mad Dog Prime, H5 Stormcrow H X2 Exterminator IIC, X3 Archer, X4 Po X5 Blackjack, X7 Vindicator X8 Mongoose, X9 Cyclops IIC, X10 Marauder X11 Merlin, X12 Atlas, H6 Gargoyle Tjris Enemy Movement Mods: S1 Mackie +0 S2 Battlemaster +0 S3 Awesome +0 S4 Sunfire +0 S14 JagerMech +0 S16 JagerMech +1 F9 Grasshopper +0 F10 Grasshopper +0 F11 Grasshopper +0 F12 Grasshopper +0 G1 Phoenix Hawk +3 Jumped G2 Phoenix Hawk +2 Jumped G3 Phoenix Hawk +3 Jumped G4 Phoenix Hawk +3 Jumped G5 Grasshopper +2 Jumped G6 Grasshopper +2 Jumped G7 Grasshopper +2 Jumped G8 Grasshopper +2 Jumped G9 Shadow Hawk +3 Jumped G10 Shadow Hawk +3 Jumped G11 Shadow Hawk +3 Jumped G12 Shadow Hawk +3 Jumped Dropships: Too high to fire at, do not block movement.

Well, that turn was brutal. To recap: The Stormcrow was mission killed. Half of the Cyclops was blown off, removing its critseeking capabilities. The Mad Dog and Po are not long for this world. The Vindicator is mostly ineffectual beyond 9 hexes now. To look on the bright side of things though, 3 more Kestrel mechs destroyed plus another undergoing forced withdrawal. Also, how did the lasers on the Archer hit F6 Hunchback? The torso lasers are rear mounted.

Point I need clarified: Is the dropship in the top left corner on the ground and blocking LOS or in the air like the others? This is important. In two turns I'm engaging the command lance.

Well that was a crazy turn. First, the good: All the Hunchbacks are down, one of the Jagermechs got its Head blown off, and one of the Phoenix Hawks was badly damaged, forcing it to withdraw from the battlefield. The bad includes the Stormcrow getting taken out due to concentrated fire from Jagermechs and a Phoenix Hawk stripping armor and and causing the bloodnamed pilot to black out due to feedback, resulting in the mech dropping into the water and flooding the torsos, as well as the Po being all but mobility killed and with an engine hit, and the Cyclops losing its Right Torso and attached arm due to the dying shot of one of the Hunchbacks blowing up its ammo storage. Oh, and the rest of Grey Company has decided to join the fray, with the Shadow Hawks now on the field. Not to mention two of GoonCompany Death Commandos failed to get shots off because of lack of targeting. Also, GoonStar has now caught up with GoonCompany in terms of mechs killed. The right flank will continue to be key, since it appears that the full Grey Company, minus the Phoenix Hawk you managed to make withdraw, is heading to that area, and they may turn your flank. Most of GoonStar and some of GoonCompany are in a position to do something about that, but with the amount of firepower arrayed against you, I dunno if it's going to happen.

Is it generally better to completely lose a limb rather than risk a crit blowing up the entire mech? I'm not sure how crits work but it seems that taking a crit but not losing the part entirely always ends in tears.

Decoy Badger posted:Is it generally better to completely lose a limb rather than risk a crit blowing up the entire mech? I'm not sure how crits work but it seems that taking a crit but not losing the part entirely always ends in tears. It depends. It's always OK to take a crit in an arm that doesn't have ammo or a gauss rifle in it: worst thing that happens is you lose one or more things located in that arm. (Ammo and gauss rifles explode, which if you don't have CASE can cascade into your torso and destroy you.) Losing a side torso destroys any 'mech with an extra large engine, and torsos also tend to be places where ammo is stored. If you don't have CASE, an ammo explosion is very likely to destroy the whole 'mech. Losing a leg is completely crippling. First you suffer from a fall, and then you're immobile and can, at best, prop yourself up to fire with weapons not mounted in the arm you're doing the propping with. You're an easy target for anyone who feels like shooting at you and failing that, it's usually pretty easy for your enemy to get out of your line of sight/fire. A crit to the leg is most likely to hit things like actuators or jump jets, though - few mechs mount leg-mounted weapons or ammo. You still have to make a pilot roll, but if you stay upright these kinds of crits tend to lower your speed or force more difficult piloting checks under certain circumstances. That's variably OK or horrible, depending on the situation and your battlefield role. Taking a crit in the head is very bad. It's usually either fatal or sufficiently crippling that you can't keep fighting. Taking a crit in the center torso is also usually quite bad, since gyro hits and engine hits tend to cripple you pretty quickly, and ammo can be there too. A crit anywhere can take out heat sinks which can be trivial or crippling depending on your 'mech's design. Assuming there's a heat sink in that location, of course.

Clan XL engines also only have 2 side torso crits so losing a torso won't outright destroy them.

Goon lack of coordination is so bad that we pretty much deserve to lose. Well, I was thinking of rooting for team DRACONIS SUNS anyway. All I want now is for the goons to survive long enough so we can at least see the Mackie in action.

You will, of course, be cruising along at a cool +10 passive heat generation, so don't forget to thank the techs for your bullshit double heat sinks that only take up two slots! Relevant to the current game; it would appear that PTN has put the players into a fairly intimidating killbox, and ablative parts are running thin all around. On the bright side, there are now only two lances between you and your dropship. It's Grasshoppers and the command lance, sure, but if you move fast enough you might be able to murder your way through them before Grey company can get into a position to provide support. This might involve some of your slower elements dying heroically.

PoptartsNinja posted:X12 Atlas I don't think you rolled the left torso crit there. Also, because I'm tracking damage to each enemy mech in the google doc, do Grasshoppers really only have 11 side torso structure and 7 arm structure? Or was this meant to be one of the Phoenix Hawks and not a Grasshopper?

Seems like the Pixie pilots are a bunch of cowards. G4 can't explode but is running away because the side torso is open? Also, this battle can still be won outright if the Command lance stays inactive a few more rounds. There's 17 mechs (or 15 if correcting for damage) against 17 Kestrel mechs (+ one that's withdrawing and four that haven't activated yet). Right now it's 17 against 17 other mechs and the Goon mechs while more damaged are still heavier and more advanced. If Goons outplay the enemy and the Command Lance doesn't activate for a few more rounds there's a good chance you can still win this. I wouldn't bet on it and I'd say a withdrawal is wiser... but it's still a possibility if it is desired. Readingaccount fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Jan 13, 2013 |

Yes! The score is even, and now things are finally looking up! Even if that guy is now lacking an entire portion of his mech
