 Who's got the best piloting skill, Hogarth? Hogarth must roll, drop to one knee, and Ghost Hunter PPC that sucker.

Perhaps Hogarth can powerslide his BattleMech under the Ghost and shoot it with the Ghosthunter PPC from behind?

Shouldn't the Battlemaster do it as part of his "Dynamic Entry!" given that's the model that specifically says "Pistol Like PPC"?

Hopefully I'll get better odds to hit soon, after I stop moving around... Think this is going to be my last turn of maneuver, as I don't fancy moving across that ice there. Figure I'll be close enough then, so I'm thinking of popping Berserk Mode turn after next. Someone tell me if this is a bad idea and I should try and get across the ice before doing so...

Sorry about the delay with the update. I got the last set of orders the night before the two days it's pretty much impossible for me to work on an update. As a consolation, have a story about a BattleMaster.

End Phase: Atlas Blue 1 - Cinematic Critical Chance! No cine-crits sustained! - Cinematic Critical Chance! No cine-crits sustained! “We’re not even denting it,” Schultz sighed quietly. “Thomas, it may very well be time.” The General said, “It’s too dangerous, old friend. There must be another way!” “Some chance is better than no chance—if this goes on much longer, we may have no chance.” Thomas’s hands curled around his joysticks as he fought the urge to curl them into fists. With a pained grimace, he conceded. “You’re right, Colonel. Everyone! Lock your weapons on the Behemoth, and prepare to fire your PPCs!” “Only our PPCs? I don’t—” Andrew began. “Just do it, soldier,” Hogarth grunted. “Don’t question, don’t argue, just do it. Fire on my mark—” “And for God’s sake,” Schultz interjected, “don’t think of anything dangerous—” “No worries, I’ll just think about—” “—Fire!” Hogarth yelled, and was immediately rewarded by the combined firepower of eight PPCs striking the Behemoth’s TA field. Green lightning crackled ominously for a few moments before the combined weight of their charged particles tore the spiritual energy field to ribbons. The ominous green glow emanating from the Behemoth diminished for a few moments, drawing a cheer from Andrew and Vasquez as they poured the rest of their firepower into the massive—and now unprotected—figure. “Andrew! What did you do?!” Schultz demanded. The glow intensified a moment later, and a bolt of green electricity leapt between the Behemoth and the tesla coil hidden in the “Summer Ice Palace.” The icy tor, filled to the brim with hidden pyrotechnics, detonated, scattering frozen chunks the size of hovercars as the edifice disintegrated. “I didn’t do anything!” Andrew protested. As if to put his words to lie, a massive dome-shaped `Mech stepped from the crumbling remains of the frozen castle, its armor glistening white and pure. The barrels of its massive autocannons rose as it cleared the ruins. Its barrel-shaped body seemed simple enough, perhaps even somewhat comical in its apparent—and deceptive—helplessness. “Ok,” Andrew mumbled, “Ok. I might’ve—look, you can’t blame me for this! I just thought: ‘I can’t remember an Urbanmech ever hurting anyone,’ ok? I didn’t know this would happen!” Hogarth sighed, “Goddamn it, Andrew!” Primary Objectives Defend the Red Corsair!

Hey, remember that advice that one poster a few pages back gave about shooting the crazy green lighting hex with your PPCs instead of the Behemoth? Because, you know, that's actually how Ghostbusters ended? Now might be a good time to think about that.

Welp, I get back from my July 4th vacation and I'm presented with a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Urbie. And now we've come full circle back to GhostBusters once again. Even though it got us to this, I don't regret Crossing the Streams one bit. Now, I pretty sure that Berserk Mode will be coming out this turn. The only question is where to move before I activate it so it'll have the greatest effect. Kinda leery of that ice separating me and both the Behemoth and the Urbie. Any advice?
