Would it be possible to bluff them into an awkward position by pretending to go along with the duel? Either way, I don't suppose lying to their faces would hurt.

They called him crazy. Skinwalker. More wolf than man. It hardly made him the center of attention at the canteen, but that suited Bobby just fine. Sensing more than seeing the enemy draw near, Navajo Wolf decided to activate his secret weapon. "Music. Select Playlist. War Mix. Play." A grin most observers would deem "lupine" creeped over his face.

hcenvirons posted:So how useful would something like the Scout Company be when it shows up? Depends on if they can trundle into that transport that's showing up next round. Looking at their stats, they do tremendous damage, but only if they manage to get to dangerously close range. And of course what's stopping that is just how slowly they move. Hell, that's probably why Poptarts is making them show up late to the party in the first place.

Honestly, I should have popped Eights to Aces last turn so I could make use of it now. I had this crazy idea where I would jump on him. Still, in honor of the ability I'm using next round, the Music of the Round is: The Ace of Spades. Polaron, Red_Mage, if either of you want to get this guy off my back, I would really appreciate it.

The Merry Marauder posted:Why engage? If you jump up to something like 1814, you'll leave the Cataphract way behind and out of position, he'll have to leave some forces behind other than the SRM Carrier, and you'll be able to influence events at the target much sooner. You might end up fighting the Warhammer, but that'll be much easier than brawling with the Ace. The Cat has yet to move, and the skill won't take effect this round. If I jumped there, I would get mauled.

The Merry Marauder posted:Only if he turns and comes into the woods after you, I think, which draws him out of the fight, and even then he's looking at big numbers. 9s at least, not counting PPC minimums. Next turn, if you continue up into the clearing, you'll be far out of his reach due to blocked LOS. If he comes into the woods and gets another round like he just did, he takes me out of the fight, too, which I'd rather avoid. No, I think I'd rather draw him into my allies, if he's that bold.

Well, assuming an average soldier weight of 150 pounds carrying 30-50 pounds of equipment, 1 ton of soldier would be between 10-11 men. That's more of a squadron size, so 3 tons for a platoon sounds more realistic.

Quick question: so K3, which is in the middle of the map, is carrying S3, which will be arriving in 3 turns? Also, am I the one giving orders to K3? Tempest, bunnyofdoom, it looks like D3 (the Cataphract ace) has decided to make himself your problem instead of ours. You should make good use of my Eights to Aces and scatter his 'mech to the four winds. Music of the Round: Fuel

PoptartsNinja posted:Typo, fixed. K3 is being piloted by one of Scout Platoon, yes, but it's not under your control. Red_Mage, it looks like your tech platoon and Polaron should press forward while me and you start setting those tanks on fire. I've got mobility, but you've got the range thanks to those LRM's, so how about I handle V2 and you take V3? Polaron, I seem to recall that splitting your targets in a round adds a penalty to all your shots, and your gunnery skill isn't very terrific. Unless it's directly life-threatening, I don't think you should be splitting your targets. And as I've pointed out before, I think the Cataphract is the most dangerous enemy on the board, so if Sure Shot, gently caress You, and Stubby were to focus on him while we all know where he'll be, we might just get a lucky shot in.

Red_Mage posted:If I could close range on that cataphract it would be nice. He's in medium range for you; just a few steps to the left would put you in short range for the LRM's. But as much as I've been pumping up the Cat, it's not the only dangerous thing on the map, and if three of the others are going to dogpile it, we should consider our options. Oh, and if you're going to close range, please move to 1320 instead of 1220; I'm going to run for the divot to get some cover.

Whelp, I'm basically out of armor. If none of you folks mind, I think Skinwalker and I will be staying back and finishing off V3 there. Meanwhile, I think S2 will be taking on V1, so that I4 infantry is all yours, Tempest. That or you could start picking off I1. bunnyofdoom, if you move S1 this turn, I think you've got just enough range to use the booby trap ability on I4. And remember, even in dire circumstances, never forget the feel of victory! Music of the Round: 40:1

Someone else can finish off the Goblin, I'm going to take up a forward position. And if I may say so, I apparently have the most awesome infantry on the board.

Magni posted:Or rush him with Skinwalker or Sir gently caress You and commence Operation Curbstomp. Good maneuvering means you can enter its hex and be safe from 60 SRM to the face. 12 armor all-around and no turret, so kicking is going to hurt this little bugger pretty darn fast. The real trouble is what happens at middle to long range. The SRM carrier is undoubtedly going to fire at any target it can aim for, and with so many SRM's it basically can't miss. It's dead if we get a 'mech on top of it, but the real trouble is making sure the 'mech isn't dead first. I think me and Bunny will have to rush it from different directions simultaneously if we're going to have a chance.

Well, I was considering holding back a bit to wait for everyone else to catch up, but if FY is going for it, I sure as hell will, too. I'll be very careful to stay out of the launcher's way, so you can probably guess where exactly I'm moving.
