I agree with most of what people are putting down, but I have some thoughts as well. If we go after the Hunchback there is a small but nonzero chance that we can kill it. If the Victor puts an AC20 round into its center torso it needs 1 more point of damage to go down and might fall over of course. The risk is that we will be in range of the Wolverine and Vedette with an AC10 and AC 5 respectively. The Victor is our bulkiest mech, but assuming both of those hit it could lose all the armor in it's arm or side torso. That said I don't think there's anything else that could harm it from that position. The trees are blocking Mr Sniper, the commando doesn't have a long-enough range weapon, and the Sentinel is blocked off by buildings. The Firestarter is a trap, taking an AC20 in exchange for messing it up is not a fair trade. If you jumped on a roof you might be safe from the AC20, but there's also a chance it would just try to shoot you down instead, and I think the lower buildings are well within Mr Sniper's field of view. We should try to take out the Bulldog if we can. Getting a way around the AC20 on wheels is very important. The Wyvern has already offered to stomp on it a bit, and I think the Blackjack should be able to poke it with it's large lasers too... I'll confess I'm not the sharpest on defense. But we need to rack up some kills soon before we're overwhelmed.

Captain Foo posted:I'm thinking I just w4 to 0705 and face down the bulldog's rear and fire away If the VTR chooses to go for the Bulldog, it would need that spot, and it would get 7 To-Hit by backing up. It can't reach any other hex. Your HBK can just backup 1 to 0804 for the same numbers. You could also choose your final facing depending on where you think you'll need to head to next turn. Edit: Overall people are posting individual moves and options. Give a crack at posting what the Lance as a whole can do, even if that's splitting two by two. Staying together as a buddy team is alright,but going it alone in a city isn't a great long term plan. While each individual unit might have a really choice move, it might lead to isolation and concentrated return fire. At the Lance level, consider things like: The dice won't go your way, so you'll need overkill to secure this turn's objective. - Where is the enemy going to go before we get to move on the next turn? Where are you going to go next turn? We need to prevent being locally outnumbered and do the inverse to them. - We have about 3 feasible objectives. Severely damage the HBK's rear. Topple the WVR. Finally, finish off the Bulldog. We could try for more than one of these at once, or go all in together on one. We have a couple day before the Saturday deadline. So post how the Lance should operate and what the plan aims to achieve. Amechwarrior fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jan 18, 2024 |

I think the enemy hbk is a trap this turn in particular. It forces us into the open, creates isolation between our hbk and the rest of the lance, and is potentially exploitable later as most of us have jets and it doesn’t. Also, looking ahead, it’s very much facing the wrong way to regroup. It could potentially try to flank us down the alley we originally came in, though

Until when(if) we get the GRF's rangemaster out of play, the open field is basically death. We could fall back into the alley to work on the Bulldog (I would have preffered working on the FS9 due to its mobility but not while an AC/20 is watching over it), and then face back the HBK when it comes back around.

You do realize that if there are forests between you and the sniper right? Even if you get right behind the enemy Hunchback, the only enemies that can hit you are the Vedette and the Wolverine. Which isn't ideal I know, but what's worse? Popping out and taking a few licks in exchange for the Hunchback's life? Or ignoring it and letting it come back around and encircle us? I'll confess I'm a risk-taker, but I feel like it's worth it, at least with the Victor. AC 20 hits in the right spot nd the enemy Hunchback just explodes. The Bulldog is also relatively vulnerable. It took a hit to the stabilizer and then moved (just turning around) So it's firing at +2 this turn. Not enough to make its shots impossible to hit or anything, but it's nice to have. This is what I would personally do, which is definitely risky and probably not the safest route, but as said above, risk taker. The Victor jumps to 1305 and tries to kill the Hunchback execution style, AC20, and SRM to the back, maybe keeping a laser in reserve to keep the heat down. Kick it too. The Hunchback runs to 1308 and tries to shoot out the building beneath the Wolverine. The Blackjack runs to 1408 and does the same (it can reach 1509, but I would much rather keep the woods between us and the sniper) Wyvern runs on top of the bulldog and kicks it. It's only 9 damage so it won't kill, but the tank can't shoot it so it's safe. For bonus points laser a building, just for fun

I'm actually looking at the sheets now and it feels like if we go 2 (WVE and HBK) on the Bulldog to try and setup for the Hetzer next turn, and 2 (VTR and BJ) on the HBK to shoot its back could be our best chance yeah. If we could damage the WVR a lot more right now I'd be more onboard with gunning for it, but I don't think it's much of a threat yet. I don't know where the VTR and BJ could go next turn though. I would like them to go back to the alley to work on the FS9 or the Hetzer.

Space Kablooey posted:yeah but for now we're in the death zone tm Scintilla is using the old, unnerfed version of it too. The current version of Range Master grants a flat -2 to your range bracket of choice (long or medium) and a flat +2 penalty at short range. So under the modern rules, a unit with Range Master (Long) fires at S+2/M+2/L+2 in all range brackets. All bets are off once you combine any form of Range Master with the Sniper SPA, since Sniper's a flat -2 at long range and -1 at medium. A Range Master Long Sniper fires at S+2/M+1/L+0 Even then, Range Master (Medium) + Sniper is still superior since it's S+2/M-1/L+2 and the vast majority of combat happens in the medium range bracket.

I think the HBK is a trap. But I'll support it by walking to 1308 and firing 2LL for 6s. Should I toss in one ML at 8 with the cost of going to 6 heat? The two LL will maintain my current 3 heat and I feel the FS9 will come into play soon. However, if we're risking this we might as well make sure it works. Overall what I would have done is have the VTR backup to 0705, fire on the Bulldog for 7 and the rest of Lance more or less go where they already are and we all go in on the Bulldog. I'd put the HBK at 0505 for 6s and I'd end up in 0804. The amount of overkill would let me and the VTR dump out heat as the FS9 will be coming into play next turn. It's a safer play, but the current Bulldog team doesn't have as great of a chance as it seems. The 4P only landed 3 hits last turn, only 4 would have hit for this turn (7) if we used the same rolls. If the LL from the WVE also happens to whiff, the odds of concentrating 26 damage on a location for the kill aren't great. If the AC/20 on the HBK whiffs or hits an arm or leg, we might still get some internal torso damage from my two LL, but it won't be enough. Then, we're split up and the newly arriving OPFOR can come into play vs the VTR and BJ1. The current plan is definitely a higher risk/reward vs just dog piling the Bulldog. I'm willing to go with it unless Otter wants to change course. Just I'd suggest one change to the current moves. Foo - Could you amend your turn to end in 0705 facing SW? You could just add on more walking MP from 0804. This will prevent the FS9 from landing there, then the HBK could move up to 1202 and you'd be pretty badly flanked by both of them. By being in 0705 SW, you'd be able to straight shot walk out of flamer range (at least short and medium) unless the FS9 wants to be pinned between you and the WVE.

The loss in movement from being just a little overheated is relatively minor. But it could cascade into a problem. On the other hand having one more chance to detonate the HBKs ammo or directly destroy it could be really good.

It's not that critical. The FS9 would have to deal with being surrounded, but would be mobile enough to probably make out well enough. That and if it wants to go after me or the VTR, it wouldn't be an issue at all.

Cityscape_[9994]: Turn 4 The Bulldog lived up to its name. Despite its reputation for being under-armoured, the vehicle weathered repeated strikes from Louis’s Hunchback, its turret swinging into the reverse position even as the barely-visible laser beams rapidly filleted away what was left of its protection. A flicker of uncertainty crossed Stephanie’s mind as she drove her Wyvern down the street. She had chosen the machine due to its excellent reputation as a city fighter, but its control systems were unfamiliar to her, and her muscle memory kept defaulting to the simpler controls of her Trebuchet. Ironically, her moment of hesitation wound up saving her, with the Bulldog’s Large Laser boiling the air where she would have been had her Wyvern been running at full speed. Undeterred, the tank unleashed a hail of SRMs from its turret-mounted missile pods, saturating the street with lethal projectiles. Stephanie clenched her jaw and advanced into the wall of screaming warheads. Her pod rocked as many of the missiles hit home, but she ignored the damage reports flashing across her secondary viewscreens and pressed on. The Wyvern was foreign to her, but its armour was pristine, and she trusted it to hold until she could close the distance. Wait for it… Stephanie urged herself as the smoke from the missiles’ exhaust began to thin. Wait for it… Now! As she emerged from the cloud of vapour Stephanie swung her Wyvern’s right arm up towards the Bulldog. The tank spun its treads, trying to retreat around the corner again, but no matter how high its top speed was it couldn’t match the speed of light. Steel flashed to superheated mist as the Wyvern’s lasers burned through the Bulldog’s remaining rear armour and bit deep into its internals. Burning fuel spilled out as the heat gutted the vehicle’s innards, hollowing it out like a Christmas turkey. Half a heartbeat later a titanic detonation swept through the street as the stricken Bulldog’s ammunition abruptly cooked off. Flames vomited skywards as the tank blew itself apart, peppering the surrounding buildings with pieces of itself. A shadow flickered across Stephanie’s cockpit glass as the Bulldog’s turret crashed down onto the road in front of her, the only piece of wreckage that was still even vaguely recognisable. “Great job, Steph!” Louis said. “Y’know, for a moment I thought you weren’t going to go for it.” Stephanie huffed out a laugh. “I almost didn't. The Wyvern is kind of tough to get used to.
