Hi, I'm Troy McClure! You might remember SD from such films as "Guys, I'm not sanguine about this Mech choice", "The Millstone of the Clans", and "Uppity Sperglord ilKhan"! Make sure to clear the date for his upcoming documentary, "How I ran a Star of Clan Mechs into the ground!"

Hey, look! That's a Clan Knife. It has a range 50% longer than the Inner Sphere variant, deals double damage and generates half as much heat.

Once again, this is my fault and I apologize; I sent in orders earlier today, but forgot that mech movement is not the same as attempting a three-point turn in a car, so I had to send in revised orders, thus further delaying the already delayed turn.

Once again, I apologize for this.

Next Turn’s Movement Phase



The concussive burst of an SRM was cut short by the outrush of air from his shattered cockpit canopy, forcing Kei Katou to hold his breath for the few seconds it took to seal his coolant suit and switch to bottled air. The cold vacuum of space was decidedly uncomfortable, and instinctively he cut the flow of coolant through his vest—no sense freezing to death when his ‘Mech’s ambient thermal radiation would still keep him alive. Probably.

There was no sound, save for his own breathing and the diminishing trickle of coolant. He toggled his targeting over to a secondary monitor; feeling quietly crippled by the screen’s small size. Rearing back, he gave his tiny assailants a wicked kick—and was satisfied to see one’s armor shatter. He stared in silence as the massive form inside tumbled away, and shuddered.

These were not men.

C1 Guillotine IIC: Walks 1 to hex 1801!
C2 Phoenix Hawk?: walks 4 to hex 1901!

With a little clever counting, the players should be able to make it into positions where they all have shots on one enemy (with partial cover) while staying out of LOS of the other two.

Clanners: a youth-obsessed warrior culture bred from birth to be literally unable to have any other existence. You don't chose to be an Elemental, Mechwarrior, or Pilot, you are one. Why anyone would chose to be any sort of trooper in the Inner Sphere, on the other hand, I don't know. Maybe you hope for a life of being fed and that the Feudal Lords don't get angry at each other in your neighborhood?
