Malek Deneith posted:Simple solution to your problem sir! Sure, if I want to be lazy about it  ... actually, the real (hidden, background) problem is that I don't put the enemies down on the same sheet as the players until after all shooting has occurred; which means I'm constantly checking back and forth between last turn and the current one to verify positions. Edit: I need an update from our King Crab, since he has no line of sight to his intended target. Double edit: Well, that was probably the least spectacular ammunition explosion of all time.

Turn End Phase: R3 Black Knight - Attempts to regain consciousness (5+): rolled 4, fails! “Hey, boss,” Evelyn snickered over the comms, “Do you think these Clan jerks would respond to a challenge?” “You’ve spent too much time in Kurita space,” O’Donnely grumbled, pressing his palm to his neurohelmet’s faceplate as if to rub his eyes. “Don’t showboat, Acolyte. I want performance, not—” As he spoke, Evelyn’s Exterminator touched down on a distant hillside, firing off a salvo of LRMs at a not-far distant quad while simultaneously making a rather vulgar ‘jerking off’ motion with its right arm, utterly dismissing O’Donnely’s words. “I’m the only one with a kill so far, boss. Why don’t you waddle that fat-rear end crab up here and—” “Ev, you’re overextended,” Acolyte Lorraine announced with unhelpful cheerfulness. A moment later—as if to prove Lorraine’s point, the big Clanner on the hill opened fire. The Autocannon/2 was oft-maligned by ‘Mechwarriors of the Inner Sphere as being ‘too little weapon’ for the weight for any duty but anti-aircraft assignments. Normally, O’Donnely wouldn’t have considered Autocannon/2s in any quantity a significant threat. The Exterminator’s torso burst as a lucky shot found her Anti-missile ammunition. It wasn’t the devastating hit it could have been, but the Exterminator staggered and nearly tumbled from its perch atop a crumbing mesa. O’Donnely had been a victim of ammunition explosions before—anyone with over ten years in a cockpit probably had, and could sympathize with Evelyn’s cries: a mix of surprise and agony as the explosion temporarily disrupted computer processing and feedback loop causing Ev’s own attempts to balance her machine to be fed right back into her own nervous system. He was surprised she managed to keep her footing through it all—but even from here he could tell the Exterminator was in bad shape. “We need to focus on this Word-damned Hunchback!” Erica called as her Flashman weathered another salvo from the bulky clan Medium. “It’s got way too much firepower!

It doesn't matter (because he missed), but shouldn't R1's second and third shots have suffered accumulating penalties for multiple targets?

No, because that was a copy/paste error. He was firing at V1 (no LoS to the hunchback, and V2 is dead).

Ah, OK. And I assume R4 gained so much heat because of the Engine crit, which occurred during crit resolution later. What's the rule on that? I mean, engine hits add heat, but I can't remember how much, or if it also takes out heat sinks, or whatever.

Ahhh, it was activating the null signature system, that must have added some heat. Suddenly I get it. Excuse me for my sperging out.

landcollector posted:Speaking of engines, what are everyone's opinions on XXL Engines? If you're running a dual Guass or possibly a mid to light AC weapon spread, I can see it. But the huge amount of space it takes up and extra heat are unattractive for an energy weapon spread, especially since your Double Heat Sinks will be competing for space with the Engine. If you can keep your heat down with Guass Rifles in the arms as your main weapons, though, they can be useful. I think I put together a IS Warhammer III that way once.

Exterminator should fallback and present its left side to the bane (fall back into its medium range) and fire no weapons to sink its damaged heat. CLANNER ON A ROOF. lets blow that building. its hardened and 100 structure or so. (see if ptn will give you a number.) if the king crab hold position it can slug both gauss rifles into it for 30 and automatic hits (2+2 interference +2 medium range -4 immobile target) and then shoot that vtol with its large pulse laser. and streaks. (2+2 interference +5 vtol moving 10 hexes +1 secondary target, -2 with the pulse) so 8s and 10s. starslayer than moves to point blank with the vtol, and fires its erppc and all 4 medium lasers into the building, this will do another 30 and collapse it causing the clanner to auto fall for damage, THEN YOU STOMP ON THE PRONE CLANNER. Edit: king crab stands still. also ptn in this version the king crab pilot never took a hit. (no hits to the head in this round) Edit: also ptn you forgot to include the hunchback firing at minimum range. (penalty starts at 2) AtomikKrab fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Jul 17, 2011 |

Blowing up the building seems stupid if the ComGuard are there to take back the HPG facility without damaging it. Why not focus on the Hunchback since it's ripping you up right now?

Yeah, but the helecopter has been gimped by critical hits, the Hunchback and the Kraken have not.

Pretty unlucky there with the Bane finding the Exterminator's AMS ammo. And the Black Knight still isn't up yet. CrabGuard was really unlucky this turn... All I can say at this point is to take out that Gaussback. The Flashman is in a really good position to do so, especially if it's aided by the King Crab firing Gauss of its own. Wanna see another decapitation this game.

So, advice, please. Should I (the Lynx) join in on the planned Hunchback beatdown, or park myself behind F5 and shoot the poo poo out of it (within heat restictions)?

Jump next to the Hunchback, shoot it and kick it. You'd need 10s on F5's rear end, and it'd be more 'ineffectual flailing' than 'shooting the poo poo out of it'. If other people want to avoid overkill on the HunchIIC, it's on them, not you.

jump to 1811, and push the hunchback off the cliff (if you can reach and have hands) a 5 height fall will kill it 100%.

^ Endorsed. Pushing 'mechs that think they're being cute right the hell off cliffs is a hell of a lot of fun. Remember, don't fire any arm-mounted weapons, but if you have any torso/head/leg guns, you can let 'em have it.

The Lynx doesn't have hands to push with, pretty sure. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Lynx

Huh, taking out the Gaussback by pushing it off of the cliff sounds like the most hilarious way for the CrabGuard to take it down. Reminiscent of the 2nd Donegal taking out that Bloodnamed Steel Viper by pushing off of the map. I approve. However, which mechs can get close enough for a push and also has hands to do so? Also, if it works, maybe try the same thing on the Bane, taking out it's Bloodnamed Star Colonel in the process. Hey, it's worth a shot. Remember, CrabGuard gives no fucks.

If the Star Colonel has anything above zero awareness, he will see what happens to the Gaussback and take measures to not experience the same fate (like stay away from cliff edges).

Save the pushing surprise for the Bane: this guy seems intent on standing still and blasting the Exterminator into paste. As long as he's distracted doing that, he'll remain sitting there on that cliff. Shoot the Hunchback up instead (though throwing in some free punches and kicks is always nice), then move into position to mob the Bane. Exterminator, your mission is to keep distracting the Bane somehow. Thankfully because Clanners don't focus fire, you may survive more than one turn unless the Bane cripples your engine with some lucky rolls. If you can get into position to jump next to the Kraken and survive a turn of being sandblastered (cover or something, I dunno), I see a push in the immediate future. If we start knocking out whole mechs, we'll be able to win this. We can win attrition, and that Black Knight can't sleep on the job forever... Probably. EDIT: Oh, yeah. What happens if you jump into those boulder patches (Hex 0916 for instance). Do they give cover or anything (or require test vs horrible accident)? I can't remember how Elevation works in this game either. Can you get cover by hiding behind a hill or something? Chicken Slayer fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Jul 18, 2011 |

Vox Nihili posted:Do not do this. Concentrate fire on the hunchback. alternative Idea: DFA the clanner. do dfa damage, and knock it off the building. I am serious, flashman can finish off the hunchback, one of the two with jumpjets over there can jump into the pony mech, the other shoots it up and tries to make it fall. Starslayer, a successful dfa will do something like 30 damage in total. W.T. Fits, you can jump to 0513 (Drop the nullsig) and present your rear armor to the bane, next turn get behind it, and present your LEFT SIDE (be out of front facing and into left, don't fire any guns then, on physical, torso twist to face the bane into your front, and PUSH it off the ledge. 5 height fall.
