PTN, you still have the "Doesn't matter this turn" bit for enemy movement. I don't think that's been true for a while now.

Considering the overall campaign objectives, you guys oughta' keep in mind that keeping Wilberforce alive to return to Capellan space would be a major victory. With just what he's offered up so far, the guy is a goldmine of strategic intelligence.

With just what he's offered up so far, the guy is a goldmine of strategic intelligence. Assuming we win, there's a pretty good chance of that. He's in our clan assault with CASE, so I'm guessing only multiple headshots could possibly kill him. He could even survive a PPC to the face!

Scuttlebutt on the Google Docs thread shows that a few of us, myself included, live on the East Coast in the area that is expected to be or already affected by Hurricane Sandy. In the event that we disappear from the internet for a few days due to lack of power or internet, we'll be issuing orders for one another. Just wanted to leave a head's up.

I am mercifully (in this case) not on the east coast anymore, so I am more than happy to perform such shenanigans if need be.

Perfectly understandable, and if you guys have worked it out among yourselves that's fine. I won't kick anyone out for an Act of God, I promise (even if I do come across as a jerk in PMs sometimes).

For the record, I complained a lot about putting a good 1/1 pilot in the Hussar, but I guess we didn't really have the option of swapping him out (based on a comment by PTN). PTN: MRMs get a +1 to hit, right? Or is that gone now? It's making the Po better than it really is.

Also now the po is fighting stuff that can't suck up 3 mrm-10s and laugh like those clan assaults last mission.  Fraction jackson is confident, thus clanners will die.

I actually was wondering about that but I couldn't remember how you had MRM's working. That said, I am confident, and if AK is right that apparently means I turn 9s to hit into 8s for a turn. I guess.

Good luck to the rest of you in Sandy's path.  There's a higher chance than I'd like that it'll be making landfall almost on top of where I am, so I hope PTN isn't the one rolling for storm damage.

My orders are in. I predict F2 will be an unhappy camper very soon. Also, if by tonight we don't have orders in from people who got hit by the storm, we should decide who is responsible for compiling people's orders from the gdoc for those people and sending them in.

Pick someone to send in contingency orders and make sure I can easily see which orders are for which `Mech. If multiple people do, I'll just flip a coin/roll a dice as to which orders I actually use.

Let’s Read Warrior: En Garde (part 11) Book 2 Chapter 29 Pacifica (Chara III) Isle of Skye, Lyran Commonwealth 15 April 3027 Hey, it’s the Kell Hounds! Yet again they’re sitting on their asses in the A live simulation with real Battlemechs. If you don’t see where I’m going with this: Patrick Death From Aboves one of Dan’s lancemates. In a live simulation with real Battlemechs. As in not in simulators or anything. He also shoots Dan’s Valkyrie with a simulated Autocannon shot while it’s jumping, causing the computer to declare him dead and shut off his jump jets causing him to plummet 2-3 stories and take a goddamned pilot hit. Why? Because that’s just the kind of rear end in a top hat Patrick Kell is. No, seriously. En Garde posted:Dan smashed back against the rear wall of the cockpit so hard that it stunned him. Helpless as a turtle on its back, Dan lay sprawled and his `Mech faithfully imitated his nerveless body.  Anyway, do you remember the Kurita Panther subplot? Wherein House Kurita snuck a company of Panthers onto Pacifica in a move that even Cobra Commander would’ve considered idiotic? Well, guess what, the Kell Hounds know about it. And just like their GI Joe counterparts, they decide to do nothing and let House Kurita do whatever it is they’re planning on. Oh, and Dan exposits that he doesn’t think the Kuritas are there to invade. They just want to murder the Kell Hounds in their sleep. Since he’s the viewpoint character for the chapter, that means this bit of random speculation is, depressingly, entirely correct. Suck it, Wolf’s Dragoons, House Kurita hated us first! Anyway, their plotting to They set the clocks forward a day and allow the man to muster out one day early. Oh, and just so you are aware: THIS IS A MAJOR PLOT POINT. It’s then made painfully obvious because we cut to the Kurita Death Assassin Ninja Panther Force waiting in the swamp and they are planning to launch their attack on the day that the Kell Hounds are skipping forward to in order to PERFECTLY SYNCHRONIZE with Yorinaga Kurita’s as-yet undetected attack! ‘Cause, y’know. Why end a chapter with even as much suspense as your average cliffhanger in Dominic Deegan? Book 2 Chapter 30 Solaris VII (The Game World) Rhaneshire, Lyran Commonwealth 20 April 3027 Justin is watching holorecordings of all of Gray Noton’s past fights. You remember Gray, right? He’s the guy who shot Justin’s arm off. Well, it turns out he did precisely the same thing in a gladiator fight on Solaris once and now Justin knows that Gray was the one who shot his arm off. Justin then joins Gray in a hover limo and the two talk about Justin’s upcoming fight with Billy Wolfson’s Rifleman. The two strategize for a few minutes and because last chapter’s little CHAPTER OVER. Book 2 Chapter 31 Solaris VII (The Game World) Rhaneshire, Lyran Commonwealth 20 April 3027 Noton and Kym Sorensen are watching Justin fight together when Billy mirrors the same trick Gray Noton used to take Justin out the first time (i.e. reversing its arms to shoot him with guns). Noton then expresses, quite audibly, that he was the one who shot Justin out of his Valkyrie RIGHT IN FRONT OF MII5 (STEALTHY FOX) AGENT KYM SORENSEN. Whom Noton KNOWS is a Davion spy. Rather than being shot with the Rifleman’s reversed autocannons, Justin donkey punches Billy Wolfson piercing the Rifleman’s rear armor and causing its ammo to blow up. Fight over. Justin then goes full-on retard and pals around with Gray Noton as if he doesn’t know Gray was his would-be assassin. It’s a bizarre tonal shift and I’m really not sure what it is they were going for. Then the chapter ends. Book 2 Chapter 31 Solaris VII (The Game World) Rhaneshire, Lyran Commonwealth 20 April 3027 Kym Sorensen reports to her handlers that Gray Noton was the one who shot Justin out of his Valkyrie, using a Rifleman. She’s then told not to tell Justin but, SURPRISE, he catches her reporting because of Gray Noton, calls her a whore, and beats her up. `Cause y’know, it’s the far future of the Space Eighties and battery of women is just something antiheros do. Chapter over (it was only two pages long).

X6 Run to 0719 Fire both lasers and ac20 at F4. Switch to F3 if can't hit F4. If can't hit F3 fire all lasers that can hit at F2. Sorry - was out of town and asked for orders to be sent in.

I'm a little confused. Edit: yeah, it's definitely in the same email. Would it be easier if I start putting them in separate emails so you can just see it in the subject line?
