Wilhelm Screams are the best. Also don't forget that Cluster shots have a -1 to the TH roll. Normally I wouldn't bother to point these things out, but the LB/10X is my favorite gun and this thread needs more of them.

In fairness, 3 shots had a TH of 8 and everything else was above. You aren't going to hit often at 10+. And of course a few lasers were 14, because why the hell not?

Typo alert: you have the Javelin firing at the Zeus and hitting my Awesome. I'm guessing by the range mods (and the fact that damage was assigned to me) that my Awesome was the actual target, though.

Defiance Industries posted:FACT: Your guns shoot harder if you yell while you shoot. ... Makes me think that there should be a "Screaming lungs out while firing -1" modifier. And almost all the orders should have "while yelling" attached. Unless there's a "stealth" attack where a mech is able to hide itself behind a bush and get a bunch of ambush hits off because it's pilot was whispering and silent the entire time.

Oh god, this update. Good to see that it's not just us who think Hogarth's full of poo poo. I have a feeling this movie is going to bomb but become an underground cult favorite. Also, since the chance to jam your RACs on 2-3 shot is the same, if you're considering firing it on 2, you should fire it at 3 because there's no reason not to. Same goes for 4-5 shots. And you CAN go for 6 shot but the chance of jams only gets higher then.

Ammo and jamming always happens simultaneously with the enemy's weapon jamming/out-of-ammo, in which case they stare at each other for a second and then go straight to manly fisticuffs.

There are a lot of trees in this mission. Want to make this even more cinematic by adding a random forest fire? Set them on fire. All of them.

Man, I had no idea that my Medium Lasers had that terrible a chance of hitting... But still, this is a movie and there's no real heat, so I guess FIRING EVERYTHING has no real negative consequences. Still, I guess I should get in a better position next turn so that I can actually get those Mediums on target... EDIT: \/\/\/\/\/ Laser ammo? I assume this is just to make the final shootout all dramatic when people start running out of ammo? GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Apr 29, 2013 |

PoptartsNinja posted:In the player's defense, I may have forgotten to tell him he can chose to fire 1, 2, 4, or 6 shots per turn with each Rotary Autocannon. As of Total Warfare rules edits, you can also choose to fire 3 or 5 shots. Which is nice because they don't jam as easily (IIRC it's 2 for 3, and 3 for 5).

Who wants to bet that halfway through the shoot, terrorists from Loki will gatecrash and everyone will get into an actual fight to save Gen Hogarth? That or the Death Commandos from the last scenario crash land into the set after a freakish mis-jump and catastrophic failure of docking collars.

Discussing orders at the moment in the Google Doc, hoping to get our orders in soon. Probably going to try concentrating fire once again, hopefully with better results this time. Looking to get my orders in by tomorrow night, as I'll be out of contact for much of Wednesday, what with me going to a Jeopardy audition that morning. Wish me luck and you might see me on the show sometime in the next year!
