I will never stop wondering what came of that strange disease my Mechwarrior picked up on that planet. I could almost imagine seeing Clan Diamond Shark in the future and discovering they've all started hallucinating that they're Tetatae, running around Squawking and worshiping Locust.

You've got the nuke on there twice. Since I figured you could probably use one for an immediate nuclear threat (i.e. just before or after the bombs hit), I modified one to be plain ol' background radiation.

Intervening hexes count both horizontally and vertically. Due to the elevation change, the technically empty height 3 hex is intervening. Try it in MegaMek, I will be amazed if it lets you take the shot.

A megamek-based campaign I'm in has 'pillars' maps with a forest of random single hex spikes up to 8 z-levels above the surrounding area. Megamek permits units adjacent to the base of these hexes to shoot units at the summit and vice versa.

He equipped a microphone in the modular weapons mount.

Elementals actually have a modular weapons mount that lets them swap to any gun that fits that limb. Which gets really scary when the AP Gauss Rifle comes into play. APGR Elementals are ridiculously scary.

Why? An APGR does 3 damage at 3/6/9 range, and 2d6 anti-infantry damage. It gives them enough range to threaten a ton of things, enough anti-infantry firepower to murder anything that isn't a platoon of Manei Domini, and enough regular firepower to make mechs take serious notice.

Max damage... I'm guessing the Firebee is jumping to 1116 to attempt to justice foot and alpha the Quasit while the Watchman takes up position at 1317 to alpha and kick from behind while it's at a +1 movement modifier?

If I remember right, it occurred during the Operation: Himinbjörg scenario. People who were new to Battletech were all :wtc: at the byzantine intricacies of the Lyran Commonwealth's various intelligence and counter-intelligence and counter-counter-intelligence agencies. This in turn led to a tangent about the other various factions' own intelligence and counter-intelligence divisions and somehow we ended up with ~*LYRAN MECH REPORTER*~ Bethany Cochrane trying for a Trial of Possession exclusive interview with Duke Aldo Lestrade for all of the secrets* according to Steiner Rules Dueling Tradition.

*All of them. All of the secrets.

Technical Difficulties

For some reason, my copy of GIMP has decided that the Yantai Reservation map is un-editable. It'll let me move the `Mechs around but I can't draw any movement lines. I'm going to try to figure this out, but I may need to make an alternate method of showing how the players moved this turn.

Please bear with me.


Nevermind, issue resolved. It decided to work again.
