If I understand this correctly, I should be coordinating with Zest's Clint at 2650 and closing to melee with Blind Sal at 1120. Also, I can ignore infantry/vehicles like those at 1945 since they won't shoot me, which Zest might want to be careful of? Any damage to you looks like it nulls out your special goal. Options - find some way to screen Zest from the rabble at 1945 with my mech? (Would that block LOS for them?) Can't tell if the hill will have LOS on anything relevant: don't the buildings block most of that off?

Depth 1 they just get immobilized until they can dig themselves out (unless the building is very tall, then they're taking a few dozen I-Beams to the head).

Not quite, no. I'll accept "I fire my PPC and medium laser at building X, and my second PPC and medium laser at building Y" but I don't accept "if target dies, fire the rest of my armament at [secondary target] orders." You split fire when you choose targets, not after you fire.

There's another reason I say the Clint and Centurion are best friends: the Centurion is purpose-built to clear out "obstructions" to give the Clint clear shots.

Clear you a path? Pick out the sightlanes you want cleared, I'll give it a shot. E.g., do you want the 600's cleared out? The 1300's?

Quick question: I seem to remember a Kenny Ryan from the first book of the Blood of Kerensky trilogy, whose pirates Phelan Kell was clearing out of some Periphery shithole pirate world (The Rock, maybe?) alongside some Kell Hounds when Clan Wolf dropped in and wrecked house, taking some of the survivors as bondsmen. Ryan wound up as a bondsman on the Dire Wolf flagship alongside Kell before they figured him to be eligible for Warrior status, and was never heard from again as far as I can remember. My question is: what is this Kenny Ryan's relationship to Redjack Ryan and his daughter? Based off of the timeframe, I'm guessing Kenny is Suzie Morgraine-Ryan's son/Redjack's grandson or something? Guess he wouldn't exist yet in the PTNverse yet since Suzie is all of 16 or so right now, and she wouldn't be having kids yet. If I'm wrong and he does exist in PTN's scenario, where's he at right now?

Sarna states that Kenny Ryan was Redjack's illegitimate son (presumably one of many such children). Suzie is Ryan's only child with his wife, fellow pirate Maria Morgraine.

It'd have to be jumpjet to guy, throw two punches, have them both land and hit opposite arms and do enough to break them off, then the next turn grab him, then do <one of the followups> and destroy the 'mech via CT. So yeah. I want to, but I don't think it's happening guys.

Pfft, I'm sure that won't come back to bite you guys at some point. In other news, helping PTN with the mech sprites has motivated me to go back and try my hand at designing some of the mechs that arose during the previous mech contest. You can find them all here, saved in .png format and with transparent backgrounds. Here's a few examples just to showcase what you can expect: Helepolis 'Artillery':  Hunchback 'Hatchet':  Spider 'Infantry Fighting Vehicle':  Trebuchet 'Anti-WarShip':  (God it was difficult putting Spot Welders, Salvage Arms and two Medium Lasers on each arm without the whole thing looking dumb) Vindicator 'War Crimes':  Edit: Sadly I was not skilled enough to do the Schreck Bistro or the Firetruck.

Question: what does the elevation change do to movement costs? Does it force piloting tests? What about trying to walk over destroyed buildings? Trying to work out how to get to (probably) 2042 and start clearing out hexes for the ER PPC. (though... would Zest would have LOS over those? If so, I should be looking elsewhere for buildings to clear.) Still want to check that the 1945 infantry won't ruin his ace sniper goal by taking potshots at Zest if he sets up on the hill, but can't tell if that's a) impossible b) likely or c) inevitable.

Going up or down a hill costs an extra MP. It only forces a piloting check if you're reversing. PTN said most buildings here will turn into rough ground when demolished, which also means one extra MP to enter.

Thanks! Looks like I should run to 2044, and get started with wrecking next turn. Unless the hill would permit LOS over the buildings? Are they all height 2? Initial post suggested they were all height 2, with hills adding another height 1 implied.

^^^ Buildings are all Height +2 Height 1 hills do not give you enough height to see over them, even up close. apostateCourier posted:So, PTN, any specific rules on the spear, or is it just a normal charge? You have to displace the target into a building hex or it doesn't qualify. Magni posted:PTN said most buildings here will turn into rough ground when demolished, which also means one extra MP to enter. But preferable to what buildings normally turn into when they get demolished (rubble is extra MP and a piloting check!) PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Oct 13, 2014 |

It's a perfectly valid form of movement, they just might suffer a little damage from bumping into a tougher-than-average piece of sheet metal or some bulletproof glass that's actually industrial armor Transplex or something. Edit: I don't suggest trying it if you've got piloting worse than 5 though! The T-Wrex probably shouldn't be playing Godzilla because if it falls on its rear end it's only got a 50% chance to stand up again.

That spiky bastard is going to be my bane, I just know it. They're a better pilot, those spikes make my physical attacks do less damage and do a little damage to me, and that chain whip can screw up pretty much anything I could do to it.
