Sooo... no attacks if it takes the extra movement? What can they do in the physical phase?

PhoenixHawk Noretti orders are in.
I'm running over to shoot more grounded planes.
At the end of my move I'll be at least 3 hexes from the infantry nearby (they're ACE so this is before they move, yes?), so if my local infantry killers can kill the nearby greenies, that would be cool.

Are we aiming to blow up all the low level aeros first before we hit the heavily tanked ones?

Someone spray the retreating meat sacks with a cluster shot or missiles? They're like 10,000 each!
Use the money to buy drinks for the infantry guarding your mechs, but never tell them why you're being so generous.

Let them retreat. Despite PTN's insistence that they might remain a credible threat they can't swarm and need 13+ to leg attack a stationary target. Given they time might combine with squad 3 but that's a minimum of 4 turns out.

That heavy infantry in the south will probably take up positions in the heavy woods and try for area denial.

If they're TSM-equipped infantry, I believe they can melee attack infantry in the same hex. Also, I think that Battle Armor can also use fast movement, as they count as infantry units of some sort. Battle Armor equipped with vibro-claws can deal physical attacks, as well.

Someone should probably write emergency orders for the Gunsmith, Ostscout and Dragoon in case the players don't show up.

Not sure if anyone forgot, since confirmation isn't being rolled. You can designate a location as the target of a called shot with any direct-fire weapon or physical, if you're hitting a parked unit, giving a 44% chance to confirm, only rolling location normally if it fails.

Called shots is definitely a good idea though. That could help you guys murder a lot more planes faster!

Don't worry about their ability to melee attack you, they aren't TSM-equipped cyborgs. I'm about 99% sure.

Especially because right now I don't think the Clans even have TSM tech.

Generally, all of you should pick a specific part of the vehicle (left/right wing or rear) and blow that up if you're going to do called shots. That way you'll chew through that part and into SI much faster, killing the target.

I think the right wing is a good choice for all the aerospace assets - everyone should have shots on it and it has less armor than the front.

This weather is nuts if any unit stays out for a long period of time. The fluff pointed out the Snow Raven and Sea Foxes didn't see this coming... as it is if there's an average of 1 lightning strike per round for the mapsheet then for a standard sol there's going to be about 8 hits per hex. Any lights and infantry out of shelter will be at severe risk, and the Snow Ravens are going to have to work hard to drive/tow any surviving aircraft to what hangars/shelter they have.

Even if there's 2 lightning strikes per round though I expect there'll only be 1 hit on average per 15 turns or so w/ 35 units on the board.

Please don't encourage people to attack in a way that makes me roll extra dice.

Just attack from the side, you've got a 90% chance of hitting the wing if you attack from the side. The Aerospace tables are quite simple.
