I'd say slap a cowl on that Screamer but there's no way to do that without completely loving the aerodynamics of that beautiful, terrible machine.

Alright, I'm going for 2733 and shaking my rear end at the clanners as I exit.

I haven't counted, but my wild guess is that you're making about one copyedit or little tracking mistake per ~100 dice rolls. You're seeing more this session due to the sheer volume of battlemechs, fire, and movement happening. E.g. I don't think your rate of errors have actually risen, it's just an artifact of how much you've expanded your scenarios and made them increasingly complex over the last year etc. A 1% error rate is totally acceptable.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the occasional error in a 1600-page let's play which PTN has run on his own for free for like half a decade is Fine

I'm pretty sure this mission has about as much poo poo going on in it as the entire first year of the thread combined, so I really wouldn't sweat a few errors here and there.

I wouldn't worry about it either. There are 50(!) units all running around shooting each other, a few mistakes are no problem at all. I just counted, and ignoring units that are destroyed or out of the battle, there are 43 Mechs and 7 infantry units on the field. Ardlen fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jun 21, 2016 |

It's probably my favorite mission so far for a variety of factors. There's so much action! With high stakes and crazy surprises! Bonus exploding piranha is just another crazy surprise, not a downer.

Orders sent, Lancelot evac'ing via 2733. Given that a side-torso hit is as bad a kill potential as a center-torso blowout, I have more armor on my backsides than my frontsides. I only lament that I can't really shoot anything on my way out.

In that case, the Ostscout should evac to 2732 this turn, so that we can fill all the escape hexes.

I don't think any of us are upset with you over the occasional bookkeeping error. They're infrequent and you always give us the benefit of the doubt if it goes in the players favor. It's basically our point of Edge, and an extra kill puts us one step closer to making it out of here alive.

Looking at 3239 facing 3140, for a final shot at the Crimson Hawk. Hopefully I can blow a gun off. I don't want that thing menacing us on the last turn, and 3239 is as safe a hex as #megamek can find for me. EDIT: Hey, I'm in range for a shot at the Hellstar. 5% chance of a last-turn headshot to live in song and story... Loxbourne fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Jun 21, 2016 |

We should get the AI box that wrote Sunspring to be our new GM. Just joking. We all make mistakes, getting hung on it is just going to make you more frustrated and cause you to make more mistakes. Just relax and take your time.

Salamander orders going in - reversing to 2734 and alpha striking that drat Grendel. Secondary target is the Crimson Hawk, tertiary is the Hellstar because gently caress you, Ath. Time to bail.

If the couple of mechs not leaving this turn put in orders for next turn (you're leaving then right?) we might not even have to wait for the weekend! Great job everyone

So, the Lancelot and Flashman would both be destroyed if they lose a side torso, while clan XLs only take two engine hits?

RA Rx posted:So, the Lancelot and Flashman would both be destroyed if they lose a side torso, while clan XLs only take two engine hits? Mechanically, it takes three engine crits to "kill" the engine and thus the mech. Regular engines are just in the CT, you only need to hit 50% of the crits (3) to tank the engine. All that does is alter the probability of getting an engine crit, though. XL engines have extra crits in the side torsos, three in each for IS XL engines and two in each for clan XL engines. This means losing a side torso is three crits for an IS XL, an engine kill, where the clan XL only takes two hits and can keep on running until it takes a third crit.

Particularly relevant for the Dragoon II as well, although that one IS Clan spec being an NRWR local build. I say this because I've also confirmed it with PTN and it influenced how much firepower I am sending downrange as part of my withdraw move. (Sadly, less lasers were fired, because losing my LT will result in +10 heat. Still risking a PSR, but only the lowest possible PSR and that again is only if I lose the torso entirely.)

All that does is alter the probability of getting an engine crit, though. I always liked this tradeoff. I wish more equipment upgrades were like that, instead of the straight "you are stupid to not use this" type like DHS.
