There's a lot of good options in this one, but I think I'm going to have to go with D.

Also, I'd like to take a shot at this myself sometime, so could you please put my name on the pilot list? I have PMs. I won't actually be able to commit to it for a few weeks but I'm pretty sure there's enough people left on the list that it won't be my turn until that doesn't matter anymore anyway.

Same. I'm especially torn between C and F but I'm going to go with C because seeing clan society fracturing up-close sounds like a good time.

B I would like to see some push back on Amaris' gambit. Especially since that specific group of clans are picked from some of the more crafty choices among them. Lets give them a chance to shine for a bit and live up to some of their shrewd reputations.

Absolutely. I want things to get switched up and crazy now that the clans are aware their ideas will not work. B all the way

A little interlude in the Demon Hawk's story would be nice; an interlude on the FURY ROAD is even better!

Tough vote. I really want to see all of these. F looks like a lot of fun and I think it will win. I'm torn on a support vote between the Goliath scorpions and promoting the concept of clan defection... D.

So many wonderful choices. Amaris toys in an Amaris frontline unit? Clan assaults turning the tide? Trashborn getting dunked on by the first clan turncoats? Widowmakers getting order-66'd by airdropped redacted? A Mystery Box in New Syrtis? WITNESS ME in ersatz tanks on a scrolling map?

PTN, you spoil us. D, but whatever wins promises to be entertaining.

Hey for all we know it'll lead to the Space Texans learning how to reverse-engineer and manufacture their own Atlases or tacnuke Arrow IVs or some poo poo, let's not make any assumptions.

Voting F as well. After all the prototype high-tech shenanigans and combat between organised and well-equipped forces, it'll be a nice change of pace to have a little scrap between a bunch of junk 'mechs with mediocre pilots in it only for a small payday. :allears:

C. Flipped a coin between that and D, since F seems best placed to win, and really any of these options sound very interesting.

I'm happy with any of C, D, or F winning, but I'll vote for C as my way of pushing for Company D (and by extension, the Demon Hawks) to succeed.

Wow, pretty much has to be F but C would be fun too. Or really, all of them.

... I think I need to get in on this finally, even if I haven't done the board game in like, 10 years. Unless I'm an idiot, I have PMs. Also mekilljoydammit@gmail.com

Votes so far by my very hasty and probably wrong count:

A 2
B 11
C 28
D 19
E 10
F 32

It's still really close so c'mon people, vote F! I'm sure PTN will let us revisit the battle for Andurien, we've just had three missions of beating up clanners, do we really need more clanners when it might mean missing out on autoscrolling Fury Road?
