Since you already have a Warhammer, I'd say, get a Riflemen. As for Order Format Preference, I'd guess, the one without the nested loops?

Should save number 2. Goons could probably use it to shut down the Dropship AI the Capellans have if we have to fight then again.

It's not that bad. It's just one of those "why would you make this more complicated?" sorts of things. Right now Rifleman's pretty much in the lead and only one player has eaten a headshot this turn.

Ikuta Glacier: Tactical Update 8 Makena’s Stormcrow rattled and shook as a half-dozen shells glanced from her armor. The diagnostic diagram on her neurohelmet’s HUD flashed orange in places, but still didn’t show the angry red of a major armor breach. It’d just be a matter of time, if another barrage like that hit her. Her dark lips spread into an angry grimace at the sheer waste of the design. “I did not think the Widowmakers had ammunition to throw away like that. It is no wonder the whole Clan has turned bandit, quineg?” “They do not use many Light Autocannons,” Radivan cut in. Makena’s eyes narrowed maliciously—she and Radivan had come to hate one another long before they’d left their sibko. That Makena had earned an early promotion and Radivan had not had always been a point of contention between them—and something Makina had chosen to exploit in an effort to get the best performance possible out of her highly competitive sib. “They likely have more shells than they can reasonably expect use. Plus, it is the Widowmakers. It only makes sense that they have found a more efficient way to waste the stores they do have.”   Movement Phase Night Gyr (Player) - Insufficient MP to reach hex 0410: needs 6, has 4 (units dumping ammo may only walk)!

Only five combat capable 'mechs left for the Widowmakers, not counting the weaponless Summoner that gave up a while back, and one of those five has been immobilized by the Grand Dragon's super soakers. There might not be enough of this Widowmaker unit left for Natasha to disband.

Ablative's Night Gyr is going to have to do some fancy maneuvering to keep it's left torso intact, but I thing GoonNova has this thing pretty well sown up. The Crossbow can just sit still and unload ER missiles and MPLs in to the summoner's back on *3s*, and with two sections already open + an existing engine/gyro crit, it's done for. That Black Lanner is probably the most dangerous thing left on the field, given it still has armor, two good weapons, and a load of speed at it's disposal. Good thing the Grand Dragon can chase it down and SUPER SOAKER it's speedy butt to the ground!

The King Crab has always looked like a pile of poo poo and PGI's over-industrialized smiley face with eyebrows is no exception. It's got another problem that isn't obvious (since it towers over the IWM model), but the King Crab is also tiny. The clix game had a good Crab model

If you prefer, think of it this way: If [target is not dead] then Shoot [target] ELSE If [other target is not dead]] then Shoot [other target] ELSE If [third target is not dead] then Shoot [third target] The point is, refer to one and only one target per line of firing instructions. (Well, that and minimize the number of conditionals.)

It is a shame that the Star Colonel was not alive to see his unit collapse like wet tissue paper.

If I take it correctly, the players have already successfully performed their mighty touchdown dance, and now is the phase where they perform a touchdown dance to celebrate the success of the previous dance.

Hypothetically, can my Nova G leap over the gaps in the bridge while running?

As much as I would have loved to see the horror on Vickers' face as his entire unit gets systematically demolished, it was way, WAY funnier watching him fall off a bridge and freeze to death in icy waters without even having gotten a shot off on Goonstar. Especially after he told our commander in the Fluff prior to the mission that he should just throw himself in the ravine and save everyone the trouble. Delicious irony.

What should the Timberwolf do? It'll take 4-5 turns (if I'm lucky) to actually cross the ravine: should I stand at the edge and keep shooting long-range shots instead? I guess it might depend on how long the people moving right into that massive cluster of enemies last...
