Question for the thread if I run to 1633 with my Sunder will my extended torso twist quirk allow me to shoot the Kingfisher in the back or at all?

Yup, you can shoot it in the back from there.

Someone needs to get Defiance Industries on the phone and find out if that warranty is still good.

PoptartsNinja posted:Di Pasqua’s crosshairs fell over a boxy form his targeting computer tried to tell him was simultaneously an old SLDF Devastator and a Marauder. His Gauss Rifle struck clean, shattering armor over the Clan machine’s left breast, but his missile salvo flew wide. The soft rush of missile exhaust faded as the `Mech’s feed mechanism kicked in—but the telltale grinding of gears told him the mechanism had jammed again. He thumbed the transmit button and was just about to report when the second launcher attempted to reload and crushed its ammunition against the jammed mechanism that’d hopped its track. Oof, that's rough buddy.  On the bright side, at least you're still up and in the fight, so as bad as this was, at least it's not as bad as that Clanner who legged himself with his own MASC back in the airfield raid.

The -9S2 is an aftermarket modification, so unless your refit kit came from Defiance Industries, your warranty would be voided. Have you taken this up with your unit's quartermaster?

Well that was a thing that happened  Can I unjam the remaining LRM? I guess I still have my barrel arms if all else fails. Edit: Also, the Cobra fired at me, even though I didn't fire at it. Does zell kick in next turn? Volmarias fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Mar 2, 2017 |

 I think this one was all me. I thought I could shoot over the height five cliff, but in reality line of sight was blocked like this:- - - -M e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CB So new plan: move south as fast as possible.

Volmarias posted:Well that was a thing that happened Assuming PTN is using the same rules I had a look at, and since you rolled a ten: "10-11 Weapon severely damaged; cannot fire." If that's the case, you should dump all your LRM ammo. Also, the Cobra says Target: Zeus, so you might consider running ASAP, because he's probably going to try and run you down, and that mace looks menacing.

Heh, the only negative quirk on the player lineup, and it kicks into gear at the first time of asking. Twice. Quickscell got some 'splaining to do.

My orders are in, running to 1633 and blasting the Kingfisher in the rear with everything except the medium lasers to hopefully avoid overheating too badly. Though if it isn't too bad I did ask Poptarts to include the medium lasers. Banshee thanks for the assist last turn, shame I flubbed my shots. I'm thinking if we don't think it will cause dire consequences for us, you could possibly help out the Zeus with the King cobra. The Zeus has taken a lot more damage than me and could likely use your help the most. I'll see about swatting this Kingfisher down. Also northern lance please engage this turn. If those northern clanners get any closer they will likely wreck our chances of saving the mission objectives or will jump us if we take out some of the southern clanners.

Shoot, I didn't even see that. Should I just reverse to 2633 and pray? Should I keep attacking the King Fisher, or should I switch to King Club over here?

Real life must've snuck up on the Cestus player pretty bad, hope he either comes back or an alternate fills in fast enough to meet the deadline for the next turn so the northern lance can build some momentum. Because goddamn, that was some incredibly bad luck for the southern lance. Interesting that the Thunder Hawk has no penalty to splitting fire, but it's not as though splitting fire will help much at this stage of the fight.

Trying to 1v1 Clan `Mechs is not a good idea. You are playing the world's most dangerous game of keep-away dodge ball right now. The more people you have throwing at one target the better.

You're at +3 heat now, so if you fire everything but the medium lasers, youll be at 7 overheat and eat -1mp and +1 to hit on the next turn.

I'm pretty we just needed to know about the King Atlas right then, for context. Looming, heavy gauss rifle context.

I don't play with the abstracted Line of Sight rules. I probably should because they're easier for new players to get a handle on, but I've done it this way for so long it's hard to break the habit of diagramming things up.

Eh, as long as the geometry isn't overly complex, I prefer those... northern lance kinda missed the information though

So as I understand it, if I turn once and then run forward I can get to 3 hexes moved (because I'm at level -1). This will increase my difficulties by 2 and the enemy's difficulties by 1. Conversely, if I sit still I will increase my difficulties by 0 and the enemy's difficulties by 1 (because of partial cover). So short term it is beneficial to me to just sit here and turret as the enemy closes range? So far my plan would be to shoot 1 PPC, the AC/10 and my SRMs (that's 17 heat, which will bring me to 0 after sinks) at the king cobra if that's what we want to take down now?

Yea, that's the essence of btech. Cover while you have it is great, especially if you're a slow assault that can only get a +2 mod by running straight out with no turns or hills in the way.

I am at an impasse. I can't decide what color to paint my Warhansa Urbanmech. On the one hand, painting it a utilitarian pattern, olive drab, or even doing it up in urban camo would be a fun challenge. On the other, I'm sorely tempted to paint it solid metallic gold. Bright "don't shoot me" safety orange is also tempting.

PoptartsNinja posted:I am at an impasse. I can't decide what color to paint my Warhansa Urbanmech. Now if this were any other urbanmech I'd suggest painting it blue or green and trying to freehand or make-a-decal a recycling logo on it... But as this is a sculpt of the mwo urbie, I can only recommend either dark green torso and light green limbs and head. Or maybe glue or epoxy a little spike on top, paint the torso a deep rosewood pink and the head and limbs more of a rouge pink. Naturally, in either case paint the cockpit glass black except for a salmon pink dot. As an aside, I love how incredibly on the nose all of the warhansa names for their bt minis are.

Paint it in military colors but make the side torsos and rear torso blaze orange so it looks like it's wearing one of those construction worker safety vests. Maybe make the upper dome Construction Helmet Yellow.
