A good poster posted:Charger: Moving to the hex adjacent to the Quickdraw is probably the simplest solution. That hex is outside the bubble for all Active Probes on the map. My current plan is unchanged, because even if the scouts are going the 'wrong' direction I'll end up in 1048 facing 1047 this turn, and that's basically where I'd be going if the pink route didn't exist and we were all gonna go gangmurder the orange route over there.

It's close, and since we got specifically told not to worry about how many turns this takes I'm inclined to advise caution.

Ah, see I would read PTN's "don't worry about it" to specifically being about skidding/falling from turning on pavement, due to the parts of your posts he was quoting. I'm probably wrong though.

I'm probably wrong though. Yes, it was a "please don't worry about skidding," run as much as you want. Luthien wasn't paved in banana peels. Also, in the interest of fairness: 7 of the scouts are light 'Mechs. 2 are mediums. 1 is a heavy. Let the gambling begin.

Been a bit sick, but Centurion pilot here. Thinking our lance could set up somewhere to ambush the hell out of the yellow fast mover in three turns on hex 0647. Seems like a blind corner to annihilate one patroller and it gets rid of a CAP'er too. Only wrinkle is that if the pink fast mover patrols clockwise or counter clockwise. he could end up coming down the 0650-0637 road and spotting us. But even still we ought to have enough firepower to deal with a 4v2. Let's pick away some of the easy targets to make life easier if we get into a real firefight.

We can still set up an ambush with two turns warning. If we avoid committing until we know which direction the other scout is taking we can avoid accidentally blundering into a two-enemy fight. Given what we know of most Clan units, that means that there's one Wolf Spider at most on the field. I'd put cash money on it being the one doing the back and forth patrol along the main thoroughfare bisecting the map. That's three other slower movers, of which multiples could be Lights. The top right patrol path's interval is slow enough that it's probably a 4/6 mover. Could (potentially) be a Mandrill, or a (more likely) Hunchback IIC. Even with that breakdown of weights, there's a lot of possible guns that should definitely be handled one at a time under ideal circumstances.

Bandersnatch Since we don't need to worry about skid rolls, I'm thinking moving to 1246 and facing 1147 is the best move. That gives me a chance to react to whichever route the patrols take (to either take cover or move up and supply fire). Also, since I'm not seeing it called out in the quickstart rules, how does heat accumulate during movement? 1 for walk, 2 for run, or some other formulation? Obviously not super critical THIS turn, but could have implications later

That Cent was badly over-sinked because I'd originally planned for it to be carrying something like 6 RL20s.

It'll make for a great BattleROM, Clanner light walks into the kill zone, Cent steps out, unloads the charged snubby PPC into its back, ideally getting a head-cap. Propaganda for Days!!

Centurion Right, well it's a good point there is a turn or two to wait until an ambush can be sprung and we don't know which way the scouts are patrolling. Given that and the bandersnatch taking the road at 1246 I think I will move to 0946 and face southwest (facing 0846). I'll be ready to pounce on the ambush spot of 0647 even if the yellow scout goes clockwise and gets there in two instead of three turns. ECM is 6 hex so bander will still be covered as well.

Roughneck dol sal-inja Looking at movement options and not extending myself too far, I'm thinking of heading to either 1046 facing towards 1045 or heading towards 0848 facing 0749. Looking at the blip for the scanning 'Mech at 0340, I'd be out of sensor range for either possible movement range, and I'm fairly sure I'd be out of LOS for it. I'm mainly looking at that to avoid leaving something that has a fast move (best guess is that it's a 7/11 move, based on the patrol route blips) behind us and raising the alarm, not to mention the LOS gets tricky if we're trying to sneak up. If it isn't alerted, I'll be in good position to pop out and unload on it. I'm nervous about trying to thread the needle with the 4/6 mechs in the Lance, and getting caught between multiple mechs could lead to a rapidly-escalating situation. Admittedly, my natural inclination is to work on eliminating the threats behind us so things aren't as divided, but I'm open to hearing other plans.

Spider I'm considering moving to either 2845 to prepare to start weaving my way through the buildings along that side of the map (and hopefully avoid getting spotted), or moving to 2042 to set up in a position to support Raverrn. I'd considered heading left to support the Roughnecks' advance, but I'm honestly just not sure where I should be heading here. If anyone has any better ideas, I'm all ears.

BANDERSNATCH Well, folks are being a little more aggressive than I thought, so I'll amend it some and move to 1147 facing 1047. That readies me for a slightly closer push no matter who we're jumping first. Also, is there a googledoc set up, or are we just coordinating in-thread? I'd hate to be loving up everyone's carefully laid plans

Eh, I wasn't sure they'd go for it since the esteemed George Ledoux already voiced it and that version's publicly available (and was long before I decided to submit it for possible publication). I was just hoping to submit another in the near future. Oh well, I can do something else with what I'd been planning. It would be a decent enough start to an actual novel, and I've always wanted to get off my rear end and write one of those.

Question for the thread. I've got a Warhansa Warhammer that I'm going to paint up. I've got no particular attachment to any particular faction from Battletech. Are there any Warhammers of note in the thread that I could use as inspiration? The only one I know of off the top of my head is Yorinaga's ride from Luthien Round 1.
