Roughneck DSI Moved to 1048, turn to face 1148. Hold fire until other friendlies have shot. If enemy mech in LOS is still active, fire all weapons. Here's praying this poo poo works out!

I submitted some orders mostly involving shooting the parash cause I'm too far to get a good shot on the kitfox. Good luck dudes! Will see if poptarts includes my orders to give the parash the middle finger with the Cent's left hand while shooting it with PPCs.

What hex did you move to? It's going to be an extreme pileup trying to fit every mech in that wants to shoot the Parash I think.

Jade Star posted:Will see if poptarts includes my orders to give the parash the middle finger with the Cent's left hand while shooting it with PPCs. I don't always because I've been burned out on it. Some players have sent me extra fluff actions every turn in the past, and it's not always something that fits the situation or that would make the fluff more interesting. I'll incorporate them if I feel the player's take is too good to pass up, but most of the time they get passed over because I can't slip 8+ hot takes in each turn. Edit: I don't entirely understand what the Mongoose is doing this turn, so I'm going to do exactly as written and hope it's what the player intended.

Snake Pit 6 “Strange.” They’d dropped the enemy Anklebiter just in time, although it wasn’t in an ideal place. Narinder Rapallino’s radio warbled as he continued to monitor both suspected enemy comm. frequencies at once. The young Mechwarrior had a good ear, he’d always been able to identify individual voices even when multiple people were talking at once. The Clans were making it easy, with the Falcon down only one set seemed to be talking. It’s possible the other Lance was on a different frequency, and they’d succeeded only in disrupting a private conversation, but it did make following the other lance’s communications a little easier. “Cadet, you are slowing. Pick up the pace.” “Neg,” the first speaker was taciturn. He was young, yet sounded like he’d been through hell. “I have just spotted Mahesh’s Kit Fox, he is well off his patrol path and is not moving. His Kit Fox looks badly damaged. Permission to investigate?” “Denied, Cadet,” The second speaker sounded irritated. “Hold position, I will check it out. I swear, if you have damaged another BattleMech I will see you all ground up into Surat kibble.” “I will maintain visual contact with Cadet Mahesh’s Kit Fox. We may have been infiltrated by hos—” “Nonsense, Freebirth,” the second speaker interrupted. “Cadet Mahesh has undoubtedly gotten turned around and walked into a building in his carelessness. Let him make his own excuses.” “As you command,” the cadet sounded dubious and alert. Narinder frowned, things might have just gotten harder. They could probably evade the Clanners completely if they took a circuitous route around the wreck of the Anklebiter, but that relied on the unreliable Yakuza Mechwarriors and would likely delay their attack considerably. An ambush might work better, but they risked engaging another two enemy BattleMechs, one of which was already off its patrol route. He switched over to lasers and tagged the only friendly in sight with a request to chain his message on to everyone in visual range. “Be advised,” he cautioned, “the enemy has sited a downed ‘Mech and has summoned their commander to investigate.

Thank you, most gracious PTN, for letting my late order count (even though the sum total of my offensive contribution was literally six missed attacks ) So, things we know thanks to the fluff paragraph: 1) The heavy unit isn't a Star Commander. 2) The light unit is a Star Commander. 3) The heavy unit is holding position this turn. 4) The light unit is moving toward the Kit Fox's position. The Charger, Quickdraw, Hitman, Spider, and Von Rohrs probably need to not be visible from the road next turn. Roughneck "Frosty" My initial thought is to cross the intersection to clear out some of the congestion (that I helped cause...) in the southern group, and open up some movement/ambush options on the right side of the map in future turns. If we end up shooting this turn, something has gone horrifically wrong.

All righty, so the mech in 1834 is the Star Commander coming to investigate what his cadets have gotten themselves in to. Since they know where the kit fox is, goons probably have a really good chance for an ambush if they pull back to just outside of active probe/ECM range of the star commander, then bum rush him en masse. I don't think we know anything about that one since we haven't played the guessing game (I think?) but it's a 6/9 at minimum since it used 9mp this turn. Worst case scenario: It's a Black Lanner of some variant, there's a couple of vicious short range configs and it's a 7/11(14) 55t medium with decent armor. Most versions have only a probe or an ECM but not both, but the A has both along with an ERPPC and two MPLs. Second possibility: A bunch of different Shadow Cats. 3-4 versions are 6/9s with various pretty good weapon loads and close to max armor for their 45 tons. The prime packs a gauss rifle which will seriously damage any player mech on the field since most of you aren't really armored behemoths. Other stuff is less threatening, mostly because it's all lighter or less armored.
