Into the Unknown 1-6 “poo poo,” Rampart cursed as her target sailed over her head. It’d been a quicker reaction she’d been expecting. Its broad, flat feet flashed by only a few meters above—near enough that she could’ve sworn she felt the heat from the jump jet exhaust. Without a moment’s hesitation she rolled her ‘Mech’s arms up and back, tracking the fake SLDF ‘Mech. For a brief moment she mused that the Blackjack might’ve been a decent autocannon carrier, its limbless arms certainly had the traverse speeds to let it track an enemy AeroSpace fighter—and then the pirate opened up with its weapons as it came down behind her. SRMs corkscrewed out of its launchers, raining down on her Blackjack from above. Fortunately, none penetrated—but her DI computer flashed warnings anyway. The Blackjack’s frontal armor wasn’t especially heavy but its rear armor was even worse. “Watch your maneuvering, kids,” Grandpa cautioned unnecessarily. “You may be quick but this guy’s cagey. Don’t let him flank you.”    Movement Phase [N/A] Shooting Phase Mongoose (Player) - Torso-twists to threaten hex 0605! - Fires ER Large Laser at Unknown Vehicle #2: target not in firing arc! - Fires Medium Laser at Unknown Vehicle #2: target not in firing arc! - Fires Medium Laser at Unknown Vehicle #2 (4 gunnery + 2 range + 2 movement + 0 enemy movement = 8): rolled 6, missed!

would it be reasonable to change the colours of damaged armour/structure on the paper dolls? just the number, or maybe the background behind the number. imo it would make it easier to see at a glance what's been hit vs what's still fresh

Into the Unknown 1-7 “He’s hunting for an opening to run,” the enemy ‘Mech squirmed under Theo’s guns as he advanced at a steady walk. It was the SLDF’s preferred form of advance: slow, inexorable, but reliable. Anything slower than the Hoplite would be left behind unless a siege was needed. Anything faster would advance with the unit and hide their speed until it was needed for a surprise flanking maneuver. Theo had been on the battle line many times—the wild kids that made up the rest of the lance clearly hadn’t. Their eagerness was nothing that time wouldn’t cure, but for now they needed the calm, stoic discipline of a seasoned veteran to guide them. “Keep the pressure on and we’ll break his will.” The seasoned veteran coached the rest of the lance. “If he’s desperate, his morale’s fragile. Don’t give him a moment of respite—and for the love of God and the Star League, don’t let him hit you somewhere vital. The last thing we want is for him to think he can win this fight.”  Movement Phase [N/A] Shooting Phase Mongoose (Player) - Torso-twists to threaten hex 1107! - Fires ER Large Laser at Unknown BattleMech #2: (4 gunnery + 2 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement + 1 light woods = 10): rolled 6, missed! - Fires Medium Laser at Unknown BattleMech #2: (4 gunnery + 4 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement + 1 light woods = 12): rolled 9, missed! - Fires Medium Laser at Unknown BattleMech #2: (4 gunnery + 4 range + 2 movement + 1 enemy movement + 1 light woods = 12): rolled 7, missed!

+1 per depth (up to a maximum of +2) to enter each water hex, plus a piloting test, plus the usual MP costs for elevation changes and you can't run on a turn you enter a water hex.

Both the Mongoose and Sentinel are capable of punching, albeit the Sentinel's not particularly good at it. Anything else will depend on what you salvage or what you get when you tap into the spares on the Goddess Orinoco. Of course, what those spares actually are could potentially get better over time the longer you resist activating one of them...

I'm moving to 0603, alpha striking and kicking the APC from the side which should be more than enough to kill it. Would a good idea for the heavier Mechs to keep pressure on the enemy mech, but I wouldn't mind an extra pair of feet helping me out.

Bloody Pom posted:It's going to move before I do It's desperate, it's moving after you do. Desperate units are (temporary) Aces, but if they stay desperate long enough without scoring a significant hit they'll break and start fleeing. Likewise, if they go long enough without taking any damage they'll calm down and resume fighting normally, so it's a good idea to keep pressuring a desperate unit to try to force it off the map. Once they break they stay broken. This is entirely GM determined, it's not a timing thing, it's just me gauging how well they're doing to try to make the last part of a fight a little more challenging with an option to finish it if I think the players are starting to get frustrated or bored. It also gives you tactical choices to make like: sure, you can finish off the crippled Commando but if you do that fresh Hunchback is going to be the sole survivor. Do you really want to risk a desperate AC/20 carrier?

I don't think it's metagaming, the mech is just winning initiative. I can go to 0505 and line up a stomp on the vehicle but I'm worried that the mech will be able to kill one of us

Right, after. I got how initiative works backwards  My point remains the same though, in that I don't know where it's going to be by the time I've repositioned. Going to amend my orders either way to focus on the mech instead. Bloody Pom fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jul 18, 2023 |

Into the Unknown 1-8 “Watch that Javelin, old man!” Ironhead shouted. She’d been paging through Jane’s Fighting BattleMechs on a secondary monitor, and had found something close enough. The arms were wrong, but the pair of six-pack short range missile launchers in the torso were almost spot-on. She hadn’t really had a lot of time for a deeper look; but having something to call it felt more satisfying than just saying ‘that ‘Mech’ or ‘the enemy.’ The Javelin leapt into the air on its jets, barreling towards Theo’s Hoplite with reckless abandon. Its pilot didn’t even try to fire, even as the entire lance turned as one and opened up with their weapons, scouring its armor and blasting most if it away in the span of only a few seconds. The enemy ‘Mech weathered the barrage with surprising grace—and no little smoke where lasers had set myomer bundles ablaze. Ironhead held her breath as it struck Theo’s Hoplite from above, and collapsed almost at once, head-butting the Hoplite on the way down. The Hoplite staggered backwards, its canopy cracking under the blow, but Grandpa kept it upright, standing resolute in the face of the enemy’s most desperate attack. Scrambling to its feet, the enemy ‘Mech turned to flee, all thoughts of self defense gone as the enemy Mechwarrior tried to lurch away on a broken leg.

Does morale breaking mean the mech has lost the desperate tag? I think so as it appears to have stood up and moved I can move behind it and alpha again. It would take me to 16 heat though, maybe hold off to avoid any explosion rolls. I don't have the chart handy but can look tomorrow ilmucche fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jul 21, 2023 |

Battlemech flamers don't need ammunition (they're venting superheated plasma straight from the engine), so it's impossible for your particular model of Blackjack TO explode. Shutting down is not ideal though, and liable to get your pilot yelled at by the mech techs.

With how many back shots we've got lined up next turn, he's going to go down to either critical engine/gyro damage or his SRMs exploding. If the latter, we likely wouldn't have any issue tracking the fleeing APC. Who knows, there could even still be people holed up in the shelters.
