I think I can jump to 1515 (if I'm reading the grid right), and then shoot at the Commando.

every time you take a head hit, you have to solve a captcha, and the more heads hits you've taken the more fire hydrants you have to click before your controls reactivate e: the Commando finally has a goal (survive for as long as possible) and therefore you need to destroy it before the Griffin because i want it to fail that objective biosterous fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Oct 11, 2023 |

Time to kill the metal baby. Remember it's got Narrow Profile, so this will take longer than you'd expect unless some of those PPCs can land a solid blow. Not sure if the SHD stay out of the GRF's LOS but still have a shot at the COM. The GLD might as well stay up close to the GRF to avoid it's weapons. You're in the final stretch with minimal internal damage. Just keep the TBT and SHD out of being the best shots for the OPFOR and the other two have enough armor to melee the GRF to submission.

Gladiator Moving to 1322 and having it out with the Babby. My PPC should be going out on 7s vs return fire on 10s. I've got the armour to face tank a round of fire. My plan is to keep pushing towards them and trying to get behind.

A thought. The Griffin is next to a hole. Someone ending in the hex north and not firing their arm weapons could try and shove them in.

I think that'll be a bit later. We're all out of position. We pound at the Commando while closing in. And then we shove the Griffen around a little bit. And then practice our DFAs.

A mech standing in 1517 would be six hexes away from the Commando, although you don't seem to have enough MP to make it there.

River_Bed_[1268]: Turn 11 “Oh man, my goose is about to get cooked, huh.” Armando Pasquier muttered as a storm of gunfire tore into his position. He twisted sideways in an effort to minimise his Commando’s silhouette, but with so much incoming fire something was bound to get through, and it did. Red light flashed as one of the lasers boiled away what was left of his mech’s chest armour. Armando sucked in a surprised breath and shuffled uncomfortably on his command couch as a wave of scorching heat flooded his pod. At the same moment a chorus of overheat warnings and engine alarms assaulted his eardrums, telling him in no uncertain terms that the shot had damaged his Commando’s fusion reactor. “I didn’t mean it literally!” Armando griped, shaking his mech’s fist at the oncoming mercenaries. “This is not a comedy skit, goddammit! Although… uh… I guess I have been clowning around for the past… uh… however long it’s been.” A sinking feeling filled Armando as he felt the grim shadow of The Babble fall over him once again. The Babble was a bad habit of his, one that he had tried to break for years without success. Whenever he was nervous or excited his tongue unlatched itself, allowing an avalanche of pure nonsense to spill out of his mouth. One time, Armando had spouted so much rubbish at such a high speed that his instructor back on Coromodir had become convinced that he was on amphetamines. “But I mean, can you blame me, really? I don’t know what I’m doing! Boss man tells me to go west, so I go west. But then the mercs shoot at me, like, right away, so I’m like, whoa, wait a minute, I better slow down! Oh, but then I think, nah, I better keep going, and then bam! I run right into the Treb. So then I shoot at him, and holy cow, everything hits, and I’m like, wow, I must be a secret genius. Seriously, it was like Hanni Schmidt was guiding my shots or some poo poo. Then I shoot the Shad and the Glad and only get a couple more hits, and realise, nah, I’m just an idiot who got lucky. Who pilots a Glad these days anyway? Didn’t the Dracs scrap them after they all shat the bed that one time? Yeah, they got stomped by Commandos. Ha! Commandos! Commandos are pretty cool actually, I know because I have one-” “Pasquier! What the gently caress are you blathering about?!” Etienne interrupted angrily. Armando squawked in surprise and embarrassment. He hadn’t realised he’d been broadcasting on an open channel. He must have accidentally knocked a switch or something. “Fuckfuckfuck! Sorry, sir! You know how I tend to ramble on a bit when-” “I don’t care! This whole match has turned into a shitshow, and I don’t have time to deal with your verbal diarrhoea!” Etienne took a deep breath, clearly fighting to stay calm. “I’m overheating, badly. Head north and make as much noise as you can. Try to get the Shadow Hawk and Wolverine off my back while my sinks do their work.” Armando raised an eyebrow. “I’m overheating too, sir. My engine’s in pretty rough shape. I mean, I’ll do it, but I don’t think it’ll buy you much time.” “I know that! But I’m at the end of my loving rope here! Do it! Now!” “Roger that, sir. Beginning suicide run.” Armando shrugged, then kicked his Commando into gear and raced north. As the Shadow Hawk and Wolverine steadily grew larger, he wondered which one of their guns had his name on it.

Slavvy posted:Am now torn between helping to guarantee the vaporisation of the commando or trying to close the distance to the griffin ASAP and put some rounds into him instead Little bit crazy idea. Just don't move. Give the GRF a very easy target and draw fire. If he takes the bait, he'll keep his heat up and you'll draw fire away from everyone else. You've got the armor to stand up to it and it would let you get great odds on the COM. Afterwards, everyone should already be close enough to the GRF to not worry as much due to minimum range.

I'd just concentrate on the COM, as the GRF for secondary target is harder, and Narrow Profile will make the COM harder to kill for everyone. You also have the best armor left, so if the GRF and COM unloaded this turn, you're the best choice out of everyone. If the GRF takes the bait, this will continue to overheat it. This is great for you guys if you also finished the COM. Amechwarrior fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Oct 15, 2023 |
