Snow_Scar_[3901]: Turn 4 A series of hollow thuds echoed through the woods as Tsing unleashed the Dervish’s full complement of missiles against the Sentinel. He pivoted as he fired, sweeping the mech’s launchers back and forth in an attempt to fully saturate the Fusilier mech’s position. Fire blossomed as stray warheads chewed through tree trunks and punched into the frozen ground, sending fragments of bark and plumes of dirt and powdered snow high into the air. Heat warnings flashed inside the cockpit, but Tsing kept his finger firmly on the trigger, confident that the freezing arctic winds would prevent his mech from overheating. As smoke and vaporised soil obscured his visuals Tsing ceased the bombardment and switched back to thermals. The Sentinel had left the woods and was moving south at a rapid pace. It was impossible to tell whether any of Tsing’s missiles had hit, but even if they hadn’t it hardly mattered. He had succeeded in flushing the enemy mech out of cover, which had been his primary goal to begin with. Without the protection of the forest, the Sentinel would be easy prey for Kai-xi and Anna’s guns. While he waited for his missiles to reload Tsing ran a quick diagnostic on the Dervish’s launchers and ammunition feeds. Hot-loading LRMs was always a gamble – pre-emptively arming the warheads allowed him to engage targets at much closer ranges than normal, but the increased volatility meant that any problems with the launch assembly could have explosive repercussions. Despite his reputation as a daredevil, disengaging intrinsic safety mechanisms wasn’t something Tsing did lightly, even in the consequence-free environment they were currently fighting in. After a heartbeat pause the DI computer gave both launchers a clean bill of health, and Tsing relaxed a little. Running a diagnostic after every barrage wasn’t practical, but a quick check every now and then would help put his mind at ease.

This is why I wasn’t 100% on board with the “everyone shoots the sentinel” plan. All of our attacks missed and we flushed it out, but there’s a delicious 0 evasion hunchback and 0 evasion commando which we can’t fire upon because we’re all in the corner chasing the sentinel. It’s probably not a huge deal but it does make me sad to see a missed opportunity. On the bright side the sentinel is now in rough terrain which will slow it down

The HBK is a missed opportunity but would they be able to get LOS the COM without just having to be on the 11XX cliff edge anyway? Probably time for the MAD and TDR to get into position to fight the WVR next turn. Keep one of the two mobile units nearby to match the WVRs mobility. High risk/reward but the QKD could try again for the ring out on the Sentinel. However you're basically back at the starting edge and everyone is between you and the objective. Feels like bait. Maybe stay together and start moving behind/up the hill towards the objective?

Didn't expect the fusiliers to draw first blood Imo it's best to try to move northward and keep the initiative that way instead of getting bogged down trying to fight them directly

Yeah. It was a low odds move, but getting the Sentinel a long way from interfering with the objective is a useful outcome. Cool off and advance, let's see if we can do nasty things to that hunchback as it crests the hill next turn. Claiming 0116 to threaten an unopposed end run. Orders in.

It's an interesting meta situation because scintilla has to act like he isn't aware of the players' thinking and honour the threat of them breaking out to the north even if they intend to do no such thing, which he can see by just reading the thread, which he has to by necessity

chasing down the sentinal for another ringout attempt would be very funny, but i think i will go to 0219 instead so i can either break north or do LOS shenanigans around the hill and support the real heavies no good shots from there, and i'd make the same distance running or jumping, so i should use my jump MP for more evasion, correct? eventually i will internalize the rules enough so that i don't have to ask a question with every post

Back in PTN's older threads players occasionally used Google Docs to discuss their strategies in private, but at the end of the day they still had to submit their orders before the next turn. I always try to play the OpFor according to their own objectives and individual temperaments, even if that means playing suboptimally. If the players make a mistake or leave themselves out of position I'll do my best to punish them for it, but I won't actively plan my strategy around what they intend to do.

Snow_Scar_[3901]: Turn 5 Anna flinched as the angry red beam of the Sentinel’s Large Laser flashed mere metres over her Thunderbolt’s head. The deadly ray sliced into the frosty hill in front of her, gouging a deep groove into the frozen soil and triggering a minor landslide. Anna thought about twisting around and returning fire with her own Large Laser, but quickly concluded that it was pointless. The Sentinel was too far away, and her angle of attack was too awkward. Once again, Anna cursed the Thunderbolt’s lack of mobility. She couldn’t outrun the Sentinel, but engaging it would cost valuable time. The other Fusiliers were rapidly closing in, and a delay at this stage ran the risk of being cut off and surrounded. On the other hand, leaving the Sentinel alone would allow it to harass her with impunity. If it had been one of the light mechs Anna wouldn’t have worried too much, but the Sentinel was just heavily armed enough to be a threat. Pressing ahead might make strategic sense, but leaving a mobile Large Laser in her backfield was tactical suicide. “Hunchback is trying to cut us off from the north,” Tsing’s clipped voice reported. “Griffin and Wolverine are jumping up too.” Kai-xi’s laughter filled the comms. “These mice grow bold, brother! Fine – let them leap into the lion’s den. They are merely hastening their own demise.” Anna chewed her lower lip as she considered her options. Despite Kai-xi’s brashness, getting surrounded would pose a real problem. How much time could she afford to lose before that happened? Ten seconds? Twenty? Surely no more than that. The Thunderbolt was more than a match for the Sentinel in a head-to-head engagement, but if Mike and Kai-xi joined in as well they could probably slag the wretched thing in a single exchange. Alternatively, she could keep moving north and try to use the hill to shield her rear armour. Both choices carried their own risks, but she needed to decide soon, or the Fusiliers would make the decision for her.  Weapons fire for Dervish DV-6M (Player): -Holds fire!

Snow_Scar_[3901]: Turn 6 Mike held his breath as he waited for the Fusilier Hunchback to emerge into the open. The squat brawler had been forced to take a meandering path up the side of the ravine, weaving between snowdrifts and carefully picking its way through patches of loose scree. Its lack of mobility would normally have been a decisive weakness, but so far it had managed to shield itself by staying in the shadow of the cliff face. That time would come to an end soon, however. The north-western side of the ravine was much steeper and more treacherous than the south-west, and the only viable route upwards would force the Hunchback to expose itself. All Mike had to do was keep his crosshairs steady and wait. Time seemed to slow down as the mech’s profile slid into view. Mike fired immediately, but despite his focus both of his Marauder’s PPCs narrowly missed their mark. Undeterred, he triggered his AC/5. The Hunchback lurched forwards in an attempt to evade the high-velocity shells, but doing so caused it to walk right into Tsing’s line of fire. The bulky mech stumbled as a corkscrewing SRM slammed into its head, then staggered as Anna’s Large Laser carved a glowing crevasse into the back of its left shoulder, piercing so deeply that Mike thought the mech’s whole arm might fall off. But the Hunchback was tough, and Cosette was a skilled pilot, and after recovering its balance the mech disappeared behind another outcropping. Mike winced as a wave of heat flooded his cockpit. He had hoped that the freezing weather would assist the Marauder’s notoriously undersinked cooling apparatus, but it looked like firing both PPCs at once would still cause issues. Using the 3D, 3M or even 3L model would have solved the problem entirely, but the Taurians only fielded the 3R version, and so Mike had felt compelled to pilot it for the sake of verisimilitude.
