Might make sense to hang out within range of the goal but stay on-map and blast at long range. If we're assured of getting off the map barring poo poo like unlucky TACs then we might as well take shots at getting the secondary payouts too. Not like we're getting salvage out of these missions.

Farseli, what's your planned target for the Marauder? if i back up to 0210 i can provide fire support while also getting decent odds of legging the hornet with a kick

Damaging the large laser of the Sentinel seemed like a nice outcome, too, though.biosterous posted:Farseli, what's your planned target for the Marauder? if i back up to 0210 i can provide fire support while also getting decent odds of legging the hornet with a kick I like the idea of moving into 0414 and facing 0314, then firing on the Wolverine again. What I'm hearing is just alpha strike because I'm losing that right leg if anything so much as looks at it funny. With any luck I'll survive another turn to put more pain into them. ---- The nightmare of writing conditionals for getting up though. Choosing running MP, so I have 6 to work with. If I fail, manage to keep the leg, and get up on the second try then I have 2 MP left and can still get into the woods, but not turn. Then I have to flip arms and can use everything but the AC/5. If I fail twice, still keep the leg, and get up on the 3rd try then I'll get up facing the Wolverine and Alpha from there. Then questions about LOS. If I make it to 0314, I can opt to have the heavy woods intervening between me and the Griffin if it chooses to fire on me, as the LOS goes exactly along the hex border, correct? And second, the Wolverine could choose to have the heavy woods intervening, but then they would be intervening if the Wolverine fires back? I would elect to have them not intervene between me and the Wolverine to maximize hitting it, but I don't know how it's handled if both units declare each other as targets but then disagree on which side of the hex border to use. My guess is you go with whatever has the most penalty, but again just guessing.

 Popping the hunchback was a fantastic opportunity, and it paid off. With the commando legged, I would say head to the exit but try to get the hornet first, even though it will be a little bit of a slowdown.

In fact I'm pretty sure it's the only scenario where two mechs can (technically) occupy the same hex at once.  Fear the brotherly combination attack! It's almost certainly going to fail spectacularly.

Knowing what absurd things everyone else is doing makes me feel better about my performance. Orders submitted. Hopefully, I didn't make too big of a mess in writing that up. Tried to label the contingency of movement and targeting on (A) getting up on first attempt, (B) getting up on second, and (C) getting up on third.

Except the Dervish and Quickdraw are like, about the same size and weight so the Quickdraw would definitely take damage.

In fact I'm pretty sure it's the only scenario where two mechs can (technically) occupy the same hex at once. In the case of the bridge on the map, can two units not occupy both the bridge level and the ground below? I figured it works the same with DFA as the attacker is considered 2 levels higher than the target hex or the hex they are occupying while waiting to resolve, whichever is higher.

That's a fair point. By the way, that bridge was absolutely a trap, so well done to whoever pointed that out. I wasn't expecting anyone to risk crossing it, but if someone had ended their movement under it I would have destroyed the hex above them and let the falling rubble hit them for 40-60 damage.

Snow_Scar_[3901]: Turn 10 Kai-xi laughed uproariously as his Quickdraw fell for the second time in half a minute. His pod slammed downwards as the mech hit the ground, briefly driving the air from his lungs, but as soon as he recovered his breath he burst out laughing again. Not even the alert indicating that his right arm had sustained actuator damage was enough to dampen his mirth. The battle had been a clown show from start to finish, and Kai-xi was loving it. The fact that a Hornet of all things had managed to knock his Quickdraw over was a joke worthy of The Mechwarrior's Bawdy Review. “A… a t-tiny loving bug…” Kai-xi wheezed as the Hornet levelled its weapons at him. Its meagre armament was hardly threatening, but the ragged state of his Quickdraw’s armour meant it might actually be enough to put him down for good. As always, though, fate intervened. Before the Hornet’s weapons could re-arm Tsing’s Dervish dropped out of the sky and slammed into the ground between them. The Hornet vanished as the explosive impact kicked up a swirling nebula of dirt and powdered snow, but Kai-xi had just enough time to see his brother’s Dervish collapse in a boneless heap. The mech’s still-firing jets drove it deep into a nearby snowbank, burying it until only its legs remained visible. “Well, that didn’t go as planned.” Tsing said phlegmatically. Pain burned in the depths of Kai-xi’s chest as his laughter roared back with a vengeance. “Brother!” he gasped, “Brother, you have killed me. I am having a stroke. You have p-pierced my blessing with your idiocy.” “I am sure you will be just fine. Did I get the Hornet at least?” Still giggling, Kai-xi checked his sensors. “No. It’s s-still out there.” He sobered slightly. “Mike’s signal just went. I think it’s just us now.” “Then it is time for us to leave.” Snow churned as Tsing tried to stand up. Kai-xi sighed and reluctantly followed suit. His Quickdraw’s right hand had sheared off in the fall, but if he balanced himself correctly he should be able to push himself up with just his left. “Typical,” he grumbled. “Just when I was beginning to enjoy myself...”  Marauder MAD-3R (Player) attempts to stand up.

Hmm. The Hornet has a high move mod, going to be a pain to hit. However, if I get up first time, I could potentially get to 0214, behind the Sentinel and Griffin's fire arcs and go beat up the already damaged Wolverine, then do some annoying ace jumpy mech shenanigans to avoid getting targeted by the whole lance at once in subsequent turns. We have a bonus to earn, after all, just one more enemy down will do it.

You know I expected it but it’s still funny. And annoying. Thunderbolt already left, both of you are face down in the dirt, and with the Marauder dead there’s thing to stop you from getting mauled by the entire enemy lance. This turn has been a net negative for us in every conceivable way. And I think we officially have to abandon the bonus objective because you are all within range of the entire enemy lance.

Play it off in the Fusiliers debrief as "You saw the weakness we showed you and pounced on it, well done, A+ for seizing a tactical opportunity, you've come a long way." Then in the OpFor-only debrief chew everybody a new rear end in a top hat, because drat.

Snow_Scar_[3901]: Turn 11 Ricardo’s stomach cramped up as he watched Jean-Paul’s Wolverine and the mercenary Dervish tear chunks out of one another. The Wolverine’s left arm abruptly sagged as a flight of LRMs burst against its shoulder, blasting apart what was left of its armour and shredding the tightly woven myomer bundles beneath. Jean-Paul’s return fire bit deeply into the Dervish’s centre, lasers and autocannon shells chewing away at its bulbous chestplate like the jaws of a spectral wolfhound. Both mechs reeled like a pair of punch-drunk prizefighters, smoke and coolant leaking from the rents in their armour, but each stubbornly remained on their feet. Frustration boiled inside Ricardo’s chest. He wanted to help Jean-Paul, but one of the Marauder’s final volleys had severed his Large Laser’s primary power coupling, depriving his Sentinel of its main weapon. With Cosette’s defeat earlier, it meant that the only big gun the Fusiliers had left was Etienne’s PPC. As if in response to Ricardo’s thoughts Etienne’s Griffin opened fire on the fleeing Quickdraw. Ricardo’s view was partially obscured by trees, but he thought he saw the heavy mech stagger. Not that it mattered – the Quickdraw was probably too far away to catch now. Kicking his Sentinel into reverse, Ricardo pulled back from the main combat zone. He had done his best – in fact he had performed far better than he had anticipated – but now it was time to cut his losses and fall back. In a real battle his priority would now be to try and preserve his battlemech, and that was what he was going to do. As he walked backwards, the wreckage of Mike Clements’ Marauder slid into view. The heavy mech had fallen on its back, crushing a small tree under its 75-ton bulk. The half-melted barrel of its dorsal autocannon pointed up at the iron-grey sky like a mangled index finger, as if Mike had decided to flip them all off from beyond the grave. Ricardo frowned to himself. No, that wasn’t fair. Mike was a stern teacher with a low tolerance for nonsense, but he wasn’t vindictive or mean-spirited. His advice, while often blunt, was nearly always on point. Even Etienne, who grumbled about the mercs every chance he got, privately admitted that they had improved a lot thanks to his tutelage.

Every mission has been stressful, ranging from very stressful to a little worrying. This one is a proper nail biter. I’ll admit my first thought with the Dervish is “what the hell are you doing?” But with it’s jump jets and the woods I think it can get away relatively cleanly. The QuickDraw should probably just get the hell out of here. The hornet has been really good about staying evasive, and trying to kill it might run the risk of getting sniped The safest thing for the Dervish to do would be to jump jet into the woods and start making it’s way north. But I get the feeling you’d rather try and score another kill, and what do you know the Wolverine has some (almost) exposed ammo on it’s left side
