I'm rethinking my position due to the Goblin - Instead of 1315 and kick the WVR, 1514 looks safer. The Goblin would have easy shots for 3x SRM 6 if I'm in 1315. If the Prince hadn't blown that building I would have been fine. I would be shooting at the rear, less armor, great chance to go critical, but I won't be able to concentrate on the right side. I'd also lose the kick. Opinions?

Anything that keeps the Goblin from shooting is good. 3 SRM6 are nasty.

Liking how the meta-plot here is going. The trainees are doing better this mission - point is that this is training after all. They're doing better with tactics and coordination so it's one jump jet at a time.

Same, at a minimum they can probably do something about pirate forces that try their luck, and can at least discourage opportunistic raids. It's much better than the first fight!

Cityscape_[9994]: Turn 13 Jean-Paul bared his teeth as his Wolverine endured another punishing barrage from the mercenary battlemechs. How had it come to this? Everything had been going so well! The enemy Lance was worn down and running low on ammo, while his Wolverine had been nearly pristine. Dropping down and attempting to pick one of them off had seemed like the obvious thing to do. Even if he didn’t manage it, his sudden appearance would surely send them scurrying back to cover, buying Etienne another few moments to consolidate the remaining Fusiliers. For once, however, Jean-Paul’s penchant for opportunism had not paid off. Instead of retreating, the mercs had literally lined up for the privilege of shooting him out of his mech. He had barely escaped the first barrage, but it was clear that this time his number was up. As he swivelled to take a shot at the Victor the Blackjack’s Large Lasers cut his Wolverine apart, severing its left arm and melting a gaping hole into its rear armour. Moments later a volley from the Wyvern blew off his right arm, sending it and its precious AC/10 spiralling off into a nearby copse of trees. A rush filled Jean-Paul’s ears as his Wolverine’s Gyro failed. He clung on grimly, tracking the Victor even as his mech began to tip over. As he fell Jean-Paul snapped off one last defiant shot with his Medium Laser. Sparks flew as the flickering beam traced a path across the assault mech’s damaged left arm, but though its superstructure glowed red the heat was not intense enough to cause any real damage. “Come on,” Jean-Paul grumbled. “You couldn’t give me that at least?” As if to answer him, the pod bucked, slamming him back against his command couch. A bitter tang filled Jean-Paul’s mouth, followed by a sharp pain. It was so sudden that Jean-Paul couldn’t help but cry out. “Word to the wise, rookie,” A jovial voice said over open comms. “Grit your teeth when you fall. Stops you from biting your tongue.”  No orders received for Wyvern WVE-6N (Player): GM takes control.

Good shooting team. Thanks for making up for the appalling rolls the Victor had lol. I'm thinking of moving the Victor to 1815. Set up for a move down towards the GRF next turn, take a pot shot at the statue, and keep the STN honest lol. Otter Madness fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Feb 21, 2024 |

drat I got lucky with that double gyro kill. We'd still have crippled it anyway but now it can't pester us like the Sentinel is trying to. Gwaihir posted:OK you guys have the PERFECT chance to nuke those fuel tanks now!! This. quote:All fuel tanks have a CF of 30 and a Height of 1. I'm in good position to advance and get shots on the tank in 2416, but I don't have the firepower to pop the tank even if I overheated. We also seem to have a very narrow LOS lane to the tanks. We can probably split between the tanks and statue while we move forward. Don't forget to move away from the Goblin. Scintilla - Does 2016 or 1916 have LOS to the fuel tanks? What does MAG: 60 mean again? What happens when they explode (range/damage)?

Preemptive question. If the Blackjack runs to 2016 can they shoot the fuel tank? Actually I guess it doesn’t matter. Magnitude 60 (wrong, that’s the explosion I think. Still has 30 Hp though) is how much damage it takes to destroy them right? If so it would take the Blackjack a lot of time to make it blow up. We’re not in the clear yet but I think the worst is over. The bulldog is still scary, but it’s a close range combatant and we have a pretty good lead on it. The Griffin will get less and less threatening as we advance, and the Sentinel has already lost it’s primary weapon. If we stay smart we’ve got this in the bag

Amechwarrior posted:Scintilla - Does 2016 or 1916 have LOS to the fuel tanks? What does MAG: 60 mean again? What happens when they explode (range/damage)? Hex 1916 has LOS to the tank in 2416. Hex 2016 does not have LOS to any of them. MAG is short for Magnitude, which rates both how powerful the explosion is and how wide the AOE is. A tank with a Magnitude of 60 will deal 60 damage (in 5-point clusters) to any unit standing in the same hex as the tank when it detonates. Units standing in the ring of hexes adjacent to the tank will take 50 damage, while units standing adjacent to those hexes will take 40 damage, etc. As you can see, Magnitude scales up very quickly, so be careful not to get caught in the blast if you decide to go for it. If you want to clear some of the refinery buildings to make shooting the tanks easier / safer, that's fine - they aren't explosive. The four single-hex pumping stations (the ones with the grey blocks on their roofs) are Heavy Buildings with CFs of 40, while the inner building hexes are Medium Buildings with CFs of 30.

Thanks for that. Does 1716 have LOS to that tank? I think it should. Looks like 1916 is in the splash zone and I can get to 1716 instead. If we can set it off, it should do like 100+ damage to the Sentinel If it then sets off the rest of the tank farm. However, I need some assistance, I can push out 16dmg and need at least 14 more. I don't want to lose MP for next turn even if my ML would still have reasonable odds.

I think you can reach 1615 or 1516 and if you blast it with what's left we should be able to breach it. Also we don't want to be in the 19xx row as that's as far as I think the blast goes. Scintilla do either 1615 or 1516 have LOS to the tank in 2416? What's the plan for the VTR and WVE? I think between the both of you you can pop the statue. But we have to consider the Goblin on our flank and Vedette at the rear next turn as we push forward.

painedforever posted:New Wyvern pilot reporting for duty! painedforever posted:Wyvern You and I are basically wingmen on this drop for the Victor and Hunchback that are the majority of the firepower in our Lance. Usually we just help kill whatever they're shooting at. 1716 is the spot I was hoping to take. Do we have other options? The HBK is the most restricted, so it should get first choice of 1516. Your WVE and I can jump, but I'm running a bit hot for that, as are you. I can put 16 DMG on target (watch me roll 2s because I called out the HBK on rolling 6s) without overheating from 1716 if I walk. If you jump, you'll add 4 heat, and only have 6 remaining, which leaves your LRM-10 that does about 6dmg on average, 10 at best. I'd say my BJ1 should probably get 1716. 1316 (Scintilla can we get a check?) Should have LOS but isn't great for being shot at by the GRF. You could support the VTR on the statue, but more on the tanks would be nice in case I or the HBK whiffs. I don't want to let the Sentinel get away. Also, it would be awesome. However, I'm okay letting the BJ1 and WVE take shots that would otherwise got to the HBK and VTR.

Captain Foo posted:HBK: I could also get to 1416 (light woods) and start in on the statue if y'all want to get at the fuel tank? I don't think we have the firepower for the tanks unless we really start overheating over 5. Both the BJ1 and WVE are just about to start dropping MP and we'll need it as we close with the GRF. The statue is weak, will remain visible in our operating area, and not time pressed do deal massive damage to one of the remaining units. We have a very narrow window to take the STN down and complete an optimal objective. If one of the LL on the BJ1 or WVE miss, we're not going to get to 30dmg without the HBK.

Submitted to 1716, 2LL at fuel tank in 2416. So, for this Lance to get something done with shooting, either the HBK or the VTR needs to engage. The BJ1 or WVE just don't have the firepower potential they do. We're good for mop up duty, whiff insurance and harassment at this scale of fight. Both have around 16dmg at longer range and about 10dmg in short ranged weapons. The VTR and HBK each have around 36-40dmg at short range.
