Okay, the tech who welded the Hermes II's armour was clearly a new hire, because that's the second devastating CT TAC it's taken this game.

Frozen Assets: Turn 13 Jenna cringed inwardly as one of the Guillotine’s corkscrewing SRMs veered off-course and slammed into the side of the meteorological building. The missile burst with a deafening thump, sending shattered glass and chunks of concrete raining down. “Captain Kubesch, we are about to execute a fighting withdrawal. Suggest you move with all haste so that Master Voyce can pick you up.” Jenna urged. “Don’t worry about us, Ranger,” Captain Kubesch’s voice crackled. “Just make sure you get Montagne out of here.” Jenna frowned. “Captain, these pirates aren’t screwing around. We can hold them off for a little while, but after that-” “We appreciate the offer, but there’s no need. Most of my men have already taken shelter in the basement. If you want to do us a favour, make sure you radio back to HQ for a relief force to come pick us up ASAP. It’s going to be pretty uncomfortable down here with all these dirty crims stinking the place up.” “Roger that, Captain. Stay safe down there.” Jenna sighed and turned her attention back to the pirates. The three battlemechs that had just exited the hangar were all fearsome designs despite their clear state of disrepair. The Guillotine was obviously the biggest threat, both literally and figuratively, but it was the Enforcer that drew Jenna’s immediate attention. The sluggish way it moved indicated that its engine hadn’t quite reached full power yet, and the armouring to the right of its chest just… didn’t look right. It was a small detail, but Jenna’s instincts as a mechwarrior told her that the Enforcer was the weak link. “Sable Lance, I want all available guns on that Enforcer,” she snapped. “Fire in three… two… one!” The Enforcer easily withstood the full force of Sable Lance’s guns right up until the moment Charles’s PPC punched through the oddly-angled armour plate that had drawn Jenna’s attention earlier. The ravening lance of charged particles wreaked havoc on the Enforcer’s innards, rupturing coolant lines and causing the mech to vomit up some of its internal structure. Even that did not seem to trouble the Enforcer too much until a streamer of energy caressed the mech’s exposed ammunition feed. The grey sky overhead briefly turned white as the Enforcer’s ammunition cooked off. The mech stumbled backwards into the hangar, its entire right side disintegrating into a river of molten metal. Blowout panels on the mech’s head fell away as the machine’s auto-eject system activated, but the Enforcer was now inside the hangar, with a cold, unforgiving ceiling mere metres above. Jenna felt her stomach twist as she watched the ejector seat smash itself into the ferrocrete roof. She had no sympathy for the woman herself, but it was still a sickening thing to watch.

However, the shot will have a +1 accuracy penalty, and the weapon will jam on a roll of 2. If the gun does jam, it will remain unusable for the duration of combat. -Rock Solid: Homebrew SPA. Mechs piloted by this unit are treated as though they have the ‘Stable’ quirk, granting them a -2 bonus against melee knockdowns. -Small Pilot: Negates ‘Cramped Cockpit’ penalties. -Sniper: Modifiers for all range brackets are halved. -Tactical Genius: This ability denotes an enemy Ace. Enemy Aces can move during the players’ movement phase, making them difficult to predict. -Toughness: Grants a -1 bonus to consciousness rolls. Relevant Design Quirks: -Ammo Feed Problems: A flawed ammunition feed may result in the weapon jamming or a round exploding inside the chamber. -Armoured Cowl: Provides 3 additional armour points against attacks from the rear or side of the mech’s head. -Barrel Fists: A mech with no hands may punch without suffering the usual +1 penalty. -Battle Fists: The mech receives a -1 accuracy bonus when punching. -Cramped Cockpit: The pilot suffers a +1 penalty on piloting rolls. -Difficult Ejection: Mechwarriors are at a greater risk of injury while ejecting. -Extended Torso Twist: The mech can twist its torso to threaten an additional hex. -Improved Cooling Jacket: The weapon generates 1 less heat than usual. -Improved Targeting (Short): The mech receives a -1 bonus when firing at close range. -Misrepaired Weapon: A shoddy repair job means the weapon in question suffers a +1 accuracy penalty. -Stable: Grants a -2 bonus when a piloting check is forced as a result of physical attacks. -Unbalanced: The mech receives a +1 penalty on piloting rolls caused by moving through difficult terrain. -Weak Legs: When the unit is kicked or makes a Death From Above attack that unit has a chance of suffering a critical hit even if its leg armour is not breached. -- Primary Objectives: Objective A: Facilitate the arrest of Minister for Trade and Industry Paul Montagne. (Complete!) Objective B: Once Objective A is achieved, either ensure Mason Voyce successfully retreats from the battlefield or destroy or drive off all enemy combatants. Objective C: Etienne Decimis must survive. Secondary Objectives: Objective A: Facilitate the arrest of at least 30 auctiongoers (30/30) (50,000 C-Bill Reward) (Complete!) Objective B: Facilitate the arrest of at least 60 auctiongoers (60/60) (100,000 C-Bill Reward) (Complete!) Objective C: Facilitate the arrest of all 100 auctiongoers (100/100) (150,000 C-Bill Reward) (Complete!) Objective D: Destroy or drive off all enemy combatants (200,000 C-Bill Reward) -- Ace Contingencies This mission contains an enemy ace. Ace pilots move during the player movement phase, making them unpredictable and hard to target. Players attempting to shoot at enemy aces are strongly advised to include contingency orders for alternative targets since the ace in question may not be in their field of fire once the shooting phase starts.

Treb Great loving shooting guys. I don't mind the dice going back to hating my guts if the rest of Goonlance can keep hitting like that. At this point, if you keep running/jumping south we should be well on our way to completing the main objective. Keep the move mods up and we should be clear in a couple of turns. So Scintilla, does the Fire Javelin count as immobile for this turn?

Our luck really is walking back and forth between really, really good, and pretty bad. Completely obliterating a third of the Pirate’s haul in one go is amazing, but I still say we should prioritize escaping. The 200K for finishing them off won’t be worth the cost of one of our mechs exploding. That’s not to say we shouldn’t try to take them out too though. For tactical reasons if nothing else

Aw, not the Enforcer? I started a BattleTech campaign (in the video game), and it rolled me up a pair of Enforcers, and I have to admit, I'm loving them. Just a pair of good, solid Mediums that can jump, and have meaty weapons. Shame that my pilots are all scrubs.

Shame the Vindicator isn't following the lance. If someone can get behind it, the rear LT is unarmored, and there's ammo in there. Not terrible odds to take it off the field in one round of shooting.

Also kinda doubt there'd be any salvage rights involved here given they're our employer's property (admittedly stolen mind). If a great opportunity comes up for a crossfire sure, but not worth exposing the lance for little gain and high risk.

Huh. Considering every enemy remaining is either right on your tail or between you and the exit, feels like there's not gonna be a ton of daylight between "fighting retreat" and "clear the field". Good luck, Goon Lance!

The difference between fighting retreat and clear the field would be a few rounds. But they'd be some of the most expensive rounds of incoming damage. They could try to focus the Guillotine or Assassin (if it makes a dumb move) and if they get really lucky again they could turn the tide in their favor. However the dice aren't with them this time so it's a good call to get out.

You're doing great work. Enough so that I only feel a little guilty about how long my current downtime is taking, rather than being a huge bundle of anxiety. I'd normally work on excel templates between calls at my old job, and I don't really have that sort of during-work free time anymore. Formatting things to be both readable at a glance and good looking is a challenge.

Before starting this LP I had real trouble making all of my datasheets comprehensive, aesthetically pleasing and compact at the same time. It's like the armour-speed-weapons triangle in the game - eventually you have to compromise, and I eventually accepted that the datasheets would have to be a lot wider than I wanted in exchange for fitting everything else in.

OK, actually changing my positioning and going to 1316. That gives me 8s to hit the Guillotine where he needs 10s and 11 to hit back, and keeps me abreast of our Prowler.

If the Assassin is dumb enough to minimize its movement to hit you in that hex, you guys might be able to hit it.

Also unless I'm misunderstanding the Assassin firing down would be unhindered too. I put my order to jump to 1612 facing 1611. If the Assassin wants to backstab then he'll have to jump and deal with that stacked on my +3 TMM
