I don't think that was a conscious decision. Unconscious pilot flopping around the the cockpit while the mech falls musta hit something bad.

What a bloodbath. So far out of the 20 Clan Mechwarriors who took to the field, 8 have outright died.

Let's kill them all, ladies and gentlemen. (as in the ones who input suicide configurations) Gwaihir posted:You can make it to 0734 regardless you're fiiine! Good idea, but front side torsos are open and the LL is weak, so I'm going for a regular alpha and kicking duel. Edit: drat, the surrendered pilot from the contracted lance really killed himself?

Yup, status drowned. Also, the Naga pilot was unsurprised at the headcap. Two active OpFor 'mechs. An annoying jumper with a big if inaccurate gun, and a near-mint Wolf Spider with 3 CERLLs .Stand and deliver? Never mind, looks like 8 hexes.

Hey PTN, I should have sunk all of my built up heat this turn, shouldn't I? Edit: And I didn't fire at the Naga, but the Swordbreaker. The numbers look like it was just a mislabel, though. CoffeeQaddaffi fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Hmmm, maybe time for a fancy move. What if I try and push the Viper into deep water. That'll take out its HLL and mobility kill it for a round. I think that would be a 8+ to succeed (-1 push and -1 piloting difference? And Im not sure if the +1 clanner bonus applies, but I didn't count it because I haven't noticed it in play this map).

The HLL is in the right arm, which has intact armor.

Nice job Flippantham! OK, sending orders: jumping to 1031 and facing 1032, alphakick. Left Leg is the most likely route to eliminating the Viper Ocean Breeze, followed closely by double torso destruction. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Sep 1, 2016 |

On one hand, the battle is effectively over at this point. On the other hand, it is going to take like 3-4 turns of moving into position before you can convince the last two clanners of the fact.

Zaodai posted:Oh yeah, we did have some reinforcements on the way. Where the hell are those guys. PTN tends to run scenarios with some understated dynamic difficulty. Had the extra star of Clanners proven too much for the company to bear, no doubt the cavalry would have come cresting over the hill at the most dramatically appropriate moment. It turns out the players punch out CTs like apple cores, so instead they'll roll in during the post-op to marvel at what badasses we are and maybe kill the Viper offscreen if it looks like there's just going to be a bunch of turns where it jumps in circles ineffectually plinking at the Nergal.

Voyager I posted:PTN tends to run scenarios with some understated dynamic difficulty. Had the extra star of Clanners proven too much for the company to bear, no doubt the cavalry would have come cresting over the hill at the most dramatically appropriate moment. Our mechs are shot to hell, so we could REALLY use them showing up if only to act as some ablative armor and a "Maybe you should leave" reminder to the last two mechs. Those clanners are undoubtedly going to try and cherry pick a few of our wounded, and I dont think it would be that unlikely for them, given how beat up we are. I don't actually think they're showing up to kill us though, that was just a joke.

Well that was an interesting turn. We're down to 2 final mechs to kill! Can I kool-aid man into the structure at 3119? Does that cost extra movement? I can't get LoS this turn so might as well move up to dip my toes in the water next turn.

Alternatively, PTN's been rolling for their movement off-map. And they are all still stuck in a swamp, battleteching their way into pratfalls, and absorbing all your luck in the best show of moral support you will never ever see. I'm not sure which hypothetical scenario I like more.
