I'm with all those people torn between C, D, and F, for exactly the same reasons. These choices are all so good! Voting D.

I just can't pick! Too many good options! I think I'll be satisfied with whatever you guys choose.

Voting C Clanners all suck and the only good clanner is a dead one. So here is our chance to kill them on both sides.

Going with E because even if F and D sound hilarious, and the other options sound pretty rad too, I can't resist the (potential) siren call of Death Commando shenanigans (Now watch as it turns out the Death Commandos and/or Capellans aren't involved at all, or only in a very minor way, and I end up looking like a dumbass )

Soup Inspector posted:Going with E because even if F and D sound hilarious, and the other options sound pretty rad too, I can't resist the (potential) siren call of Death Commando shenanigans Turns out it's something even more down to earth and low-tech than F. Like taking command of a fleet of catering trucks as they travel from one end of the city to another. Can the players navigate the tight, winding roads of [insert planet here]? Can they edge through the light just before it turns from yellow to red? Thrills! Chills! But hopefully not spills, or it's coming out of their paychecks!

I mean if it weren't for Fury Road I would have voted the "dunk on a Clan so hard they disown themselves" mission in a heartbeat so I really want to see that happen also. In fact most of these, except any where the Clans might win against someone other than another Clan, should all happen. Simultaneously. ptn is up to running scenarios like a grandmaster plays chess right?

All these people watching guys with elite pilots operating massive cutting edge post-Clantech mechs are going to be so nonplussed to be put into 15 ton dune buggies with Material Rifles and 7p8g operators.

Pilot stats are meant to be relative, so that's not likely. I hope they get nothing but infantry and light vehicles.

They'll remember Gramps Ath in his death machine PPC party ride and look across the field to the most terrifying enemy they are facing: a fully functional Vedette. And it will be a greater threat to the goonfor than Ath was.

Whoever read this thread for 2 years, is BT crazy enough to have fun whatever. And if they sperg out about muh stats, this scenario might be a good cure. This thread is an incredible friendly place. Except when people dogpile a certain person for making dark foreshadowing posts .

I'm probably up for piloting and I'm looking forward to it! I voted for C because I'd like to see Demon Hawks D company in action, but for piloting I'd prefer something more lovely and less high stakes. Because I know nothing about battletech.

Even then, it's just a matter of what an individual person would find fun. Some people would be super happy to be getting to play a unique, fun-oriented mission. Some people might be disappointed that they missed getting to roll around with King Dadlas and murder Clanners by one mission. (Or do any of the Andurien facing missions this vote, etc). I'm sure anybody who doesn't want to dune buggy will be given an option to pass, under the circumstances. PTN isn't exactly an iron fisted tyrant.

Dunno what that world's climate is, but as long as it's not a single-biome ocean or swamp a desert can turn up anywhere right? Edit: That was not the edit button, whoops.
