Not that bad for an ambush or city fighter; it'll go right alongside the Liao "Gauss Rifle Surprise" 'Mech (that ComStar didn't expect them to upgrade) and Hanse Davion's unexpected counter.

Oh god this is the Urbanmech Suprise Egg version isn't it (take out 1 DHS, swap the AC/20 with a gauss rifle and 1t ammo).

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

This is from last page, but it was good to see some more of Defiance Industries' Battlemech commercials. Good to see you haven't lost your touch with the things. Nice tying in of the 2nd Donegal's misfortunes on Somerset, right when things were getting grim there. I remember the turns around the time Sergeant Major Kempner's head was shot off and hoping the rest of the 2nd Donegal Command Lance would survive the battle. Good memories. Magnets reference for the Gauss Rifle as well. Nice. But really, those Hollanders look platforms designed to be cranked out as fast as possible, to spam Gauss Rifles onto the field in order for the Lyrans to get some quick fire support or something like that.

Also, really wish this turn would update soon, since I'm really tired and should go to bed soon. Will be :f5:ing like crazy until I do. Plus PTN prompting players to change their orders so more guns can be fired? Now I'm very curious. Hopefully this turn will go better for CrabGuard this turn, not taking so much damage while dishing out more of it to the Clan forces. Still hoping for a repeat of the Gaussback headshot, unlikely as that is to happen. Still, a guy can dream, right?

Dude, I just finished reading Achtung Panzer! It's a pretty grim read, given that the allies figure out that tanks are a total game-changer in 1916 and then just say "gently caress it, this makes war too easy" and start using them totally wrong for thirty years.....

Well, they used them like they did in 1918.

I have a lot of sympathy for this sort of thing. It's REALLY difficult sometimes to see how to do something that is obvious with 20/20 hindsight. I suspect the problem is that you find a local maxima (for example with tanks as infantry support), and the changes to your entire force structure to find other maxima is pretty bloody difficult, particularly with the number of people that have to invest in any such decision.

The ironic thing about this, is that why the Germans did of course revolutionise warfare, where the US and Russian combined arms doctrine ended up certainly drew a lot from the orginal flawed infantry support doctrine.

Spergedit: I think another part of the problem is that wargames in the military training sense are really a product of the post vietnam era, so no really structured enviroment to try poo poo out in.

The statistical likelyhood of that is... also less than 0%, since it doesn't have line of sight to the Flashman.

“Blake’s Blood, those things are huge!” Guy mumbled under his breath as he stared at the lifting Clan choppers. Each mounted the under-slung barrel of a large laser—or possibly a PPC—a heavy armament for such tiny aircraft; and on what he expected would be nimble and irritating opponents to boot.

He frowned—the Lesables had been fighting men for as long as they could recall—serving as loyal Knights of the ancient kingdom of France, then under Napoleon, and Her Majesty the Queen as members of the Royal Canadian Armed Forces. Terra-native Lesables had fought in nearly every war and skirmish; as members of the Star League Defense Force or the Royal Guard. Since Terra’s quiet conquest by ComStar, every fighting Lesable had joined the ComGuards.

Not a single one had fired a shot at a real opponent for over three generations.

The Helicopter’s armor ran like wax under Guy’s guns, and he smiled—it felt good. Fighting was in his blood, was—

His ‘Mech shook, rattled as though in a sudden hailstorm. The big Clanner at the top of the mesa had opened fire—the clattering hailstones actually hundreds of rounds of ammunition from its brace of autocannons. Its first shots took the Black Knight in the leg and, having found its range, the King Crab IIC simply walked its fire up the Black Knight’s chest and square into its damaged arm and torso—apparently hoping for a lucky breach.

Whether by fluke or design, a single shell deflected off the Black Knight’s sloped chest—and punched through the ‘Mech’s chin. Mostly spent, it cracked the canopy before again being deflected—straight into Acolyte Lesable’s chest.

In her Exterminator, Evelyn Rush didn’t see the Black Knight fall. She had far more immediate concerns—her ‘Mech shook like a ragdoll even as its anti-missile system struggled to intercept the clan Dervish’s missiles. She returned fire as her ‘Mech sailed through the air—hoping to throw the Clanner off balance as much as injure it. She touched down lightly a moment after the Dervish touched down—slightly up slope, perhaps ten meters.

She lunged, slamming her palm down to broadcast on an open channel “Mahalo, fucker!” she crowed as her Exterminator’s foot burst the surprised Clanner’s cockpit like a petulant child with a ill-used balloon.

There is no greater joy than the joy of kicking a mech from higher elevation.

Overall I'm going to call that a marginal improvement, actually. As I remember Zellbrigen, executing an unconscious pilot is very strictly verboten. (Intentional headshots are verboten in general, as I recall, actually, since one of Nicholas' friends got headcapped somewhere along the line and he didn't take it well.)

- Fires LRM 15 at V2 Unknown VTOL 2 (2 base + 1 movement + 0 enemy movement + 4 range + 2 EM Interference = 9): rolled 12, 9 missiles hit Left Arm (3/8 armor remains), Right Torso (12/16 armor remains)!

Not that it matters, as this one gets destroyed this turn. But :crossarms:. I don't think helicopters have arms and torsos.

They're Clan helicopters. They're totally allowed to have arms and torsos.

I'm calling this turn an improvement too. Hunchback IIC's still alive, but the Dervish is dead and so's a Donar, and the other one's in pretty mediocre shape. Flashman's still fully mobile too.

Also, the Flashman can run to hex 1714 and torso twist to get a good shot on F2 I think, although it might be worth just finding a good position to hammer the Hunchback IIC from.

That's because it was shooting at the Hunchback :ssh:
