The Coyote's action pose doesn't look right. I'm redrawing it. Sorry. Also not dead yet. (This, incidentally, is part of why you don't see too many dynamic action pics from me. I have much less experience with them and would rather leave most of them in the unuploaded "sketches that must not be seen" portion of my HD. Top-tier artist I ain't.)

An artist friend of mine once said that everyone who wants to draw/paint well has ten thousand bad pictures/paintings in them to get out. Don't worry about having some pics that aren't spectacular, I've yet to see anything from you that was less than stunning.

You should have a speed advantage over a `Mech that big.” Corporal Halas watched the enemy heavy’s blip on his circlevision strip, and frowned quietly. He wasn’t a skeptic by nature, but that heavy was fast. Fast enough to eat his Valkyrie alive if it got close. Still, the Sergeant’s plan was good enough for the time being, and Halas dropped his crosshairs over the distant Jackrabbit and loosed a flight of missiles. They vanished harmlessly into the woods, scattering tree branches that sizzled as they touched down in the acidic water of the lake and draping the Jackrabbit with smoke. His Valkyrie rocked under an unexpected hammerblow, and Halas dropped it into a crouch to withstand the battering as the sharply angular enemy medium soared closer. It wouldn’t reach him then, on a hunch, swung his medium laser in line with Stavros’ Cicada. As if dancing to Halas’ tune, the enemy medium’s jump jets gimbaled and it slid sideways towards the closer target. His shot caught the enemy `Mech dead center, instantly heating the highly-ablative ceramet armor to vapor. Halas grinned silently as the beam stripped layer after layer from the enemy `Mech. With such speed and firepower, its armor had to be tissue thin—yet his exultation changed to a thin-lipped frown as his laser’s capacitors ran dry and his secondary monitor showed no breaches. “Son of a bitch,” he growled. “What the hell is this rear end in a top hat made of?

Still not a bad turn overall. The Hermes II has the firepower of a squirt gun so it isn't a big loss. And now the Rabbit is stationary and just begging to die. A shame the secondary objective was a big failure, though.

Son Ryo posted:Is the '0 enemy movement' here a mistake, or do I just not understand how movement modifiers work? You have to move at least 3 hexes for a +1 move modifier, 5 for a 2, 7 for a 3, and so forth. Jumping is a +1 to the move modifier (so jumping 5 hexes is a +3). The Hermes ran 2 hexes, so no modifier.

PoptartsNinja posted:Turn 10 will be interesting. Still, with the rest of the "17th Arcturan" gone, all you guys have to do to win is concentrate all fire on the Bobcat. Yeah, I know its hard to do what with it being an Ace and having all that bullshit armor and all, along with the fact that the big scary Heavy Coyote is still running around bugging everyone with its bullshit weaponry, but a little focus fire goes a long way. You guys can go for the other secondary objective after you deal with the Bobcat, assuming you're able to survive for that long. Shame you guys failed the first secondary objective, but I guess if those guys hadn't run, GoonLance would be in a heap more trouble... The Jackrabbit is annoying, but it isn't all that mission critical. Sure, snapping off that leg would probably be pretty helpful in the longer run, but I still think you guys should focus on the Bobcat first. Also,  with all those pilot hits on the Hermes there. Wonder how long that Sergeant is going to be out of it... With the luck you guys have been rolling, it'll probably be a couple of turns.

If the remains of the two lances really are the last of the 17th Arcturan then things have really gone to poo poo. We were just a scouting company sent to investigate a wayward dropship. If the whole regiment is based on planet then there should be 11 to 15 other companies, most of them much heavier then us, plus some mixture of tank, infantry and aerospace forces and static defenses. If these agressors came in enough force to wipe them out the goon force is boned no matter what.

I was fairly sure they were legit due to the presence of the Hollander, which is super new and super rare right now. But now they've got mechs using ER Medium Lasers, which are tech the Star League didn't even have? Most likely they're ROM. The actual Arcturan Guard may have been killed and their equipment seized, or they might have been subverted by someone.

A heads up for the thread: in the next month, I'm going to be moving to a new place so updates may be less frequent for a bit. I'm going to do everything I can to keep our update schedule unimpeded, but there will likely be some impact.

No worries. This thread is almost one and a half years old. I think you've earned yourself a break/vacation.
