Yeah, as fun as this derailment has been, I'm afraid I need to ask you to find an appropriate place for it; since the Great Houses in Battletech don't have enough nuclear weapons left to glass a single planet, much less the 800+ worlds that make up the Inner Sphere.

Battles in a 0-atmosphere environment are a nightmare, incidentally. 'Mechs are mostly filled with air (like balloons) and don't react well to hard vacuum or water infiltration.

^^^^ Probably on a 12. Incidentally, someone scored a lucky (rolled boxcars) turret critical on one of the J. Edgars. We'll see what happens.  Tempest_56 posted:Bog and blunder. Actually, that would be Verizon deciding that this weekend I didn't really need to have a connection - I've been fighting with them since Saturday noon-ish to get back on. My apologies for the delay, and I'll drop to the back of the queue like a good boy. Nah, you'll get a shot in the next mission. I'm not a total rear end in a top hat and I'd like to see it that people who go 'fallow' without ever taking a turn aren't completely hosed. It's the ones who go silent in the middle of their session I'm trying to "punish". PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Jan 24, 2011 |

^^^ Melissa Steiner's hand in marriage. Also, Nicholas saw the reconquest of the Pentagon Worlds. His new Clans trained in secret for 20 years, then returned and conquered everything. Then he got killed trying to absorb the Widowmakers, which pissed off the wolves and resulted in the Widowmakers' near annihilation. Mukaikubo posted:Lucky shots on K5 The most hilarious thing is? 192 damage is still less than half the potential damage of a single ton of machinegun ammo detonating.

I'd prefer not to put the actual numbers in, on the off chance it'll piss off Catalyst Games. The Jenner had basically no chance to hit (3:36 (still worth taking the shots)), the Vulcan had a slightly better chance but rolled pretty terrible (it happens).

^^^ Recruitment is still open (and probably will be in perpetuity). It'd be identified if they actually had LOS on it at any point, but they haven't. The dragon's on a level 3 hill. It's got line of sight, since heavy woods are height 2 and light woods are somewhere between height 1 and height 2.

An ammunition hit in the turret requires a roll of an 11 (1:18 chance). To score a chance for a critical without armor requires boxcars (1:36 chance). What are the odds of that happening two turns in a row?

A loud squelch of static cut him off before he could finish, and a booming Japanese voice filled Desmond’s helmet for a few moments, before fading to silence. “… What the hell was that?” Barnes grumped into his headset, all pretenses of comm. discipline forgotten. “Yoshita, you’re pretty much a snake, what the hell did he just say?” “Pardon, Rieutenant,” Yoshita replied in comically broken English. “Mechuwarriah Yoshita not transration dictionary.” “I said,” the voice boomed again after a moment, “I am Tai-i Jin Robinson of the 9th Dieron Regulars. To the pilot of the Griffin, I challenge you to an honorable one-on-one duel, that I may have the opportunity to avenge the deaths of the vehicle crews under my command.” “Scrambling comm. frequencies!” St. Croix announced in a sing-song voice, and then Desmond’s headset was filled with static. “—t’s better,” she was saying as his ‘Mech’s communication system linked with the rest of the lance. “That channel had far too many snakes on it for our well-being.

Zaodai posted:Also, I wish PTN would keep his mech listing up to date then if he's going to keep changing the opposing mech and the loadout. It's hard to plan strategy when poo poo is changing every turn. In the most recent turn it's listed as a Grand Dragon, with a Dragon variant loadout for an entirely different variant. It was a typo. It was fixed on my master document, and then decided to unfix itself. I've said repeatedly in posts that it is a DRG-1N Dragon. The typo has been fixed. In the future, if my information is conflicting, it's generally safe to assume that a listed weapon's loadout is correct, especially if that loadout has been used. Tarquinn posted:17 years to go then (unless PTN speeds things up). I wouldn't really call that "just before". They're invading this year. Tarquinn posted:PoptartsNinja, what's Kurita's stance (and policies) regarding mercenaries? A necessary evil, They'd prefer not to use them but they're good for hunting pirates and risky, potentially suicidal missions. They really, really hate the Kell Hounds, but also really, really respect them, so defeating a Kell Hound in an honorable duel is worth the risk of betrayal to some of the more conservative Bushido practitioners. And yes, I have plans for the Capellans. Notice, they're actually doing really well in their war with the Free Worlds League.

The Capellans have leadership that's considered 'bad' because they tend to be very self-contained. Even Maximillian Liao was successful in stopping the slow destruction of his realm (which had been losing pretty constantly to the Mariks and Davions for over 200 years). Max Liao stopped that by forming several elite units and reorganizing his military into something a little more proactive. Capellans do not have bad leadership. They do have problems, militarily, because their officers do not act without orders. That has been the major crippling factor for the Capellan Confederation, and it's something Sun Tzu eliminated pretty much entirely. I don't want to have to add a new corrolary to Rule Omega. It's fluff for a game, it's polarizing. Discussions are fine, but it's nothing worth getting angry about. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jan 26, 2011 |

Kell Hounds: Cylene Tactical Update 5 Combat Results: A Griffin Fires LRM10 at K4 (3 base + 3 jumped + 0 enemy movement + 4 long range = 10): Rolled 5, miss! Generates 9 heat, sinks 12. Now at 0 residual heat. B Blackjack Generates 3 heat, sinks 17. Now at 0 residual heat. C Vulcan Generates 1 heat, sinks 12. Now at 0 residual heat. D Jenner Generates 5 heat, sinks 10. Now at 0 residual heat. K4 Dragon Fires LRM 10 at A Griffin (4 base + 0 stationary + 3 target movement + 4 long range = 11): Rolled 8, miss! Fires Autocannon 5 at A Griffin (4 base + 0 stationary + 3 target movement + 4 long range = 11): Rolled 2, miss! Generates 5 heat, sinks 10. Now at 0 residual heat. “Put me back on with the snake!” Barnes called. Desmond would’ve smacked himself in the forehead if he hadn’t needed both hands to guide his ‘mech. Also, he’d probably have broken his hand on the thickly armored neurohelmet resting on his head and shoulders. He kicked down hard on his ‘Mech’s floor pedals, tripping the pressure-bar that activated the Blackjack’s jump jets and, with careful precision, leaned his ‘Mech backwards to sail over a small copse of trees and into some better cover. “You’re not going to accept—” St. Croix began, but Barnes cut her off. “Damned right I am. It keeps the stupid meatball Drac’s attention on me and off the rest of you. The last thing I want is him taking potshots at your rear armor while you deal with his friends. Now—pull back a bit, and let them come to us. And get me on the channel with that damned—” “You’re on, sir,” St. Croix called. “Tai-i Robinson, or whatever your name was. I accept your challenge on behalf of the Kell Hounds.” To illustrate his point, Barnes popped off a salvo from his shoulder-mounted LRM rack. It missed low by a good ten meters, peppering a rockslide with explosions. Robinson had already moved well away from that position, but responded in kind. “So,” the DCMS Captain replied, “we are fighting the ‘legendary’ Kell Hounds. That is good to know.” Desmond sighed into the mic. St. Croix grumbled, “Goddamn it, L-T!” Turn 4 OpForce Movement: K1 HSR-300-D Hussar runs to 1112 K2 SDR-5K Spider runs to 0911 K3 JR7-D Jenner runs to 1709 K4 DRG-1G Grand Dragon walks to 2215 Enemy Forces K1 HSR-300-D Hussar K2 SDR-5K Spider K3 JR7-D Jenner K4 DRG-1N Dragon yes, it’s still just a Dragon Victory Condition: Disable or Destroy both J.

A note on physical attacks: if they're one level higher than you, you can't kick them. If they're one level lower, you can't punch them. If they're two levels high or lower, you can't melee them at all (unless you want to intentionally fall on them).

If you'd like, I could set up a quick one-off 'trial of position'... but that'd sorta dilute the "OHGODWHAT?!" I'd like everyone to feel. ... So, since nobody chose the Gray Death Legion, I may force us to play a mission with them as part of the Kell Hounds Cylene campaign.

Her lasers spat coherent energy as she waded into a hail of fire from the Kurita Jenner, her little Vulcan rocking under several successive hits. “Wait, Sandra, the odd one—” Desmond tried to warn her, even has he dropped his own crosshairs over the Jenner. Two ruby beams from his large lasers burned the armor from either side of the Jenner’s chest, just as St. Croix turned her flamer against the Kurita ‘Mech. Her questing flames must’ve found the Jenner’s ammo stores, because it exploded spectacularly, filling the comm. channel with static. The Vulcan staggered as the ruby-red spear of a large laser took it in the back. Sandra tottered, then, overcompensating already, the shockwave from the Jenner must’ve skipped St. Croix’s gyro. Her Vulcan fell heavily onto its back, nearly snapping off its right arm in an attempt to soften the landing. “Goddamn it,” Lt. Barnes cursed, “What sort of halfwit arms a scout ‘Mech with a large laser? That thing’s got to be tissue-paper.

Tarquinn posted:I think it was more of a case of SRM2 and machinegun ammo being dumped right in the first turn. Funnily enough, the bigger the weapon, the less dangerous the ammo (since you have less shots, and can use the ammo more quickly). An assault 'mech doesn't really fear an AC20 ammo explosion; but everyone fears detonating machine gun ammo. Yeah, it always has been. I've gone entire D&D games without rolling higher than a 5 on a d20.

It's why I prefer the 3d6 bell curve, personally. If you roll a 9 a lot, that's normal. If you a lot of 3s? Your dice are weighted, go get some new ones.

^^^^^ The applicable game-term is, in fact, prone.Pladdicus posted:Can someone explain the rules for falling/getting back up? That or, someone this turn can give me orders and I'll use them. 2 mp to make a pilot check to get back up. You have no negative modifiers, so it'd be a 5+ check. If you fail (somehow), you fall again and take more damage, but may continue to attempt to get up so long as you have enough walking movement.

The clans can deploy 'Mechs from orbit without ever landing a dropship via armored drop-pods. Everyone else has to either jump out of a dropship while it's in the atmosphere, or land the dropship (if their 'Mechs lack jump jets). The Inner Sphere does not do orbital drops, period. "Combat Drops" are extremely rare, and basically never done in the Inner Sphere right now because A) nobody's going to shoot up a dropship and B) jumping out of a dropship is a great way to lose an entire company of 'Mechs if someone fucks it up. Needless to say, in the books? Combat drops are always successful and nobody ever dies. Edit: Unless your name is Jerimiah Rose.

Nobody's going to shoot up a dropship... without excessive support, since Dropships shoot back and typically have a massive armament.

Still waiting on the Vulcan, and since I've gotta be in to work early tomorrow (and have some other things to do as well), the update will probably be delayed until tomorrow evening / saturday morning.
