DO IT. But how will he die that way?

DatonKallandor posted:I jumped into the Megamek IRC channel for that - looks like everyone in there reads this thread anyway and is really helpful. I'm setting up irc here too, I'll try and be on it as much as I can. In the meantime, letting the Kintaro call the targets seems like a good idea for all you people with missiles. As far as movement for this first turn, we hold the high ground right now, as it were, so it doesn't seem like it's worthwhile to move much until we see where the clanners are going, and then once we see what's going down we can just bum rush whoever is off by himself (if we're lucky), and if they don't, we'll we'll see then?

Well, it seems like the best course of action will be to panic and swarm the 2 heavy mechs there, shoot them up, kick them up, and then order the drop ship captain to self destruct before we kill ourselves. But seriously, would swarming the enemy mechs and getting into a brawl while the 'hawk is on the wrong side be a bad idea?

Dolash posted:It's not so much that people don't know the importance of focused fire, it's probably a matter of simple communications hurdles. Six people who don't know each other getting into contact through a mixture of PMs and emails in a one-day period isn't the best way to establish who's going to take charge and what they're going to do. Mech communications that work (reliably) in space are lostech. That's my story.

Katreus posted:Most people have Steam... why not just use that and create a group? Post your plans and if a majority of the group agrees, use that plan. Use a scriblink too so that you can all see how it'll play out. Of course, it seems like some people wouldn't work together regardless so maybe it's moot. Most people had irc and pm's too, still didn't make things 100% smooth! And what fun would this be if everything went 100% according to plan, anyways. That would be boring.

Well, I could get into a similar position to shoot at C3 instead, but I'll probably run into ?1 or ?3 instead, I'm pretty sure at least one of those is chilling out that way.

Hmm, where to scuttle to next... e. I think moving to 306 and then twisting back to 207 would let me fire from cover at C1 without forcing a roll, then I5 moves to 1807 and I3 moves to... somewhere that's in partial cover? Everyone fires at c1 and we just keep hoping for a lucky shot? The 'hawk won't be able to shoot me and the guillotine probably won't want to shot me either. Heck, maybe even have the kintaro pull out of los and see how much the guillotine is following its honor. Dr. Despair fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jun 10, 2011 |

Stopping short in 208 would put me in range of both still, wouldn't it? Hrm, seems like I'm either going to have go go up against the hawk, or risk being caught between the guillotine and the grasshopper next turn.
