PoptartsNinja posted:I also have a soft spot in my heart for the Behemoth / Stone Rhino for being a colossal middle finger to Harmony Gold. I love the Behemoth for being a really good long ranged direct fire sniper sort of mech. Large Lasers, maybe some ERPPCs. Add in some extra heat sinks. Good times.

Does this mean that poor Andre is going to be a part of the dispossessed after losing his father's mech?  Poor bastard. He lost a priceless family heirloom and now he's going to go from mechwarrior to hobo.

ShadowDragon8685 posted:That's why I put all ammo in my HD and CT, and only once those are filled go for LT/RT, and I make sure to dump the ammo in those bins - the hard way - first thing. Mechanically, that makes sense because if those sections go down, the mech is going down anyways. But story-wise, I thought it didn't make sense because an ammo explosion in CT or HD meant no possibility of ejection?

It's already looking like a pretty god drat bittersweet ending if the Dama Muerta bites it, after all the Caballeros have done to save her and the remaining hostages. This is kind of depressing. Engine Joe's sacrifice turned out to be worth so little....

KnoxZone posted:It is a bit weird. The first battle took 10 days. I guess having more units to roll for makes it take a bit longer. Hopefully that doesn't deny us the chance of having crazy company sized goon units in the future. I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly did enjoy the larger and heavier conflict with all these units on the board. When the clans show up, I wonder if there'll be many people cheering for them?

I think I've played too much of the video games, because I can't help but be a firm supporter of the Davions. In this case though, I think the most interesting option would be B. Keeps options open, allows possibility for different scenarios to occur, while allowing Justin to actually do something possibly worthwhile. Still a firm Davionist, though.

Defiance Industries posted:That arm has clan ER mediums, Ferro-fibrous armor, endo-steel and double heat sinks. I propose the Wolfhound run it to Caesar immediately to make sure it gets reverse engineered by those hard-working, innovative engineers at Defiance Industries, who never quit working for you. Clearly, this is the most logical idea....if the dropships can even take off. The question is, is this the most awesome one? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^: It is called Hegira, I believe.

landcollector posted:So, B3 is a Mad Dog, a custom one at that. None of the variants listed on the wiki carry 2 Clan ER-PPCs. Sucks to be Mechwarrior Knox though; one bit of bad luck and he must leave the battlefield in disgrace. His career and honor will be long in recovering, if they ever do. His likely fate is transfer to a second-line posting and eventually a Solahama unit. I vote that the Colonel take him as a bondsman, after being sufficiently dilatory to milk out as many turns as possible, to learn more about this curious society. So they can better exploit its weaknesses.

Impressing the clan while being "freebirths?" Fighting the clan using their own rules? Challenging a clanner to physical mech on mech combat in the middle of a raging inferno? Fighting while only on one leg? gently caress. Yeah. Despite the dire straits the Guards are in, this has got to be one of the most  turns I've seen thus far. They don't even have to get partial victory now for me to feel proud of them.

WarLocke posted:That was a seriously, ridiculously awesome move. Did you think of it or was it all PTN fluff? If you can do it without breaking Clan Zellbrigen, and if you are within your rights to destroy the Thunderchild, then light that mech up like the 4th of July. Then take him as bondsman. Edit: Defiance Industries' idea is probably better, actually.

WarLocke posted:The best part is that a Zeus is nearly perfect for melee. Your right arms is basically a huge club with missile ports for crying out loud. Wouldn't the dezgra status of the tank make it not count for the purposes of breaking Zellbrigen? It may be possible that the Thunderchild pilot is allowed to vent his anger on some tank... Edit: Excellent. Then DO IT.

This is somewhat offtopic, but I'm not sure where else I can ask: Is there some sort of tech support or active fan communities online for mechwarrior games? I've looked at guides and installation tips and troubleshooting guides but I for the love of God cannot get Mechwarrior 2 (and expansions), 3 (and expansions), and 4 (and expansions) running on my computer, with or without DOSbox. I really want to get back into the mechwarrior games, but....I'm having problems. Feel free to PM me if you're otherwise worried about cluttering the thread.

Thanks, guys. I have tried Mechwarrior 4: Mercs, courtesy of Mektek. Unfortunately recently an error message that includes "address something something string of numbers" keeps popping up after the beginning cinematic, and then the game immediately crashes. Even fresh installs don't work anymore, despite being on a Windows 7 x64 system. Where did you find the installer, by the way? This isn't talking about pirating, just in case anyone was interested; the game is legitimately free now.

If PoptartsNinja hadn't said that he didn't want to have goons on both sides of the fight, I'd almost be sure that this is a way to get players on OpFor.
