Alternative, I could just hop behind the guy, because it'd be a guaranteed kill, but eff that poo poo, I'm bringing the Hussar down.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:That feels so gamist As long as it's redeemed in game somehow, I wouldn't mind trying it. Otherwise, I'd have to shoot it to death, uncool otherwise. Edit: Shooting it is! Edit2:The question now is, do I kick? I'd really hate to lose this because of a bad kick that sent me falling on to my ammo or something. Edit3: As far as I can figure, it'd be a 7 to hit, and then a 7 pilot check if it fails, giving me a 50% chance of good 25% of nothing and 25% of bad. Hmmm (I think anyway, my math is terrible) Pladdicus fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Feb 1, 2011 |

Agent Interrobang posted:Basically, as long as you end your turn adjacent to and facing an enemy mech, you can kick once the shooting phase is resolved. Melee attacks always happen after shooting. I know about kicking, just wondering if it's worth it. My kick deals tonnage/5 damage(8 in this case) which would be pretty devastating. Yeah. Ima go for it.

Orders sent as well. Let us pray on the dice rolls. Edit: Question, will we be 'owning' the mech pilots we currently control, or will their owners be cycled between.

Axe-man posted:I'm not sure how PTN will play it but usually, the merc group owns the mech and instead just gives you the one you have either earned or fit your abilities. What I meant is that, the characters, do they belong to us? or are they just our puppets for the current battle, and will other forumgoers will represent them in other battles?

WarLocke posted:Yeah flamers add heat to the target, makes them marginally better than MGs. The fact they don't explode (how does -that- make sense, they're BASED on combustion) also marginally helps  (ohgod I'm going to die)

I'd recommend myself, just for the sheer luck of my ammo not exploding early in, but I'll toss it to the Grif just for taking out that Dragon like a champ. That was brilliant. As for enemies, definetly Hussar. Argh. drat him. Edit: Here's a picture of a robot

Helter Skelter posted:Flamers supposedly work by venting drive exhaust. Which to me sounds like it should actually reduce the heat of the mech firing it a bit rather than raise it, but hey, what do I know. Best not to ask questions. (also, best episode in Community)

Mukaikubo posted:It is a fairly detailed set of rules for basically running an entire mercenary unit (or pirate, or house unit, but mostly mercs) through battles and campaigns for basically as many months/years as you like, generating the appropriate opfors for each battle via random assignment tables and integrating with MekHQ and Megamek so that things tend to just all work together. Fun tool, I have been using it since it was a set of pen and paper rules where you had to track everything and manually put forces into Megamek for every single battle instead of being able to do things automatically. As an example, I have a game going right now where I have a merc unit around 3027 that has a company of battlemechs and a single pair of ASFs with its own run down Union dropship, it is a few campaigns into its existence and I just accepted a pirate hunting contract out in the Davion outback. Every week while you are on a contract, each lance you have deployed has a random chance of getting involved in a battle you play out against the bot in Megamek, and you keep up with salvage, repair mechs between battles, et cetera. That sounds amazing. Where do you get these.

The blue tinted versus white, is that current versus max? What does it mean on heat sinks? Regarding the mech info pages:  Also, am I correct in assuming that the Gunsmith would be good for counter infantry due to its weapons/speed? And that the Ostscout is suited to countering ECM/painting target for missiles dudes? If so, is there any target in particular that it should be focusing on? Looking to try to figure out an overall gameplan to submit my turn.

Ostscout - Fires ER Medium Laser at Visigoth 0943 (3 base + 4 range + 2 movement - 4 enemy movement + 1 heavy rain = 6): rolled 3, miss! - Fires ER Medium Laser at Visigoth 0943 (3 base + 4 range + 2 movement - 4 enemy movement + 1 heavy rain = 6): rolled 4, miss! - Gains 12 heat, sinks 20! Ostscout is listed at 2 heat currently, which is what Gunsmith should be (and is!) The border around the airstrips, is that just signifying that it is now road terrain or is it something else?

My plan is to not engage the mechs right now with Ostscout/Gunsmith. I could get to them, but I really don't want to be the vanguard in two light mechs, unless everyone will be in there?

Orders on time here on out, I sent them super late but not nearly in time to get anything done! Sorry everyone. Also for anyone who wants tagging, I advise updating the gdoc for me, makes it a lot easier for me to refer to when I sit down to submit orders. Oooh, new objective.
