Stop backing up, you stupid Blackjack! I want to smite you!

Hm. So. My plan was originally to close in on that Blackjack and smite it with my Smiting Cannon. Unfortunately, he's running away faster than I can close in, so my original plan is shot. Anyone else have any ideas? Move forward and to the right and hope to flank something?

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Honestly, I should have popped Eights to Aces last turn so I could make use of it now. I had this crazy idea where I would jump on him. Why don't we both do it? Red Mage, Bobbin, care to join me in smiting the hell out of that Cataphract?

Zeroisanumber posted:Knocking it out would move you a long way towards victory, but don't forget about those helicopters and don't discount the damage that the vehicles and the Whammer can still do. Oh, I don't. But the three of us (I think Red_Mage can get there, anyway) are all in range of this rear end in a top hat, and he's picking on poor Skinwalker. Time to use my Smiting Cannon.

Hm. Is there a position I can get into where those trees aren't in my way and I can still take a shot at the Cataphract? I'm not seeing one, but I may be missing something obvious.

As you can probably imagine, bunnyofdoom, I'm moving my Hunchback to support Bobbin in killing the Cataphract. I'm doing this by running as far as I can and then firing as many weapons as I can possibly hit him with, because that seems to be the the thing to do in a Hunchback. Hopefully he and I (and Red Mage if he comes along) can do enough damage to the Cataphract that Bobby can get freed up to go after the SRM Carrier, which is something I DO NOT want to tangle with. At all.

So, I'm thinking I fire my mediums and small laser at the Zukov and my AC/20 at the Cataphract. That sound like a plan, guys?

All right, then. That Zukov is just pointing at me and that worries me. Let's try smiting the Cataphract again, then!

I would appreciate it if someone would kill that Zukov before it decides to shoot me. Not only is it right in my face but it's keeping me from closing to point-blank range with the Cataphract.

We really need to take down that Zhukov so that I feel safe engaging the Warhammer. I really don't want to burn AC/20 ammo on it, though.

All they are trying to do is kill your women and children. That's a perfectly natural reaction to having space mexicans blaring mariachi music in their base next door at 3am.

Is this true? I had no idea, but this sounds perfect. And once the Zhukov is dead, I can get right up in the Warhammer's face and give him a 20 Autocannon hug

Would kicking it be considered splitting my fire, or should I basically just chase the Zhukov around the map until it or the Warhammer are dead?

Agent Interrobang posted:Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It sounds like the sort of ranged cavalry fighter the Hell's Horses would probably really like, since it can act as quick, highly responsive support fire for their vast swarms of tanks and infantry. I'm thinking Prancer for the name. Either that or Shetland. Sea Biscuit.

At least the Warhammer's SRM launcher done got blowed up, so we (and by "we", I mean "I") don't have to worry about any more Infernos from him. He didn't dump his ammo, though, so there's still a chance of causing an ammo explosion! Should I fire my small laser at him in a grand gesture of defiance?

Reminds me of that Star Wars book where there was apparently one lone genius working for the Empire who apparently worked for years on projects with names like "Death Star Superlaser" and "Sun Crusher" without realizing that she was helping an evil empire oppress the poo poo out of people. It was written by Kevin J Anderson. It can be safely ignored.

One thing that has always disappointed me is that no Mechwarrior game ever depicted that battle that I'm aware of. Which is too bad. Something on that scale would have made a fantastic campaign.

I think he's referring to how Hunchbacks don't tend to survive very long for reasons we saw here: if they're allowed to fire they will mess part of your Mech up very, very badly.
