Agent Interrobang posted:Resistance would be unfriendly. Oh thank GOD! I was worried about not knowing who to shoot for a second there. Although, from the looks of things, it's going to be a long, looooooooong wait before I get the chance to do anything with anything.  :I just want to crush my enemies under my 90 ton heel while laughing maniacally. Is that so wrong?

Mukaikubo posted:Most of the rule changes were around the edges, if I recall properly; things like making infantry/vehicles not as useless, clearing up some contradictions, things like that. If you played Battletech back in the day I am pretty sure you are not going to be lost. The basics have not changed. Can you run that on Mac OS?

What does it say about me that the second Farscape gets mentioned that I start thinking of living dropships and mechs? And now I can only think of getting a living Atlas named Chuck, and the two of us becoming best friends forever.

Agent Interrobang posted:Yeah, sorry for the inadvertent derail there. I think, however, that the basic gist of my opinion can be summed up as 'Battletech is about big robots and should stay that way.' I think it's just Harmony Gold being bastards. They seem to be basically extorting money for an IP they don't even care about using anymore. A quick Google search got me this: http://www.terrania.us/journal/2009/09/harmony-gold-vs-battletech-second.html

PoptartsNinja posted:It's a Clan honor thing. Sea Fox did something to piss the Snow Ravens off, the Snow Ravens overreacted and popped a serious black-quadrant mad-on for the Sea Foxes. Everything else is pretty much the Clans just creating reasons to shoot at each other that aren't "I'm from the Draconis Combine, you're from the Federated Suns, let us fight!" Can Clan Diamond Shark be an option for next game? Please?

Wow, too bad we don't have much in the way of anti-infantry on the mechs. Looks like our best tactic will probably be to fend of their infantry with our infantry while trying to get them to surrender by killing the enemy mechs.

Arglebargle III posted:You guys are honestly still getting protagonist luck. You nailed that Warhammer with a bunch of big guns this turn, while managing to escape retribution despite having critically low armor on two mechs and a head-shot catapult. If they had protagonist luck then both enemy mechs would have cooked their ammo off, or we'd see a repeat of what happened with the enemy ace. Also the ground wouldn't be littered with the bodies of quite as many dead children.

I kinda hope Engine Joe made it somehow. If only so he can track down the Death Commando Ace who ejected, and then beat him to death with a wrench or something.

So Poptarts, I was wondering about something. Are there literally only 20 hostages, or does each one represent a larger group of people. Exactly how many dead children do we have on our hands here?

Sir gently caress You could run and kick the SRM this turn. I think he'd be out of the firing arc for the enemy mechs as well.
