Treb Prowler for Allied MVP. That Rifleman kill might have just kept our rear end out of the fire long enough to recover. Priority this turn seems to be to make for the facility. We can take potshots at the APC for now but no need yet to expose ourselves to the view of the rest of the pirates to do so. Next turn is when it needs to be put down for sure. I could make for 1712 or 1713 this turn and then be in the facility next turn but If I do that, I'm gonna need help from Gwaihir to watch my back and keep the Assassin from getting in behind me. Scintilla, can I decline LOS to the Centurion from 1712?

Nice callback from the HBS campaign with the pirate gang. It seems like everything is going wrong on this drop but you guys can turn it around. Heading inside the base and cutting off LOS is the right call. Just remember the Whitworth will be able to reach over those walls once it's done handling the stranglers down south. You guys might want to pop that APC before it unloads it's cargo.

Alright, so my destination might just be 1712 this turn, declining LOS to the Centurion. Next turn I should be inside the facility. Planning to shoot the APC this turn (pending another clarification from Scintilla) and hope my planned movement next turn will allow me to hit it again. Gwaihir, what's your plan this turn? Let's coordinate our movement to dissuade the Assassin from going after us, and if I'm close to the wall you might be able to just jump over it next turn to safety. Scintilla, am I allowed to have contingency shooting orders in case the Assassin closes to within my range? Something along the lines of 'Shoot the APC, unless the Assassin...' Amechwarrior posted:Just remember the Whitworth will be able to reach over those walls once it's done handling the stragglers down south. I fully expect the fight down south to take a while. A bunch of 4/5 pilots jumping/running around in light mechs for 2+ move mods makes for a pretty slow buildup of damage, unless the original Opfor wise up and decide to go after the Whitworth. anakha fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Apr 14, 2024 |

I'd been thinking about 1712 as well but it's a much better hex for you. Instead I think I'll move to the hex you're in right now. I'll shoot the APC unless the assassin moves in to give me a better shot. Then next turn I can just hop on to the wall itself.

not only is the rifleman off the board, it's also almost completely intact - gonna be either some nice salvage or worth a nice bonus (whether in cbills or in negotiating power for the rest of the contract) the centurion has 0 TMM, no armor on the LT (and no LA to soak hits), and that's where the LRM ammo is. TBT and SHD have a Fun And Spicy option available

That Manticore has absorbed an absurd amount of fire this mission. Sure, it's been a mobility kill for basically the entire time, but here it is, still soaking up hits, with armor to spare. Almost rooting for the crew.

TBT and SHD have a Fun And Spicy option available It's an option, but I actually don't mind it alive for now. Given how indiscriminate the pirate forces are in who they're fighting, every pirate engaging the security forces is one less pirate firing on us. And that Assassin just might find the Centurion a more tempting target than Gwaihir or myself... The APC is the priority target right now because it potentially threatens one of our win conditions. I can put off taking on the enemy Mechs for a turn or two as long as we put that vehicle down.

Looking at my options, hopefully I can stand on the first try and walk forward to 1208, which will give me decent shots on the front of the APC. And thanks to my slapstick routine last turn I don't have any heat burden so now's a good time to unload everything on it lol

Gladiator Right now I'm thinking I'll walk to 1209 and shoot my PPC at the APC, with a contingency to target the Assassin with one ML and SRM-6 instead if it gets within 3 hexes of me, and a kick if he goes all the way. I'm close to overheating and moving a little slow this turn, so I expect to be a tempting target for the sadistic pirate with an inferno boat (but of course, so is an ailing laser Centurion, so who can say).

Frozen Assets: Turn 8 A throbbing migraine was building inside Alexander’s skull. He had smashed his forehead against his Trebuchet’s control panel when he fell, and then one of those Silver Phantom bastards had shot his mech in the head while he was out cold. The padded lining of his neurohelmet had cushioned similar blows in the past, but not this time. A furious pressure radiated inwards from his temples, as if someone had surgically implanted a pair of golf balls inside his brain. The pain was unbearable, but Alexander did his best to force it to one side and focus on the battlefield. The most immediate priority was the pirate APC. Alexander had no idea what kind of troops it might be carrying, and he was determined not to find out. He switched his ammunition feed over to incendiaries and fired his Trebuchet’s full complement of weapons, raking the vehicle’s position with missiles and laser beams. The rest of Sable Lance opened fire almost immediately after he did, sending chunks of soil and debris flying high into the air. With such a weight of fire it seemed impossible that the APC could survive. And yet, survive it did. The APC careened across the frozen ground, slaloming around Sable Lance’s ordnance like an out-of-control toboggan. It pivoted left, then right, its wheels throwing up huge plumes of snow as it undertook some of the most extreme evasive manoeuvres Alexander had ever witnessed. At any moment he expected the driver to lose control and spiral off into oblivion, but whoever was behind the wheel somehow managed to keep the vehicle from flipping over. It was astonishing, and left Alexander at such a loss that he temporarily forgot about the pain in his head. How had the APC managed to slip through their barrage? The answer, Alexander supposed, was some combination of skill, luck and whatever mental derangement enabled someone to drive full tilt towards a collection of mobile heavy guns. It was one of those fringe cases where a lack of self-preservation was actually an asset. As Alexander was gathering his wits his commlink abruptly crackled to life. “Attention all friendly units. This is Captain Kubesch of the Panzyr II Military Police. The primary target has been apprehended. I repeat, Paul Montagne is now in custody.” “Already?” Alexander blurted incredulously. Captain Kubesch let out a hearty belly laugh. “I know, right? Dumbass literally walked right into us.” His voice quickly regained its professionalism. “Two of my officers are escorting him to the transport. I’d recommend an immediate evac, but it’s up to you. We’ll stay here and keep making arrests. There’s a storm shelter in the basement we can use as a holding pen.” “Roger that, Captain. We’ll let you know our decision shortly.” Jenna replied cooly.

However, the shot will have a +1 accuracy penalty, and the weapon will jam on a roll of 2. If the gun does jam, it will remain unusable for the duration of combat. -Small Pilot: Negates ‘Cramped Cockpit’ penalties. -Sniper: Modifiers for all range brackets are halved. -Tactical Genius: This ability denotes an enemy Ace. Enemy Aces can move during the players’ movement phase, making them difficult to predict. -Toughness: Grants a -1 bonus to consciousness rolls.

(Complete!) Objective B: Once Objective A is achieved, either ensure Mason Voyce successfully retreats from the battlefield or destroy or drive off all enemy combatants. Objective C: Etienne Decimis must survive. Secondary Objectives: Objective A: Facilitate the arrest of at least 30 auctiongoers (24/30) (50,000 C-Bill Reward) Objective B: Facilitate the arrest of at least 60 auctiongoers (24/60) (100,000 C-Bill Reward) Objective C: Facilitate the arrest of all 100 auctiongoers (24/100) (150,000 C-Bill Reward) Objective D: Destroy or drive off all enemy combatants (200,000 C-Bill Reward) -- Ace Contingencies This mission contains an enemy ace. Ace pilots move during the player movement phase, making them unpredictable and hard to target. Players attempting to shoot at enemy aces are strongly advised to include contingency orders for alternative targets since the ace in question may not be in their field of fire once the shooting phase starts. Next Orders Due: Saturday 20th 9:00PM GMT.

So are you guys going to stick it out or try to pull out? If you can clear the field that's a sizable bonus in addition to likely arresting more auction goers. Also, the Grimm Sybil's Lance is likely thinking about the same economic considerations you are. If it's getting too expensive it's not worth sticking around. If you can pop that APC and take care of the Ace, they might reconsider the mission. On the other hand, you have the VIP. Just getting them out now and abandoning the base could signal to the pirates you don't want a fight. I'd be tempted to stay and fight it out, but that's not my call.

I think we stick around for at least a couple more turns, but with how atrocious our dice are I'm not sure we really have the capability to clear the field here. I think I'm going to jump on the wall this turn, but I'm not sure what my target will be yet. E: Not that this is at all a bad scenario, on Scintilla's part, but it is a great example of why I kinda hate default 3025 play. Everyone has very little damage output from poorly optimized mechs with average pilots leading to hit chances very rarely breaking 50% + low damage if you do manage to hit. Scintilla, do I have los to the centurion from the 1911 wall hex? Or am I too high up with him tucked in against the wall? I desperately wanna hit that dumping lrm ammo.

Yeah I agree with Gwaihir, we should probably start a fighting withdrawal when the prowler's ready to head out.

I think we can afford to stick around a turn or two longer to see what happens but depending on what Mr. Ace does things could get sticky really fast. Don’t forget the Assassin is tied with the Javelin for the fastest thing on the field. I don’t have any specific advice really. Just be careful and we should probably bail if we can’t start making things happen soon

Treb Scintilla, if we choose to bug out, how many turns before the Prowler has collected its squads and is ready to leave? Holybat, Dachshundofdoom, if you want to maximize your chances of hitting the APC and protect yourselves from an Assassin backstab, you could move the Gladiator to 1109 and the Wolverine to 1110. I wouldn't be too worried about the APC's weaponry, and you've both got enough front armor to take one turn of the Assassin's sandpapering. I was planning last turn to run to 1110 or 1409, but the current position of the 3 pirates in/near the base mean I risk getting my rear end shot off for running in right now. Currently thinking of reversing to 2214 and firing on the Centurion, unless anyone can suggest a better move.

Fwiw nothing actually has a rear arc shot at you in 1409, although the assassin could absolutely move in to the rear from there. So probably not a great move regardless. I'd consider 1115, and unloading on the panther. It has so little CT armor left, that you have a good chance of crit killing it via engine or ammo hits- Panther srm ammo is in the CT iirc. Also that puts you inside ppc min range penalty. Gwaihir fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Apr 18, 2024 |

It's not that I'm trying to avoid Assassin backstab in jumping to 1708, I figure it serves two purposes: 1. Close enough for the enemy target priority shift to the Wolverine instead of the Prowler if that comes back into play. 2. I keep a higher TMM because I'm not worried about the sandpapering of the SRMs, I'm worried about eating a bunch of Infernos staying an easy target. EDIT: Whoops, brain fart, forgot it was only 3 hexes for the target shift bonus, updated destination. Holybat fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Apr 18, 2024 |

Scintilla, when I send in Ace Contingency shooting orders, can I designate different weapons firing than the regular weapons order? For example, normal order is shoot SRM6 at APC, but Ace order would be shoot large laser AND SRM6 at Assassin instead.

Holybat posted:Scintilla, when I send in Ace Contingency shooting orders, can I designate different weapons firing than the regular weapons order? For example, normal order is shoot SRM6 at APC, but Ace order would be shoot large laser AND SRM6 at Assassin instead. That's totally fine.

Holybat posted:It's not that I'm trying to avoid Assassin backstab in jumping to 1708, I figure it serves two purposes: No prob. I'm leaning towards Gwaihir's suggestion of 1115 so that may also draw the Assassin's attention. No better time than now to take out that APC. E: I'll go with the majority decision on staying vs bugging out if Goonlance wants to make a call now. anakha fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Apr 18, 2024 |
