Oh hey, the Whitworth didn't move. Running to 0707, the woods should cover me from the Shawk. Speed is life. The Whitworth is giving me sixes to hit.

Eliminate Pirate Lance: Turn 4 Lucas Shaw’s weather-beaten brow furrowed as his Shadow Hawk, Simurgh, rocked under a withering barrage from the enemy Wolverine. Diagnostics flashed on his heads-up display as his mech’s DI computer calculated the amount of damage he’d just taken, but Shaw ignored them. Simurgh was a tough old bird, and he trusted her to protect him, just as she had protected his mother before him, and his grandfather before her. As the gunfire petered out, Shaw stoically took stock of his situation. His dark eyes examined the enemy battlemechs, with their curious chequerboard paintwork and eclectic mix of designs. Mercenaries, no doubt, come to collect the bounties on all of their heads. Their initial assault had been ferocious, but now they seemed to be losing focus, each unit breaking off to chase their own targets. Was it a lack of experience, or were they simply unused to working together? Either way, it was a basic error. A mirthless smile spread across Shaw’s lips as a plan began to form inside his mind. His gnarled hands quickly played over Simurgh’s controls, bringing all of her weapons to bear on the Wolverine and the Panther. “Thabo. I need two volleys into that Wolverine,” he demanded over the comms, the words grinding in his throat like chunks of granite. “Eh?” Thabo responded irascibly. “What’s the magic word, motherfucker?” Shaw rolled his eyes. “Two volleys, right now, or I’ll loving shoot you myself.” Then he fired, not bothering to wait for a response. Simurgh’s guns spoke in unison, raking the Wolverine’s frontal armour. The heavy scout mech staggered as every shot hit home, its gyro struggling to bleed off the force of so many impacts. For a moment, it looked like it might succeed. Then two flights of LRM’s from Thabo’s Whitworth smashed down on top of it like the hammer of God Almighty. The Wolverine overbalanced and toppled over, throwing up a huge wave of dark water as it crashed down into the shallow lake below. At the same moment, Simurgh’s LRMs struck the Panther squarely in its broad, angular head. The light mech recoiled as the warheads detonated, but remained on its feet. Not a killshot, but the pilot would definitely have felt it. Shaw’s smile widened. Splitting fire was always a gamble, but this time it had absolutely paid off for him. “You lads hosed up big time,” he growled, backing Simurgh up while he waited for his weapons to rearm and reload. “I’m gonna kill every last one of you fuckers. Just you loving wait.”  Wolverine WVR-6M (Player) must make a piloting skill check (entering Depth 1 Water). Needs 4, rolls 7: Succeeds!

So we are in a bit of a tighter spot now. Plans for next turn? I can get behind the Whitworth easily and put some shots and a kick to its back, but that doesn't really do that much damage. I can also jump to the wasp and try to kill it with punches. A single punch to the CT will kill it.

biosterous posted:what are my options with standing up + movement? it's not in the quickstart pdf or the lpix guide There are two methods for standing up. You can try to stand up normally, which costs 2 MP and requires a 5+ piloting test, after which you can move as usual. The other option is to stand up carefully, which only requires a 3+ piloting test but prevents you from moving afterwards. You can still change your facing however. There are a couple of other things to note as well. Battlemechs cannot jump after standing up from a fall; they can only walk or run. Since you fell in water, your mech was fully submerged at the end of last turn, which means you sank all of your heat, which is nice. My advice would be to stand carefully this turn, then jump out of the water next turn. Failing the piloting test means falling back down again, which means potentially taking another pilot hit, and possibly a breach, which could cripple you. My Shadow Hawk can't do enough damage to knock you down again by itself, and the Whitworth is probably going to be a bit distracted this turn, so you should be fine.

Eliminate Pirate Lance: Turn 5 After taking a moment to steady his aim, Alexander fired his Stinger’s lasers at the Whitworth. One of his shots missed, but the other speared the Whitworth in the chest. The armour there must have been fatigued, because the narrow beam of energy punched straight through, leaving a smoking hole in the middle of the plate. Flames flickered within the breach, thin at first but rapidly growing in strength and fury. A hollow boom split the air as something exploded deep within the Whitworth’s chest, and Alexander’s heart leapt as he realised he must have hit an ammunition bin. “Watch out, people! The Tin Woodsman’s about to pop!” he warned. The Whitworth jerked and spasmed as its remaining LRM ammunition cooked off. Armour plates buckled and burst outwards as the shaped charges inside each warhead detonated one after another, a cataclysmic chorus of destruction that tore the stocky medium mech open from shoulder to hip. Gutted and broken, the Whitworth collapsed in a mangled heap, flames belching from its charred and mutilated corpse. “Good grief…” Charles murmured, clearly shocked by the carnage. “Keep your eye on the ball, Castle,” Alexander chided, although he couldn’t help but wince. Ammunition explosions were never pretty. The mech’s DI computer transmitted the concussive force into the pilot’s neurohelmet, essentially delivering a burst of mental static directly into the mechwarrior’s brain. The pain was excruciating, and could have fatal consequences if the pilot passed out before they could pull the ejection handle. The damage done to the mech was even worse. Alexander doubted they would be able to salvage anything of value from the Whitworth. The explosions would have broken the mech’s skeleton and mangled its internals beyond recovery. Once, long ago, the Star League had developed technology that could vent such destructive explosions outwards, limiting the damage somewhat, but the blueprints and production lines had been lost in the chaos and slaughter of the Succession Wars. Alexander sighed and forced himself to focus on the task at hand. With the Whitworth down, the pirates had lost their fire support. The scales of battle were tipping back in Sable Lance’s favour. Now they just had to capitalise on it. Wolverine WVR-6M (Player) must make a piloting skill check (standing carefully). Needs 3, rolls 10: Succeeds!

panther jumping behind the wasp to try and finish it off sounds great, as does the gladiator and stinger focusing on the javelin not sure if i should keep trying to duel with the shadow hawk, or risk running up behind the javelin to shoot its back (and expose my back to the s.hawk) does stepping from a depth 1 water tile to a regular terrain tile cost 1 movement, or 2? any piloting checks for exiting water? i'd also consider jumping but going off of sarna.net i think that most of my jumpjets are in my legs and i know i can't use them while they're submerged

biosterous posted:panther jumping behind the wasp to try and finish it off sounds great, as does the gladiator and stinger focusing on the javelin Moving out of Depth 1 water costs 2 MP total, without any piloting checks. It can only be done using Walking MP, so the only way you can leave the lake from your current position is by turning upwards and walking into hex 0616. After that you can use your full MP to move, so you could choose to run around to hex 0416 and shoot the Shadow Hawk in the back if you wanted. Also, you actually can jump if you want to; the Wolverine actually has all of its jump jets in its torso sections, so they aren't submerged in Depth 1 water. Edit: Also, just as a general note, the fluff wasn't exaggerating about ammunition explosions utterly destroying a unit. Anything that suffers one and isn't protected by CASE is removed from the salvage pool at the end of a given mission. It's an extra thing to consider when you see an enemy unit that looks like it might be a nice acquisition. Scintilla fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Mar 19, 2023 |

Consider hiring the pilot given he ejected! I mean, fresh meat, with the alternatives being leaving him on the battlefield to wander home (unlikely, given however many dozens or hundreds of kilometers it is), ransom him (even more unlikely, given if he's a pirate it doesn't involve a family of high worth ad the pirates aren't gonna wanna pay to get him back given they just lost a highly expensive Mech with him in it). So can hire him, leave him and (likely) let him die from the elements, or just take him to the nearest port and set him lose/give him to the authorities.

I'll be letting the thread decide what to do with captured mechwarriors at the end of each contract. Bear in mind that some of them might refuse to sign on for narrative reasons, eg. a captured DCMS Tai-sa will probably not be keen to join the company due to cultural reasons, especially once the Death To Mercenaries edict is signed.

Eliminate Pirate Lance: Turn 6 Yukiko Ishimura watched dispassionately as the pirate Wasp and Javelin attempted to encircle her. At the last possible moment she feathered her Panther’s jump jets and leapt into the air. Beneath her, the enemy light mechs looked on helplessly as she soared away, carried to safety on wings of fire. As she landed, she took aim at the Javelin and fired her PPC, determined to finally finish the wretched thing once and for all. A simmering frustration bubbled up from deep within Yukiko’s chest as the beam of charged particles passed over the Javelin’s shoulder, missing it by the barest fraction of an inch. Her teeth made an audible grinding noise as she fought to control her fury. What was wrong with her today? Her first two shots had been flawless. How could she have lost her focus so easily? Why was it so hard to- Yukiko grimaced as a familiar pain began to spread across her back, the same dull ache she always felt whenever she lost her composure. The doctors insisted that her scars had healed years ago, and that the feeling was psychosomatic, but Yukiko knew better. The pain was a curse, the last clinging remnants of her father’s hatred and contempt. His enmity dogged her footsteps, clawing at her in moments of weakness, trying to drag her down into the mud – but she wouldn’t let it. Not now. Not ever. With a supreme effort of will, Yukiko forced her furious heartbeat into a calmer rhythm. As the pain in her back slowly ebbed away she examined the remaining pirates, trying to decide which one to engage next. One more hit. Just one more solid hit, and she could banish the ghosts of her past for another day.

Good shooting team. I am probably going to walk to 0914 and shoot at the Shadowhawk.
