AJ_Impy posted:Gladiator pilot here. Advancing 7 gets the Javelin and Wasp in PPC range whilst remaining out of Whitworth LRM range. It's a low probability shot, of the two the Javelin is more dangerous, the Wasp more fragile. Probably looking to end up in 1418 this turn for the clearest shot. What's our targeting priority? Panther pilot here. Never played tabletop Battletech before so feel free to direct me on specifics. Generally though, action economy is king. If we're talking low odds on hit, better to roll them against a target that needs fewer hits to go down.

Well, if we're all in on the Javelin, it looks like I can run to 1518 and just barely be in range with my PPC.

I can head straight north and get to 6 hexes from the Wasp, putting it at short range of my PPC and medium range of the SRM. Though with all the movement, I might still be looking for boxcars to hit....

AJ_Impy posted:Base of 4, +2 for your own movement, +3 for the wasp's movement, -1 on the PPC due to improved targeting (short), +2 on the SRM for medium range. 8 for the big gun, 11 for the missiles. I think you're just about clear of the light woods. I'll back you up on that, heading to 1212 to PPC the wasp. I'll probably hold off on firing the SRM then, for the sake of heat.

AJ_Impy posted:Dibs on 0713, I'm either jumping or running into it to get backshots on the Shadow Hawk. I could turn and walk to 1314, which should put me 6 away from the Shadow Hawk so I can fire on it reasonably effectively.

There goes my 100% hit rate with the PPC.  Can I get a check on whether the Javelin is in my firing arc?

I think we need to go back to that turn 1 strategy of focusing fire, and focus fire on the Whitworth.

Gnoman posted:1610 (facing 1510) would protect your rear mostly - 1711 is the only rear-arc spot the Javelin can jump to, and I don't think that it can actually shoot there if it managed to land. Just to confirm, this move would generate 12 heat, correct? So I don't think firing would be wise for me.

AJ_Impy posted:Yeah, going for the left side of the SHawk seems like the optimal play, firing everything and kicking. I’d go with the ‘Team up on the Javelin’ play for everyone else, with luck we could end the mission. Moving to 1811 and firing at the Javelin, then.

Obviously we should go for the Shadow Hawk (though it probably could use a different weapon loadout if possible).

Scintilla posted:Great question! Unfortunately MegaMek doesn’t display paintwork too well, but the company is meant to have an alternating black / white pattern where half of the mech is white with black highlights and the other half is black with white highlights. It’s meant to symbolise the names of the two founders with both Sterling (silver / white) and Sable (black). Right now all lances are painted the same, but that might change in the future. I've been thinking about how to paint my figures, and since this thread got me to buy into the tabletop game, maybe I should use this.

PoptartsNinja posted:The Thunderbolt's SRM-2 and Machine Guns are really risky. The SRM-2 will function just fine with between 6 and 9 shots (24-36 ammo explosion damage), and the Machine Guns can get away with 3 shots per gun. You probably won't need to use them, but they are free damage if something gets into kicking range. This sounds good. 6 shots of SRM-2 and 6 shots of MG.

I'm thinking I have the Thunderbolt run for the ramp up the right side, though it'll be a bit finicky to get up there without traversing deep snow.
