Can you put me on the list as a potential future pilot? I've played a bit with the agoac box but don't get many chances to play

The opfor has to be running away at this point no? They're down a mech, the wasp is a strong breeze away from CT destruction, the javelin is missing an arm. It's time to run for the drat hills against a mostly intact enemy lance.

Tabletop seems like a lot of fun but I only have the agoac box and that's about as complicated as I can handle rn while everyone here wants to play a tournament with scenarios and picking lances off lists of like 50+ mechs

oh god i'm in a jenner and going to die. I'd like to deploy to 0323 or 1823 facing up so i can start running around like an idiot if that's alright since most of us seem to be in run around and try backshot style mechs

overheat penalties happen at certain levels, starting at +5 heat end of turn oh no if our enemies are also a light lance this could be a bunch of 4/5 idiots sprinting around missing all the time

I am going to suicide in the highest BV mech we have. 4 ml into the back of a mech while infantry take us apart

Depending how dangerously we want to live can the locusts walk straight forward and put fire on the unmoving galleon at 9+ to hit? I think for t1 I'd like to run to 0720 facing up. If all woods are +1 mp I think I can make it there.

Was thinking of rushing up the left side, try to get a little behind them. Don't know if it's better for the bigger mechs to clump in the middle and we send the LCTs flying on the flanks?

I'll probably end up running to 0419 looking NE (9MP) or 0520 looking N(11MP). Have to look tomorrow but it'll depend if I think I can get shot at by anyone with a decent chance to hit. Either way turn 2 I can try to link up with the rest of the lance

# ¿ Apr 10, 2023 01:11 |

I'm running to 0518. The cicada might be able to shoot at me there, but not with great odds
|
# ¿ Apr 10, 2023 22:03 |
|
Can't check again because I'm on my phone but I think the cicada was lvl 2 and I'll be lvl 1 so it can see me because I'll have empty space in front, but either way I don't think that ppc is making the shot Now watch me get headshot critted
|
# ¿ Apr 10, 2023 22:47 |
|
Oh sorry, I've be running on the assumption the cicada will walk to 0709 or run to like 0810 or 0610 to start shooting at us. Forgot we get a full round of move and shoot before they can move at all.
|
# ¿ Apr 10, 2023 23:10 |

are 0512 and 0514 both heavy woods? sorely tempted to sprint straight at the cicada and firing everything while inside minimum ppc range
|
# ¿ Apr 12, 2023 09:51 |
|
I can run to 0513 and fire 2 Mlas for 11+ to hit, but it'll be inside the range of the ppc and I think the machine guns will be 13+ to hit. It'll keep me at 0 heat to respond to whatever the cicada ends up doing. the stinger will be able to hit me on a 9 or 10, but that's only 1 shotSpace Kablooey posted:I'm tempted to dump 3 lasers on the damaged GAL and the other laser in the other GAL. I think I can get a nice arc to both vehicle's sides. I think you've got a good chance to finish off the damaged galleon. Your TMM will end up being high, but it can help even the numbers out

Amechwarrior posted:You should be able to end in 0512 heavy woods for 11MP. Can anyone double check the math? Don't think I can get there, I'm 2 to the bottom of the hill, 2 to get up (4 total), 2 to get down + 2 into heavy woods (8 total), 1 forward (9) and then it would cost 3 to move into the next set of heavy woods.

Captain Foo posted:Option 1a: high kick Kicking is -2 iirc? You'd be piloting -2, +3 from CDA movement, +2 from your run, so 8 to hit on the punch table? Otherwise I think you could run to 0608 and dump short range mlas into what I think counts as back arc while getting partial cover from the stinger with a +2 TMM from 6 spaces moved Alternatively,

Tempted to turn around and blast light tank #2 this turn. We can stay away from the stinger pretty easily, but the commando not moving means it has pretty good shots over the whole valley with the LL
|
# ¿ Apr 16, 2023 09:46 |
|
I was thinking of running south west around the little hill and unloading on the tank there tbh. Will have to check what the to-hits would be but I'd have some cover from the CDA/COM. Don't want to hang the locusts out to dry though.

What I had in mind was a run to 0216, and turning to face NE. I can fire an alpha on the galleon on +9, take return fire from its mla on +10. I don't think the scorpion can hit me after moving at flank, and I think with intervening terrain I'm safe from everything else. This leaves me with 4 heat. I could run to 0910, get +2 TMM, finish facing NE and fire on I think 9+ on the cicada, or 8+? on the commando. I'll be partial cover from the stinger and I think not torso-twistable return fire from the CDA. Would be very exposed to the tanks and able to get chunked by the commando's LL on a 7. I really like running and trying to dump a bunch of relatively safe damage on the galleon even though it pulls away from the other mechs. Can someone with the rulebook handy confirm if a shot from 0910 at the CDA would be back arc? It gets a lot more tempting to trade damage and expose myself to horrible return fire if it is. Edit the more I'm looking at it I don't want to expose myself to a hail of fire at 0910 for a chance at the cicada's back. Would rather trade a real solid shot on the galleon from 0216 for a bit of damage, then move back towards the mechs after ilmucche fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Apr 17, 2023 |

Yeah I'll take 0808 to join in and try to shoot the back out of the CDA. We can shoot through each other without risk right?

I could jump to 0513 and fire at the galleon with 10+, with decent cover from incoming fire. Might be 11+ if LOS crosses both 0712/0713. Wouldn't mind sinking some heat as I'm already at +4, but an alpha would take me to +9. Lose a movement and +1 fire on the next turn, so probably run away to cool off.

Are they better off hitting the rear? The side is marginally less armored though it's still 3mlas hits to kill. Maybe best to do whatever gets max TMM (that might be your move, haven't checked)

# ¿ Apr 19, 2023 21:49 |

I would assume 1206 wouldn't because the infantry are too short, but a mech might be visible but I don't own infantry rules

# ¿ Apr 19, 2023 22:52 |

I'm not sure I can make it all the way to 1513, that's a hell of a distance to cover.

# ¿ Apr 20, 2023 07:38 |

Yeah I was thinking a jump to 1207 and fire two lasers then punch or kick if I'm going after the stinger. Doesn't do much for heat. Does jumping to heavy woods come with a pilot check?
|
# ¿ Apr 20, 2023 14:48 |
|
Ah I thought the stinger had run. Maybe the run to attack the galleon is a better option then. A jump to 1013 and firing one laser at the galleon would let me clear all my heat and running/shooting next turn full on
|
# ¿ Apr 20, 2023 17:25 |
|
Yeah I wouldn't mind a move north in cover. I can get back to 0 heat then jump in and try to alpha strike something

# ¿ Apr 20, 2023 20:44 |

going to jump to 0408 and face SE. there's a jump to 1205 but i think 0408 does a bit better for reducing where the stinger can go

Not having done much in the way of calcs I'm thinking of running to the heavy woods at 0512(0513?) and alpha striking at the stinger. Everything else at a glance looks pretty exposed

Yeah I was thinking a run to 0906 and firing at the galleon or a jump to the woods at 0512 and firing on 9s at the stinger I think 0906 leaves me taking 9+ from the galleon and 11+ from the stinger, relatively safe. I think I can turn to have my left side facing the galleon as well just to protect my already damaged right torso ilmucche fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Apr 24, 2023 |
