Is single leg destruction = mission kill a house rule here? Usually it takes both legs to count as a kill

I know, it’s the obvious fix!! That being said, we should probably repair it and work on getting a 5k kit if we’re not able to do custom modifications with our tech levels

looks like i should be able to reach 0913 to give me partial cover against most incoming fire, get shots on the galleon, and stay out of los of the cicada e: (1022-1017 5MP, 1017-1016 2MP [level change], 1016-1013 3MP, 1013-0913 2MP [facing change] = 12MP) Captain Foo fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Apr 9, 2023 |

i think pushing to the middle and then having the LCTs (LCT #1 here) get into the cicada's business with a leftwards flank might make sense? gotta look out for the jets on the stinger, though

Scintilla posted:This is correct; smoke is generated during the End Phase, which occurs after shooting has been resolved. Also, flamers require a 4+ roll to ignite terrain, while Medium Lasers require a 7+. Machine Guns can also ignite terrain, but require a more challenging 9+. are fires rolled to start on missed shots on enemy, or only on deliberate terrain targeting?

Space Kablooey posted:I have a feeling the CDA will walk at least to 0709 next turn, because that will give it range to the whole valley and not give it a penalty for shooting. Right now I'm not too worried about us being in the open because it can't fire right due to the Lvl2 hill chain blocking LoS IIRC. I'm liking the idea to jump to 1221, it's out of range of the GAL and I could rush the CDA up with the JNR next turn. also if it's at 0709 i can't quite get to rear arc, i don't think

Amechwarrior posted:Note you're also in range of the LL on the CMD and AC/5 on the Scorpion (maybe about +9 to hit) and the PPC on the CDA for about +10. You might want to move a little further as 1120 is only travelling 2 hexes (+0) so you're adding +1 to your to-hit number by walking but not adding anything to the enemies due to moving less than 3 hexes. generally speaking, the breakevens for movement are walk 3, run 5 jump 7, and the positive modifier ratios are walk 5, run 7

Option 1a: high kick 0913-0909,0909-0808,0808-0609 - 12MP, Run 7 (2 Level Change, 3 Facing Change); alpha strike CDA, kick CDA. not sure of the numbers on the kick, which could be very risky Option 1b: close encounter same as 1a without the kick Option 2: partial cover 0913-0511,0511-0411,0411-0311,0311-0310 - 12MP, Run 7 (1 Level Change, 3 Facing Change, 1 Light Wood); alpha strike CDA Amechwarrior posted:I think you can get to 0409 and face NE? Keeps your back safe vs the rest and isn't too bad setup for next turn. It's a right side arc shot, I don't think I can hit that this turn. not quite, stalls out on 0310 (see option 2)

Amechwarrior posted:I think you can go up 2 levels at once for a total +3 mp. Am I remembering something wrong? You should be able to go from 0511 to 0410 then turn N to 0409 and turn NE for kick. oh, i didn't think you could do two height levels at once at all, that would definitely change some of my move options!

Then yes it looks like i have a move with 0913-0410,0409-0410,face NE - 11 MP, Run 6 (1 Light woods, 2 elevation change, 2 facing); alpha strike the CDA, kick the CDA Run 6 is less than ideal but it does keep me pointed in the right direction. Stinger probably has okay shots at me, though

first thoughts are to continue to push north and cut off the tanks, continuing with that part of the plan. going to work out decent move options now. Commando's theoretically vulnerable; jenner and vulcan could maybe cross under the CDA to get some shots on it

i can get to 1009 easily enough to flank the cda, but that's only run 6 and then the STG can easily flank me; i suppose i have enough MP to turn NE which would mitigate that, but i'm still really close to the COM and the troops I can get to the heavy woods in 0504 and get some shots on the STG, or possible twist and still get the cda in the rear end with some lasers, but none of that is going to be resembling a good shot. It should be safe positioning, though I can also get to 0503 facing NE which should still get me some shots on the STG, and sts me up to loop around later, but in any of these cases the STG can still flank me meh. not thrilled with these options e- could also get to 1107 which gets me in the thick of things like 1009 but at least i have some cover? still not great

Amechwarrior posted:We're in a pickle. If we want good butt meat on the CDA we're mostly only moving about 6 hexes for +2 instead of our normal +3 and the INF (who don't have any attacker movement penalty) and COM who stood for +0 attacker movement penalty are in range if we want to be in ML short range to the CDA (3 hexes) rear. oh that's interesting, getting at the rear end of the cda without getting adjacent, not a bad idea
