I finally got a library card but my local sadly does not have wolves on the border.

You can try an interlibrary loan. It is free, just might take some time for them to get it to you.

Question, how does like of sight work when it comes to shooting around your allies? If the warhammer gets right into the Treb’s back slot will I be able to hit them there? Or should I try a different angle. If I sprint I can fit pretty flexibly in the area behind the Treb, I just want to be sure before I commit

'Mechs do not interfere with LOS, either ally or enemy.

I think you should actually stand still and shoot the treb with LRMs. You'll have 7 to hit: 4 base+2 enemy movement +1 light woods. You're a hex or so out of range of the drop ship, and the galleons are too lightly armed to truly be a worry.

Isn't the Trebuchet in medium range if they stand still? So it'd be 9s with the LRMs?

Regarding fluid guns I'm still sad that the Rasalhague freedom fighter on Ikuta Glacier didn't manage to hit with her fluid guns.

Looks like you're in luck then!

From how far away can I shoot that Commando then? All of my weapons are long range, so maybe I should start shooting at it.

Your max range with your weapons are 18 and 21 respectively, so you could walk forward 5 and start shooting the Commando at long range with both.

I think you can only move up to walking MP backwards

True enough, but fortunately they're a 5/8/3, so reversing 5 is fine.

Nah, walking is walking for to-hit, regardless of forward or backwards.

Thinking of shooting the babby and kicking the Griffin from 2018. Does kicking have an arc?

Yes, the kicking arc is the forward three hexes, and torso twisting doesn't apply.

To clarify, 'Mechs can do up to 2 levels of elevation change.

Maybe stomp the Hetz, and if it is already dead punch the Commando?

If 1516 and 1716 have LoS, then so does 1615, right? I could walk there, and y'know, do a bit of shooting, a bit of exploding...

EDIT: Fixed the coordinates that I couldn't read.

Doesn't look like it:

A because mercenaries should have at least one Frankenmech.

Who was on board the transport?

The Karnov? Nobody I think; it was supposed to be the escape transport for Paul Montagne, but it bailed once it started getting shot at.

If you are in the same hex as a vehicle, you cannot fire your weapons at them. You can totally kick them though. And I think you kick them from the front.
