Good evening, Mechwarriors and observers. Mongoose pilot here, going to attempt to thread the needle to get sight of the mech in 1409, in true scout mech style. I can get to 0417 or 0518. PTN: Do either of those hexes, 0r 0418, have LOS on 1409?

Theoretically, we could collectively choose to walk off the map and achieve a primary objective turn one.

Mongoose It's been too long since I've had to math out movement through water. 8 walk MP, one elevation change to enter water, move through two subsequent water hexes, one elevation change to exit the water, am I missing any costs or additional factors? Edit: Other option is the land route. If I end up in 0314 facing north, torso twisting clockwise, what melee options are available to me if any against the mech in 0414?

Gwaihir posted:I think the kicker with water is you can't use running mp if you're entering a water hex on your turn. I'm aware. The question is if I can steal a march on that stinger by going that way with the 8 walk MP I'm working with, or if I end up moving slowly and getting my feet wet for no tactical upside.

Ardlen posted:If you are trying to get to 0514, it should be: 4 hexes traversed + 3 water hexes + 2 elevation changes = 9 mp. Thanks. Which would be a +1 move mod in a vulnerable position. Heading to 0314. Orders submitted. AJ_Impy fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Aug 24, 2023 |

Exactly. So, plan B, block LOS from the probably-clint, be out of range of one Stinger and point blank on the other.

Mongoose Going to double back to 0419 (Denies LOS to the medium and I think the heavy, long range for the other stinger) and see if we can't pin down the pest in our backfield. How much damage does a Mongoose punch for?

Scintilla posted:Oof, that Thunderbolt is bad news, especially since the pilot is 3/4. Try not to get in his LOS. Bad news is good salvage, if we're minded to collect, and if the ammunition doesn't go off. It's a lovely, easy to maintain heavy trooper, and whilst it poses a big threat, that's mitigated by the terrain given we're almost always aces.

I knew the risk I was taking, deemed it worth taking. This turn I get to kick without risk of being kicked and with a better move mod, against the side with the damaged leg. Orders sent to that effect, taking hex 0725. PTN: Last turn I was accurately listed as being at heat 1, this turn I generated 18 and sunk 20. Card still shows heat 1.

painedforever posted:Should I go for the T-Bolt, or turn around and go for the purple thingy? Because I might have enough movement (I think) to get to 1119 and alpha-strike him. Agreed with Scintilla. The terrain is our ally against the T-bolt, powerful as it is, it's slow and we can deny it good targets. If we can do that and take out the lighter stuff before it can support them, we can gang up on it.

The rear breach is on me for miscounting, but I will quite happily take soloing a similar-tonnage mech and clearing our back field.  So, shall we focus the T-bolt or delete the Stinger first?

Options: I can try to deny LOS to the T-bolt and use the ERLL to plink at the remaining Stinger outside its range, or join in on a T-bolt gang up.

Mongoose Hmm. Hmm. I can get into position to justice foot the Stinger. Move mod if I do so isn't great and is vulnerable to the T-bolt's missiles. It's a risky ploy especially in a light. But there's nothing really great on in any case. Getting a better move mod and blocking the T-bolt LOS exposes my back and limits my fire, advancing more cautiously doesn't have a significantly better defensive mod. I'm going to go for it unless there's a great deal of concern from the audience.

There was an incident in the first thread where a truly superb pilot ripped the cockpit out of a downed mech. Is anything similar feasible here? Edit: That was a Massive Damage PSR caused by a Mongoose. Entirely worth it.

Welp, that was an execution all right. Not planning on being the first to shoot the incoming, There's always the 'Wait, I can explain!' delaying tactic and any delay gets us further downrange. Going for 0521 this turn. Edit: Orders are in. Suggest weapons cold speed high for now. AJ_Impy fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Sep 9, 2023 |

Ideally we want it to submit and come with. Shooting at it is a convincing distraction vis a vis the false SDLF.

It's eclectic. Two Concordat export models, a ubiquitous dangerous medium, and a very exclusive assault. How's the Falcon fall on that range?

Looking at the Hunchback, it has a remarkably even damage spread across both sides. Everything is very thin, however. I'd suggest angling for the right side as that leg is exposed and a mobility kill is just as good.
