Can't wait to go back to the Inner Sphere with the smoking gun of Combine involvement and have Kerensky ignore it because he thinks that's taking sides!

Strobe posted:You guys are thinking about a decade too far ahead for Amaris and a good quarter turn on the ol' clock to do anything about Alexy K and the Periphery Uprising. Yeah, the Star League dies in 2742, people just didn't know it yet. By this point in the story, trust in the institution is so badly undermined by their repeated failures in the Third Hidden War it would collapse on its own even without Amaris.

1315 seems like good defensive terrain to post up at, I'm gonna make my way over and rattle some rounds through my autocannon at the first thing that crosses my path. re: enemy units, the last two are pretty intriguing. We got a prototype Panther and also a special Whitworth that was only for the Amaris Dragoons for use "as a terror weapon." Only 24 of them were ever built. Definitely running into an Island of Misfit Toys here. Wonder if the third guy is a similarly odd duck. Defiance Industries fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Jul 3, 2023 |

Well, guess PTN's dice are still scared of me after the last time I played. Anyway, gonna swing out alongside the right side of the map, use the hill for cover and pop another shot at whatever I get the best number on. Probably the PNT-8Z

Infantry loads and unloads into the same hex as the carrying unit. Unloading takes the entire turn so you can't do anything else, you just plop out into that hex.

Think of controlling a hex as an aisle in a grocery store. You need to be able to do that back and forth shuffle to actually block off movement through.

propatriamori posted:gotta say I'm digging this time period. I imagine it also has to do with the weight class we're in, but the combination of lethality and no Clans is really quite nice. 3rd Hidden War is great. Also there's tons of line units disguising themselves as pirates doing war crimes and poo poo.

I hope that we're not uncovering the secret army being amassed to bring down the Star League, because then all our characters are probably going to end up dead. That would be a downer.

Actual pirates? No. But this is the Third Hidden War, the "pirates" have their own WarShips at this point. They can get a fuckin Crab.

propatriamori posted:what official Battletech sourcebooks / etc discuss the Third Hidden War? I've hardly seen anything that wasn't Third Succession War or later. The five Great House sourcebooks and the Star League sourcebook talk about it from various perspectives. The Steiner one probably gives it the most focus out of the five Great Houses because it started with bandits attacking the Commonwealth, and you can really see how Kerensky bungled his response and doomed the Star League. The Handbook series also talks about it some, but they had less page space for history and more stuff to cover so it's a bit more light on that era. Most of the Star League-era products also take place during the Third Hidden War. Era Report: 2750, the 2750 field reports and Field Manual: SLDF are all set smack-dab in the middle of the war, with FM:SLDF talking about it as one of the largest current dangers to the Star League's future (which is 100% accurate). Liberation of Terra Vol I also discusses the Third Hidden War in hindsight, as one of the major factors that eroded support for the Star League.

Both the Loki and Thor are kitbashes of a Warhammer, Marauder and Thunderbolt, just not the same one. Goes back to the original Virtual World pods coming up with ways to save space.

AJ_Impy posted:It's eclectic. Two Concordat export models, a ubiquitous dangerous medium, and a very exclusive assault. How's the Falcon fall on that range? Manufactured on Hesperus but not by DI, plus it's an old model that would be out of production at this point. Not much of a smoking gun on that front.

The Clanners named it the Adder and not the Cobra, which is all the proof you need that like Clanners themselves, Clan names are inherently inferior and should be destroyed.
