It's kinda hard to know what to expect.
I was going to RP, but then things keep jumping quickly on me....and now we're set up for the first fight.....It's fairly quickly paced!

Sorry, sorry.  Dinner with the wife and a movie.  Spiderman.  It was good.  Not great, but good.

Was hoping for some banter from Rabbit during the car ride to the complex and bringing over her luggage, but oh well.

I was going to respond, but every time sat down to posting time to talk was well past.

You can still post your discussion Caitlin.

Teh story has gone well past that point...it would be awkward to bring it back. About the only thing I can do is reference it moving forward eg, give rookie a new callsign of manservant due to his carrying her bags around.

Manservant?  Oh come on....




Entirely to long...

Butler works better

Or even .... Jeeves....

:P

Jeeves??? no way, but Carson... that I will grant you.

and post updated.

Actually I am now wondering if Cade has to google who Mr Carson is lol

In reply to Cprl. Caitlin Mallory (msg # 1115):

Of course......


Never seen the show

I'm not uber secretive about arrangements for the mission just yet.

It's going to be half a dozen power loaders verse a lance of mechs.

Movement profiles breaks down he unit into two groups of threes.

I suggest Millie, Cade, and the NPC cadet take on longer ranged weapons and support roles.

I suggest Adam, Caitlin, and Svend be the 'forward' attack group.  If you're going to bust buildings obviously SRMs are the choice weapon to look at, though i suggest going with what your characters are good with since they're all 'rusty' you're going to want weapons you can hit with (ACs for Adam, Missiles for Caitlin, CAT for Svend)

Since you all suck at the moment (-2 Gunnery/-2 Pilot), you might want to consider looking at munitions that improve you gunnery, like LBX for Autocanons or Flak for SRM missiles.

Your mech, your loadout.  It's up to you.  You may use any of the modules and weapons you have bought.  You may 'borrow' one weapon from the Academy to use, to experiment with.  No double strength heat sinks will be allowed for the match.

Match ends on the turn that a team reachs 12 points.  In the even that both teams reach 12 points in the same turn, the team with 'more points' is declared the winner.  Should both teams have the same points, the outcome is a draw.

Each building is a Light (40cf) buliding and worth 4 points each, so destroying all three will win the match.

Each mech is worth it's weight divided by 10 in points.  Starting Commanders of the unit is worth and additional 2 points so...

Johan = 5 points
Camillie = 4.5 points
Thantos = 4.5 points
Devlin = 4 points

Millicent = 4.5 points
Cade = 2.5 points
Margaret = 2.5 points

Adam = 3 points
Svend = 3 points
Caitin = 3 points

We have access to specialist ammunition?

maybe.  ask what youre looking for and i'll let you know.  Mount an LBX and obviously LBX ammo is available.  Flak missiles are available as well.

Let me know what you do after the briefing and make a mental check while youre at it.

Who needs to make a mental check?

Everyone, incase they're doing something where they might notice something it'll save me the time to ask you to make one.

One would think that Cade would be distracted by all the eye candy on campus, but not this time!


15:58, Today: Cprl. Cade Murphy rolled 12 using 2d6. Me3ntal.

In reply to Cprl. Cade Murphy (msg # 1123):

15:07, Today: Cprl. Thanos Starguard rolled 8 using 2d6. Mental Check.

16:11, Today: 1st LT Adam Carlyle rolled 7 using 2d6. Mmmm, mental. Good to go.

The rolls by themselves are worthless if you dont tell me what you do after the briefing.

22:18, Today: 1st Lt Camille Sforza rolled 8 using 2d6. dat mental.

makes shooing motion.

Go post roleplaying in the roleplaying thread and take your mental dice rolls with you.

o.O

On a daily update now.  Will update once a day, updating players on how their day went.  If i dont see notes on it being done in the RP thread, {public or private} it may not 'officially' happen.  I'm not going to be held accountable for things happening in Private messages or OOC thread, since i'll update once a day looking only at the RP thread at this point.  Mission threads can be expected to start this weekend.  That presumes that X-3 pilots actually get me their desired weapons loads for the mission.  It will be a mixed terrain, bits of woods, a few hills, obviously half a dozen building.  It'll be a single 40x40 map.  Buildings will be no closer than 10 hex apart.

Friendly game that it is, does anyone oppose to running both missions at once, or will that be too confusing for you?

The war game is just an exercise, nothing 'riding on it', so it will be glossed over on the update.

Johan you going to be in command for Opforce for both fights or do you want to give Camille a chance to command?

regarding the PM'd outline.
I think it's my roleplayer thing, never post for more than one activity in a given post, who knows when you get interrupted?

the pm is just a statement of intent, but i'll get to a post for the entire night then.

Frankly speaking she'll take the evening 'off' to get space to herself.

so one question before i post, are there any easily discovered tranquil places near enough by they won't cause too mcuh trouble.

The dorm is in a clearing surrounded by woods, troop out a few feet and you wont likely see anything is your guess.

also, we should probably start a new OOC ;)

the staff don't like us surpassing 1k by a lot.
