With all the heat building up in his mech and the pelting of missiles on his ride Gregory feels like fleeing when he sees the Scorpions so lightly damaged. He looks at the scene and decides its best to head south forcing the enemy to pursue him and allowing him to have his ride cool down.

Camille had been running for the past many days, her cicada was in decent condition, unfortunately the same could not be said about any of the other mechs in her company, or the militia that had been supporting them.

She thought she had finally outrun them, the damned combine, and yet here they were, mocking her with their presence, she glared at the hated symbol through her optical zoom.


Init: 8 (success)
00:39, Today: MW Camille Sforza rolled 8 using 2d6. initiative Tn 8.

Crispin let out a breath as only a few missiles connected with the rear of his Raven...things could have been much worse and he wondered inwardly if the EW gear was working and helping divert potential missile hits.  Whether or not it was the case he continued to shift the jamming frequencies as the majority of the vehicles out there were mounted with missile racks.

BBQ is giving off enough heat to give him a good sweat in the middle of winter.  The firestarter is starting to be a little sluggish but is still speedy enough to get him where he's going.

The other Scorpion, armor Pristine, holds its position as they enjoy a target rich enviromnent.

The Hover AMC's decide that they dont have the armor for a direct engagement and take evasive action towards the west side of the map where they have cover fire from the Combine Turrets and LRM carriers.

Not seeing any reason to change his throttle speed Big-T drives his mech forward, learning into the run over the open ground.

Hope I get those tracked APC's attention off the Raven. That back armor just does not look good....oh, well I guess there isn't any in most locations!


OOC: Move to 3020-S (Run 6 +2Mod)

Amos smiled as one of the scorpions was disabled. He didn't bother with the kill shot as the crew abandon the vehicle. He pushed the Panther into a run. "Nevermore. You've got a pair on your six."

With the heat building up in his mech and no proper targets to shoot at BBQ decided to lay low for now. He had to go and reverse engineer those things if he wanted his arament to be more effective.

ooc: No shot
No heat at the end of the turn.

Seeing the pair of APC's move in behind Nevermore, Devlin turns his mech and keeps up the pace to move in close to the APCs.  He fires his mediums at APC #1 and the large and SRMs at APC #2. He misses the second APC competely, but manages to snag a hit on the 1st one.  It melts armor off the rear of the vehicle, some of which falls on the tracks and makes them run out of kilter. Not the best results but at least they know he's here and might will leave Nevermore alone.

As much as Nevermore wanted to keep on dashing away he needed to help ensure these AMC's wouldn't be around to harass the rest of the unit that moves slow enough to keep after.  Working his jamming gear in the hopes to lessen the blow from the AMC's on Wolfman he nudged the Raven around the copse of trees to come up on their left side where he hoped to cripple them as best possible.

A medium laser he had thought had gone wide with the other initially had actually weakened the armour to the point that when he brought the clawed foot of the Raven forward it went through what remained and into the innards of the AMC...

Caitlin saw an opportunity as the Vedette raced in front of her. She moved the Valkyrie forward, shrieking with frustration as the kick went wide when the tank lurched forward.

It was made worse when her lasers went wide of the only remaining Scorpion. Caitlin was beginning to wonder if she should have taken up a career as a tanker.

Guess it doesn't matter what the TN is if I can't make even a 7 ;-P

Joker opens up with his PPC to give the modified APC something to think about.  Lightning explodes sending dirt everywhere, but is a little off to deal any damage.

Camille, enter the field of battle, though she's still too far away to do more than watch.

BBQ takes the lull in the action to try and cool his mech off.

Wolfman, pushes his machine as fast as he can, but finds it's top speed probably slower than he'd like and falls short of his desired location (Whitworths move 4/6/4, so i'm ruling you end up at 3121se.  Your TN is 9+) A laser does strikes one of the APCs Front armor for five damage(no motive damage, sowwy)

Nevermore, hooks around the trees coming up on the left side of the Tracked AMCs.  Weapons blazing in a rush, he kills more trees that Combine soldiers.  A lucky laser hit does seem to do some damage (left 5 damage) stuning the crew.  (Cruise only, no weapon fire).  A big Kick from the Raven crushes more armor and and sets off a pluming fireball to gout out where his foot strikes.

Big-T moves in, guns blazing, and looking impressive and fearsome (at least to the trees he burns down).

Rabbit moves in on the Scorpion trying to harass the other tank crew into flee for their lives, but her accuracy isnt quite up to the task.  Turning sharply to her right she takes out he fustration on the Vedette that tries to zip buy her, bring her big foot down on the Tanks Turret (Vedette Turret takes 6 damage)
11:28, Today: Kitten rolled 11 using 2d6. Rabbit's Kick Location.

"Need a hand there Rabbit?", Nate walks up beside Rabbit, guns blazing as he helps her attempts to put the vedette down.  The Vedette take both weapons and a big kick from Nate that leaves it shattered and pretty pathetic looking.  "There we go.  If they're smart they'll leave that pile of junk and make a run for it."

Nate's ears were still echoing from the explosions against the side of the Enforcers head, the taste of blood was in his mouth but his vision cleared after a moment.

"I'm okay.", he commented after a moment taking in the progress the Eridani's were making.  One of the AMC's were taken out and the crew of the Vedette was bailing having decided honor, was more valuable when you were alive.

"Right.  East side looks to be about cleaned off, that little AMC shouldnt be much of a threat by itself.  Wolfman, Joker, Big-T we need to get our asses out of this fight, like NOW.  The Panthers are never going to catch the Recon lance, but if we linger in this fight it's going to get ugly.  Withdraw south at best speeds, and fire at targets of opportunity as they present themselves.  Recon.  you get to keep them off our backs as we disengage."

Nate quickly looks over the situation and concludes it was going to be a close thing.  If they hesistated too long the Panthers and Hunchbacks were going to catch them.  The Dragon seemed content to pace the rest of mechs which was a good thing since it would be in the fight by now if it really wanted to.

"Move move move...!"

"Understood Enforcer." replied Crispin as he surveyed the battlefield.  Pulling back the Raven's smoking foot after putting enough force behind the kick to set off a couple munitions Nevermore threw his mech into a back-walking feat to both keep in range to support the rest of the unit and also keep his fragile rear armour from further hits.  As he moved back he tracked the various vehicles and soon to be approaching mechs intent on jamming any missiles that he could from impacting on the unit.
