The Blackjack was exactly how he left it, he thought. Once he was strapped in and the games had already started he discovered that the seat clamp had not been fastened correctly....which allowed his seat to move forward or backwards with the slightest of jolts.

Great! Just what I need to deal with as a new Corporal looking to impress the company commander!


10:12, Today: Cprl. Thanos Starguard rolled 10 using 2d6. Inish, TN8. PASS

Glad to be back in his mech again Devlin fires up the screens and prepares for battle. But everythign seems to have lag today.  Must be from the techs doing thier prep for the simulated battle. Oh well, one has to deal with what life throws you. Devlin sets his mech in a steady run south.

The Humvee's checked over the installation of the long-range rockets and prepared to get to action.  The group smiled at the possibility of getting back at their lance commander, even if it was just a war-game exercise.

Initiative: pass

11:35, Today: Capt. Johan Jakob Hinklemeyer-Schmidt rolled 7 using 2d6. Humvee initiative TN7+.

Ghost spots Wolfman running acros the field, and leads her detachment to cover the right flank, as she opens up the powerloader to a full run to race into medium range for her Rockets. {Run - R1 F5 -2831ne}

Long shot turns her mech to the right, and starts to walk along her choosen vector, her Long Sniper Rifle, covering the wide field infront of her that was going to be the obvious advance for the Stallions. {Walk - R1 F3 - 2633ne}

Cade pushes his power loader forward for a walk, trying to get a feel for the machine.  He sees the Wolfman running up the right flank and begins to tilt his firing arc in his direction.

Cowboy

While the design was new, the Lt. was right about the controls being relatively similar.  Seeing Rookie moving slowly forward Cowboy matched the projected advance and ran the X-3c comfortably while skirting the lake to right in front of him letting his new Sniper Canon potentially lock on to Wolfman's Whitworth.

Working the kinks out Svend trots the new X-3a through the woods behind Rabbit.  He was going to need to get really close with the new weapons loadout but it was right where he wanted to be.

Run, Right Turn 1, Forward 7 +1 Light Woods, End 2530 Facing NE [+3]

Rabbit wasn't entirely pleased with the new Mech, it seemed clumsier than her Valkyrie....until she started moving. The speed seemed incredibly quick. With a whoop over the comms she charged towards the enemy.

Wolfman may take his weapon fire

The rest of the Stallions may move and then fire.

Omni Op Force may roll weapon fire after all Stallions have moved.

With no other targets available, Wolfman targets Raddit.  Somehow seems appropiate, the Wolf after the Rabbit.  He triggers his ERML whish is the only weapon with a chance to strike at this range. He waits for her to settle into a steady pace and fires.  He winces as the beam strikes the head of her mech, even though he knows this is only simulated combat. That was why he hated fighting against his own people.  Things could get personnel and ugly fast.

Putting his mech into a cruising speed Thanos already knew who his target was going to be. Rabbit had gotten herself to the front of the pack and made herself into an 'easy' target. Squeezing the trigger BJ was jolted forward in his seat by a rock under his mechs heal. Both shots bracketed Rabbit's head by several meters wide.

Camille leaned forward in her seat as she set the bulky warmachine into motion, moving forward at a slow pace.
Finally, as her pace slowed, she took aim and pulled the trigger firing both simulated lazar pointers at Rabbits mech.
Both flew wide of their target, though Camille had expected no less, the range was bad, and Rabbit was a difficult target to hit.

The company captain pushes his mech forward to meet his assigned enemies head-on, but breaks a turn at last moment.  Still, he manages to perfectly align himself for short-ranged shots with his long-ranged missiles.  Feeling a bit off today and crammed in his new mech, he was unable to connect effectively.

In reply to Capt. Johan Jakob Hinklemeyer-Schmidt (msg # 19):

The Hummer will turn and head north around the trees and then NW for as man points of movement points as it has.

Kitten note:
So noted, and done, it ends up in 3213nw after a run, it's not being shot at, so Def Mod is not an issue.

Millie grimaces as she watches Rabbit open up the throttle and rushes her Power Loader way too far in advance.  She was now officially spearheading the assault.  Millie wasnt certain if she should be impressed with the bravery or foolhardiness of the effort.

"Line up on targets of opportunity and take them out.", she comments calmly over her comm unit to Huang and Cade.

"Affirmative Ghost.", came Longshot answers, as a brief flicker of light indicated a sniper rifle had gone off.

Millie lines her missiles up and follows up with a volley as the first exchange on the battlefield is made.

The Humvee crew bounces along the barren landscape heading into action.  They could only hope that they would escape the notice of the enemy mechs which began to engage in mock battle.

Already used Thantos orders.  Waiting for Opforce to resolve weapon fire.

Cade torso twists the power loader to get a better shot on Wolfman.  The mech reacts a bit jumpy to Cade's movements, not really used to the response on the X-3.  He gets a good line on the wolf and fires his two LRM-4 hand-held missiles.  One set flies wide and the other set hit with all missiles, the missiles explode with yellow paint all over the mech's right leg.

Target:Wolfman
G7 -1M, +1 walk, +1 Target, +2 med range = 10

4 dmg to RL?

Cowboy

As Countess strolled her new heavier mech out onto the battlefield Cowboy couldn't help but switch the targeting from Wolfman to her.  Taking as careful aim as he could he fired off a massive paintball round at her.  Unfortunately he was still expecting her to move a lot quicker than the slow Blackjack could accomplish and the round flee wide.

He couldn't wait to get up close and personal but for the moment he was stuck firing off the rocket pack at Wolfman.  Little good it did too as the rockets went flying wide of their target.  Perhaps the guidance systems actually did help afterall...

Caitlin snarled as the shot from Wolfman hit the head of her Mech, hitting her head off the bulkhead. With a curse she vowed she'd make Wolfman pay later for this. Trying to focus she aimed her weapons at the easiest target. Countess in her brand new shiny Mech.

The virtual shot at Rabbit's head must have hurt!  The rest of the unit tried to pile more damage on one another...to work of some intra-unit grievances no doubt.  Alas, the rusty pilots were not able to do much....

In reply to Kitten (msg # 28):

OOC: Actually I think Thanos passed.  There's no penalty on initiatives, right?

No penalties for intiative from being rusty.
I believe everyone passed then and it's op force movement.
