See, inspirational...come on...where's the heart....

That's why it's so easy to add you to my unit as either a pickup or freelancer...I can give a rousing speech to the other troops and then flip coms and say just tot Reggie, "Kill them all, may Blake preserve us."

Yea~

I'm so special i get my own special channel and pep talk.

Only one weapon fire for the Advance and Destroy mission?

o.O

Slow day or are you guys talking this turn to death?

I'm home...

All done moving into the new place.  Sure I've got boxes out my ears but no more doing 20 mile round trips one car load at a time.  I'm about to post.

This post was slow in going up so i'm not pushing a hard deadline yet, but theres a real time deadline of me going on vacation to resolve the mission... so... would like to move on it.

Also i noticed the disabled player tally is adding up and players are mucking about on the benches... not horrible, but i know what it's like to muck around on the sidelines while things resolve.

Just home from work, will post shortly.

Maybe the gecko can get us 15% off in 15 minutes.  Just cost us freelancers a side mission every now and then.

O.o


Ummm...

Can someone tell me how Matt's results are a mech kill?

I'm only seeing one laser hits, that does NOT strip the armor off the mech, nor does it decompress... so... what am i missing?

It's not a kill.  I've corrected the results.

Oki.

Was a little bit of a confusing resolution for me, so i thought i'd ask to see if i missed something.

The only bigger damage magnet than +0 Def modifier to me, is a shutdown mech that's a bonus -4 to target numbers...

Congrats Teri, if you survive this turn of combat, Mattias will most likely replace you as the target of choice.

dunno about teri... i mean... I feel plenty crowded up here.

honestly, I wonder if we should have taken a turn more to just blow them up, before  advancing.

on a mission like this it's a carefull balance tbh... if we advance too quickly w have too mcuh stuff on our asses.

If we go too  slow we mgiht not be able to take out the 120 health bunker, i mean that is a LOt of Health to chew through.

then again if 3 of us could get two turns of standing still and firing at optimal range, we'd pretty quickly take that out.

All the players that can moved, has moved, so i'm free to resolve op force weapon fire... and will do so.

Still need War Dog, Dragon, and Ziro to resolve.

So far not a lot of offense from the merc this turn.  Good luck peeps.

yeah trying to figure out what would be better, also resolving BM stuff first.

Yick.

Do the Mercs want to concede Advance and Destroy?

It's just not looking good.

Odin and Iron Maiden are disabled.

Quix is Shutdown.

Anastasia is at heat 10+

Catgirl is at Heat 11.5


That leaves you with Avenger, Wardog, Viking, Helia that's combat effective

Opforce has a commando at heat 9.

Opforce has a Thorn, Dragon, Black Jack, Locust, Shadow Hawk, and Hornet... All in pretty good shape to fight with.  Do you guys want to just break off the mission and concede it to the Op Force (all go rescue pretty much would end the combat...) or do you really want to fight it out to the bitter end?

At the very least, you should seriously consider Quix going 'rescue' and disengaging from the mission, shutdown... he's going to be super easy to take out.  I'm not sure the distraction will be worth the cost of repair, as well as the possible MW injury.

Sentry duty resolved.

Guess... i should consider starting contract bookkeeping now.. (ugh)

Messy Round with Tau as well.

Pax had a CT decompression.

Shadow Hawk lead ripped his own leg clean off with a 12 from a failed overdrive PSR.

Malcolm will be in command after a round of confusion.

my real question here is: does all this mean the contract will have a 3rd mission?, since we've still not actually done our job.

frankly, at least the unit leaders would know this.

Hey now...

Ironsword's did their job.

All missions have an effect.

Advance and Destroy is the contract ending mission, this one looks like it's going not so well.

Decoy is the Op Force reinforcement for Advance and Destroy.
Roll 2d6, add the turn they left the mission map, and subtract their walk speed, and that's the turn they show up in Advance and Destroy to reinforce the Op Force there.  If they've already passed the turn, they show up on the next intiative phase.

Sentry affected your repair pool, lose this one and the dropship has to take off, meaning no repairs for next mission.

In reply to Lucius McMurphy (msg # 804):

If the others are struggling it's cause they're unbelieving Heathens that skipped out on my Word of Blake sermon.

but contract  ending missions usually mean a long downtime, doens't it?

also, couldn't decoy join us, if they won? :P

-

we're strugglign cause of a number of issues, one of them being a dragon, antoher being people shooting targets which are already disabled.

and some bad luck on our rear guards part, which really isn't their fault, those shots  were really clean, yet dice roller decided to wreck us.

-

sentry went well because a certain commando couldn't get it's act together, tbh.
there will be words... many. unpleasant. loud. seaman-ear-reddening. words, for that commandos pilot!

Will get a post up shortly. Got called back in last night.

Since I wasn't around for most of this mission, I'll concede to majority rule.

Decoy is left with a Laserjack, a Vindicator and a Whitworth.  Kinda slow to help you out and they are busy with a Wolverine at the moment that had taken out both Lucky and Pax now.
