My scout roll is 6+ so I should have been successful.  Unless Kitten rules my roll doesn't count due to timing I should be OK.

The problem wasn't the roll David.

The problem was the actual scouting act happens during the next round during the initiative phase.  You get decompressed in the firing phase meaning you would be offline during when the scouting roll would happen.

Mattias,

Hex 0718 has the disabled remains of a Locust in it.  It's 2mp to enter it, and a pilot check.  Going to presume you're in 0719 since you dont have the movement points to enter the hex.  If you want to change this move, you should do so soon.

Also keep in mind i dont accept over run/jump rolls till the following turn, so make or fail those rolls as much as you want now, i'll want new ones later.

I just got in from work. Going to shower, eat, and then plan to get a post in.

No worries, waiting on you to save the mission... no pressure.

Movement updated.  I did not realize the mech bodies counted as difficult terrain.  I believe jumping into difficult terrain does not affect piloting rolls, and this square is the only one where I could reach the right hill by turn 8.

We must be in some seriously DIRE STRAIGHTS then. ;)

Looking things over now and will get a post up shortly.

Save us all!

We believe in you!

Is that same as Ricky Bobby screaming " SAVE ME TOM CRUISE!!!! " ???? ;)

I'll try my best, but its going to take at least 2 turns to regroup, possibly more if the Hornet decides the slower members are worth harassing.

BtW Kitten, post is up.

Dont forget...

HELIA VIKING and QUIXOTIC NEED SAFETY CHECKS.


War Dog you lost initiative.  The lost of leadership for Arms Inc, have them making intiative checks at a penalty of two.

I'll add it in next time. Thought with the current situation we were in, we went back to using our standard Piloting TN.

If you and Viking stay close to one another you can benefit from the wingman rule, if not, you're both at penalty four to get initiative.

 I would think the hornet pilot would be very glade to have survived the brush with three heavier mechs enough so that he could say, "Hey i did my part".

If she did, she'd be hanging her lancemates out to dry, cant have that.

Merc. Movement and weapon fires for Advance and Destroy.

Also... Dont forget, if you're walking backwards up or down levels, it's a pilot check to avoid a fall.

Well I tried. Got the Locust in the head! The one place tough enough to not decompress from a single autocannon slug. There's a lesson in there somewhere, I'm sure. :D

LOL

If you had hit him LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE, it would have been an auto-decompress.

Good job shooting him in the most heavily armored location he has XD.

On the up-side, that's a pilot hit I believe.

roll 2d6 for the MW damage the pilot took from the hit.

Wont affect their fire rolls this turn, but will the rest of the mission.

Yeah a hit almost anywhere by anything is decompression, you do however have to hit it.

Quick question.

In the low-G environment, would a 5/8 movement go to a 7/10 (or 7/11) or would it become an 8/12?

Also, I assume that it is possible for me to ditch the AC/6 to engage skirmish mode. Or is it more complicated than that?

 Ok war dog, we are going to have to go into bounding overwatch for each other, the suicidal hornet wants to slow us down by sniping at each of us. One moves forward the other turns enough to target the light mech and then next turn the other turns and targets and the overwatch mech moves forward again.

WE AINT GOT TIME FOR NO OVERWATCH! RUN SUCKA RUUUUUUN!

Seriously though, this is all gonna be over in like, 3 turns. So run backwards or something :3

i forgot i would gain more speed this turn... time to hit that west hill :D

 We can not cross the line if engaged, so the pesky fly weight can tie us up if it wins initiative.

Drop the gun, if doing so lowers your weight by five tons youre in skirmish mode.

Your base movement goes from a 4/6/4 to a 5/8/5.

The coverts to a 8/12/8 profile in the current gravity.  it should be noted that going past 8 on ground or 5 on a jump would trigger a safety check.
