People can move me if they want. I am about to go camping with the family and won't be able to get to it until Sunday evening.

Einar, move Antons units pretty please and i will try and get an update up sometime this weekend.

Will do.

Have some errands to do but should be up in a few hours.

(sigh)

once again.

speed is life.  If you keep your tanks sitting there, they're easy targets.

Ive done serious damage to them each turn that you've moved without a movement modifier.

>.<

I've had no free time this trip, please initiative/move me if needed.

 Kitten/boss, I would love to have the tanks rolling forward but if I do that then that leaves the lrms launchers open to easy attacks and I have already lost one Lrm launcher vehicle under my protection, so thought it best if one of us try and draw fire or at least be in position to shoot back at any mech shooting at the lrm launchers, or at least that is my thoughts on why I am trying to protect that side.

Quick question Kitten...

LRM Carriers can only fire when given targeting or retreat off board if not engaged right?

I presume the Raven is not running EW since nothing was declared during Initiative?

The dropship is of course running full EW.

Raven is maintaining the existing 1/2 EW.

Defensive EW, got it.

Not reflected on map, but presume it's up.

actually it is on the map, nvm.

Ya didn't really answer my question about the artillery but since my initiative covers NPCs and uncontrolled units I could rightly guess it covers the arty too correct?

If they can move I'm totally going to...not that they can fire jack or shiznit at the Falcon but at least they can make it harder to hit and avoid the obvious kick.  If they can only fire or withdraw then the LRM carrier that wasn't engaged...0329 will withdraw off the board.

I dont believe anyone has spotted the dropship for them, so they cant fire.

You may target any hex with the TAG for them to fire on (that is not protected by EW), but any live target in the hex will have a turn to get out of the hex before the missiles land.

The LRM carriers can withdraw if they're not engaged.

Only one of the LRM carriers is engaged. (took damage)

Can they otherwise move though or does the engaged LRM carrier simply have to sit there like a dunce and take it?

They can move south, they cant advance forward towards the dropship.

If they move it's to leave the map, not to move out in the open to be shot up.

They're there for bombardment fire support, not direct fire support.

So does that mean they need to simply stay behind XX28 and they can move east-west as well or literally only south?

Or is it literally is only south in their respective column?

Also quirky question, cause you know I ask them.

If Einar walks forward into the water and then drops prone, obviously he's out of sight as he is underwater.

That also puts him close enough to spot for the LRM carriers and fire his lasers at the base of the dropship.  Right?

Just want to make sure before I do it and then you say nope no work-o buck-o.

East and west are steep canyon walls nothing short of violence goes that way.. and only if they're like level 10

Lrm carriers cannot move closer to the dropship.

Lrm carriers follow disengagement rules as normal.

That should about cover it

Underwater combat rules in effect as well as firing from prone rules.

A mech could still walk over and kick you.

Dropship after guns could technically fire on you.

They were not included cause I didnot think any one would be silly enough to try and attackeep from under the ship

'Cept I'm not attacking the Aft I'd still be attacking that side of the dropship cause I wouldn't be under the dropship right?  I could destroy heat sinks but not weapons cause all of those are above the water line.

Enemy mechs have already moved so they wouldn't be kicking me this round, but could walk over next round if they wanted and make me leave sure.

Okay.

Per total warfare...

If you're in level one water, and you go prone, you're considered submerged and out of sight, as if you were in level 2 water.

If youre in level 2 water you can fire or be fired upon unless you are both under water.

Only Lasers, PPCs, and Torpedos can be used in an underwater attack.

Lasers are at a reduced range.
Range on your ER Medium is 3/5/8

Per Kitten...

Damage will be reduced per the mission notes on energy damage doing less damage.  Damage will be done to a 'random' facing, more or less.

The Union Dropship 'aft' guns are under water and will get to fire back on you.
For the purposes of underwater combat, it has a Large and two Medium Lasers to engage underwater targets with.
Range on Large is   3/6/9
Range on Medium is  2/4/6

Alrighty I guess that is what I really needed to know.  Benefit/Risk assessment.  Thank you Kitten I will find you some extra cookies :)

Weekend over... Would like to see some turns get put in today... tomorrow...?

Even if youre not doing something, just note 'no shot' so i know that you're not doing anything when i do a head count.

no idea on Pike 2 def mod and ew bonuses. Taking a shot at it if close will post for updated idea on a hit. Believe it is a 12+ For my large.

Pike 2 vs You

Base 5 + Walk 1 + Range 3 + Woods 1 + ICE 2 + Head Hit 1 + Mist 1 = TN14+

Home in 10 hours, will post tonight if no one has done so already.

I can wait for you to get home for your turns.
