Black Market Auction House

Auction house is now closed.

Purchased made are mostly endorsed (unless there is a problem with math somewhere.)

As a new years bonus, everyone will have the engineers in the motorpool drive off with a flatbed truck for their unit to use.

There was zero intel on the mechwarrior, so all things being equal, selection was going to have to be made on the rides they piloted.

The Pussy Cats were a quick unit.

Having a recruit that could keep up and absorb the attention that comes from a mission was a good thing.  The fact that it was reknown for it's command functions only made the mech more attractive.

A fingernail glossed in purple polish taps on the  Phoenix Hawk as her first round draft pick.  The Liason Officer took notice of the selection and acknowledged the selection.

Candice looking over the available options was originally going to take the WhitWorth, but changes her mind at the last minute to the LRM carrier.

Thaddeus nodded to himself mostly as he perused the selections. After a moment, he turned in the slip with the designation Commando-2D.

It was a good opportunity...

Penny taps on the Dragon, picking up the mech would make it the largest mech in her unit.  It was large... but quick for it's size, and reputed for being a solid block of armor.  The perfect damage magnet.

Sure... we weren't suppose to use them as Meat Shields, but sometimes Green mechwarriors wander into places they shouldn't and that should help keep them alive.

She look at Candice's pick and nods.  It was quick and would help cover her nimble forward observer needs.  There were worse things to draft.

Penny picks out the warrior VTOL.  The Pussy Cats were overdue selecting some decent conventional support.

Re: Black Market Auction House

As it looks like i'm picking up vehicles, might as well bring the pain.  Demolisher it is


  Also lucky for you new recruits, we have training... daily...mandatory... until you can hit the broad side of a barn.




also means 1 points spent on both vehicles to upgrade them to 5 base at least.

Of the bugs, the Locust looked the best.  It would as a fair wingman for Savannah who could tech them the finer points of piloting the scout mech.
