Let's Play Together: GM'd Battletech via Megamek VI

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Fri Aug 03, 2018 5:22 pm

November 13, 3034
Alpha-One is instructed by the assigned CO (driving a Shadow Hawk 2H) to harass an enemy mech column moving on landing zone C. It's two lances of medium mechs - Wolverines, Griffins, Vulcans, a Phoenix Hawk. They've also brought a lance of heavy tanks for support. The tanks include LRM Carriers, which fall behind a bit. Letting the mechs pass, Alpha-One pounces, engaging the opfor tanks. Beta-One and Gamma-One report that they will be arriving to block the north end of the battlefield within a minute, but there's an enemy assault lance with a lighter screening element closing in, presumably to try to spring this force loose.

Spoiler:

Alpha-One deploys immediately, within three hexes of the east edge.
Beta-One and Gamma-One will arrive on turns 5 and 6 respectively, deploying within three hexes of the west edge. Each player *should* have four mechs (by the time everyone shows up, anyway).
Additional enemy reinforcements will arrive on turn 8, deploying within three hexes of the west edge.

Decide who controls what, and then make your deployment decisions.

The objective is to prevent at least 50% of the enemy units currently deployed from crossing the west edge of the map.

Rules refresher:

Target at weapon's
short range: +0
medium range: +2
long range: +4
minimum range: (minimum weapon range - range to target + 1)
e.g. if you're firing a PPC at something 3 hexes away, the to-hit modifier is 3 - 3 + 1

Modifiers for "to-hit" target numbers:
You walked: +1
You ran: +2
You jumped: +3

Target moved:
3-4 spaces: +1
5-6 spaces: +2
7-10 spaces: +3
11-14 spaces: +4
15+ spaces: +5 (there are higher mods, but nobody goes that fast in this scenario)

"Woods" between you and your target (not including your hex):
+1 per light woods
+2 per heavy woods

Changing elevations costs +1 MP per level difference. Maxim level change for mechs is 2.
Backing up over elevation change requires a PSR.
Entering water costs +1 MP (+1 for the elevation change) and requires a PSR at -1. Also, you may not use running MP to enter a water hex.
Entering light woods costs +1MP
Entering heavy woods costs +2MP

if you get a +3 or more modifier from woods on the target, LOS is blocked and you can't shoot at all.
As usual, the opfor loses initiative entirely, so they move then you move.

6817 facing NW as well.

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Mon Aug 06, 2018 9:20 pm

Turn 1:
The lighter enemy mechs make a break for it, while the tanks appear resigned to acting as a screening force. The medium mechs move a little slowly to keep a firing angle.

Spoiler:

[Mechanical notes]
All tanks have a +2 movement modifier, except for the eastern LRM Carrier, which has a +1.
All the mechs have a +3 movement modifier, except for the Assassin, which has a +4.
Since nobody appears to want to control the attached CO, I've deployed him as well.

Move to 6014. Fire on lrm carrier 2 and lrms at manticore

What is the penalty for shooting at a secondary target?

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:08 am

6512 facing SW, fire at 6011.

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:08 am

For your guy in the Rifleman, nothing due to the 'multi-tasker' skill. In the general case, +1.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:17 am

Ok, I'll move the Rifleman to 6513, and then fire everything on LRM carrier 1

Target: 2 (gunnery) + 1 (walking) + 1 (target movement) + 0 (short range) = 4 for the AC/10s, and 6 for the medium lasers (medium range).

Move the Warhammer to 6512, and then fire one PPC, the SRM6, and one medium laser on the LRM Carrier 1.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:41 pm

I can't remember, can you fire through nearby friendlies? If so I could move the Warhammer to 6612 instead. Probably fire both PPCs at the Manticore instead, since the LRM carrier seems to be getting enough fire.

Edit: assuming that Isgrimnur would go to 6512 and fire at LRM#1 as originally planned.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:43 pm

If I can't fire through friendlies there, then I'll walk to 6712 and fire both PPCs at the Manticore.

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:43 pm

You can fire through friendlies no problem. You would wind up taking the +2 penalty for firing through heavy woods, however.

Ok, I'll do that then. And yeah, there's the woods penalty, but I'll be walking instead of running, so a net +1 overall.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:51 pm

Back to 6512, then.

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 1:03 pm

Round 1:
Stefan can't quite push his mech far enough, reaching only within 30 meters of his desired position (6014 costs 10 MP, you have 8).

Gbasden, Isgrimnur and El Guapo eventually sort out who's going into the heavy woods and who's not.

The attached CO moves forward at maximum speed, looking to get into the LRM Carrier's minimum range.

Gbasden ducks most of the LRM Carrier's salvo, taking some missiles across the legs, but the incoming fire does cause him to miss the PPC shots on the Manticore. El Guapo opens up on the LRM Carrier, the dual AC/10s removing the treads and wheels from the right side of the vehicle. Isgrimnur then polishes it off with a burst from his AC/10. Everyone breathes a little bit easier with sixty less LRM tubes aimed our way.

Stefan and the attached CO successfully avoid the rest of the incoming fire and Stefan scores several medium laser hits on his target LRM Carrier's left side, but fails to breach armor.

Raw data:

Spoiler:

Battlefield state:

Spoiler:

The enemy mechs make very little pretense at continuing to engage, while the Manticore and Vedette leave the remaining LRM Carrier high and dry.

[details]
LRM Carrier movement mod is 0
Manticore movement mod is 2
Vedette and everyone else's movement mod is 3

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 1:10 pm

6009, target the Manticore.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 1:14 pm

Rifleman will go forward 2, turn, and then forward 3, ending up in 6013. Fire both AC/10s and one medium laser at LRM Carrier #2.

The Warhammer was supposed to go to 6612 before. Anyway, he'll go there now, and fire one PPC at LRM Carrier #2.

Stefan Stirzaker · Post by **Stefan Stirzaker** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 5:10 pm

5310 fire at vedette but hold srms

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 8:32 pm

Round 2:
Stefan briefly considers firing at the Vedette, but the odds of hitting are minimal, so he engages the Manticore instead (12+ with the laser). He barely ducks an AC/2 shot that would have gone to the head, the effort causing him to miss his laser shots. The attached CO fires his assorted weapons at the Manticore as well, blowing chunks off the treads.

Isgrimnur takes his turn dodging sixty-packs of LRMs, with only twelve impacting the mech.

El Guapo holds his medium laser to avoid overheating the Rifleman (heat would have gone to 15, not the best in a scenario where you need to pursue the opposition). Despite this, the autocannons cut the LRM Carrier in half, while Gbasden's shot goes wide.

Raw data:

Spoiler:

Battlefield state:

Spoiler:

The Manticore, slowed down, resigns itself to playing screener.

[details]
Every enemy unit has a +3 movement mod, except the Manticore, which has a +2.

A reminder that, if you need to, you can "sprint", moving at 2x your walking MP, but foregoing the opportunity to make attacks and making yourself easier to hit.

Didnt know that. Can i get to woods at 3607?

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:01 pm

3607 is about a little over two turns away sprinting (you'd be moving 10 hexes per turn).
4606 is just within your movement range if you run normally (8MP).

You mean I would have gone to 5 heat, right?

What's 5 heat again? -1 movement?

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 12:21 am

Rifleman will turn and run to 5511, and fire the AC/10s at the Manticore.

Warhammer will turn and sprint to 6009. Heavy woods is +2 movement, right? If it's only +1 then I'll move to 5909.

NickAragua · Post by **NickAragua** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 12:30 am

Right, heat after the heat sinks do their thing would have been 5, which is -1 movement.

Heavy woods are +2MP to move through.

Ahh sorry thought it was double the 8 not 5

4606 then fire at manticore

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 9:41 am

I'm confused about something. Our reinforcements are coming from the west. So why would it matter if an enemy unit reached the western edge of the board in turns 3 or 4 (or 5)? They wouldn't escape, they'd just be running into our reinforcements.
