Let's Play Together: GM'd Battletech via MegaMek XII

[El Guapo]

Also from 3021, can I hit the Loki in 2731, or is the hill in 2730 blocking LOS?

I think the answer is yes. From what I posted above (tucked in the middle there):

Mech standing directly behind partial cover (level 1 hill, level 1 building) from attacker on the same level: +1, leg hits negated

There may be a negative for the elevation change, but there is only one level of elevation between you. So you should be able to hit, but any leg hits will not get counted. That's my read, anyway.

Yeah the level 1 hill doesn't impede anything, but if the 2730 level 2 hill is in the way then it would. But my view of it is that it probably doesn't.

Marauder to 3021, or 3022 if necessary to hit the Loki. Shoot at the 2731 Loki.
Kurita Awesome to 2814, and shoot at Man O War.
'splodify the Marauder decoy.

[TheMix]

The highlighting in the images gets me again. When it's highlighting an area for the selected mech, the woods become very faint. I didn't even notice them. Whoopsie!

[NickAragua]

I didn’t know my Warhammer decoy was still around! It looks banged up but does it have any ordinance left? And can it move into the water with the intent of either eventually engaging a mech west of the river or drawing fire to attract attention away from TheMix?

Nope, no guns left. It's currently "crippled" and being ignored by the clanners. And in order to operate it, you'll need to get one of the other Kurita guys to move it, which is probably not happening. But if you want, you can take control of one of the other Kurita units (Thunderbolt, Wolverine, Shadow Hawk, Wolf Trap, Marauder) starting next turn.

[TheMix]

The Vulture LRMs have the same range brackets as regular LRMs (7/14/21) but no minimum range. Their large pulse lasers are 6/14/20 while their medium pulse lasers are 4/8/12.

So, basically, they can hit me anywhere. My best bet then is to jump and land in heavy woods? That would give me the best modifiers (2+2?), right?

If I jump to to 2116, for example, the Vulture at 1212 would have no LOS, but the one on the hill would still be able to attack, just with the +4?

It would position me to be able to jump back to "our" side of the river next turn.

I'm open to advice, but right now it seems like the wiser move is to pull back instead of extending myself further. Even if it means I forego an attack. We need numbers and a united front. So we need to get the front lines and the back lines closer together. No?

Also, damn. The ranges on those large pulse lasers really means they aren't ever leaving those hills.

[TotallyNotEvil]

Kurita Awesome to 2814, and shoot at Man O War.
'splodify the Marauder decoy.

Far as I recall, we ignore our allies when it comes to shooting through (don't we?). You could go to 3123 with 6 moves exactly (back, turn left x2, forward x2, turn right), and avoid all the woods between you and the Loki.

Unless there are risks in shooting on the same lane?

I don't think I have enough movement to get to 3123, since I'm at -1 movement due to heat.

[TotallyNotEvil]

Damn, didn't see the heat penalty.

Also, damn. The ranges on those large pulse lasers really means they aren't ever leaving those hills.

You still need to move a number of squares for the jump to give you maximum to-hit mod.

What about 2414 and indirect firing your LRMs at the 1509 Mad Cat, using the Kurita Wolvie or Wolf Trap as a spotter?

[El Guapo]

I did miss the woods between me and the Loki, though, since they're partially obscured by the way those tiles are highlighted. So I'll amend my move to say that if there's a square that I can get to that minimizes the forest to hit penalty for shooting at the Loki, I'll do that as long as I'm not exposed to fire from the north.

[TheMix]

Damn, didn't see the heat penalty.

From the notes, the maximum is the same as the minimum, +1. No? So as long as I jump at least one hex, I get the modifier.

Does jumping discount the additional costs of terrain? i.e. if I jump, I can move 4, regardless of what's in my landing area (so I don't need 5 move to land in woods)?

I'm not versed in indirect fire. If I can do that, I'm all for it. If I can at least get out of medium range for the lasers, it might make them have to move more into the open. Also, by pulling back, I can possibly help focus on the ones that are in the middle. And if we can take those, maybe we can start pushing as a group.

[moleymoleymoley]

That Loki pilot has a tremendous name

[NickAragua]

Yeah, jumping is just 1 MP 1 hex, which is why it's so good.

[moleymoleymoley]

It's foolhardy but I'm tempted to chase the mad cat, to fire into its rear arc, and expose myself to a salvo from the Loki in the process. I don't think there will be another opportunity to exploit the damage I've already done to its rear.

[moleymoleymoley]

jump to 2233 facing north and fire everything at the mad cat

Will it's legs be protected by the hill?

[El Guapo]

Damn, didn't see the heat penalty.

No. For enemies shooting at you, their to hit penalty is based on the number of hexes that you moved (regardless of how you moved). I believe it's a -1 penalty for every two hexes starting with the third hex moved.

When you jump you also get a to hit penalty. That penalty is the same regardless of the number of hexes that you move.

[TheMix]

It's foolhardy but I'm tempted to chase the mad cat, to fire into its rear arc, and expose myself to a salvo from the Loki in the process. I don't think there will be another opportunity to exploit the damage I've already done to its rear.

You might not be too bad off. Definitely safer than what I did. The Loki will be a concern, but if you can get turned enough that it's not a direct shot to the back, you may come out okay. The Loki may end up being too pre-occupied with the threats to the east to maximize.

[TheMix]

Damn, didn't see the heat penalty.

Right. Regardless of how many squares. I was responding to "You still need to move a number of squares for the jump to give you maximum to-hit mod." As long as I jump at least one square, I get the modifier. Though apparently the modifier would just have been 2+1 since I was only looking at jumping one hex into heavy woods.

But that's become moot since I'm not leaning towards jumping back across the river.

But if you want, you can take control of one of the other Kurita units (Thunderbolt, Wolverine, Shadow Hawk, Wolf Trap, Marauder) starting next turn.

Ahh good point! I guess my guy was able to punch out okay but it’s a little much to ask him to take control of the drone while trying not to get stepped on or fried by a stray energy weapon

I might take you up on controlling another Kurita mech next turn.

[NickAragua]

jump to 2233 facing north and fire everything at the mad cat

Will it's legs be protected by the hill?

Nope. You're gonna heat up quite a bit, though and those LRMs don't have too good odds.

What I've got so far, just waiting on Isgrimnur:

El Guapo: Detonate decoy, Marauder to 3021/3022, @Loki 2731, avoid LOS from north; Awesome to 2814 @Man-O-War
WestOrEast: Phoenix Hawk pursue @Man O' War; Hatamoto-Hi west @Loki
Siljanus: Mackie 2824 @Ryoken 1730
TheMix: Kurita Crusader @Ryoken 3404 maximize hit odds

TotallyNotEvil: Lich to 3427, ERML @Loki 2731; Archer LRMx1 @Man-O-War
Moley: T-Bolt to 2233 N and fire @ mad cat

[TheMix]

Crusader "THEMIX" > jump to 2414; indirect LRM at best target (Mad Cat 1509?)

[El Guapo]

I just noticed that TotallyNotEvil is piloting a Lich. He's definitely 100% evil.

Also, I still have like a dozen shots of LRM, so I will toss it against the Loki alonside the ERMLs. Better make sure it's dead.

Ah ok, leave the LRMs out then

[NickAragua]

Wait, aren't we missing Stephan?

He's been AFK for a while, so I've been driving his mech and piling on to other people's targets.

[TheMix]

In case it isn't clear, I won't be the least bit offended if the all seeing game master overrules a stupid action.

[TotallyNotEvil]

Wait, aren't we missing Stephan?

He's been AFK for a while, so I've been driving his mech and piling on to other people's targets.

He's on a Trebuchet, so maybe he should fall back, get within 7-8 on the rear arc of the Loki then. Looking now, he is hella fast at 6/9.

[NickAragua]

Moley's Thunderbolt beeps a lot as the mechwarrior jumps south and fires the Thunderbolt's lasers at the back of the retreating Mad Cat. A pair of lasers land, including one on the rear left torso of the mech, but no critical damage results. Return fire from the Ryoken to the northwest is not very effective either.

Isgrimnur jumps west to get the drop on the Nobori-Nin, as his decoy finally overcomes the severe battle damage and blows up, sending debris across the nearby Elemental squad that briefly squats down to fire SRMs at Siljanus' mech. Our mechwarrior is so enthralled watching the fireworks that he forgets to aim his SRMs or PPC properly, missing every shot. Either that or the vibration from getting pinged by an LBX autocannon slug and several laser pulses. To our mechwarriors dismay, a squad of battle armor troopers hops off the Black Hawk as it zips in, using the smoke from the fire it created to provide more visual protection for itself.

Siljanus' aim is shaken slightly but he still lands two PPC shots and a gauss slug on the target Ryoken, the gauss slug glancing at an awkward angle off the head.

WestOrEast joins in the party against the Loki, blasting a chunk off its left torso with a PPC shot. Stefan is unable to connect with the Trebuchet's LRMs or lasers as the clan mech tries to escape, but Lich glances some laser fire off the back of it, including all fifteen LRMs that he adds as an afterthought. Leraje fires his lasers at the escaping mech as well, sawing off its right arm, though not before Stefan takes a major center torso hit, losing almost all the armor there.

The long-suffering Man-O'-War loses its right torso to the Kurita Awesome's PPCs, staggering a little bit before returning fire with its SRM rack, a few lucky missiles blowing out two actuators in the Awesome's right arm, effectively putting that PPC out of action. As the mechwarrior is occupied, the Phoenix Hawk lands to the north of the assault mech (and also on the "wrong" side of the nearby Thor) firing lasers (and machineguns but those shots don't hit anything). One of the lasers clips the XL engine and the 80-ton mech shuts down, tumbling to the ground.

"Ha! What do we pay these mercs for?!" The mechwarrior comments.

The Thor itself engages the nearby Shadow Hawk with the PPC, stripping some armor off.

To the north, the Orion and Crusader engage the moving Ryoken, scoring multiple SRM hits on its back, but the medium mech proves elusive otherwise. Partially because the Daishi's mechwarrior finally figures out how to target a moving mech and delivers several hits to the Orion with lasers and autocannons. The Ryoken fires back at the Crusader, scoring a couple of laser hits on the heavy mech's left arm.

Meanwhile, the Kurita Marauder takes a beating, losing its right arm and its autocannon as well to fire from the Mad Cat and nearby elementals, having to drop to a knee.

TheMix takes a couple of pulse laser hits from the hill-top vulture, but the Crusader's armor holds up for now.

The less said about the physical attacks, the better.

[WestorEast]

My P. Hawk can turn and engage the Thor on 3015 if needed, or go after the Royken if we have enough force for the Thor.

As for my H-H, I'm thinking moving back to the hills to stay away from the Elementals and engaging the southern Royken

[TotallyNotEvil]

Damn, two glancing blows, but at least the LRMs I remembered at the last minute landed in full. Ok, Loki is out, Man-o-War is out, and the Ryoken took serious damage, even if it's only to armor. Sensational shooting from Siljannus, any virtually anything that goes to the head will destroy it. So close to a decaptation by gauss.

Damn Mad Cat kept a single point of armor on it's back, but it was a worthwhile gambit. 1932 should let you try again, 1831 should be Short Range for your LL.

Losing a PPC is less than great, but my archer is in the Thor's read arc. If either LRM connect, that could be it. Awesome can still melee it as to avoid rear shots.

Isgrimmur, I believe that 2420 keeps your rear out of the Thor and the Vultures, and nothing else should have a shot, while being in the rear of the Black Hawk.

[TheMix]

Seems like we keep losing ground. I hope we have enough units to pull this out, but it's not looking promising. At least not when we continually miss.

[TheMix]

So the only good roll I had was for a save that only needed a 3.

And despite jumping 4 spaces and landing in woods, the Vultures only needed 8s. And rolled a 10 and 12. Gonna be impossible to avoid shots like that. Everyone wasn't lying about their shooting skills.

So, their luck is going to change? Right? Right? Bueller?

[NickAragua]

A word of warning, the Loki will still shoot back, so don't just expose your back to it.

[TheMix]

A word of warning, the Loki will still shoot back, so don't just expose your back to it.

When fleeing? Will it stop moving away? And is it walking, then?

[TheMix]

Any thoughts on the Ryoken to the NE? It's essentially outdistanced the Crusader. But if the Crusader and the Orion turn back, they are going to be exposing their rears. The Archer could engage the Ryoken, but that probably isn't enough. Should the Orion pursue? I think the Crusader is out of that fight with the restricted movement.

[NickAragua]

A word of warning, the Loki will still shoot back, so don't just expose your back to it.

When fleeing? Will it stop moving away? And is it walking, then?

It will continue moving away ("forced withdrawal" rules mandate that you need to move at least 1 hex towards your 'home' edge, which is the west edge in the clan case). Given how badly he's beaten up, he's not going to be letting up on the "gas", either. It's just that Moley was in the way of the optimal move.

[TheMix]

Nick, is it a movement point per hex face? So with 3, would the Crusader-3R be able to back up to 2801 and then turn to face south? If it runs, would it be able to get to 2702 and be facing either south or southwest?

[TheMix]

The Thor hasn't moved yet? (It's the ace?)

[NickAragua]

The Thor hasn't moved yet? (It's the ace?)

Nick, is it a movement point per hex face? So with 3, would the Crusader-3R be able to back up to 2801 and then turn to face south? If it runs, would it be able to get to 2702 and be facing either south or southwest?

2801 south, yes; 2702, no.

The Thor has moved, no ace this turn.

Forgot to post target modifiers, will do so when I get the chance.

[Leraje]

BL-KNT >> 3925, face N, fire ErPPC and ErLL x2 @ Stormcrow 3806, Timberwolf 1727 or Huntsman 1825 depending on the most favourable firing solution.
ON1-K >> 3505 (?), fire @ Stormcrow 3806
