ORANGE!! WHERE ARE YOU?

 

[Azira]

Oi. The private planning and plotting thread had only seen one reply to my proposed plan, and I promptly forgot to post the actual orders after that. Problem rectified by now.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Orange, your delay has only bought you a few more days of life. Was it truly worth your pride?

 

[Azira]

Big talk there. Let's see if you live to regret that.

Round 6 Movement (like ebb and flow)

After only one round of dancing the Mongoose and Wolverine disengage in completely different directions while the Charger moves in to intercept the Wolverine. Not much movement from the Archer and Centurion (no orders = no movement) to steady their aim. The rest of lance Orange closes the distance as careful as they can.

Here are your shooting modifiers:

Lance Cyan:

Charger (+2, ran)
Annihilator (16 hexes) out of range
Wolverine (11 hexes) out of range
Hatchetman (11 hexes) out of range

Jenner (15 hexes) +5 (+2 target movement, +1 target jumped, +1 intervening light woods, +1 target in light woods)

Centurion (+0, no movement)
Annihilator (20 hexes) +1 (target in light woods)
Wolverine (17 hexes) no LoS
Hatchetman (16 hexes) +4 (+1 target movement, +1 target jumped, +1 intervening light woods, +1 target in light woods)
Jenner (19 hexes) +5 (+2 target movement, +1 target jumped, +1 intervening light woods, +1 target in light woods)

[Country_Gravy]

So what's going on?

 

[Azira]

Well, to be fair, we didn't post firing orders. Then again, we did not do so, because none from our lance could actually hit the enemy, so we found it redundant. If that was not the case, I have specified the non-orders now.

Round 6 Fire (putting the miss in missile)

The Annihilator remains the easiest target and again draws the fire from lance Cyan, none of the 30 missiles coming his way reach their target though.

Weapons fire for Archer ARC-2R (Cyan)
LRM 20 at Annihilator ANH-1A (Orange); needs 10, rolls 3 : misses.

Checking for accidental fire; needs 3 or below, rolls 5 : no fire..


Weapons fire for Centurion CN9-AH (Cyan)
LRM 10 at Annihilator ANH-1A (Orange); needs 9, rolls 6 : misses.

Checking for accidental fire; needs 3 or below, rolls 8 : no fire..

Firing only one LRM rack the Archer cools down and no longer has a movement penaly. Neither does the Wolverine (obviously).

Annihilator ANH-1A (Orange) gains 2 heat, sinks 2 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Charger CGR-1A5 (Cyan) gains 2 heat, sinks 2 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Archer ARC-2R (Cyan) gains 7 heat, sinks 10 heat and is now at 2 heat.
Centurion CN9-AH (Cyan) gains 4 heat, sinks 4 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Mongoose MON-67 (Cyan) gains 2 heat, sinks 4 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Wolverine WVR-6K (Orange) gains 2 heat, sinks 7 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Hatchetman HCT-3F (Orange) gains 4 heat, sinks 4 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Jenner JR7-F (Orange) gains 5 heat, sinks 5 heat and is now at 0 heat.


In case someone wants to start a fire I will post wind from now on.

Wind direction is South. Wind strength is Calm.

 

[good little toastboy]

Oh and the Hatchetman had the Archer on a 12 and you might have wanted to start fires, therefore always post orders even if (you think) you can't hit a mech.

 

[Azira]

Ah well, c'est la vie.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The Annihilator remains the easiest target and again draws the fire from lance Cyan, none of the 30 missiles coming his way reach their target though.

 

[Azira]

Just wait until the Hatchetman fires again.

 

[Computer Gamer Refugee]

Just wait until the Hatchetman fires again.

Yeah, we can't have just our team missing, bazinga

Round 7 Movement (Tales of a Popamole Wolverine)

While Orange keeps shuffling their mechs around and the Wolverine oiling his gears of war, it looks like the Mongoose tries to get around Orange's right flank. The Charger changes his course as there is no Wolverine to intercept and moves to enjoy partial cover from the small hills on the central plateau. Again we are only one turn away from the shorter ranged mechs getting to use their guns.

Thanks for not commenting on my alcohol problem colour mixup last time.

[Hellraiser]

Orange bringing in the decline with their

Tsk tsk.

 

[Azira]

 

[Computer Gamer Refugee]

Can you go over the rules for shooting over woods? I.e. how much cover do mechs get from the archer on the hill?

 

[Computer Gamer Refugee]

Also, if the Wolverine had not been such a pansy, he could have had a great shot on the charger. Ah well.

 

[Hellraiser]

Well he is a popamole wolverine

 

[good little toastboy]

If the LoS goes through a wood hex it only counts as intervening, if it's adjacent to the mech firing or fired at in this case.

Round 7 Fire (this map is now on fire)

This is getting really bad for lance Cyan. Once again no hits with the LRMs. At least the Charger and Mongoose manage to start fires. The Hatchetman tries to get another lucky shot in but this time he also fails to hit.

Medium Laser at Hex: 1716 (Ignite); needs 6, rolls 8 : hits!
Needs 7 [7 (Medium Laser)] to ignite, rolls 9
