Round 6 Movement (oak trees engaged)

It has actually happened. The Dragon and Thunderbolt got into melee range, ready to smash trees in their opponent's cockpit. Meanwhile the Archer craftily sneaks into minimum range of his LRMs and is ready to unleash them on the Guillotine, who remains motionless. The Stalker moves around some of the Archer's cover and again is the only mech who has everyone in his sights.

Actually I don't have firing orders from tindrli, I gather from the picture that he wants to use his club. Don't know what he wants to do with his torso mounted two med lasers and SRM6, though.

Hopefully I can write an update this evening or tomorrow morning.

Round 6 Fire (I don't want to be a Dragon)

The tides may have turned in the west as the Stalker leaves the Archer and Guillotine to themselves. The Archer has carefully positioned himself at the 7 hex sweetspot, which is optimal for his LRMs but 1 hex into medium/long range of the Guillotine. Thus he scores the only hits with one LRM while the Guillotine misses every single shot. The Dragon easily evades the Stalker's laser, which scorch only the trees but the Thunderbolt scores some good hits on his left leg, whose right arm gets hit yet again and the armour is about to give in.
The Dragon is the first to strike with his mighty club but barely misses. Expecting a swing from the Thunderbolt's club the Dragon is caught off-guard by a kick to his left leg. What is left of the armour gets annihilated and two actuators get crushed by the mighty hit, sending the Dragon down on his back.

Heat levels have increased quite a bit:

Thunderbolt TDR-5SE (Azira) gains 23 heat, sinks 17 heat and is now at 10 heat.
Archer ARC-2S (Deuce) gains 12 heat, sinks 10 heat and is now at 2 heat.
Stalker STK-4P (rashiakas) gains 17 heat, sinks 18 heat and is now at 0 heat.
Dragon DRG-1S-UK (tindrli) gains 11 heat, sinks 13 heat and is now at 10 heat.
Guillotine GLT-4P (eklektyk) gains 26 heat, sinks 22 heat and is now at 12 heat.

Heavy penalties for the Thunderbolt, Dragon and Guillotine.
The Thunderbolt has his movement reduced to 2/4/4, the Dragon to 1/2 (-2 due to the actuator damage, -2 from the heat) and the Guillotine is also at 2/4/4.
All three mechs get a +1 modifier to their shots.

Here's the current map. To get up the Dragon needs a 7+, as he is only 1/2 right now he only gets one chance this round. He can choose to face in whichever direction he wants if he wants to get up, or change facing one hexside to the right or left if he chooses to stay prone.

Round 7 Movement (kicking a man while he's down)

No movement from the Archer, he is obviously satisfied sitting at his optimal range as his odds will show. The Guillotine only changed facing and has to expect taking some heavy hits, while only being able to fire his PPC as all his other weapons are out of range of the Stalker or need a 13+ to hit the Archer, which is obviously impssible with only two dice. On the other side of the map the Thunderbolt kept close to the Dragon, who chose to stay put guaranteeing him some retaliating fire. The Stalker climbed the tall hill to get clearer shots at the Thunderbolt and Dragon. Here the Dragon's decision to stay prone pays off as it gives him additional protection from the Stalker. Not sure he will like the 5+ shots and kick from the Thunderbolt though.

As the Dragon chose to stay prone the only melee option for the Thunderbolt is a kick. 3+ to hit!
