Right now, we are attempting to stop a bunch of terrorists from nicking a dirty bomb and using it do stuff. We've dealt with that so the mission is essentially complete, but right now we are trying to deal with the people who are left and maybe see about capturing the bugger who sold them that bomb in the first place.

Hacker here, sorry, can't really do that. I can disable them for a while, fuck with their lock on capabilities, but I can only control drones.

I /could/ make one of these VTOLs pretty much useless for a turn, but they can fall back on their drones to lock on.

Alright, Tragedy, I need you to take a step back. I'm going to hack his sensors, so if you move back, he'll lose his lock on you. Sounds good ?

Hey Command if they do a called shot on the engines of the volts what happens?

>>45888511
How does a called shot work and are all of our mechs set up with redline?

>>45888706
All mechs have red line.

Called shot applies a -2 to your roll. But allows you to target specific body parts so that if you crit then you can annihilate specific objects on the body. I think it might also increase pen chance for just that reason, but I'm not positive.

>>45888411
Just noticed that I can't reach VTOL 3. I'll get into position to attack North SAM or a VTOL.
Eisen can get close enough to get a lock on 3 which may draw fire towards him, he can take it.

Unlike, Honeypot who will probably take large amounts of deadly missiles from 1 and 2.

>>45888872

Eh, unlikely. 1 & 2 are probably going to focus their attention on Kail, Tragedy, "Alice" and the Wasps. 3, on the other hand, has a fine shot.

The very worst that could happen is three VTOLs firing on me.

Facing 4 would get me shot by both the drone and VTOL 3 for more damage
Facing 5 would permit the drone to come in and nail me.
Facing 6 seems safer as I doubt VTOL 2 can hit past my arc inside the warehouse.
Plus there's other units in the way on our side.
Admittedly, there's another drone that could swoop in and nail me while I face 6.

Keep in mind that these are stealthed recon drones and therefore not exactly the /most/ dangerous creatures on the planet.

((Thought you were on 2 HP for some reason.

Why can 3 shoot Kestrel through the warehouse? I was planing to use it as cover myself.

>>45896581
Those are probably Hunter Killer missiles, they can function without line of sight.

>>45896581
Many missiles have the indirect fire tag, and Vtols fly, so they can ignore certain degrees of cover (and are also targetable from more areas). Given that these missiles all seem to be guided, and that recon drone is giving the lock, that shot looks pretty reasonable. Try going inside and around a corner?

Longbow, Hammer and EMP missiles don't have indirect fire capability.
The VTOLs from our last sortie were equiped with Longbow missiles and Longbow missiles happen to deal 8 damage.

It can be a different kind of VTOL of course.

>>45896868
You may wish to check that damage again. I have a feeling these aren't longbows.

>>45896868
Yeah, given they were doing 8 damage at range 12 rather than 6 damage at range 15, it seems likely these VTOLS are armed with a specific kindof Mech Buster - slightly reduced range, but increased damage, likely with a increased chance of critical breaching.

Okay, since I just self diagnosed a severe case of dyscalculia, I recounted the tiles inbetween me and the SAM and it turned out that I can't go through the warehouse.

Can we get Eisen to Redline kill the spotter drone, so VTOL 3 will have to move to lock on?
The overwatch action wouldn't help much since VTOL 3 can shoot around corners but Eisen can't.

Sorry for wasteing everyone's time with that drivel

Okay I'm gonna step in since there a bunch of stuff that seems to be bugging people.

First, called shots have no effect on non-mech targets (unless it's relevant to the mission.) As they only have one pool of critical hit points. And no you don't get a penetration bonus unless you have marksman.

Secondly the VTOLs carry both Longbows, and a watered down HK missile. So yes they can do indirect fire.

>>45897359
Might not work. If 3 has a sensor pod (or similar) to let it lock without LoS, your move would put you in range, and maybe him. If you look at Vtol 2, it's locking Wasp A at 11 range, making its sensors better than the ones we fought before or Cognis miscounted, but I refuse to believe that.

Ok, I hope that all made sense, my sleepyness is at full right now.

>>45897359
Have you used your Redline, Gunman? If you kill the spotter drone instead, VTOL 3 will have to move into LoS of Eisen before locking on to any of us, triggering his Overwatch. And auto-hitting EMP missiles do nasty things to flyers.

>>45882944
Zenith

>>45897752
I allready used the RSO and I'm trying to shoot the SAM next turn.
The VTOL may not need LOS to lock on and even if it does, it doesn't need to get within 8 to do so.
If Eisen kills the drone and VTOL 3 doesn't need LOS I'll still take my (30-40%) chance to not get wrecked because I realy want us to get Irving.

Hopefully this will force to VTOL to either disengage the target lock, or move to fire, which should give you some breathing room Tragedy.

Not sure what kind of range the sensors have. Hopefully trying to move out of range will force a break.

Noo! Wasp A! Argh! At least it lived and died like every drone should, soaking heavy fire for its masters. I guess it's all I can really ask - sending in Wasp B to do the same. God, the repair bill for this mission is going to be enourmous.

Do it, take the shot. If we can get that SAM now, perhaps there's a chance the marines can intercept Irving before he entirely leaves.

>>45916464
If you're willing to risk it, Drone B and Alice's decoy might soak up a missile, and your lock originates from the cloaked recon drone next to the disabled Errant Alice rode in. If you move forward to shoot that drone, you can be within reach of the SAM turret and we might be able to get Irving if you destroy it next turn and Gunman gets the north one this go-around.

With only 1 VTOL left, there's a chance. But it might also cost you your mech.

I tried to sum up all the actions till now to help make decisions.
I wouldn't be me if didn't follow up with a tactical analysis that doesn't aprove of anyone's decisions though, so here' goes:

>>45917620
That drone was allready killed here >>45905653

>>45905643
IMHO Honey should kill 2 and Spare should move and Hack VTOL 1

>>45906605
There's nothing to overwatch, you should move to attack the northern SAM next turn.

>>45916464
>Cowardice
ishygddt

You could Attack the last Drone this turn, and lock on to the south SAM and share the lock to spare next turn so spare's drone can fire a missile at it.

Actually, let me draw another picture

Negative, Gunman old boy. Kail winged the drone, but not hard enough to drop it. And there's no dishonor in a tactical withdrawal, especially when your comrades have advised doing so repeatedly.
Also, a hack wouldn't render these enemies harmless.

Right. It's that time again.

Quick question. What are you using to make these maps, op? This could be useful for me for later things.

Don't make me laugh, Anon, I'm no good to anyone dead doing stupid shit. The VTOL is going to be very much active this phase and there's no cover left.
The idea here is to break the lock so I can get my ass back to work. I have no chaff and the magical tech sensors can't be disrupted by the building.

>>45920815
Oh, Gunman. Fuck you, Gunman.

>>45923010
I've been moved to 2 on the last leg but asked to move direction 4. It's probably a pain in the ass to redo it and post, so if you're okay with it, we can both agree that Revenant had move direction 4 and ended up by the doorway and go from there for the next phase?

Sorry about that oversight. It no longer matters.

I'm gonna rule that blast attacks that target ground units don't affect flying units and vice versa.

If you're targeting an empty hex make sure you specify whether you're using an air burst attack or not.

Another happy mission.

Well done Camels.

We did lose a frightening amount of material and hardware, but, hey, it was lost shutting down a dirty bomb and keeping it out of the hands of nationalist extremists with a vengeance. Plus, robbing them of a few trained soldiers and some heavier gear in the process was not a bad bargain. So with that I've sent the all clear to the IF Marines, who are taking over the harbour and handling things from here.
They pay well.
I imagine they're happy we didn't turn the harbor into so many battle scarred crater too.

I liked the team-work and coordination you displayed out there today. Nice job.

Labyrinth and Gasolina have been dimissed from the 3C due to being AWOL. Their Cred has been transfered to the company pool at the standard 5:1 rate and any mechs and items in their possession have been transferred to the Company Inventory.

As it stands there are 13 active members of the 3C. I have decided I can process 15 people without my brain melting.

If you miss 2 missions then you will be declared AWOL and suffer the same fate as Labyrinth and Gasolina. If you join then fail to show up for the first mission then you won't even be added to the spreadsheet. (I only add a pilot once they get their first payout.) Normally I wouldn't mind keeping your stats open indefinitely but other people want to play and if everybody makes a comeback at the same time my head will explode.))

Company Cred pool now stands at: 59 Cred.

Hey Chief, how does Counter-Attack function exactly?
Do I make the attacks at the start of the action phase or is it during the enemy phase?
Does count towards my weapons used per action?
Can I use the link property?

>>45926398

>Counter-attack occurs during the enemy phase. If an enemy attacks you within 6 hexes and one of your weapons are in range you will attack them back. This can happen up to two times per phase( with separate weapons). You can use linked weapons for this.
>Counter attacking does not limit the attacks you can declare in the player phase. If you counter attack using a weapon with slow reload then you can only counter attack once instead of twice and the weapon is automatically reloaded.

Gonna have to say that overwatch cancels out counter-attack. That's just too much stuff happening in the enemy phase. Besides Assault pilots should be attacking not standing back and waiting for the enemy.
