It would make the most sense for Dagger and Orloff to move last since my Pixie and Orloff's Commando have the most damaging weapons.

Greywolf, move Ivan into the light woods at hex 1507, facing hex 07. It'll put you in good positioning for next turn and keep you out of the line of fire.

Could also do it this way...


yes I missed the move for P4, but that does not put f4 in 0316

I meant E1, sorry. Hard to keep track of the enemy/ally designations. But, yeah- the same applies (more or less) to the Hermes.

E4 is now the more immediate threat that you have to deal with. If you try to run past to assault the snipers, he'll get behind you and shoot the hell out of you with that large laser. He's wanting to tie you up so the snipers can keep taking pot shots at you (a pretty good plan, really) which is wh...

OOC: Well, this is going well so far. :P Grinding his teeth at the toll the enemy unit was taking on their forces, Gene forces himself to remain calm and brings the Harmon large laser to bear on the Hermes in the light woods at 0907. Orloff supports his attack with a shot from his medium laser and ...

F4 2 ML at P1
P4 ML and SRM2 at P1

White and Zeke both shot at me? Mutiny!

Yeah, the dice rolls can screw you sometimes, regardless. There are some things you can do to improve chances of winning, though. Basic things are: 1) Try to combine fire on the same mech. Focus on the same target and take it down as quickly as possible. Attack modifiers may prohibit this, sometimes...

Probably. I am, however, trying to make sure I keep Zeke’s relative lack of experience in mind as I move. Also, I’m pretty rusty so I’m sure I’m missing things that I’d catch if I’d played more recently. :) Eh, I posted the warning too late anyway; Zeke and White had already moved. :P Orloff moves ...

OOC: Be careful when you move, guys. He's going to initiative sink with E2 and E3, moving the two mechs on the ground last. And since we lost initiative this round, that makes it particularly tricky. I want to move Orloff and my mech last, so I can have the best possible positioning to bring our he...

Yeah, with light autocannons, LRM's and PPC's, you do one of two things: Move fast and stay at Long range or further from their weapons OR move fast and run in close, up under the minimum range. The last option can be tricky when fighting mediums and heavies in lights, because if you get too close t...

Gene chuckles. "Sorry, Brownlee. Got my target interlock circuits crossed, there."

That would work if they were enfilading; the bit of hill in front of them would cover the mech from the waist down. But otherwise, no.

No. It doesn't block line of sight to the head/arms/torso.

Gene thumbs his comm and says, "Coughlin, Doughty, Armbuster and White: It looks like that Pixie is moving to engage you. See if you can draw it out into that open patch of ground, between those four copses of trees, and envelop and surround it. Try to keep it outside or, at least, within long ...

Tactics [2d6] = 11
EDIT: Sorry. Disregard. I misread your Notes about initiative.

In BattleTech, it's really not much of an advantage, unless you're in cover (inside a building or a heavy woods hex). True, you can look over intervening terrain (woods and low hills) to sight your target. But, in BattleTech, movement is life. If they sit and shoot, they'll have a couple of rounds o...

"Relax boys," says Gene. "They're just finding the range. Let 'em burn the ammo. And don't let those sniper get you too rattled; they're exposed on the top of that ridge and if they want to snipe, they can't move around. That'll make them easy targets. Just keep moving and don't slow...

Gotcha
