OOC chatter

Yeah, Zeke and Coughlin have both been kicking ass. Volkov got his laser shot off so soon, he wasn't able to do much. Hopefully, Spectre can get that thing reattached.

Lets hope I'll have a functioning laser again soon. Because I turned into a kick boxer mech after that was out that would launch missiles before closing in to kick or punch.

Hey, don't knock kicking. That's actually a great tactic (Well, as long as you don't miss and then fail the piloting roll).

Quite true. All depends on our skills (or in this case the results of a roller app.)

Ok things are about to get FUN!

The last 2 dust ups were for you guys to cut your teeth and get back into the feel of battletech combat. Going forward it is going to get more and more epic.

With this next scenerio you will be accompanied by the Fusiliers recon lance

Lt Dan Orloff – Commando - regular (F1) (4/4)
Sgt – Roy Brownlee – Stinger - green (F2) (5/5)
Pvt – John Armbuster – stinger -green (F3) (5/5)
Pvt – Shawn White - firestarter - green (F4) (5/5)

the numbers in () are the gunnery/piloting target numbers

I can't NPC mechs on your side and the enemy at the same time (would be like playing chess against yourself)

So I am going to need you guys to be the pilots of the fusiliers. you have to play them as if they were your own mechs so no making them do something unreasonable or suicidal just to help a PC. They are 100% up for teamwork and have no tension with your unit.

It is up to you guys on who controls what. If youwant to have everyone take 1 npc mech fine with me

I know Diamond and greywolf can't be on as often so if they don;t want the responsibility of having a 2nd mech to command then that's fine also, buck and fireball could split them up of 1 person take all of them i am ok with whatever you guys choose.

[BuckshotChuck]

I'll take whichever others don't want to run. Occasionally I have days filled with meetings, but most days I can get on for a few minutes at various times throughout the day.

[Recklessfireball]

It really depends on whether or not Greywolf and Diamondspear think they can handle the posts.

If yes, I'd say we just assign 'Mechs according to rank...
Orloff/Harlow
Volkov/Brownlee
Armbuster/Doughty
White/Coughlan

If no, then I can control Orloff and Brownlee and Buckshot Chuck can control Armbuster and White.

As an aside, Lt. Dan needs two cybernetic replacement legs. Also, if either Armbuster or White get waxed, you need to add a Pvt. Gump to the roster.

[GreyWolfVT]

depends on how frequently posting is there are at least 3 work days that I share an office so I can't as easily "sneak" on here to post. Where as today and tomorrow I'm good to post at work and at home. I have no problems taking one but know that you guys might as well decide where to move me and have my attack rolls done for me on those 3 days during the week, they change as the other guys schedule does so next week Tue-Thur share office less posting from me.

Side bar: is it weird that I can hear my character talking with a russian accent when i post?

No because I do to, I always hear dolph lungren in rocky 3

[wolfpack]

How about we do this.

assign each of you a mech

Orloff/Harlow
Volkov/Brownlee
Armbuster/Doughty
White/Coughlan

and if we get to a point where the game is stalled waiting for movement for whatever reason anyone of the PC's can feel free to move a fusilier mech who has not moved yet.

[BuckshotChuck]

Sounds like that could work. I would suggest a caveat that you need to have moved both your own controlled mech's before moving someone else's assigned Fusilier. I think that would help stretch the time a bit for those that may not be able to post as frequently.

agreed

[Recklessfireball]

Sounds like a plan.

[GreyWolfVT]

works for me.

No because I do to, I always hear dolph lungren in rocky 3

But that was a Swedish actor

Hans "Dolph" Lundgren is a Swedish actor

[wolfpack]

Yeah but it's still how I hear him talking

"you will lose"

[GreyWolfVT]

How about hearing Mickey Rourke from Iron Man 2? For some reason that's what I hear. Ivan Vanko.

Everyone add 4 more SP.

FYI Zeke has been punching above his weight, i was thinking his mech gunnery target was 5 but it is 6

Diamond_spear you still need to add your skill points to your sheet. If you are having trouble doing an edit let me know I will add them just tell me where you want the 6 skill points to go.

I’m thinking gunnery since I’ve been doing so much of it.

Agreed. And actually I can post through the day, it’s just rolling my own dice that is a problem unless I’m at home.

[wolfpack]

with that settled I will assume it is ok to move on to the next scene

[GreyWolfVT]

yeah unless there is some information the LT needs to share with us I think we can move along.
