Tecmes Posted February 6 Clone Share Posted February 6 (edited) Obviously I didn't pay attention to the LOS rules regarding elevation, thought the Banshee was not able to fire on the Starslayer... Sorry Cirlot... Phoenix T5 move (edited) Jump to 2016, facing SW ( @Bobcloclimar I don't know if that's possible mid-game, but could you disable the option that shows the ECM area? It's muddling the view and I think the jamming does nothing to them. Also I think we could remove the labels, now?)

Demented Posted February 6 Clone Share Posted February 6 You can't do that. Jumping has to take the shortest route between the start and end hexes (player's choice if multiple routes available). If you want to jump, 1806 is probably the best bet. I'd backpedal to 2009 myself, because all attempts to make a 5-hex run to 1710 come up 1 MP short. As for me, I'm about to get my hatchet on! Yay! Demented T5 Move Run 1511>1508>1512, ending 1512 facing SW Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmes Posted February 7 Clone Share Posted February 7 Ooh yes, thanks, I forgot that. I'm not keen on 2009 as it's too risky and also too close to the Corsair. But if you're going to go for the Corsair' back, I can take more risks and move to try and get the Axman. I'll work on an alternate and post tomorrow. If I don't I'll just immobile in the same hex.

I can make the ECM bubble completely transparent (View→Client Settings→Advanced→ECM Transparency), but can't find a way to turn off the JAMMED labels. I prefer to leave the unit labels on for my own ease of viewing, but I can turn off the border to make it a bit less noisy, like so: Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Cirlot... Eh, I wasn't sure which way LOS would fall and took a gamble. Might even have been worth it had I been able to land even a single hit. 🤬 I think the odds of missing five 8+ shots is something like one in a hundred? NOT THE WAY I WANT TO BE LUCKY, DICE! Anyway, heat's edging up so I'm down to a 4/6, and it looks like we want to keep the pressure on. Clanners we ain't so focus fire is the order of the day. Moving to 1710. Probably gonna take some medium laser heat from the Corsair but I think the woods should screen me from most other return fire. Cirlot - Movement Phase - Turn 5 Run -> 1911 (turn NW) -> 1810 -> 1710-> Turn SW ( & Torso Twist South) So 1 (clear hex) +1 (turn) +1 (clear hex) +2 (light woods hex) +1 (turn) = 6 total, current Run MP Final location: 1710, Facing SW.

Tecmes Posted February 7 Clone Share Posted February 7 Changed my move to attack the Axman (and attract some of the fire away from the Scarabus). Thanks for the display change! Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT THE WAY I WANT TO BE LUCKY, DICE! It's about 7%, but still... I'm kind of tempted to run some metrics on the die rolls when this is all over, because the distribution seems to be (anecdotally) screwy. At least it seems to be affecting both sides equally.

Bobcloclimar Posted February 8 Author Clone Share Posted February 8 Turn 5 Shooting phase is up. The Corsair continues to be a pretty juicy target, so the Archer will be LRMing it again. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cirlot Posted February 9 Clone Share Posted February 9 (edited) Given the beating the Starslayer is taking I think Jaspers' gotta carpe 'dem diems before his ride gets shot out from under him. Corsair is still the best target and at range 3 which is about as sweet as it get. Gonna spike my heat for the next turn but chances are I'm either injured or getting the heck out of dodge for a round anyway. Second verse, same as the first . . . Cirlot - Starslayer Firing Phase Turn 5 On the Corsair! Maybe something will actually hit this time!

Bobcloclimar Posted February 9 Author Clone Share Posted February 9 (edited) Turn 6 movement phase is up. The relentless rain of fire finally yielded some results, as Tecmes's PHX speared the Axman through its gyro, sending it tumbling to the ground and cracking the shielding on its engine coreTwo engine crits from the impact. It is now crippled and is attempting to withdraw - I think it'll clear the board next turn, so putting it down this turn won't be that useful. The Corsair's armor is looking quite thin on the torsos as well (Demented somehow managed to reach across two hexes and take off a chunk of its right side from the left), and another round of concentrated fire should break through the armor and hopefully inflict critical damage.
