You know, Simus really doesn't have anything to do. She wouldn't mind having a ship to order about, especially since she probably has the best battlefield awareness of anyone, being in the control center.
I think I'm gonna give her command of the various artillery, if you feel like directing high-explosive ordnance around. As for the ships, she could do it, but I think Sean would also like to order those around a bit. What do you guys say about both of you doing that? That way, in case either gets in combat the other can take over for a while. Miya could probably do all that himself, but I don't wanna hoard all the fun for myself. And he's busy dismembering sods and stuff, so yeah.

Sure, I'll take care of artillery targeting, as well as some ship controls if Sean will share.

Kay then. Remember to use them this turn!
One of the heavy artillery is reloading, the other one is ready to fire, these take 2 turns to reload I think.
All six mortars are deployed and ready to fire (none at C team now cause they have a sniper team for support), these take 1 turn to reload I believe.

Do the mortars have any particular position or would they just move into an appropriate position to fire when ordered?

They have a bit limited range, it usually takes 1 turn to move them, though if they are close enough they can move and fire in the same turn I think. Right now 4 are ready to shoot west, two are ready to shoot south I believe.

((Plus, they sent 50 shuttles and we're just fighting the remnants.  Assuming 6 troops per, which I think is roughly comparable to the Sword ones, that's 300 troops, many in battlesuits.  Extrapolate that outward and there were probably at least 20 battlesuits to start with.))

Plus, this is only stuff sent from the first of several ships, if I recall.

@ GWG: The maxims they are referring to are from schlock mercenary, I think. But kudos on trying the research!
I knew all except the schlock, but still felt that those were...shall we say...unexpected search results. I did eventually find most of them (see below).

((If you guys insist on attacking the southern battlesuits could you please put in a clause to refrain from finishing them off if i have already incapacitated them?))
You left out your team name again.

In any case, if you mean the battlesuits specifically, I would expect them to be heat resistant and hard to heat up uniformly, and imagine that trying to heat pockets inside them while heating a cloud around them would be pretty difficult. So the battlesuits are actually the last thing I'd expect it to be redundant to kill. I guess I might as well add a clause for that anyway, though.

I guess i could limit myself to simply heating a single pilots brain, although it would probably be pretty easy to get them both if Xan used his mass amp on the cockipit releases.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I'd just keep trying to nail the entire cluster, since we've already got someone working on each battlesuit but mainly just vague fire for everything else.

Because the webcartoonist hasn't posted all of them yet. He usually posts them when they are relevant to whats going on in the webcomic

@syvarris: Why not just test the HUD on your own suit and then upload it to the rest if it's working instead of risking doing bad things to the rest of your team? Even if the chances of something bad happening are low, I don't see any benefit for not trying it out on yourself first.
