To be fair I will kill both the people engaging in melee with me next turn.

Also, how many weapons can we attack with again?

[USEC_OFFICER]

One? You can't fire your Fixed Heavy Gun and 60mm Cannon at the same time if that's what you're asking. You can only attack with one weapon a turn.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Specified which gun I was firing with.

And aw. I was hoping for macross missile massacre-style fights.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Well you do have the Dual 'Spear' Battery weapon, which fires two shots at a time. And there's going to be more types of guns in the future, so... It could still happen. Maybe.

[kj1225]

Well, considering people are attacking the enemies that are thoroughly handled...

[USEC_OFFICER]

I just remembered that I was going to move Smurf's mech to somewhere more useful. Sorry about that, it's done now. Given that most of the enemies have long ranges there were no 'safe' places to put the Hierarch that weren't far away from the action, so I shoved it onto a hex where it could threaten most of the enemy mechs and trucks. So you can give a more specific order if you want to, Smurf.

What's the waitlist for?  Is it for people who get a turn once one of the players get killed?  Since pilots don't really get killed, is there even a point?

[evictedSaint]

Something like this?

Spoiler: For the picture (click to show/hide)

Mydoki has fiery red hair, drawn into two unruly pigtails, and bright green eyes, she's approximately 5 foot tall. She'd be dressed a military cadet, in blue, i guess, with a greatcoat. She's short.

The mech is a heavy, bipedal humanoid, the head set into the chest 40k-titan style,  with heavy missile racks mounted in the shoulders. Stylised eyes are painted fuselage next to the cockpit, and a wicked grin sketched across the blunt snout of the mech. The paint of the mech is bright red, the decorations in black and white.

I finally got some free time and, after doing a couple hours of practice doodles, I think I finally nailed down the Sraosha Heavy Mech design.

Here's the front view; side view will follow shortly.

I apologize for how sloppy it is, I kinda rushed it.

The waitlist is for people who wanted to be on the waitlist. Plus people are going to die eventually, so it's good to have some spare pilots.

Also that picture looks pretty awesome. You might want to increase the relative size of the mech though, since they are supposed to be 8~ meters tall. Unless Mydoki is actually a giant in that picture. But other than that minor quible I love it.

You missed the part where USEC said that fallen pilots would get an D10-X% of dying, obviously...

Other than the Soviet Mech album, I couldn't find many definitive descriptions of what the mechs looked like.  This one is about two or three times longer than it is tall, though.  Lower center of gravity, slimmer profile, etc, but I do think I mad Mydoki a bit too tall.

OBVIOUSLY...........

[USEC_OFFICER]

The lack of definite descriptions for the mechs is an intentional choice, so that the players can imagine how they look. Plus I didn't have enough synonyms for bulky, and repeating myself 4 times didn't seem very fun to read. The mechs aren't all that different in appearance after all.

I might need to write a meandering backstory post at this rate.

War of the Bells flashbacks, maybe? I'm up for it if you are.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'm literally working on the turn now, though it'll be a couple more hours before it's up. Sorry about the delay, RL stuff overwhelmed me and I didn't have time to work on this.

EDIT: Nevermind. Turn now. Let me know how much I goofed up this time, guys.
