It wouldn't be as effective, but what if Crazy moves up, and you take the bottom boxes?

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

I guess that'd work, but that still leaves the two of us against four of them.  Don't forget drones have DR; I consider it very possible that after both of us act that BOTH drones are still standing, and then those Sectoids are active...

Thoughts?


EDIT:  Keep in mind this position gives them the cover advantage, while falling back would reverse that.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Defense bonus and damage resistance. Next you'll tell me they have BVR area attack. Alright, where do you propose we ambush them?

Thankfully, their offense is nothing impressive; their shot does something like 2-3 damage in the actual game.

I was thinking the building Pierce is in.  Sadly, the back window firing ports don't quite have range to the box cover, but at least we'd have a full cover option while they're stuck in half.  We could then move someone (Aywen has the mobility from Pierce's spot  EDIT: oh derp, that's you) back up to the boxes to blast them at close range once they move in.

There's also K10. I know it's a big empty building with possible hostiles inside, but it's better if we know now, before they flank us...

I think K10 is simply too big a risk.  If it's empty, great, more firing positions in good cover, but if it's not, we're suddenly caught in a pincer with crap cover and we'll be forced to fall back a lot.

Adriana could move to D10 to check out the building. If it's got enemies, she has a shotgun and full cover. If it doesn't, firing positions and good cover.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

That won't actually make a good firing position (you only have range to M12), but at least we'll know if that building has any hostiles. I support this move.

I'm aware of that, but I can't see any other moves that won't get me flanked.

Yeah, I think that's a good move.  If the building is clear, she can move in to whatever cover is in the building (hopefully some) and be prepared to support next turn.

You're going to get flanked if you move to M14 Cheesecake.

so, look, you're trying to go where the red arrow is pointing. And you need to go along the green arrow. It's not cowardice as long as you move towards the enemy.

Well, he's had enough time to fix it and it's not my job to prevent suicide by alien. He still has a second move if he feels like living after all.

Guys, I really don't know what to do. I feel Kind of useless where I am right now but I'm debating getting to a position that allows for me to shoot anything that comes from the south in the face.

Crazy go to K10 and Overwatch
Julio go to M16 and flashbang T16
Adrianna should move further into that building
Ivan should dash to F16
Pierre is going to Overwatch
And John can go ahead and reposition because: goddammit Cheesecake

How does that sound?
