Question time!

I can draw a straight line from J10 to I12 without hitting the graphical representation of the wall despite passing through its square. Can I shoot from there or not?

For the purpose of this tutorial, yes. I'll avoid these kinda maps from now on, but you can shoot if your firing line is not obstructed by landscape.

Chaoticjosh and Frelock, you also need to pick your sides.

I'll do something about the presentation of the rules, they are really quite simple.

[Pandarsenic]

Awesome.

W04: Shoot I12, S, S Melee I12, E
D01: E, Shoot I12, S, S, Melee I12
N02: W W W, Shoot E10, E E E
N03: W W W, Shoot E10, E E E

[Pandarsenic]

Also, if nobody calls 3rd slot in next game, can I have Colonists/whichever power the other 2 don't want?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yes, but only if Round 1 finishes before Round 2 begins.

Moves accepted.

Combat:
Warmonger 4->I12(Pitbull 9):(A{3+2}/D{5+3}) Miss!
Warmonger 4->Melee I12(Pitbull 9):(A{1+2}/D{3+3}) Miss!
Devastator 1->I12(Pitbull 9):(A{4+3}/D{3+3}) Hit! {5} Shield pack hit for 3 damage! 1 HP left.
Devastator 1->Melee I12(Pitbull 9):(A{4+3}/D{1+3}) Hit! {5} Shield pack hit for 3 damage! Shield pack destroyed!
Nemesis 2->E10(Grunt 4):(A{1+2}/D{4+1}) Miss!
Nemesis 3->E10(Grunt 4):(A{3+2}/D{4+1}) Hit! {4} Torso hit for 2 damage! 1 HP left.

Spoiler: Round 1, Turn 7 Phase 0: Mercenaries move (click to show/hide)

[Pandarsenic]

You changed Grunt D8 instead of Grunt E10 on the map, just so you know.

[Frelock]

I'll take the raiders, if that's alright.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Of course. Take your picks with the 130 points you're given, and place your team on the map.

I'll repeat the info from the first post, just in case - for round 2, Colonists have 150 points, the other teams still have 130.

Oh, and you're right, Pandar. I mixed them up somehow. In that case, the Mercenaries' Grunt 3 has lost its legs, and Grunt 4's torso is still at 3 HP. I'll update the map later, when I'm back at the PC.

The Raiders-

Devastator 1 : O11  (50pts)
Perpetrator 1 : O12  (29pts)
Nemesis 1     : O13  (23pts)   
Nemesis 2     : O14  (23pts)

Total: 4 droids, 125pts

The colonists for round 2, nice looking map btw.

1 Musketeer at L4
2 Dragoons, at L3 and D14
1 Marksman at D13

This could become epic.

EDIT: Total of 134 points.

[Pandarsenic]

The Raiders-

Devastator 1 : O11  (50pts)
Perpetrator 1 : O12  (29pts)
Nemesis 1     : O13  (23pts)   
Nemesis 2     : O14  (23pts)

Total: 4 droids, 125pts

Quick reminder, only the Perpetrator lacks jump jets.

That is an excellent point which must have slipped my mind.  I was wondering why anyone would go with the Warmonger over the Perpetrator, considering the increase in both armor and attack power.  The only difference in the Warmonger's favor was the extra arm, which didn't seem too important.  But jump jets, that makes the Warmonger much more valuable.  And what with the number of walls we have, jump jets are an absolute necessity.

New raider task force:

Devastator 1 : O11  (50pts)
Warmonger 1: O12  (30pts)
Nemesis 1     : O13  (23pts)  
Nemesis 2     : O14  (23pts)

[Pandarsenic]

Haha.

Frelock, you now have the exact loadout I took.

[Frelock]

Well, with expensive units and only 130 creds, there's not much more you can do.  You've got two snipers for the back lines (I like snipers), a heavy hitter who'll charge up the middle, and an all-around guy who'll defend and attack as needed.  It seems like a pretty good build.

And considering the fact that you're still surviving in round one, it seems like it works, too.

I just regret that we don't get 133 points.  26 points is a lot to waste, but too few for any of the raider's mechs.

[Pandarsenic]

Agreed.

Also, I could probably argue fairly well that our mutual choice is the ONLY viable Raider build for this game in this form.
