My internet ran out when I was updating the pictures, so they remain unupdated. Grunt 3 cannot move.

As for the builds, I promise to spice it up somewhat. Like having underground maps.

A few posts back Pandarsenic pointed out that I was checking Grunt 4 instead of Grunt 3 that he aimed at, and I wanted to update the pictures and the status accordingly, but my internet ran out and I spent the entire day at the dacha today, so I couldn't do anything. I'll update everything now, and put the starters in their place for round 2. I'd like to advise major_sephiroth (if he will indeed play this game, seeing how he still has Escaped Lunatic status) to revise his starting set to make better use of the 150 points he has. With a whopping 16 points left unused, you could, for example, swap out the Dragoons (34 each) for Gladiators (42 each).

One thing I should say, I'm actually Aussie so my posting hours may be a bit wierd.  I won't always be able to post at this time either.

Revised setup:
2 Musketeer at D13 and D14
1 Dragoon at E13
1 Marksman at E14

Theres only 4 so I can group them up, and now only 5 points left.  I'd take your suggestion but I'm going for a ranged based party.

Sean is in Russia if I recall correctly, so you're posting hours can't be any weirder than his (he's exactly 12 hours off from me).  Now all we need is someone from Iceland, and we'll have all quarters of the globe covered.

Kashyyk, I'll accept yer moves with the following alterations:

Grunt 3 remains in place (legs destroyed)
Grunt 6 moves S, SE, S, because it only has 4 move.

Combat:
Pitbull 9->Melee J12(Devastator 1):(A{3+2}/D{6+3}) Miss!
Grunt 5->J12(Devastator 1):(A{1+2}/D{1+3}) Miss!
Grunt 1->J12(Devastator 1):(A{1+2}/D{6+3}) Miss!
Grunt 6->J12(Devastator 1):(A{4+2}/D{5+3}) Miss!
Behemoth 8->J12(Devastator 1):(A{2+2}/D{3+3}) Miss!
Behemoth 8->Melee J12(Devastator 1):(A{1+2}/D{5+3}) Miss!

... Ye gods.

I've recently finished watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, so I can just imagine that Devastator yelling "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!" :P

Re: Astroid - TBS with robots. Round 2 full, waiting for chaoticjosh.

Heh, I've heard of ninja-robots but a ninja-mech?
I like Devastators now! ::)

About my posting hours being wierd, For me this is the morning, which I won't always be able to post in.  I can also post (sometimes) during IT at school, and always can after school, which ends about 7 hours from now.

To save time, If I have the first move, it is as follows:
Dragoon 03 - Jump, N, N, Jump down to ground. (If possible after) E
Musketeer 01 - N, N, N, N, N, NW
Marksman 04 - NW, N, NE, E, E
Musketeer 02 - NE

This only really works if the guys move independently, in the order specified. If it doesn't, I'll change it later, I'm out of time at the moment.

Well, that's actually the whole point of the Devastator - it's one of the tanklike mechs with stupid-high defense.

And Sean, mad props for watching Gurren Lagann.

Dev 01: Shoot H12, W, GIGA DRILL BREAKER Melee H12, E, N
War 04: SW, Melee I14, NE, Shoot I14 (if I14 has torso HP remaining; else, shoot I15), N N W
Nem 03: Sx4 (Maintain height), shoot I15, Nx4
Nem 02: E, E, SE, SE, S, Down, S

Sean, post the Devastator Icon on its own and I'll turn it into a Gurren Lagann icon for you. :D

So, let's see, do I just pick a bunch of robots from the ones you gave me on the opening post using the points I'm allocated?

Pandarsenic, your moves fail. The Warmonger can only do SW, melee, NE, and N ith its 5 move (melee on diagonal costs 1 move). The Nemesi have 6 move, not 8.

Chaoticjosh, yes, that's the idea. You can shoose any number of any units available to your side. You have 130 points to spend. Set them out on the field in the white rectangle on the map.

Hmmm... Alright. I'll take 8 grunts, and 1 behemoth. Place them in any order in the white box.
