Try to draw the enemy mech's fire, and continue shooting.

[warhammer651]

I have WAY to much shit to deal with today, along with a decent amount of crap and bullshit. Update tomorrow

[warhammer651]

Mission 1 : Round 3

Spoiler:  Paladin (click to show/hide)

"Fuckers got Vanguard. OPEN FIRE!" Fire on the convoy a bit more.

To hit (6+ 1 (range)) VS (1 + hidden)
Defense (hidden)
You spray the remains of the convoy with a long burst of autocannon fire, destroying the last 2 cargo trucks and 4 of the APCs

Panther is going to town on the customized mech and Shield just killed the warhound

Spoiler: Occam (click to show/hide)

Weapons disabled, Vanguard down...

Draw fire from the others using my agility, and hit and run tactics.

<Hidden roll>
The warhound ignores you and the customized mech seems to have a good deal more on his mind, namely Paladin's hammer.
 Shield kills the warhound before it can cause anymore damage.

Spoiler: Panther (click to show/hide)

MOAR SMASHY SMASHY

As you move forward, the enemy desperately fires off a salvo of missiles
To hit (2-Hidden) VS (1 + 1 (quick reactions))  miss

To hit (1) VS (1-hidden) hit
Defense 2

The salvo comes WAY too close for comfort, but you quickly re-close the distance and smash your hammer into his leg, damaging it a good deal. off to your left, you can see Shield firing at the warhound until it drops

Spoiler: Shield (click to show/hide)

Try to draw the enemy mech's fire, and continue shooting.

<Hidden roll>
Well, you certainly got the warhound's attention and it moves to engage you, but the customized mech seems a little more concerned with Panther taking his sweet time killing it. You attempt to kill the warhound with your autocannon before it can get a shot off at you
to hit (2+1 (range) VS (1+hidden)
Defense <Hidden>
The spray of fire smacks into the chest of the enemy mech,. Apparently you hit something vital, probably the gyroscope or leg actuators, because it goes from standing upright to smacking into the ground cockpit-first

Spoiler: Enemy Mechs (click to show/hide)

Customized: Attack Panther (miss)
Warhound: attack shield (killed before it could)

Over your radios comes a sudden transmission from the customized mech: "wait, please! I surrender, just don't kill me!"
At this point, the mission is effectively over, but what are you going to do about him? Will you kill him, or will you take him prisoner?

[Taricus]

"Blood for blood. You will die for vanguard!"

[Draignean]

Stand off! He's more use to us alive and talking. Blood for blood, but he's only one. If he can tell us about ten then he's worth it.

[Frelock]

Come now, Paladin.  Don't you know that defeat means friendship?  I say take him in, and convince him to join our glorious righteous side.

[Taricus]

Defied this trope.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Took me awhile to think of a new mech design, but resigning now.

Callsign: Hive
Pilot skills: Missile Massacre
Mech: An incredibly thick mech that requires three people to operate; a pilot to control the body, a gunner to control the weapons, and a general engineer to reload and perform various other functions. It is humanoid in design, although headless and armless.
Mech traits: Target Tracker
Weapons: "Massacre" LOS seekers, "Hornet" Heat-Seekers

[warhammer651]

Post mission
You take the pilot prisoner, much to Paladin's chagrin and set up a temporary camp in the ruins where you strip the prisoner's mech for parts and attempt to interrogate hm. At first, he refuses to tell you anything other than his name, rank, and serial number (Kurt Grennan, Lance leader, 678-8756 respectively), citing that his "offer" never involved anything more than him surrendering, but after you leave him with Paladin for a few hours he becomes much more talkative. He gives you the rough specs of several new enemy mechs and basic Lance organization

Spoiler: Mech Specs (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

Warhound
All rounder
GRZ medium Laser
50mm Auotocannon

Warlord
All rounder
DCX 10
"massacre Missiles

Warrior
All rounder
200mm Artillery
Military Plasma cutter

Code: (Lance Organization) [Select]

1 lance consists of 2-4 normal mechs and 1 Lance leader, who is generally piloting a customized mech.
Current Empire tactical doctrine gives each lance 1 warhound to act as a scout, and 1 warlord for fire support. The mech of the Lance leader can be any kind of mech, but most prefer to base their design on the Warlord due to its long-range radar systems.

Occasionally, the Empire will field a "short Lance", an understrength lance that specializes in a specific role. the pilots chosen for these are the best of the best, usually being a triple ace or more.

After around a day or two, you finally meet up with allied forces, allowing you to hand over the prisoner to Intel (you almost feel sorry for the guy) and get some deserved R&R. Slightly less welcome is the FNG being added to your team, one "Witch Hunter".

Spoiler: Talarion (click to show/hide)

Callsign: Witch Hunter
Pilot skills: Beam Spam
Mech: A humanoid mech, with two legs, with stabilising rails on each leg so it doesn't fall over.
Mech traits: Extra Guns
Weapons: DCX-17 far-focus laser (Energy Long), GRZ Medium laser (Energy Medium), Flame Thrower (Energy Short)

This is pretty much a mini-update whilst I create the next mission. Mission 2 briefing and deployment will be up saturday

[warhammer651]

Mission 2 Briefing

Thanks to that prisoner you captured we know know the location of an enemy base/Mech factory. This factory is supplying most of the Empire's troops in the area, so we need it taken out ASAP.  We believe that they have no more than two Lances of mechs to defend the base, However, we believe that one of the Lances is a "short Lance", so be careful.


Here's a map of the area. we've labeled the building you need to destroy.
    

There is a large gorge in the center of the area, spanned by two bridges. Be careful when fighting on those, they won't stand up to too much fire.

You have two routes you can approach the base from. The first is to come up from the south, along the road, the second is to approach from the east, within the canyon.



In addition to your mechs, we are assigning some tanks to assist you. These tanks are equipped with 120mm cannons, a mid-ranged ballistic weapon. They will be approaching from the west.

Good luck and good hunting
>Pick your approach

[Taricus]

Drop in the east.

[Draignean]

Drop in the south

[Frelock]

Drop in the west (unless there's something that makes that second bridge inaccessible...)

[Trollan]

Drop in the south
