Removing from what someone else told me, isn't necessarily a customization. Removals are just a pass/fail with failure causing double time. In this case the 2/12 will have no effect. The 2/12 only affect items that are added, but do not belong.
Also with customization, The additions should be done all at once.

Rob said that removing items falls under the auspices of a refit. So I'm assuming it does after all

I will need to double check my stuff going back I would also say Paul double check yours

[Timberwolfd]

Removing stuff is a customization, but not a Customization. It is a single roll to remove everything (at the highest difficulty/mods of the individual rolls). Techs are eligible for customization XP on this roll I believe. This customization roll does not incur the +2 TN and x2 time for Customization. Installing stuff gets you the +2 TN and x2 time for Customization in addition to incurring all of the mods to TN and time for class A-F customization. You are not allowed to break up your customizations to game the class modifiers.

[Darrian Wolffe]

OK, folks.  Hold up.  Also, I just talked to Dan on the phone to straighten everything out.

The problem here is that Catalyst - in its infinite wisdom - is using the same word to describe multiple things. ("Refit" has been used to describe all three of the below).

1) Removing stuff in preparation for a customization is a refit.
2) Changing a Mech from one canon configuration to another is a REFIT and can be, but is not always, a Field REFIT (chance of Quirks, Techs gain XP based on MoS).
3) Adding things to a Mech which do not match up with a canon configuration is a Customization.  (+2 TN and x2 time, chance of Quirks, Techs gain XP based on MoS)

All three types use the Refit Table from StratOps to determine the time and TN modifier (Class A-F). 

All refit, REFIT, or Customization rolls should be batched together.  The only time we should be making individual component rolls is while doing component repairs after a battle.  So if all I'm doing is removing 10 SHS, I don't make 10 removal rolls; I take the base time of 90 minutes and multiply it by the number of HS being removed (900 minutes).  Spend the time and make the Tech roll.  If I succeed, I don't gain any Tech XP (because it's not a REFIT or a customization), and the slots are open to install whatever I want. 

If I then want to replace those SHS with x10 DHS, it becomes a customization.  So adding a DHS is a base time of 90 minutes x10 for the number of HS (900 minutes), and it's changing the HS type (Class D), so add a x3 time multiplier (2700 minutes so far) and a +2 to the Tech roll.  Because it's also a customization, add another x2 to the time multiplier (5400 minutes total) and another +2 to the Tech roll (+4 total).  If the Tech succeeds on the roll, they can gain XP.

So there aren't 20 rolls (removing 10 SHS, adding 10 DHS).  There's 2 rolls; removing everything in prep for the customization (ie, a refit), and adding everything in the customization.

Screw it - the awesome is done, just easier that way.

Also, because there is nearly no video of Vladimir Myschkin out there, he is now Andrei Vaslivesky.  The same issue exists for Tretiak.  He is now Sergei Bobrovosky

Running Horse mission 1 recap

Phawk is down some ammo and a half ton of armor
Dervish is down half a ton of LRM10 ammo.  No armor

Catapult is down 31 pts armor.  LT LRM bin is dry, RT down 2 rounds.
Awesome used 9 Gauss rounds, 100pts armor

9-22 Repairs

Figuring out how specifically the timing works based on examples from other threads.

Lance currently has 3 techs assigned, and an HR is assigned.  510 minutes each per day. 

Nabakov assigned to Reload the Catapult and Awesome.  Each will receive one ton of ammo.  60 minutes total (time determined by looking at another thread, automatic.  450 minutes remaining.  Base number 7, in field +2, triple time -2 = back down to 8 (custom unit).  Gets ten boxes in today.
rolles an 8 - 10 points back to the Awesome.

Vaslivesky has 510 minutes today.  He will be doing armor work.  Base TN 6, field +2, custom +1 double time gets it to 7.  Rolled a 7.  Whew.  510 minutes on double time is 17 per Windows Calc.

Bobrovosky has 510 minutes today.  He will be doing armor work.  Base TN 5, field +2, custom +1 double time gets it to 6.  Rolled a 9.   510 minutes on double time is 17 per Windows Calc.

Awesome picks up 44 points of armor.

The Awesome recovers 34 more points of armor.
