Salvage sheet up.

I don't have strong feelings either way, but those other things (wind/darkness) hurt our ability to stop them as much as it hurts them on landing. Of course, a bad enough landing stops them anyway.

Heavy city terrain only hurts them, if they happen to have a bad landing, but it doesn't hurt us. It also hurts runners, that now have skidding checks, and removes their clan range advantage.

Like I said though, there's potential benefits either way, so do what you want.

I think terrain is the choice but man this could be worse

I assume we get 0 reinforce for these due to training.

Wolves won't have zell either

Rob what's your thoughts on the terrain?

I'm at the point of if we land it as heavy urban or something like super heavy woods it would be ideal to force harder psr or potential very bad things for them


I'm thinking light urban will end up like our last mission which might be okay if we can isolate. Now the risk is it not being and then we have like an airfield. I'm thinking we go terrain reroll.


Salvage sheet done too.

So the offer is 3 rolls toward light urban or heavy urban or we could go for night time or wind and force heavy movement/hot drop penalties.

If we jump and have searchlights it wouldn't hurt but I'm all out of lights at moment lol. I dont think they have many that do but they could end up with some.

Do the reinforcements count towards the 50% threshold that need to reach the North edge?

It's interesting that not all the BA that drops as reinforcements has an accompanying ride.

Butterworth spends 40xp for JJ - 0 remains

I did vote for this contract, so blame me if you want.  I like the mechanics overall.  Clan Vet/B perhaps not the best one to start with for this type of thing, but it's different.  Rob's assessment was it might be a cakewalk, might be a horrible idea.  We'll see how it goes.  FWIW, I agree with the idea of stranding Clan mechs on top of buildings or having them fall through them into basements.  Heavy urban definitely seems like the way to go.  That said, with only 3 rerolls, what's the likelihood of getting heavy urban or back to light urban?  I guess I'd want to understand that before triggering a reroll where the terrain could get notably worse.

I also did not vote for this contract.

I agree with not changing anything except possibly terrain.

I did NOT vote for this contract, had to say that first.

Oh wow, that is a LOT of clan stuff. That is ugly.

I agree with Ice, more buildings for them to land on would be perfect. I'd suggest reroll for Heavy urban. Love to see some non-jumping mechs get stuck on top of skyscrapers. I don't have a lot of all-weather SPA's, so I'd prefer weather stay clear.
