My warmahordes tournament was cancelled so I will be there.
Also Norbotten lance will be available for reinforcement if needed

If there is any confusion, you guys are the ATTACKERS, as per the top words of the scenario.
The 0.48 build of AtB automatically lists the PCs in every dynamic scenario as "Defender" - I have to go change it manually, and I just forgot on this one. You guys are attacking the facility.

Apologies for making you scroll, but the map is at full scale so you can read the building information. Again, people bringing building counters will be helpful.

Deployment
Base Turrets Deploys first. Each standard weapon turret must deploy onto a purple star hex, and is considered to be on top of any structure in that hex. Note that not all star hexes are on top of structures.
Tank Garrison Deploys alongside Base Turrets. Tank units may deploy anywhere desired inside the Purple Zone, but not inside of or on top of buildings. At least 4, but no more than 6, Conventional infantry units must deploy on the City Ruins map, and may not deploy into or on top of buildings. Battle Armor must deploy onto the City Ruins Map, and may not deploy into buildings.
Primary OPFOR: Deploys after Ranger Forces have chosen deployment zones. Prior to game, divides their force into lances (lances are in order; 1st 4 units constitute 1 lance, etc). Units of the 2nd Lance must deploy onto a Red Star Hex. Other Lances may deploy anywhere desired in the Red Zone, but may not deploy into adjacent map quarters (including diagonally) alongside any other lance; the 2nd Lance on Red Star Hexes doesn't count toward this restriction.
OPFOR Reinforcements: On Turn 5, each Lance enters the board through one of Zones Red 1, Red 2, or Red 3. Only 1 lance may enter through any Red Zone.
Ranger Forces: Deployment choices occur after OPFOR Turret and Tank Garrison choices are made. Each lance deploys into a single far western map quarter, no more than 4 hexes from the board edge. Each lance must choose a deployment zone, which is private information, but specific hex choices are not made until after all OPFOR deployment is made.
Ranger Reinforcements: Up to 1 Ranger BattleMech lance may be deployed as reinforcements. Enters on its initiative on its designated turn anywhere desired along the Western board edge.
Environmental Conditions
None
Battlefield Support
The Numenorean Rangers Receive 40 BSP to spend as they wish.
OPFOR gain 12 BSP to spend on defensive air support only. They also receive 2 Sniper Artillery HE shells for free each turn. This artillery fire will begin on Turn 2 (landing on Turn 3), and may not target the City Ruins map whatsoever. Each artillery piece may be targeted by counterbattery fire by Ranger artillery; a TN 10 hit automatically knocks out 1 Sniper piece, and the TN drops by 1 for each consecutive turn the same piece is fired at by the same Ranger gun. Ranger ASFs may target this artillery, a successful attack automatically destroys 1 Sniper piece. However, the artillery is protected by AA batteries, and ASFs must survive x8 AC/5 attacks (Gunnery 3, stationary attacker, Nose angle, AA targeting quirk) in order to prosecute an air-to-ground attack.
Victory Conditions
Rangers
1)* Identify and destroy both of the target structures.
2) Destroy, force the withdrawal of, or render incapable of spending MP, 9 units from Primary OPFOR.
3) Ensure the Liaison unit and 2 Jazz Lance units survive and are capable of spending MP at the end of the scenario
*Condition 1 must be achieved in order to claim victory in this mission
OPFOR
1) Destroy, force the Withdrawal of, or render incapable of spending MP, at least 6 Ranger BattleMechs, including at least 2 Jazz Lance Mechs.
2) Prevent the identification and destruction of the 2 target structures
3) Destroy, force the Withdrawal of, or render incapable of spending MP, the Steiner Liaison
MISCELLANEOUS
1) Exiting the battlefield requires a unit to remain stationary at the board edge for 1 turn. Only a single spent MP is required to move offboard (ie, the environmental MP penalties doesn't apply; or, more specifically, the Minimum Movement rule overrides it).
2) OPFOR MechWarriors will attempt to capture any ejected Ranger MechWarriors in this scenario, unless a Ranger BattleMech target in LOF is equally as close (or closer) than the ejected MechWarrior, or the Ranger BattleMech target is within 8 hexes and subject to a valid LOF in any case.
3) IDing target buildings.
a) A Mech unit which has spent Walking MP may attempt to ID a target building during the End Phase of the turn, assuming the pilot is conscious. Make TN 7 check, modified by -1 for each applicable quirk or SPA (ie, Eagle Eyes) which apply. All buildings adjacent to the Mech are checked on a single roll. If successful, the target building is revealed.
b) The Improved Sensors quirk will automatically ID the target building, which must be adjacent to the Mech at the end of movement, and the Mech may have spent Running MP.
c) A Mech with a Beagle Probe will automatically ID the target building, which must be within 5 hexes of the Mech at the end of movement and in a valid line of sight, and the Mech may have spent Running MP. A Mech with a Beagle Probe can also automatically ID the target building and spend Jumping MP, but may only check buildings adjacent to itself. Any sensor hit critical effect will disallow a Mech from attempting to ID the building. Vehicle, infantry, and aerospace units may not attempt to ID the building.
d) A Mech with a Bloodhound Probe can spend MP freely, and will automatically ID the target building in a 5-hex radius, as long as there it a valid line of sight between the Mech and the building.

Regarding Misc point 3:
Does Improved Senors have its normal +1range impact to the probes as well as their separate impact?

Deadly, you're up.

Beagle Probe is normally 5 hexes, right? If so, then yes.

IMPROVED SENSORS (3 POINTS)
A ’Mech with this quirk is treated as if it has an active probe
(range 4 for Inner Sphere ’Mechs, range 5 for Clan ’Mechs). If it is
equipped with an actual active probe, instead add 2 to that active
probe’s range.
Per 5th edition, same as 1st in BMM.

Maps are checked and packed. I need a copy of Desert Mountain #1. I have 3 copies of Desert Mountain #2, and I'll use an extra if I have to (and it should be impossible to have 3 copies of 1 and 0 copies of the other), but I'll check with you guys first. Anyone have a copy?
-
Sheets printed. Will write pilot info tonight. I'll check to see how many maps I have of desert mtn 1.
Sheet info done
Found my map, only have 1 of the folded paper one and 1 printed as well. No extras it seems like.
-
Still need a Goliath or proxy thereof. Anyone have anything?
-
I've got a really big clan quad and an AT-AT. I am bringing them.
-
Do not care if you pay me or not, but I will be ordering pizza for the group tomorrow from Dominos. Gonna get 5 pizzas and probably 2 sets of bread.
-
I've got a Goliath, unpainted, but it's legit

I'm meeting a friend who flew in from Ireland tonight, and when I get back I'll do all end of contract stuff.

Do I still get a chance to get my solo done over the next few days or am I just out of luck?

Yeah, go ahead. Where you guys are in Dragoon Rating, basically nothing you can do during that solo will affect things so much that any new or end-of contract stuff will be materially affected by the results. CBill values are so large now that they'll disappear into rounding errors.

Hammer mission 4 AAR
Once upon a time there was a little village in the mountains. In that village, secret work was being performed but no one knew what. The ruler of a far kingdom learned of the secret work and hired a small army to destroy it. The scouting force of the army located the village and the ruler’s liaison ordered the army to attack.
The scouts marched in from the west spread between several mountain passes. Enemy light and fast knights gathered in the southeast to attempt block invasion from that direction while heavy and assault knights gathered in the north. A garrison of mechanical carriages and infantry held the center. The village also was defended by multiple catapults of great power but limited range.
The southern push to the village, led by Fury and Foil, broke through the light weight resistance. Unfortunately, Fury’s Wraith went down after meeting the Queen of Hearts and off went his head [again]. Fury and Foil, helped by faster members of Paladin, then began systematically destroying the rooftop catapults and searching for the elusive secret buildings.
Meanwhile, in the north, the evil white knights heavy forces occupied some high ground and poured withering fire down upon Jazz and Paladin as a lance conjured out of nowhere charged into the heart of the Jazz formation. Before reinforcements of Lancer could reach the firefight, Jazz One was a smoking wreck with Paladin One not far behind.
Lancer’s arrival helped turn the tables in the north with Paladin and Fury. Losses were high on both sides. Before it was over, Jazz lost Gunslinger, Wolfhound and Berserker lost most of a leg [barely mobile]. Paladin lost Marauder and Galloglass while Fury was left wondering if the Wraith is cursed. Foil’s Owens finally found the final secret workshop and Lancer sent a homing pigeon to the long range catapults informing them of the target. They levelled the building in short order. The white knights drifted into the mountains in retreat leaving the Ranger scouts in control of the hovel.

Hot damn that was a good take.
