Side note: I will not be at this game. I'll be on a film set actually doing work, so, sorry in advance.

Is the requirement to keep ENEMY base turrets alive correct?

Obviously not. It displayed the text for the Defender version, not the Attacker version. Reloading the save fixed it. Correct version is posted above.

Well holy hell ac20s
Also this seems doable

Note, the first turret is a triple AC/20.

Short-range turrets just seem like such a non-factor though... unless the enemy hides behind buildings and puts the turrets in cover as well.
-
Who are eligible reinforcements? If Wolverine is the only one he probably wouldn't be able to do the solo mission the day before. He only has one backup mech.

They’re time sinks and hazards used to keep fire away from other things and prevent a rush to short range. Basically an opportunity cost if you want to use any tactics that would be within their range.

Unrestricted, though because you do have a full Allied Lance I'll suggest strongly that you limit yourself to only a single Lance.

Everyone but Freya.
Go ahead and generate the scenario. I think Ice lance will make a good reinforcement choice.

Note that the first Crusader, Rifleman, Blackjack and Orion are advanced variants. The BJ-3 just has DHS, the others mount XLs with more equipment.

Better be careful, I know where they could find some Catapults, practically brand new. Granny only used them for fire support missions.

Final Scenario
(https://i.imgur.com/PGH4lnm.png)
NORTH
(https://i.imgur.com/4E3a1WZ.png)
SOUTH
Maps
Rolling Hills 1........Open Terrain 2.......Rolling Hills 1
City Ruins.............CityTech...............Battletech
Open Terrain 1.......Desert 1..............Desert 2
Deployment
Base Turret Deployment: Up to two Base Turrets may be deployed in Hidden Deployment, anywhere within 5 hexes of, or on, a Pavement Hex, while staying on the central mapsheets. The remainder must be deployed on or adjacent to a building hex on the central mapsheet. A Base Turret which has not revealed itself prior to the End Phase of Turn 8 may not reveal for the remainder of the game, and will count as destroyed for Victory Purposes.
OPFOR Force 1 Deploy: Divide into Lances; deploy up to 1 Lance on the central Mapsheet, between 0 and 2 Lances on the northeast Mapsheet, between 0 and 2 Lances on the north central Mapsheet, and between 0 and 2 Lances on the northwestern Mapsheet. These Lances may not be deployed within 8 hexes of any member of another Force 1 Pirate Lance.
OPFOR Force 2 Deploy: Deploy all Vehicle Units in the central Pavement area on the City Ruins Map. All Force 2 Mech units enter the board on their initiative count on Turn 1 along the western edge of the City Ruins map, between but not on the northern and southern Pavement Hex clusters.
PC Deployment: Deploy on the southern half of the southern three mapsheets (up to the fold). You may not deploy more than 5 Mechs into an 8-hex contiguous area. Allied forces are spread as evenly as possible between players and are treated as Lance members for purposes of deployment.
PC Reinforcements: Enter up to the northmost corner-edge of any southern Mapsheet. Bonus: Reinforcements enter 1 turn earlier than normal, to a minimum of Turn 2.
Environmental Effects:
None.
Battlefield Support
Ranger Forces may choose up to 18 points of battlefield support.
Pirate Forces gain up to the Ranger BSP value -3, in artillery support only (minimum 6). Pirate Forces automatically gain x2 Light Air Cover for no cost (representing conventional VSTOL aircraft units) which cannot deal armor damage to attacking ASFs.
PCs Victory Conditions:
1) Destroy all Base Turrets
2) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 12 enemy units
3) Ensure that at least 2 Allies Mechs do not enter the Crippled State
Bonus Objective: each non-combat vehicle which is destroyed has a 50% chance to grant a Random Bonus
OPFOR Victory Conditions:
1) Destroy at least 8 attacking Mechs
2) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 1 Lance Leader mech
3) Destroy or Cripple at least 3 Allied Mechs
**Bonus objective: exit non-combat vehicle units from the northern board edge
***EXITING THE BATTLEFIELD***
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 environments MP penalties doesn't apply; or, more specifically, the Minimum Movement rule overrides it).
***Captured Pirate MechWarriors recieve a -2 TN bonus to recruit. Until they are recruited, Pirate MechWarriors have a small chance of attempting a breakout each month, which may result in injury or death to Lance Wingmen. Pirate MechWarriors cannot be ransomed.***
***Pirates will attempt to capture ejected MechWarriors for ransom instead of shooting them..***
-
PCs will take 10 BSP.

What is the allied forces deployment guidelines?

I have a green wolfhound, plus a blue/black griffin, along with a tan blackjack and zeus in same color scheme, so I guess choose which one I should bring so we do not get confused with same colors all over the place.

I would say skip the Griffin unless it's very black with little blue. The Wolfhound, Blackjack and Zeus are good. Bring both the Zeus and the Wolfhound JIC, but I wouldn't want to have two mechs of the same paint scheme on opposite sides.

Do you have a Wolfhound? Paul's will be in the same colors as his contribution to the allied force.

The wolfhound is solid green. The Blackjack and Zeus are the ones that are the same color scheme.

I have 3. Colors are black w/red, green w/gold and desert camo tan. I will bring them.

It looks like we will have 10 players. So I am considering an additional reinforcement lance.
Included:
Dunedain
Reaper
Bright
Reinforcements:
Ice
Midnight, are you interested? Bring your lance, I'll make the decision on game day when we see how it balances out on players.

Midnight is in training, so not interested if I would lose the training benefits for the month.

OK, fair warning - I'm going to be moving stuff along very fast after this Saturday's game. To the point where I'm putting up the Marketplaces Friday night b/c I leave my house Friday evening and won't get back until extremely early Monday morning (so I don't have the opportunity to put them up after the game this weekend). The next scenario will not go up until we've resolved some of the marketplaces.
Basically, don't go into the usual post-game shell and fail to check the forum for 2 weeks following the game. If you do, I can and will move things along without everyone checking in, if necessary, and you'll just have to be mad about it `cause you were warned.
-
Rob, thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure Ryan sees this as well and we've gotten our stuff done including chits by end of weekend.

Configure for direct fire support. PPCs, all of them.

"Is there a chance of rain?"
-
And over here in grid square 55 Aleph we have a devolping system that we expect to bring rain on Saturday. Watch this system carefully folks. Our models predict a 95% chance of PPC rain. This is going to be really dangerous people, so stay indoors and ride the storm out, do not attempt drive, you could easily be caught by a stray blast.
-
Pop up rain (of artillery shells) is also expected. These sudden squalls contain dangerous hail (shrapnel) and are preceded by low rumbles of thunder in the distance. Wait until all is quiet before venturing out.
-
So out of curiosity would the enemy know were coming ?
IF so are we broadcasting this to the local populace lol
-
I have another javelin jagermech as well as ostscout and ostroc if needed for proxy
These would be unpainted most likely
-
Due to local weather conditions, for the love of all, please carpoool up Saturday if possible - cars will bog down in the yard.
-
Minis list updated. I've got the spares.

Unless someone already has the sheets printed, guess I will do it again.

There aren't any formal sheets for turrets. They are X weapons, 2X tons of ammo, and 10X (or maybe 20X) points of armor.

So what do you recommend in terms of a sheet?
Also, my copy of SAW doesn't have the Sherpa. Do you have the details or know where I can pull them from?
-
Sarna would be easiest.
-
Sherpa has a turret mounted MG with 1 ton of ammo and 0.5 tons of fire control (it's a civilian tech vehicle).
Ice 4/6 tracked vehicle
31 points of armor (7 front, 6 everywhere else, with 1 wandering point off who knows where.)
7 tons of cargo.
The SAW weight will be off by a lot because SAW doesn't do civilian.
35 ton vehicle.
-
Sarna would be easiest.
Sarna doesn't note armor or points / location unless they've been hiding somewhere.
-
Does anyone have details on the Phoenix Hawk 1Kk? It claims weapons replaced with ER LL, 2 MPL and 11 DHS. That comes up a ton over unless armor decreases by a ton which would be odd.
@Jon: Thanks for the details on the Sherpa.

It's another half baked custom from Era Report (Error Report...) 2750. At least half of them don't add up. The description text on Sarna is basically a direct copy of ER 2750's description. There isn't an official record sheet set for ER 2750. I had the same issue with a Crab a contract or two ago. Just make it work in a reasonable way.

Np. 10 rather than 11 DHS will do that. I’ll get that printed as well.

It's not overweight, guys. You have to start from the base of a PXH-1K, not a PXH-1

I really appreciate The Pope's willingness to host us. So as a group we need try and car pool. I already have 3 of the possible 11 or 12 players. Pope will already be there, so that leaves 7 or 8 others.

I can shuttle people back and forth from one of the nearby park lots if that's helpful. With a minivan I've got plenty of space.

Wait did we end up saying the Griffin was or was not salvaged? If it was then I thought he got it. If not I guess it would be up to him at that point if he really wants the crusader or other options above. He lost a mech if he wants it then he can have it but I will end up removing any of the associated purchases and posted rolls for the repairs.
I mean I would like to keep it or take the Orion I can do roughly the same thing and I have funds to buy an xl as much as I dont want to

Griffin was not salvaged. I originally was given the 2 bugs. But I would take the Orion instead if it doesn't take it from someone else.

Orion is yours. Unit will sell the 2+1 bugs for the DropShip fund.
