Reaper lance is going to repair the Salvaged Griffin GRF-1N and maintain in the it's inventory of available mechs. I also wish to ransom the captured pilot of the Orion, Leopold Nimtz. Not sure what I need to do about that.

Lucas asked me to let you know that he is going to do the same with the salvaged Trebchet TBT-5N that was given to Bright lance.

Dunedain Lance will not be combat effective before Themyscira Mission 3.
The Firestarter repairs will necessitate replacing the left leg and all associated armor and actuators. All replacements can be made from stores.
Similarly, the Thunderbolt received 3 crits, 1 each to the engine, gyro, and life support. Efforts to repair the life support were unsuccessful. A replacement was drawn from stores.
Repairs to the Crusader and Shadow Hawk went well.

Fairchild lance reports ready for action at ~99% readiness.  Marauder (2 pts CT IS) and Rifleman (1 pt CT Armor) remain damaged but servicable for duty.  SGT Ivan Andrews is lightly injured (1 pilot hit; failed the Doc check) but is fit for duty.

FYI, it's been seen.  MHQs, mobile field bases, etc, all come up as normal on the monthly Unit Market.  When one comes up, I'm pretty sure I (or whomever is the Unit CO at the time), will certainly pick one up.

Dunedain Lance completed all repair, reload, and maintenance operations on March 5, 3045. Overall, damage was minor, requiring less than 5 tons of armor to repair. Damage internal components were repaired in place without the need for replacement. This was fortuitous given that Hot Foot's (Firestarter) large laser was damaged during the fight and no spare was in inventory. 2 spare large lasers have been ordered to ensure this is not a problem after future engagements.

Side Note: The repair calculation spreadsheet has been updated to include repairs for damaged multiple crit weapons and equipment. The original spreadsheet was created with StratOps and those modifiers are on another page and were missed. I double checked BMR and they are there as well.

I saw that some Administrator were being assigned. Is there any more Admin HR left? If so, I would like one.

Also, after the solo mission Reaper lance requests to be removed from scout role. I may want them assigned to training for 4 weeks. If on training, can the techs still repair salvaged and damaged mechs during that time and at the dropship?

Admins were assigned to the lances which have historically required the most repairing after missions.  You tend to drive your lance relatively conservatively, so you take a lot less damage in general than, say, Brandon.  Therefore, you're a lower immediate priority for assistance.  With that said, since they've gotten theirs, you're next on the docket when we hire another veteran HR admin, since you specifically requested one.

A solid "maybe" on the first part of that question.  Depending on when Mission 5 is scheduled to happen, you, Bright, and Dancer Lances may be the only intact formations available.  I can't reassign you to training unless and until I have three other fully-intact lances, since we generally want to be throwing a full company into these missions.  If I've advanced time to the middle of March and haven't seen a contact pop up, that'll have given enough time to the other lance commanders to do repairs that I can thusly reassign you.  Do remember, Mike (Kong Lance) is not deployable at all for the forseeable future, and IIRC Ice, Crusher, and Fairchild Lances at a minimum are all downchecked for damage.  That's ~50% of the overall unit.

As per the second half of that, *IF* I can get you into the training role, the answer is "yes".  Techs still do their things during that time in terms of repair and salvage, and count at being at a full repair facility (the -2 mod).  However, they can't do a customization of a Mech involved in the training (if Billy Jim is part of Dancer Lance and his Mech is downchecked for customization, then he'll get no benefit from the training for that month).

FYI: I'll be performing a customization on my Crusader.  The parts won't get here until 5/28.  However, it's a maintenance (Class D) level Refit, so if I have to do it on the DropShip on the way outsystem, that's OK.  The removal portion is already complete.

Details:
Remove H AMS
Remove AMS ammo
Remove RL SSRM-2
Remove LL SSRM-2
Remove LT SSRM-2 ammo
Remove RA Machinegun
Remove MG ammo
Above is already complete


Below will take ~7 days assuming a successful roll, completing on 4 June
Add Medium Laser (LA) - This is the Class D refit; adding a weapon where there was no weapon before
Add SRM-4 (RL) in SSRM-2 slot
Add SRM-4 (LL) in SSRM-2 slot
Add SRM-4 ammo (LT) in SSRM ammo slot
Add 8 points armor (4 per leg)

So as a heads-up, if you succeed in a recruitment roll, let me know that you've done so and what the pilots G/P skills are so I can roll out his skills and SPAs (if any).

Since he's not a Veteran Pilot, he doesn't start with any SPAs.

As for skills...

If you order parts immediately after the battle on 9/22, they should arrive in 3 weeks, putting their arrival on or about 10/13/3045. If you have to wait until October to order because of acquisition rolls, then it would be 10/21. Then however long for the work to get done.

If literally all you're waiting on is a single jump jet, do note that the Mech *can* be fielded.  You always have the option of fielding a damaged Mech.

Either way, It would still come in on the 28th. Also for both the GM and CO. I will have lots of free time (too much of it to be exact) if anything needs to be done planning wise on the forums, just ask. I will be home bound for some time until I get a few things paid off and work on getting my own place.
I do appreciate you keeping my pilot alive (despite me deserving his death), I would have been content with it. I was more happy my engine wasn't completely destroyed.

Question to CO, are you planning on putting me back on training or not?  If I go back to training, I will have time to modd my mechs during repair time.  If not, I will not make the mods.  Just for reference, I plan on putting a BAP on my main mech, and changing the Javelin into something more like the 10F as I have all the parts and don't have to go hunting for DHS.

"Training means a Lance cannot fight or repair, but each
month each member of the Lance (tech and MechWarrior) will automatically gain 5 XP. Note that VERY occasionally units in Training can be hit by OPFOR forces;
and the Training units will not have live ammunition for their weapons."

How would the after battle work with something like this in the rules? The question would be when will we be placed back in training (if we do go back to training)?

They can't fight in that they are not part of the mission rotation (fight, defend, scout, etc.). The repair and mod issue is that the pilot won't have a mech to train in while it is in the shop.

Question to CO, are you planning on putting me back on training or not?  If I go back to training, I will have time to modd my mechs during repair time.  If not, I will not make the mods.  Just for reference, I plan on putting a BAP on my main mech, and changing the Javelin into something more like the 10F as I have all the parts and don't have to go hunting for DHS.
Ask me after the next mission, since it happens on the same day anyway.
The question is how beat up the other lances get.

OK, I'm going to hold on to that Wasp LAM and see just how fucked up trying to run a LAM under the IntOps rules (and the homebrew LAM maintenance/repair rules I just put in the Rules Thread) actually is.

I'll edit this post in a bit with the status of my Grasshopper, but it's all really just minor armor damage and I have 15 days between my mission date and the 10/30 mission, so you can probably assume that I'll be "all units green" by then.

EDIT 1:  OK, that was a giant clusterfuck.

First, the Grasshopper is back in action by 10/19, four days after action.  Freya Lance is green after that.

Second, adding the following LAM pilot to the TO&E:
(https://i.imgur.com/eSJ3iz9.png)

Applicable rolls are in the Warehouse thread.  Stats in that image are accurate.  I can't add the SPAs until the character is formally added to the AtB (I'll lose the nice dialog box), but the SPA results were Weapon Spec and Jumping Jack (3 and 2, respectively).  I'm not sure which Weapon Spec I'll select, but the  Unit-level TO&E shouldn't require that.  As per the LAM Rules Addendum, she is classified both as a Light and Medium Mech pilot.  I sacrificed 1 skill (MoS 2) to buy 1 point of EDG; the other skill is Tactics +4.  Triple monthly Veteran Salary is $4,320/month.

EDIT 2:  You asked for a general state of affairs for each lance.  I'm just outright attaching my lance warehouse as per the day after I got all of my acquisitions in.  It'll be easier than going point-by-point to update you.  I have not yet decided what to do with the XP amounts for my lancemates (aside from almost certainly purchasing Melee Master for Elsa).

Question. I know I am still going on with the old quirks from before the usage of the BMM. I forgot that the Vindicator has ubiquitous when applying rolls to replacement actuators. With me only having one 45T, would it be possible to use my original roll for a hand actuator (with my scrounge rolled a 6, when needing a 5 with ubiquitous) and negate my later two rolls? Also for those with original mechs from those quirks could we post them back up again as reference?

The rules are clear that you are responsible for your modifiers.  So no, you can't use the 5 instead of the 6. 

As to the second part, what mechs do you think the quirks changed for?  I know some of the older rules are floating around the forums, but you would have to go digging through the past threads to find them.

Just the initial mech quirks that we started with.
Also you misunderstood. I rolled a 6 (including my scrounge of +1) for acquisition of a hand actuator for my vindicator. With Ubiquitous being part of the old quirk list for the vindicator, I would have needed a TN of 5 to pass buying said actuator.
But you are right, I should have been paying attention so this should be disregarded.

I was looking online trying to figure out the class for gyros in general. The only thing in the refit schedule is Class F, which states that its a change of gyro type (from normal to compact eg.), but nothing about altering the size of the gyro. I looked online for an answer and saw that on the catalyst thread, that anything to do with gyro is Class F. With that in mind, we are to assume this to be the case right?
Also with that in mind, do you mind if I remove some posts regarding pulling out the gyro from rifleman and putting into thunderbolt, or just move the dates when the time comes up?

What specifically are you intending to do? Any refits involving the gyro are going to be class D or F (in my reading of the rules) because there are only two ways the gyro needs to change. 1. Changing speed/engine rating enough to need a larger/smaller gyro or 2. installing a special technology gyro. In the first case, you have a class D refit because your gyro size requirement is defined by the engine rating, it just makes swapping a 250 engine out for a 300 take that extra bit longer. If you are swapping an engine type and rating, you are in the same spot on a class F refit. And if you are specifically installing a special tech gyro, you are clearly in F anyway. Let Rob confirm that gyro changes do to simple engine rating changes are class D, but the other cases will clearly be F regardless.

Everyone,

Please go to the custom mech loadout thread and post the following information in addition to your customizations:

1. Mech name and model for each mech
2. Mech record sheet/text output/wahtever for each custom
3. Is the mech advanced tech?
4. Your primary lance configuration - our dropships are filling up and we need to actually differentiate between mechs ready for immediate deployment and the ones shipped as cargo.
5. The game date for the configuration.

When the Unit pulls out, both Reaper and Bright lances are being recalled to their former military units. (Do to real life situations my sons and I will not be able to be a regular part of the group for a while, probably for at least the rest of the year. We will keep an eye on the forums and dates. If there is a date we can make it down we will let you know and join you as opfor. I will go ahead and take care of retirement rolls for my unit in case we can make back as regulars during this Campaign.)

This will also free up space for 13 mechs. ;D

No problem.

OK, this shouldn't ever actually matter, but there's either MASSIVE errors or massive retconning happening with the Triumph class.  The difference between TRO3057 and TRO3057(r) is IMMENSE.

TRO 3057 Version (Obsolete Triumph)
5600 tons
250 tons gas
3,260 tons cargo (including 2000 tons explicitly called out in fluff)
45 Heavy Vees
8 Light Vees
4 platoons infantry
Note - running the math on this results in being ~2117 tons overweight

TRO 3057 Version (Obsolete Triumph)
8600 tons
383 tons gas
749.5 tons cargo (the 2000 tons  is STILL explicitly called out in fluff)
24 Heavy Vees
12 Light Vees
4 platoons infantry
Note - running the math on this leaves ~1422 tons unaccounted for

Against the Bot Version
8600 tons
383 tons gas
750.5 tons cargo
45 Heavy Vees
8 Light Vees
4 platoons infantry

That's...that's fucked up.

OK, I can't customize DropShips in AtB.  Which is really annoying, because ya'll were SUPPOSED to get one of the modified versions with ASF bays, but AtB refuses to recognize that variant.  So it's this.


Against the Bot Version
8600 tons
383 tons gas
750.5 tons cargo
45 Heavy Vees
8 Light Vees
4 platoons infantry

If you ever need to deploy ASFs for some reason, you're treated as having SIX ASF bays, and you can officially transport up to 36 Heavy Vehicles, not 45 (x9, 100 ton Hvy Vee bays vs x6, 150-ton ASF bays).  Additionally, if cargo space ever ends up mattering (it shouldn't), you'll have the bonus 2,000 tons spoken of in the fluff.  

Christ that's annoying.

Post by: Timberwolfd on April 18, 2018, 10:30:56 PM
Okay, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the crazy one.
At our numbers we should probably be recruiting/trading for another mech carrier, if that is even remotely a thing in AtB. Story line wise, if we ever get into the FS I would like to work my contacts, good rep, etc. for us to find another DropShip.

As for the ASF carrying issue, just retcon the Dictator into an Overlord. We still have 36 mech cubicles, and get our 6 ASFs with minimal disruption.

Are you factoring in the absence of Bright and Reaper lances? They're effectively gone from the unit for now, so we're no longer transporting their mechs.

Yes, we took a lot of salvage.
The Dictator is configured for 36 mechs, which is 9 lances, our exact complement (Bright, Reaper, Crusher, Dancer, Dunedain, Dragon, Freya, Ice, Kong, Midnight, and Skaraborg). Add in 5 unit reserve mechs, and individual lance spares for 53 mechs after Bright and Reaper depart with their 13 mechs..

No.

Mostly because if we had been going for an Overlord in the beginning of the campaign, we NEVER would have made it.  TN for an Overlord is something like an 18, vs a TN of ~13 for a Dictator.  That's the reason we tried to get a Dictator in the first place: it's the only battalion-sized transport which was at all feasible to get.

What are the chances we can retrofit some vee bays for mech cubes?

Mostly zero.  Two reasons:
1) As I mentioned, I can't modify DropShips in AtB.
2) I'm reasonably sure that ya'll don't want to give up a DropShip for ~2 years at a shipyard.  Modifying a DropShip is WAY different than modding a Mech.  Triumphs have (according to the TROs) a ton of "variants", but not "field modifications", if that makes sense.

warhammer
griffin
trebuchet
phoenix hawk - can swap for the enforcer if necessary bv cap allows

ostsol is back to stock and repaired as of 4/8 will not be using unless necessary will need time to convert hs to dhs as well add more, then swap in xl jj and extra weapons armor after contract if possible

plan to strip the other enforcer as well to sell if can get another fast medium for dedicated fire support (possibly a royal shadowhawk since thats worth keeping to throw as a dedicated autocannon brawler would like to swap the srms and ammo out for a couple more ml a flamer and armor)

may make purchase on black market for the crusader but might end up waiting until end of month considering possible salvage

Sorry about the long delay in readiness.  Still trying to make sure I have basic replacement parts.  By the end of May I should have parts on hand to fix anything other than head damage or replace an engine or gyro.  A spare cockpit and backup sensors will take a few more months as would a gyro separately.  A replacement engine's going to be out of my price range for a while.

If it is, Dunedain will as well. All factory moodifications are taking place on secondary mechs, so every pilot has a ride.

As I understand it, if you are doing training you can do repairs or customize mechs during that time. If you do you don't gain the xp bonuses for your unit.

Also to our Co. Brightlance ask me to pass on his request to train as well if possible.
Wolverine Lance will be working on mech upgrades.

Pending GM approval of training in a non-mission context, I will okay training for all lances that qualify. I don't know if "Training" exists outside of a contract since it is a lance assignment while contracted.

I know it came up that you couldn't train without a functional mech, so you couldn't customize the mechs your mechwarriors are piloting for training. I don't believe there is any codified proscription against training while the techs customize other mechs.

Javelin completes customization sometime in either late May or early June, but it doesn't especially matter and I don't want to do the math.  All that happened was CASE was added.

FYI, this has changed my monthly expenses.  I was paying about $55,000/month in operating costs and bringing in $95k in guaranteed income.

With the changes in salaries and maintenance costs, I am now paying ~$196,000/month in operating costs, which means I'm losing ~$100k/month when we don't work.  Given I have a LAM, that's almost certainly the highest unit operating cost, which means that most folks will likely be in the $75-95k range for loss/month.  Which makes all this just about right.

will be doing the retirement stuff tomorrow - will do part purchases dating 1/3 as well -

once 1 ton of ac20 ammo comes in I will reload the last bits of ammo so 30 min at most for that part then all mechs are 100% - I will hold off on customizing the griffin until we know if were going to a factory world...

if we go to a factory world I will end up possibly just popping case in there and maybe a little more armor - if not then it may get a serious overhaul depending on travel time

My stable is currently full; I'll be repairing the Orion to sell, and am scrapping the Crusader for parts.  I expect to a stable slot available again no later than 1/10/49 (taking extra time scrapping the Crud so I don't break any parts).

Random bit of in game RP catch up:

May 1st, 3046
Anastasia Jones Saltier (wife from THEMYSCIRA Mission 5) gave birth to Alexandra Saltier, a bouncing 3.5 kilo baby girl with the expected number of limbs and her mother's emerald green eyes.  Mother and child are doing fine and very happy to be leaving Thirty Weight and pirates behind.(The birth occurred during our transit to the jump point away from our pirate hunting on Thirty Weight ending SLAMMER.)

May 1st, 3047
ATTN: All Rangers.  Alexandra has gone from learning to walk, to learning to run. The little minx has also learned how door locks work. Anastasia is working on improving the child proofing of our quarters. Unfortunately, she's as clever of a little girl as we could ever have wished for and is determined to explore the world, all of it. If you hear giggling or other child-related noises where there shouldn't be a child, please apprehend the trouble maker and contact Anastasia. Incidentally, she has also finished teething, so the compound should be a bit quieter now. (THANK GOD!)

January 1st, 3048
I would like to thank Sgt Vardakan and Cpls Dowell and Muriu for their efforts in building the playground out on the south field. Alexandra is loving it and Anastasia has already expressed her appreciation of the picnic table (and the fence, lol). She has encouraged Alexandra to write thank you notes for your efforts. Several of the other parents in the unit have also expressed their gratitude for your efforts (and amusement at your "training" efforts).

May 1st, 3048
Alexandra's second birthday party will be today at 1900. The adults "surviving two years of Alexandra" party will be at 2100 or whenever Alexandra crashes, whichever comes first. I managed to source a couple of cases of beer, including a case of Timbiqui Dark, and some fine spirits. Alexandra's party will be at the picnic tables on the south field. The after party will be in the rec center. Rebecca has assured me the after party will be "memorable". Her smile when she says that sets off my incoming fire alarms...


(When Alexandra hits 18 she will become a 2/3 pilot and join the unit)

Deadly, you are aware that you will be without the services of Techs doing the customization job for the entire period it requires, right?  So since Rafel starts on 3/1, he cannot help with any technical tasks during the month of march, and during any future months, until the customization is complete.

(I'm fairly sure you DO know this, but this is a general reminder to all and sundry; it's easy to lose track of "who's doing what".)

Heavies can't have that quirk. We tried that once.
Some options:
Easy to Maintain - Cable runs and other parts were cleaned up and arranged better
Modular Weapons - Weapons were installed in a modular manner
Stable - Rearranging the weapons improved the balance of the mech
Stabilized/Accurate Weapon - The LB-10X was installed particularly well

Most of the rest don't seem particularly applicable since armor wasn't changed (Cowl, Extended Torso Twist, etc.) and weapons in the arms weren't changed (Barrel Fist, Fine Manipulators, Vestigal Hands) and nothing in the head changed (Improved Sensors, Improved Communications, Improved Targeting, etc.).

Question regarding the custom mech thread - do you want the custom mechs posted when the work is started or when the mechs are done? The Warhammer is being worked, but won't be available until July, so I hadn't posted it yet.  I can if that makes things easier.

The big issue is that if, for some reason, we need record sheets for some one's lance, we have one place to look. In this case, since we are going to get our butts kicked off of the planet in the next series of fights, just post it as soon as you get started. Post a completion date so we know when the mech is done.

Ok, added.  Completion date of July 17, 3049 included.  Given that we're only 2 missions in and have more than a year in game time before the Clans show up, I would expect we'll have at least one if not two more missions prior to their arrival.  Regardless, it's now current and will remain that way.

LT Mills doesn't have Melee Spec reflected in either AtB or the TO&E/ google doc.  Melee Spec is a prerequisite for Melee Master.  I DO see that you purchased Melee Spec as per the XP tracker on 12-1-3048; the other data needs to be updated.

Likewise, SGT O'Leary has a 4 piloting skill as per the Google Doc (skill level +4).  Piloting 3 is a prerequisite for Jumping Jack.  I DON'T have any Xp purchases besides Jumping Jack on the XP tracker, which means this isn't a legal purchase at this time.

For LTJG Mills was previously purchased melee spec  after one of  Bright Lance's training sessions. I missed not putting it in this thread. I am sorry.  After his solo mission Mills had the rest of the points needed to get melee master. We also missed that that jumping jacks needed 3 plt. I will remove that and see what Lucas wants to do.

OK, after all end-of-year XP rolls, Training, and so forth:

Leigh Montgomery buys Jumping Jack

There will be some customizations done to a couple mechs but will add the crusader to the list if not already done done

Ostsol and Crusader will be getting customizations and will be done before the 5/1 of 3050 done

There will be a few pilots with XP sitting for time being

Kelly Ross got just enough for weapon spec srm4 thanks to the MVP - she will spend the xp on weapon spec srm4 - 0 xp remaining
Constance Booth spends 10xp for fist fire - 6xp remaining

doc updated

Remaining things to do

finance stuff tomorrow for expenses and then to post the 4/1 - 7/1 purchase totals with cost and cbills remaining - then factor all the stuff up to 5/1/3050 - only ended up spending about 1 mil for parts so should be around 8 mil when its all said and done -
  I stand corrected I'm just over 10 mil 130k a month plus unit disbursement helps quite a bit

once thats done I will add the new mech to custom thread then replace the ostsol picture, recalc lance bvs and change configs

I still need to do repairs for Midnight.  What I can share now is that though I have 4 mechs, I won't be able to field all 4 at the same time as total BV is 6285.  Right now best case is 4800 - 5000 with 3 mechs.

It may be worth holding off on any permanent assignment of mechs until after Mission 5 and the contract is complete. It wouldn’t surprise me if at least one lance goes through two Clan missions if it’s randomly determined. Once BLC is factored in we can see where people sit.

Just a heads up, I talked to Ryan about what he wants his lance to become.  He’s planning to upgrade to a 4 mech lance after the end of the current and wants to follow more in Dan’s footsteps - lots of tons, weapons and armor, far less in the way of speed.  I wouldn’t expect him to stay in the Scout group.  :)

I wouldn’t rush to any conclusions yet.  Let’s wait until the end of the contract and see where we’re sitting.  We’ve got a BLC influx coming and the unit has over 50MM saved up in part with the expectation of taking significant losses with the Clans.  I’d figure out what role you want to work towards and as much as reasonably possible the unit should be able to help move you that direction.  If your goal is a Juggernaut or Brawler lance let’s see where things net out.
Title: Re: Communication To CO and GM for Lance Readiness and Changes
Post by: Hat on April 04, 2019, 08:32:03 PM
And the number of lances per official role (Scout / Fight / Defend) is going to vary by contract.  Midnight’s first role was Defend, and you’d never mistake any configuration I’ve played as being a Defend focus.  :)

Keep in mind that banked money for unit was for dropship so we kind of need that

Not even sure how that's going to work right now

When I talked to Jon, part of the reason for banking the money for the dropship was an excuse to build up a war chest against significant losses to the Clans.  I'm not suggesting that we spend most of the 50MM on replacements.  BLC for the contract is 40% and Salvage is 70%.  I'm not sure what salvage we're getting from the last Mission.  I expect we'll get nothing but losses from the final mission.  We have 2 'Mechs still in the unit reserve we can consider allocating as well.  We'll see what shape the unit is in after that.

after this game and contract I can agree there will be losses to fill since its the clans - I was just saying its going to be hard to fill the void that is the dropship fund - we will have to see who ends up with the co position since our CO now has died so I guess its up to the unit to decide the best use now for the dropship fund
Title: Re: Communication To CO and GM for Lance Readiness and Changes
Post by: Timberwolfd on April 05, 2019, 12:26:35 AM
The funds were intended for a dropship for the simple reason that no configuration of the unit will be transportable with all lances in mechbays until we have more mechbays. We have 36 bays, which means at most 9 lances can be drop ready. Since we have been growing, that poses a minor problem. Now losses are alleviating our over crowding problems, somewhat.  But it doesn't change the base math on transport.

As far as spending the money on replacement mechs, it will be very tempting to go "Yay! We have 50 million to buy mechs!" and spend it all. I would recommend against that for many reasons. Obviously, if a unit needs to be reconstituted, that is important, but go to Crazy Achmed's Quasit dealership instead of Five Diamonds Atlas II Emporium. Especially since you are likely to see a couple of more cycles of losses over the campaign.
Title: Re: Communication To CO and GM for Lance Readiness and Changes
Post by: Hat on April 05, 2019, 06:23:34 AM
unless things were truly dire I was not suggesting dipping deeply into unit reserves. We’ve been fortunate to avoid that so far and the lances involved in the final mission could take comparable losses to their units and still be viable. I’m not sure how much if at all we’ll need to dip in. Once we’re past the end of the contract, have settled all final dispersements and retirements we can make some decisions. Assuming the savings to be sancrosanct under all conditions isn’t appropriate either.

As a general consideration for everybody, be warned that mech prices will skyrocket with the invasion. So plan to be flexible and run non-ideal mechs. It would be a good idea to hoard a little wingman XP for class changes. You may not be able to get your hands on mechs that fit the classes you built your lances on. A pinch of prior planning will prevent pitiful and painful performance post purchase.

Javelin removed from roster

Kelly Ross - needs clarification - rules doc says a lance leader who would be killed can burn an edge. In the game you said she would be able to burn the edge in the cockpit of the atlas. I see however your Crusader pilot didnt burn an edge to stay alive. Was this a instance of one off due to the Atlas fiasco or was it misquoted and my pilot should be dead? Once I know the outcome of that I can either roll her lovely roll for symptoms or mark her off. This is not a lance leader

The papers were started when the remnants of the 8th and 2nd hit planet and.began the crazy stories about what happened although they didnt give much detail. The papers were filed once the engagement happened at the cadet grounds. The fact that multiple front line units were smashed plus the fact we were hit this hard is enough justification.

   I will be taking my warhammer (after repairs) with me but leaving the lance intact with funds. I have discussed it with my lance and I have asked them to stay to support the unit. The unit need as many bodies and mechs as possible right now. It's also not fair to them to take a pay cut and be bored to death. The merc life is a dangerous life but at least it pays well and is exciting usually. Anyway my friends it has been an honor to serve with you all. "

I sincerely apologize, but the rules document is correct.  Burning Edge is available for Lance Leaders only.  The rationale is that we aren't (and can't, without full RPG writeups for every wingman) track the medical statuses required, given the Serious Injury rules.  This means that Kelly Ross is in fact KIA.  Again, my sincere apologies for the confusion.

For everyone else: Xotl and I did not take this into account while working on the Breakthrough rules; Wingmen who burnt Edge to survive the Breakthrough rolls still survive, and are immune to the Serious Injury chance, for this singular, special case.  This has been noted for future revision for his next edition of the rules.

I agree that the dice roller has issues.  I needed 7 rolls to succeed, 5 at 7+, so 50/50 odds.  It took 17 rolls to get 5 rolls of 7 or better.

I agree that the dice roller has issues.  I needed 7 rolls to succeed, 5 at 7+, so 50/50 odds.  It took 17 rolls to get 5 rolls of 7 or better.

Counterpoint: several people's character creation rolls.

What the forum dice roller does (aside from occasionally hang up and never resolve the page), is it strings together results at the relatively far ends of the spectrum.  So normally you might notice a distribution similar to:

2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 7, 7, 7, 9, 10, 12

What we actually GET is closer to:

2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12

(Exaggerated somewhat for dramatic effect, but years ago one of our players, Brent, did a ~5000-roll test after getting mad about the dice roller, and this was the conclusion.  Middle rolls are underrepresented, extreme ends are overrepresented, and like results tend to string together to a higher degree than one would normally expect.)

Note that both of them end up with a roughly average result of ~7.  Which on a 2d6 is expected.  But what the forum roller does is avoids the middle (more often) and gives clustering on both extremes.  It additionally tends to generate strings to one extreme or the other, so if you've rolled a 4, your next roll is more likely to be something like a 2-7...but once you've broken that cluster and moved up to a 9, your next roll is more likely to be a 7-12.  This does perhaps cancel out on a large enough sample size, but one a sample size large enough to test, and with what we have available, it is what it is.

Move SRM Ammo to LT (120 minutes)
Move SRM to RT (120 minutes)
Move LT FF Crit to LA (120 minutes)
Remove Case (RT) (120 minutes)
Add 2 JJ LT (120 minutes)
Add 2 JJ RT (120 minutes)
Add JJ CT (60 minutes)
Install 4T Gyro (200 minutes)
Install 325 XL Engine (360 minutes)
Base TN: 5+, Factory -4, Customized: +1, Customization: +2, Class F: +4, Replacement mod: +1 (gyro, JJ), Final TN: 9+

Commander,

Skaraborg depleted its spare section inventory getting *one* Awesome up and running.  Due to battle damage, we actually stripped Awesome Kronwall of most parts to repair Awesome Oduya before the LCAF sent the Zeus and Thug over.  Because the Thug has PPCs which we were short of, the Thug was nominated to donate parts to Awesome Kronwall to repair it.

Thug will return to service after parts have been requisitioned and delivered.  It was determined having Awesome Kronwall up and running when we made landfall made more sense than base model Thug.


Also, since the ghost of commanders past seems to be haunting us - some explanation for it is in order.  The Thug that died on Somerset was an 11Eb model - this one referred to

We haven't actually executed the September marketplace yet.  If someone else puts in for the Atlas, I'll randomly determine who gets it.  Just wanted to be clear on expectations.

I just noticed I jumped the gun hard. I'll delete the posts if things change or I can do it now.

Don't worry about deleting the post unless Rob tells you to.  I don't expect things to change, just wanted to make sure it's clear that it's still available to go for if someone else wants.
