I've changed the PC victory conditions.  Upon further review, the previous version makes the scenario unreasonably difficult.

Thank you.

I was seeing who would make the sacrifice XD

Reaper's Griffins and Shadow Hawk are about the only mechs in the unit with a non-zero chance mathematically. They could jump from 1407 to 0909. They have standard engines and the highest rear armor of mechs in the unit with a 5/8/5 profile and standard engines. Even then, the chances would be very low. From 0909 to depth 1 is 4 hexes at 5 mp per hex and a PSR. So if a 1 was rolled each time on the rear armor, the mech would be flooded in both side torsos when it stepped out of the water, but alive.

My Crusaders have more rear armor so they could tolerate a 2 or so, but with XL engines, they would statistically die even more quickly.

Has there been a decision on Lance 3

Was originally going to be Crusher until further review had Skaraborg into consideration prior to VP conditions changing. My assumption would be Skaraborg due to Crusher being late to the game and the others in defense or scout will not attend the first game.

Yeah, I guess it is Skaraborg by default then.

The last resort option would be dragon. I dont mind doing it, but would be a huge gamble with my mission the next day.

Remember that all Scout lances are in the field, so repairs will take longer or be harder (or both...). So Dragon would potentially be in significant difficulty managing repairs just before a solo mission. From my perspective, Skaraborg is the best choice. The destroy requirement will be fulfilled by kicking both of a mech's legs, which 80 tonners will do quite nicely. It looks like the Wolverine and the Crab are the only mechs that can take 2 80T kicks to a leg without losing the leg.

Dragon is in defense. I should not be affected by it I dont think. According to your lance layout unless it changed recently.

My bad, I was working from memory without caffeine.

What is Skaraborg looking like at this time or up to this date?

Two Awesome and a Thug if you want the full brick.  I can.go a little lighter and drop one Awesome for a Ost and maybe a PHX

[deadlyfire2345]

Might be best to put Skaraborg in then.

I'm not the one running this. Its hats call. Just making a suggestion.

Ok, Skaraborg as reinforcements.  As to what to bring, probably better to bring the 3 assaults.
