Quick question on placement - the middle of the map is a partial hex on all 4 maps. Is that hex 1 when counting (so 4 hex radius around it) or does it not count and so a 5 hex radius around it?

[deadlyfire2345]

Looks like it will be a full hex of its own. There are enough lines between the 4 maps to make a hex.

Quick summary now, detailed write up with pictures later.

End result: Complete OpFor victory
Midnight:
Wolverine (CO) - Cored, destroyed, pilot badly injured, auto ejected on ground due to SRM ammo explosion after CT and engine destroyed in failed desperate DFA.   Alive and returned to the unit.
PHawk (XO) - both legs destroyed, right arm destroyed, XO voluntarily left mech as a sacrifice to try and save CO given his unwillingness to leave a man behind.
Clint - Cored, destroyed, pilot returned to the unit.
PHawk - mostly armor damage, internal LA

Current functional mechs remaining in Midnight: 2 (Untouched Vindicator, damaged PHawk)
Midnight pilots remaining: 4

OpFor:
Jenner (legged)
Hussar (cored)
5 Mechs untouched, 5 Mechs lightly damaged.

For the record it was a fun challenging game, just one heavily stacked against me.  Bryan did an excellent job with tactics, assisted for a while by Ryan.

Note: Added current Warehouse for record (pre-Ambush)

Ouch looks like we get a rescue mission

If I realized rescue missions were possible the XO might not have sacrificed herself.  My impression was pilots would be killed. Oh well. Makes for a better story I suppose.

Yea, that's what I was saying at the beginning about how a pilot could just remain in the cockpit of a dead mech and not get fired upon, and then get captured. The issue with that was that your CO had that quirk, so that made everything more difficult.

[Hat]

No worries. The CO wasn’t going to leave anyone behind, that’s for certain. That’s why it was unfortunate the Clint got taken out on board edge as he was trying to exit. Otherwise the CO cot have made the attempt as well rather than the DFA trying to break free. Net result would still almost certainly been the same given he was under fire from the Charger, custom Panther, Wasp, 3 Stingers and something else.  If the XO had sat tight in her cockpit, the Wolverine would certainly have been destroyed anyway and may have killed the CO in the process. Still waiting to confirm his status.

While painful, it’s still good that there was a cost for taking the negative quirk. There was certainly a benefit for taking it.

[Hat]

Updated information to reflect the clarification from Rob that my CO and pilot weren’t captured.
