Solo Mission - Recon Ambush (Midnight) - 12/20/3046
« on: October 08, 2018, 10:53:31 PM »

I've been considering whether or not to let this one go through, but I think that it's an interesting enough scenario to be worthwhile.

Obviously, the "Four Random MechWarriors" are actually your Lance Leader and THREE random MechWarriors from your lance, since your lance leader always takes part in scenarios.

Ok, as I'll be taking 4 of my 5 pilots & mechs, let's find out who's getting left behind.

1. SGT Leonara Hardesty - Phoenix Hawk
2. SGT Penny Roark - Clint
3. SGT Miles Lassiter - Vindicator
4. SGT Getta Milos - Phoenix Hawk

Rolled 1d4 : 3, total 3


First reroll is map size.  Company on a lance on a 30x30 is going to be ugly.

So, Wolverine, Pixie, Pixie, Clint.  It'll be interesting.  I'll be curious to see what shape I'm in for the mission 5 days later.  Let me know how the map looks, thinking lighting might be next.

One other question - how long is a game like this likely to run?  Trying to figure out how to schedule.  Thanks.

Couple things:

1) Can't reroll map size on basically all solos.  No checkbox.  This is a fixed-size, 2x2 map.

2) With that in mind, let me know if you want to reroll light.  Of the mechs listed, the Locust will have a searchlight (the little nub over its head sometimes gets drawn as a light, though after 3050 it's usually an AMS barrel), and the Charger MIGHT.  I have to go poke around.

3) If you can make it down here to play sometime, you and I can probably bang this game out in a couple hours.  If you're playing with someone else, that'd change, obviously.

I can also Hammer that out Inna couple hours as well

Sorry it was late. I was thinking single map not 2x2. Reroll light please.

It will be ironic if you get midnight for lighting.

Not ironic, apropos. :)  The intent is to be good at operating in the dark, just haven’t gotten the XP to reflect it yet.

Usually.  Best to figure out how to deal with it.

Light again please.  Also, best day for me is a Wednesday after work.  Depending on how I work things that could be as early as 4:30 or later as needed.  Would that work?

Dan, thanks.  Rob also offered, so I'm curious about his availability as well.

If the second roll comes back daylight use the third roll on lighting as well.
