Took me a bit since I was looking up the wrong words to find the right page.

[Timberwolfd]

Rob, out of curiosity, why is our Mobile HQ listed as 4/8? It has a regular driver and regular gunners, shouldn't it be 4/5? Or is there somepenalty for MHQs?

Also, in Freya's mission thread, I posted some statistics for landing PSRs if weather and light come into play. I don't think we can make things quite so bad for them here, but wind could sure mess with these guys.

Um....because somehow only Judite Di was assigned to it in AtB, defaulting to the Driver position.  Double-checked the TO&E and it's fixed now.

A Piloting Skill Roll for landing that fails by more than 7 means the unit is automatically destroyed.

Does this mean the mech would be unsalvageable? Or does this mean it's "destroyed" as a mission kill, but we would apply the damage and it would possibly be available for salvage if not cored?

lets reroll weather and see what pops up.

this is a good question as the great turtle debate continues

 "It cant possibly survive a kick out of a dropship from space...can it?"..... "hold, my beer"

Is there even a way to have a pilot fail by 7 or more if jumping is just a straight PSR plus weather/light conditions?

Their jumping force has 2 7 pilots and a 6. If light and weather adds at least a +2, then the 7s can crater on snake eyes. Even if they don't crater, they take a fall of MoF levels. It's an accidental fall, so it could be really painful if the orientation is bad.

[deadlyfire2345]

So the landing roll occurs at the end phase, would damage also factor in?

It can depending on how you abuse the rules

[Timberwolfd]

I believe so. It would be a PSR modifier and they would have an opportunity for falling from damage.

[deadlyfire2345]

That's true.

[Darrian Wolffe]

Not unless you damage in the End Phase.  Damage doesn't transfer from phase to phase.

Yes, it's unsalvageable.

Reroll weather please.

[Darrian Wolffe]

Reroll weather please.

When I get home.
