Sorry I just checked back, is that saying there's an f4 tornado on the battlefield!?

What are the rules for that that sounds awesome!

Mechs: ’Mechs cannot run, and apply a +5 modifier to all
Piloting Skill Rolls; apply only a +2 modifier when crawling (see p.
18). Only Pulse and Direct-Fire Energy weapons can be used, but
apply a +3 to-hit modifier.

Typically, tornado just means mission is a no-go. My guess is that Rob didn't notice it, and will either manually reroll weather for you or cancel the mission.

Not necessary. Just going to suck for all parties in. Although with the possible urban area, just means more numbers to monitor since we do keep track of building damage. Would be a longer game than normal.
With daylight and clear weather aside from the tornado, its just the penalties for the 4+ strength tornado. Planetary conditions do allow for this to happen.

Oh I am 110% fighting in the tornado. That is metal as hell

Sure this means I can't bring the crusader or the madcat mkii, as they're just fancy paperweights with their gear being almost exclusively missiles and gauss weaponry, but my thunderbolt and firestarter will be able to throw down while the dragoon and battlemaster will have a harder time of it.

I'm not even going to swap weapons for this, it fits perfectly story wise for my commander to take advantage of the winds picking up and a lot of the clanner tech stops working. Even if it means I'll be down my gauss and lb-10x's.

Half of the Opfor mechs are neutered by the tornado.

Unfortunately my next couple weekends are filled up for getting this in.

This weekend is my 30th so I'll be celebrating with family, if plans change I *might* be able to squeeze it in on saturday but no guarantees.

And the 40k group I DM for has the 31st claimed. So I need to be there for that. I'm free during the day M,W,Th,F, and could do a Tuesday evening. So the 27th in the evening is the soonest I could confidently be open, but I understand that saturdays work better for everyone. So Feb 7th is probably the idea time for me.
