The Ostsol is marginally faster when running than the Firestarter but is a heavy mech that could otherwise be engaging the enemy.

I like the assumption here, that a max armor MASC Ostsol has weapons.  Just for the record, if all my weapons hit I am incapable of causing a PSR. 

It can still kick and charge much harder than a Firestarter.

I was going to work with him on Sat and/ Sun. He can order all the DHS 9-1 they arrive 9-22. Start removing SHS as soon as we take off and put DHS on starting 9-22. Have roughly 142 days - weekends there should be at least 100 work days per tech during trip. 3 techs should  give min of 300 work days. He shouldn't have any trouble getting parts unless he rolls all 2's. Plus under new rules if he fails TN roll on custom he still succeeds but takes an additional double the time , if I'm reading it correctly.

Just remembert to order more than you need because you're likely to not get some of them.

Also, could you break down the math if he's "only failing on 2s"?  Because DHS start at a TN 10.

Advanced Tech parts, weapons, and Equipment (3044-3055): 10+

 I see he has Well-connected (+1 bonus) and he has a +2 Scrounge bonus.  He should be rolling on 7+s, which means that ~40-45% of his rolls should fail...which means if he actually needs 10 DHS minimum, he should try to order about 15.  Of course, he'll still have to pay for all 15 if he gets them all.

1. I missed that DHS where advanced tech.
2. I confused my scrounge with his. (Problem of trying to do my stuff and help him in a time crunch. )
3. Plus I thought the more well-connected he had the lower the TN went.

So in short I'm the problem. If I wold have realized during his character creation that well-connected was only a +1 bonus no matter what he would have done something different with his 2 trait points and probably a little different with the skill points. But that done. So I will have him roll on TN 7

Let's get  the player lances finalized so we can start with minis sheets and general check in for the game.

So far, we have 3 player lances with Kong and Bright lances assigned to the mission and one TBD reinforcement lance.

On the OpFor side we have 17 units:
3x Wolverine
3x Hermes II
3x Scorpion Light Tank
2x Phoenix Hawk
2x Trebuchet
1x Orion
1x Griffin
1x Packrat LRPV
1x Firestarter

No worries.  He still does get more money each month for having a higher level of the Trait.

Re: Advanced Tech.  Yeah, anything higher than IntroTech is Advanced.  I know that that term stacks with the Advanced Rules Level, but honestly we're basically out of terms in the English langage to describe the number and types of various technical levels in BattleTech.   So ERPPCs, DHS, F/F armor - basically anything past 3025-era is Advanced tech.  I'd figured that in context it was clear what "Advanced" meant, because the only other types of "Tech" available were IntroTech (which DHS are definitely not), and ClanTech.

Trebuchet
Trebuchet
Hermes II

I'm bringing the following minis painted in Olive drab:
x3 Vedette (Scorpion Proxy)

x1 Wolverine
x2 Phoenix Hawk

I'm bringing the following mini in tan for your Canopian Ally:

I'm bringing the following minis in Blue & bone for John:
Firestarter
Thunderbolt
EDIT: Also, I literally JUST realized that these minis have been sitting on my desk for literally 4 weeks waiting to get picked up...and I completely forgot to paint the "bone" on them.  F*ck.

As usual, someone else needs to print record sheets.  Also, with all the customizing going on recently, remember to print out updated versions of your Mech sheets, with all Quirks and SPAs written on the sheets.  You'll play with what's there on Saturday; we aren't waiting for anyone to run home and print anything new.

So much material for jokes here...

On the minis side of things about the only minis I have for the OpFor are a cobra commander Phoenix Hawk and a not so boned (heh) blue and bone Firestarter that would probably be more confusing to use than it's worth. So, with the Phoenix Hawks covered I can't contribute much to the minis side of things this time.

Rob, I too have screwed up on dhs acquisition rolls.

Any word from Bryan? He's the last player lance leader who hasn't chimed in.

[Ad Hoc]

Logan will be there as well.

...nobody bothered to purchase Smoke LRM/SRM rounds, did they?  Availability is 2333 and they never went extinct according to my un-errated PDF of TacOps.

I have now, but I had not when we left the planet. So they won't arrive until after this game.

Yeah, I have, like, a single LRM-5, so I didn't think about it earlier until it would be really helpful to have them.
