so what your saying is essentially they could end up with a bunch of little things or nothing at all? i mean the asf if that is the case would help a lot especially on any rear hits from the bombs if they hit or even hitting in general

also at what point can an asf be salvaged

It's even more one sided than that due to damage thresholds, the Stingrays won't have nearly as many crit rolls against them as they inflict on the lighter ASFs.

[Ad Hoc]

As for reinforcement for next 2 missions. I say but in 2 extra lances this mission. As for the ASF's, if fog is in play won't they be limited for ground attacks once they clear the air of enemy fighters.

For the second mission like Rob said, would probably depend on who is in the best shape to respond. Reaper would have 3 fully repaired to insert if needed, I know it isn't the full lance, but it could make the difference.

[Black Omega]

As reinforcements, Dancer can get there on turn 6.

[Timberwolfd]

I can provide the following minis
Allied Hunchback
Warhammer
Orion
Bombardier
Trebuchet x1
Wolverine

I can add:
Rifleman
Cobra Commander (P. Hawk)
a bug
Misc. vees, proxies for the Maxims and Saracens (I don't have 3 of the same tracked tank to proxy the scorpions with the same mini, but I can bring regulators as proxies if no one has a better option)

That leaves the following mechs still unspoken for:
Falcon
2x Hermes II
Trebuchet

I have 2 semi painted hermes and a base coated treb...i have a maxim and 2 saracens

Minis (bold = unclaimed minis):
Hunchback - ItsTehPope

Warhammer - ItsTehPope
Rifleman - TimberwolfD
Orion - ItsTehPope
Bombardier - ItsTehPope
Stinger - TimberwolfD
Falcon
Trebuchet - ItsTehPope
Phoenix Hawk - TimberwolfD
Maxim - Ice
Maxim

Wolverine - ItsTehPope
Hermes II - Ice
Hermes II - Ice
Trebuchet
Saracen - Ice
Saracen - Ice
Scorpion

I will bring proxies for the Falcon, Maxim, Trebuchet and Scorpions if no one claims them.
Now we need to bring sheets. I will bring the vehicle sheets.
I have printed the sheets.

Also, directions would be nice.

[Black Omega]

I've got a Trebuchet.

I also will bring proxy's for the rest.

[ItsTehPope]

Please PM me if you need directions to my house.

[Darrian Wolffe]

Rerolls complete.  Got everything we wanted, really.



Add OPFOR Units: x2 SPD-502 Spad (5/4 pilots).  No external ordnance.  (Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade, pp. 228-229)


North Edge

South Edge

Low-Altitude Maps:
North Edge

South Edge
Hex Elevation levels on L-A Map counts for Altitude and therefore deconstructive lithobraking

OPFOR Deploy: Along North Edge
PC Deploy: Along South board edge
OPFOR Reinforcements enter: Turn 5, on any edge of any North Map
PC Reinforcement enter: on any edge of any South Map
PC Air Deploy: along West edge of L-A Map; Alt 6, Vel 6
OPFOR Air Deploy: along North Edge of East Map, Alt 6, Vel 6

PCs Victory Conditions:
1) Keep more than 4 units non-destroyed (50% of 2 starting lances).  Cripples are alive as long as they can expend MP.
2)  Cripple or Destroy at least 5 OPFOR units
3) Keep any OPFOR units from exiting the south board edge

OPFOR Victory Conditions:
1) Cripple or Destroy at least 5 Player units
2) Keep more than 5 units non-destroyed (50% of 10 starting units).  Cripples are alive as long as they can expend MP.
3) Exit at least 1 non-crippled unit weighing at least 65 tons from the south board edge.

**FWL Vehicle units use normal abandoment rules; see Rules PDF***

**FWL forces will not fire on ejected PCs unless the PC has fired on them (while ejected) in a previous turn.**

**Reminder, exiting the battlefield requires you to spend 1 full turn stationary against the board edge (ie, not spending any MP)**

[Timberwolfd]

Well, Spads hit that 80% of BV nicely with about as heavy a loadout as will fit. Should be a good fight.

So, cluster the Maxims into oblivion before they flank across the board...

And be very happy they have to stop for 1 turn to get off the board.

It's only the heavy Mechs that have to cross and exit the board; 65+ tons.  With that said, yes, having Maxims drive infantry up into our faces would suck.

FYI, I've packed both Maxims, 3 Vedettes (ie, Scorpions), the Canopian Hunchback Mech, the aerospace for us and the OPFOR, and have some Marik-painted Mechs all packed.  I don't have a Falcon, nor can I recall ever even seeing its mini in the wild.  I also have the aerospace record sheets (both sides) and the Canopian Hunchback record sheet printed (just in case).

I will be getting to Dan's ~9:30-9:45 to help clean up the play area and get things set up.  Folks are welcome to start rolling in ~10am; our start time wil be 10:45.  I don't have an explicit stop time for this one, but I expect to go a little later than normal, if for no other reason than people will have to leave to go get food.  There's a truly huge variety of food places less than 5 minutes from his place, but it'll still take longer than normal to cycle through lunch.  

[Timberwolfd]

The OpFor victory condition is to get heavies across the board, but the PCs victory condition is to prevent ANY unit from crossing the board. So PCs still need to nail the Maxims to maintain the VC.

Per Dan's PM to me on directions

There's a triathalon happening that weekend, so coming in from Tylersville is NOT advised - you're better off coming approaching through US42. (See link below)

what link?

also the 75 exit to tylersville should be open per the info from local media so the route there i would think might be slow but available. so leaving early is a good thing at that point knowing this now

[Timberwolfd]

The link was to a map that included his address showing where to turn off of US 42. I didn't want to include it on the open board, but forgot to delete the text.

Errata: Add the word "scoring" between "OPFOR" and "Units" under PC Victory Conditions, Item 3.

[Black Omega]

I will bring 2 Spad micro fighters.

[ItsTehPope]

Ice, you live an exit down the road.  I may just grab you on my coffee run.

Cox will be shut down between tylersville and liberty and that stretch is amusing on a good day.  It could possibly cause some wacky backups
