What's Twitch?

sarcasm or no sarcasm?

if yes then shame on you

Hey, fuck you.

if not its a streaming website

I don't have a SnatchChat, Twatter, or InstaCracker account either.  I'm just fine not video taping every part of my life and sharing it with everyone else.

*googles*

Oh.  Video game streaming.  That would explain it.  I don't do multiplayer videogames anymore (the last one was playing L4D2 with Dan), my newest game is Alien:Isolation (2014), and I have no interest in watching other people play games when I could be playing them myself.  I get plenty of milage out of single-player games: Skyrim, Mount & Blade Warband, Alien:Isolation, Civ5, HBS's BattleTech Beta, MegaMek/Against the Bot, L4D2, Rule the Waves!, and a whole mess of assorted historical wargames (usually hex-based and set between 30 Year's War and American Civil War).

 

There's actually a pretty decent amount of wargaming that happens on Twitch - I streamed a large portion of last years Warmachine WTC and several games from Lock n Load and Adepticon.

Some questions on the mission.
1. Do the Civilians have a map exit edge or do they have to stay on the map area and stay alive until end of round 12?

2. What is the map size? 2, 4, or 6 maps?

3. What maps are Savanah?

4. Flatland maps are pretty open terrain correct? No hills and only a few trees correct?

5. What is the deployment like? Who is first and where is everything deployed?

6. I see there is 3 rerolls available, is it my choice to use them or not, and on what? Because depending on answers to the above I might want to reroll a couple of things.

Rob
I want to do this mission. Would you be available Fri Sept 29 around 4 or 5pm? Or, Sat 30 around 10 or 10:30am? I would like to meet at Scifi City or Nostalgia Ink near Dan's so it is between us in distance (I think we are close to 2 hrs apart). If not, I won't be able to play until late Oct or early Nov.

I don't think my boys are going to come. If we play the Fri evening I know they won't because I will be coming from work.

I can probably do the 30th.  I *KNOW* I can't do the 29th (I'm running my RPG group's first session of "Pendragon" that night).  I have an ice hockey game at 4pm Saturday, so I'll have to leave the game ~3pm no matter what.  With that said, with the size of the game, you and I likely get it to a point of decision by then.

I'd prefer using either Dan's house or Nostalgia Ink on Saturday if you can't come to my place; those are both closer to the hockey rink and might give me an extra ~10 minutes of spare time.

[Ad Hoc]

Sat the 30th would fine. Looks like Nostalgia Ink doesn't open until 11 though. So if Dan is ok with it, we can play at his house. Maybe we could plan to start around 10 if that is ok with you and Dan. Not sure, but Lucas might want to come to.

Rob are we going to try to play on the 30th and where do you want play?

1. Do the Civilians have a map exit edge or do they have to stay on the map area and stay alive until end of round 12?
Stay on and stay alive.

2. What is the map size? 2, 4, or 6 maps?
Assuming no rerolls, 2x2.  Just barely; if it was a 30x20 map, I'd do a 2x1 setup (long edges touching).

3. What maps are Savanah?
Assuming no rerolls, mostly open terrain maps, desert hills or crater maps, or classic BT maps.

4. Flatland maps are pretty open terrain correct? No hills and only a few trees correct?
See above.  Assuming no rerolls.

5. What is the deployment like? Who is first and where is everything deployed?
...c'mon, man.  The deployment locations are in the scenario image in the first post, the same places they've been in literally every scenario image post I've put up so far.  OPFOR starts CTR, Allies and Civvies start E, and player starts W.  Specific deployment doesn't get written until after we've finished with any rerolls, because it can mess with the map size (and deployment depth is tied to map size).

6. I see there is 3 rerolls available, is it my choice to use them or not, and on what? Because depending on answers to the above I might want to reroll a couple of things.
Yes, they're your choice.  There are 5 little boxes next to game conditions; each of those can be rerolled.

7. Rob are we going to try to play on the 30th and where do you want play?
Yes we are (I couldn't confirm that until tonight), and if Dan is OK with it we can play at his house.  Dan, you cool with us coming by ~10am?  If it's just Mike (ie, kids don't show up) and he's OK with it, you can run the Ally and Civvies.

Sorry I have missed the start locations in all of the scenarios, because I have always just done the quick skim and once I see the title of force, I would move on to what was in it. Now I know better.

I will think over what I would like to reroll ,if anything, today. I will try and post later today or early tomorrow what I want to do.

And if Dan is ok with us coming over, he is welcome to join in the game. Not sure yet if boys are joining us or not yet. 

[ItsTehPope]

I can host on the 30th.  PM to follow.

Also, I dont have enough time to set up a twitch livestream rig - but for future solo missions I can probably pull it off.

 Before I request rerolls I have a question. Am I able to reroll a reroll?

[Darrian Wolffe]

Before I request rerolls I have a question. Am I able to reroll a reroll?

Yeah, absolutely.  As long as you have rerolls left.

[Ad Hoc]

I would like for serious suggestions on my plan about rerolls.
1. Reroll map size to get larger area to give the vehicles room to maneuver. If it gets smaller, reroll again.
2. Reroll weather to try and get something to affect all the missiles the enemy forces have since my force is more laser based.
3.If I have rerolls left, reroll maps to try and get some maps with more terrain for cover for the vehicles.

I will post official rerolls on Sunday.

I would suggest the order 3, 1, 2.  Vees being level one lets you hide them easily, and at least the hover-tank will disintegrate if fired upon.  More room is nice, but I feel the cover is better.

Isn't 2 going to cut your Griffins' firepower in half? Also, a lot of the WCs really screw vehicle mobility. You wouldn't want to freeze the hovers in place. Although it would be hilarious to get pitch black...

3 seems like a better investment since your entire force jumps (doesn't it?) and if you can get hills/mountains/heavy urban...

I believe MM assigns map size at least a little by force sizes, so I would be interested in Rob chiming in on the chances of actually getting a larger map. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find out this is already a large map for the battle size involved.
