That sounds a lot better.

Means essentially clear terrain, with a few randomly placed copses of trees in stands of 1-4 hexes, plus a little bit of water.  Bascially, I'll be just flipping mapsheets over to "white" and placing terrain hextiles.

The Cataphract will be complete prior to both missions.
Cataphract: 5/8/5 12 ML. Lance Leader has weap spec and melee spec, along with night vision.
Grasshopper 4/6/4 4 ML, 2 LL, 1 PPC.
Vindicator 4/6/4 1 PPC, 2 LRM-5, 1 SL.
Cicada 7/11/7 4 ML. I added an extra ton of armor in place of the flamer to be harder to kill.

i mean the only real objective is escape right?

It is (recalling the pause at the far edge of the board, of course).


Scenario says reach north edge...not exit map on [at] north edge. ;)

Mini time.

I can provide the following highlighted vehicles and sheets.  Now as previously noted in game dates thread, I will be late to the game.  However Mike [Ad Hoc] will bring my lance and the following to the game.  Mike [Ad Hoc] will run my forces until I get there [no later than 1:30] and I will share the lance with him for the remainder of the game.  Please also let Mike run St. Ives liaison Shadow Hawk.

I can add a Pixie, urbanmech, and the remaining Hetzers. I'll check my assembly cache for tanks, I think I picked up a horde of scorpions on my last IWM run....

Further silly question for Rob:
How fast do we need to be moving off of the board?
Dragging or carrying a mech reduces you speed how much?

It is pretty odd that the Po tank is not even on saw. Either way, I did print out the Heavy Metal Vee version of the sheets. I can print more if need be.

I've just made a few vehicles in SAW and then checked it against the TRO and RS. It's generally a matter of people not really having a way to submit their files back into the SSW/SAW system.

The Pegasus was in SAW but minus the turret.  I fixed that and printed them.  The Warriors also suffered from fractional accounting issues.  Now 9/14 instead of 10/15.

Rob, please reroll terrain.

I am thinking of ice lance for their jump jets and more armor punching weapons.  
"Wooded
Some trees"

Mike, you have 1 more reroll left.  Do you want to use it or can I go ahead and finish writing out the scenario?

FYI: Currently the Weather is Moderate Snowfall.  This incurs the Thin Snow condition starting on Turn 10.  As per the rule on TacOps page 52, the underlayment of the Thin Snow will be Ice, regardless of the hex type (ie, a Clear hex will still be iced over).  An Ice Hex which isn't covering water requires a Mech jumping into it to make a PSR at a +4 penalty (TacTops pg 50) or fall (the ice cannot be broken through unless there's water underneath it).  Note that this PSR stacks with the +3 Piloting Skill penalty for the Storm condition.

I suggest reroll weather because that total +7 piloting roll for jumping will really hender the PC's forces.

Also, has it been decided who is the reinforcement Lance?

Are you sure about the underlying terrain?  I read it as players may agree to choose ice or clear terrain.
