You can't make CBT rules up sometimes. Turret fires at you, then scuttles to a new location on the building.

Eh, I'm OK with it, because it requires the shooter to make a choice.  Shoot the easier-to-hit building with (usually) more capacity to take damage, or shoot the somewhat harder to hit turret with less ability to soak the damage it does take?  That's a meaningful choice, and forcing players to make choices is what makes good game design.  With a 3 gunner, turrets were basically autohit from a running Mech at medium range on inwards, and that's pretty silly too.  Since there's no way for the turret to gain an attacker movement modifier, it's still easy to hit the things.  Just not basically automatic.

Anyway, almost all the sheets are printed.  I'm having a hard time tracking down the TW-compliant record sheets for the standard infantry types; all I can find are the weird infantry from TRO3085.

It looks like the RS 3085 Magistracy of Canopus Foot Infantery sheet is very vanilla foot infantry, likewise with the periphery/pirate jump infantry.

Acknowledged.

Dan, If you want the Highlander, she's yours for the mission.

Also, anyone who hasn't voted in the attendance poll or who needs to update their attendance, please do so ASAP. If you have drop port maps please indicate if you will be bringing them per Rob's request up thread.

I have packed a Centurion, and I have a pair of Firestarter Proxies (Valkyrie and Spector in Davion Guard colors).  IIRC, I don't have any quad Mechs AT ALL, so I can't get a reasonable Scorpion proxy, though.

[Timberwolfd]

I have some quads.

Ok, confirmed that my RSVP is correct (No), so no update there. I wish we were able to make it. Sounds like it should be a good one.  Looking forward to hearing how it all worked out.

[ItsTehPope]

I own two firestarter, one is painted.

[Black Omega]

I believe I have a Bulldog [just one though].

I understand a full write up will be coming later, but for those of us not present, what's the quick take for the PCs - win, lose or draw?

PC win.  Several Lance's are in pretty bad shape.

Sad to say, my lance was the only one that had very minimal damage, mech or pilot.

[Timberwolfd]

My Firestarter caught the worst of it in my lance, but my other three mechs only took moderate to heavy armor damage. Skaraborg lance really took it on the chin. Kong lance had a good send off from the Capellans with requisite chewing. Freya lance took damage, with some real hits.

Actually the chin is the only thing that wasn't hit or destroyed on the two survivors

I know we do not have the space for transit at this time, could we get a specific date on leave so players can decide what mechs go where for repairs, customs, etc.?
