Torso twists might be important to resolve first, but I'll do them all at once

Mongoose
Torso twist: -> none

Spider
Torso twist: -> none

Hermes
Torso twist: -> S

Whitworth
Torso twist: -> none

[hive_angel]

Assassin
Torso twist -> NW

Enforcer
Torso twist -> NW

Grasshopper
Torso twist -> None

Zeus
Torso twist -> N

Can the Enforcer and the Mongoose see eachother? LOS seems to be right on the line between

[sentinemodo]

yes, they can see each other. the exact in the middle would be 0702. I've choosen this point, to be able to shoot him in the back, and I have one or two MP left, if you see it otherwise to change the move. but IMO there is a LOS through 0604. assuming you agree, shooting:

Mongoose
LOS: -> Enforcer, clear LOS, range 3 hexes
Weapons:
3 x medium laser
G4 +2 running +0 short range +2 defense = 8
sentinemodo:2D6 → 11(5 +6)#medium laser @8 HIT
sentinemodo:2D6 → 7(5 +2)#medium laser @8 miss
sentinemodo:2D6 → 5(2 +3)#medium laser @8 miss

sentinemodo:2D6 → 9(5 +4)#medium laser hit location -> LT (rear) -> 5 damage (armor destroyed, 2 points into internal structure) -> LL 5 dam
sentinemodo:2D6 → 5(3 +2)#critical hit chance -> no critical hit

1 x small laser
G4 +2 running +4 long range +2 defense = 12
sentinemodo:2D6 → 2(1 +1)#small laser @12 miss

Heat: 0 -> Running 2 + Medium lasers 3 x 3 + Small laser 1- Heat sinks 10 -> 2

Spider
Target: -> none

Hermes
LOS: Grasshopper, clear LOS, range 5 hexes
Target: -> none (weapons mounted on Torso only, forgot about it during move)
Heat: 6 -> Running 2 - Heat sinks 11 -> 0

Whitworth
LOS: Enforcer, clear LOS (through 0405), range 11 hexes
2 x LRM 10
G3 -1 Feels alone enough + 3 jumped + 2 medium range + 2 defense = 9
sentinemodo:2D6 → 11(6 +5)#LRM10 @9 HIT
sentinemodo:2D6 → 6(4 +2)#LRM10 @9 miss

sentinemodo:2D6 → 9(6 +3)#LRM10 number of rockets -> 8 rockets
sentinemodo:2D6 → 2(1 +1)#LRM10-5 hit location -> LT (critical) -> 5 dam CT (critical) -> 5 dam
sentinemodo:2D6 → 6(1 +5)#LRM10-3 hit location -> LL -> 3 dam RL -> 3 dam

sentinemodo:2D6 → 9(6 +3)#critical hit chance on LRM -> 1 critical hit
sentinemodo:1D6 → 2(2)#critical hit location reroll -> 2 (after few rerolls, because I've rolled above 3) -> heat sink destroyed -> engine hit

Heat: 0 -> Jumping 4 + LRM-10 4 + LRM-10 4 - cooling 11 -> 1
Ammo: LRM10 -> 20 out of 24 left

EDIT: corrected per discussion below, added heat and ammo

Couple of details

Enforcer ended movement facing SW and torso twisted NW. The Mongoose would be hitting the right side and not the rear. The Whitworth would still be hitting the front.

2 on front location is a critical hit to the center torso. Despite torso twist from SW to NW, the hot would still use front location.
Of your rolls in the log
The first roll of 5 would make the critical fall into the second area
The second roll of 6 would cause a re-roll
The third roll of 4 would have punched through to my engine

Please check your hit against my remarks.
The engine hit won't effect the Enforcer' shooting as I figure I would be shooting at two different targets if I could get the shots lined up.

Couple of details

wouldn't call them details ;) just more confirmation on my rustiness. I lived under impression, that left is divided into front-left and rear left, not front on left ;) but still, take a look at TW pg. 99.

’Mechs: A ’Mech can twist its torso one hexside (60 degrees)
to the left or right of the direction in which its feet are pointing.
This new alignment modifi es a ’Mech’s upper body fi ring arc
as described in Firing Arcs, p. 104, but for movement and hit
location purposes the ’Mech is still considered to be facing in
its pre-twist direction.

by this, the mongoose hit on rear and whitworth hits on front.

Enforcer ended movement facing SW and torso twisted NW. The Mongoose would be hitting the right side and not the rear. The Whitworth would still be hitting the front.

2 on front location is a critical hit to the center torso. Despite torso twist from SW to NW, the hot would still use front location.
Of your rolls in the log
The first roll of 5 would make the critical fall into the second area
The second roll of 6 would cause a re-roll
The third roll of 4 would have punched through to my engine

Please check your hit against my remarks.
The engine hit won't effect the Enforcer' shooting as I figure I would be shooting at two different targets if I could get the shots lined up.

that means moongose's laser hit on left leg (9 from front/rear) no internal damage
and whitworth rockets center torso (2 from front/rear), and indeed engine hit, while the remaining 3 points into front right torso (6 on front/rear)


following this, the hits on hermes were to the rear so it's large laser into left leg and medium laser into left arm

correct?

[hive_angel]

This is more a lesson in oversight than a reminder. I never read that part in all my games. I always thought you could escape rear shots by torso twisting. This will change my thoughts now.

The shot to the Enforcer kind of sucked, but he got a rather nasty shot to the Mongoose in return.

Initiative it is so go ahead and roll when you get the chance.
