Unit deploying with no movement points -- Von Luckner
« on: 21 May 2020, 09:31:46 »
I deployed a Von Luckner heavy tank from my unit in MekHQ, and was surprised when it had a 0/0 movement with full crew.  I have attempted the following fixes:

quitting, going back to mekHQ, and assigning a new full crew using the "hire full compliment" option; and

spawning an entirely different version of the same tank in MM; the second tank also appeared with a 0/0 movement.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Screen shot attached for reference.

Do you have gravity, high winds or really cold weather going?

Gravity is 1.0, and wind is calm, but the temperature is -6 and the weather is an ice storm.

Interestingly, the Vedette's are doing well, with ICE engines, but is it possible the VL is having a problem with its fusion drive?

Found the rule in Tac Ops!  Page 62, if any future person has the same problem.

Ah! -60, not -6! That explains my confusion!

Things that I have learnt through clicking too fast on 'Move Done' on MegaMek: Double-check the CF of the building before jumping onto it, check artillery arrival times before standing in the neighbouring hex, and don't run across your own minefield.

"Hmm, I wonder if I can turn this into a MM map."

Yeah, I guessed that was it after some page-flipping in the book!

And a Von Luckner stuck in a snow drift is just going to look embarrassed!
