I have come to the conclusion that Atlas is a cursed mech. I'm sure a beer was needed after that.

I'm running a campaign in the Bay Area and the cursed head shot mech we have is a Marauder II MAD-4A

think it's killed 3 pilots in 5 games

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #1081 on:** 08 December 2013, 23:57:08 »

I may give the Atlas another shot at proving its worth in battle. Or it gets a face full of LRMs.

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #1082 on:** 14 December 2013, 01:07:21 »

Once played out the one Atlas is worth a battalion of Stingers. Limited the Stingers to BV equal to the Atlas on the maps at any one time. Ran out of AC ammo, nearly ran out of SRM ammo, was low on LRM ammo when the Atlas finally died. Took out more than 6 lances of Stingers. They learned to keep more than a hex away from the Atlas real fast. One kick equaled one dead Stinger. And the lost 5 Stingers when trying to get behind the Atlas.

It wasn't pretty.

That's what I call an extermination!

Very cool

Atlas's suck, try a Highlander.

Better range, more ammo and it jumps!

Highlander coming up in the next game

ShadowRaven · « **Reply #1087 on:** 19 December 2013, 17:56:20 »

Yep. Highlander is the way to go, and you can DFA any that end up knocked down through leg damage, which isn't practical, might cost you the match, but stomping bugs is worth it

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #1088 on:** 20 December 2013, 10:30:37 »

So "a certain jumping weighty assault mech" be the way to go I guess.

BirdofPrey · « **Reply #1089 on:** 20 December 2013, 16:31:32 »

When choosing a new mech there can only be one

MoparMessiah · « **Reply #1090 on:** 21 December 2013, 00:22:27 »

We will see how my campaign players do. There forces will be split in between a rogue mercenary unit. They need to re-group and exit the board.

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #1091 on:** 29 December 2013, 10:50:04 »

If they are like most players instructions will be not followed and they will all be killed. Just sayin' >:D

Actually they did pretty well. They could have done a better job of consolidating their forces but I'll give it to them.

I did help an x-girlfriend buy a pink car once - wish I had that car

figures you would be more interested in the car than the girl

She was not a very nice person and a mean drunk - not a good combo

truetanker · « **Reply #1101 on:** 02 March 2014, 19:01:36 »

I'd bet the car had better milage than her.

Car was neat - it was a 1970 Dodge Challenger 340 4 speed with the factory color being Panther Pink. They only painted that color for about two months

truetanker · « **Reply #1103 on:** 03 March 2014, 21:54:38 »

How to spot a Mopar car...

1) Big engne block
2) Pair of Fuzzy die hanging from the rear view mirror
3) A set of Extra-Large Brass Lugs under the rear bumper
4) Panther Pink paintjob
5) Optonal MoparMessiah driver included

MoparMessiah · « **Reply #1104 on:** 05 March 2014, 01:20:52 »

I have never owned a set of fuzzy dice ;D

Nor a pink car

truetanker · « **Reply #1105 on:** 05 March 2014, 18:19:00 »

So 3 out of 5 ain't bad, eh?

TT

ShadowRaven · « **Reply #1106 on:** 05 March 2014, 18:48:15 »

you really should get a set of fuzzy dice. They make every car instantly cool. Well except for a Ford Pinto, for obvious reasons. the 'ton of MG ammo in the CT' of the car world

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #1107 on:** 05 March 2014, 21:45:24 »

Adding fuzzy dice does not make a car cooler. It will make a cool car look cooler. It will make an uncool car look weird.

Many years ago I saw an interesting vehicle modification. Ford Pinto hatchback, with a massive almost monster truck suspension modification. The damn thing sat so high off the ground the owner actually had welded ladders to the frame under the doors. It was yellow, and had pink fuzzy dice. It was almost as tall as it was long.
