If I can make it, I'd like to try the "new" LAM rules. I know they've been out for a while, but I haven't had a chance to actually use them yet...

Paul · « **Reply #631 on:** 14 June 2019, 21:02:54 »

Oof. Boy do I hate LAMs... Well, if at least 1 more person shows interest, I'll give it serious consideration.

Protos! I've only ever been on the receiving end.

I'd tell you I'm sorry, but I like to tell high quality lies.

Also, Celestials. Maybe a Hunt for Berith, late or post-Jihad thing?

Plausible, but I'm worried that the special rules will prove frustrating for players. I mean, I guess I could take em on as OPFOR, but that can't be what you have in mind?
You remember those cheat sheets I made for the rare advanced stuff in the WOB vs Society fight? You think that'd cut it?

Maybe aerospace.

Large piece battles where the Time To Kill is fast.

That or doing some of the Historical Turning Points books, like Misery or Mallory's World or really any of them. I would love to redo some of those iconic fights. Jihad TP: New Avalon to get that Wobbie experience for Cubby.

Also, Daryk, same as Sprocket, I'm always available to pick up as I'm down in Lorton and have to head up that way to get to either Huzzah Hobbies (where Jester has started his games) or Games & Stuff

Daryk · « **Reply #635 on:** 19 June 2019, 22:28:10 »

Awesome, thanks! I'm headed to Norfolk this weekend, though...

So...Alpha Strike?

OV vs. Society redux could be fun, but you're right, we'd need a cheat sheet for tech. On the one hand, we have a reasonably experienced group of players who won't be too thrown by snub-nosed PPCs. On the other hand.........C3i.

*steps in wearing funny nose glasses to request a hyper-detailed campaign of resource management to make Star Fleet Battles look casual... like, 'are the retaining bolts on a Star Lord's thrusters standard or Philips-head, that kind of thing*

Theres also taking into account design flaws of certain mechs. Ammo feeds jamming do to the placement, certain types of lasers having their lenses burn out due to poor manufacturing, etc.

JadeHellbringer · « **Reply #640 on:** 20 June 2019, 09:40:19 »

Don't forget to utilize this fan-made D20 hit location table! Now featuring upper and lower arm/leg locations, and even a crotch-shot if you roll a 13! (Mech immobilized for 1D6 turns in the fetal position)

I’m changing my vote. Rattler vs. Rattler.

Daryk · « **Reply #643 on:** 27 June 2019, 17:45:45 »

Now THAT would be an exercise in dice rolling... ::)

Jester006 · « **Reply #644 on:** 18 July 2019, 00:05:53 »

I'll be bringing a batch of my deviled eggs for everyone.

I'd imagine if there was a Rattler on the board that Paul would have a warship in orbit shooting at it. I have to admit it would be kinda funny to see a warship shot with a near miss just close enough to a rattler that front or back end of a rattler would drop in a nice pot hole.

VikingmacBrea · « **Reply #646 on:** 26 July 2019, 09:42:27 »

I'll be there Saturday & know it's a bit late for suggestions but the Clan Invasion KS has got me thinking about IS 3025 tech vs Clan tech. I'll play whatever you come up with though.

Paul · « **Reply #647 on:** 27 July 2019, 06:50:38 »

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Next game: August 17 at noon. The 2019 wwe!

Cubby · « **Reply #648 on:** 27 July 2019, 20:34:21 »

August is packed wall to wall for me, so very little chance any date would work. This is my daughter's 4th birthday party, so I'll look forward to September.

Paul · « **Reply #649 on:** 27 July 2019, 21:06:41 »

Hey at least your priorities are straight!

Today: Reinforced company of Feddies comes across new invaders, rumored to be elite Dracs who are trying to invade using confusion and misinformation. Cosmetic enhancements on SL era Mechs and weaponry, according to intel. (Intel also presumed possibility of pirates and even aliens, but those are, err, "lower" probability.")

Engagement against a small detachment of 5 raised more questioned that it answered. True, the Dracs like the number 5, but why did this small force not attempt to disengage? Instead they said something about duels, and had it.

End result: several savaged Mechs, but 5 enemies destroyed, who fought until their Mechs collapsed... Strange.

Stranger still: the unit commnet just went dead.

More in September!

Well, the Valkyrie pilot is just glad they still have 3 salvos of LRMs left! :)

The Valkyrie mysteriously fell to his death when getting out of his Mech. Tragic. He'll be missed, old whatshisname, I miss him already.

Darn... and here I was all set to work him up in AToW… ::)

If that's the case....can I have his comic book collection?

Well, we're not sure if he was able to rendezvous with the rest of the company. He could have ran into another one of those "Kuritan redesigns".

But still, going point blank with 2 Summoners and still being able to walk away is noteworthy.

Theres one important question I need to have answered...

Should I bring brownies or deviled eggs?

Daryk · « **Reply #658 on:** 13 August 2019, 19:19:24 »

I'm for deviled eggs (as always), but not sure I can be there yet...

BlCharger · « **Reply #659 on:** 13 August 2019, 20:22:45 »

I'm a member of the Monday Night Battletech crew. Myself and others from the group are going to be there starting at 10 in the morning, but it's for a Fire and Sword practice tournament. I'll probably get roped into playing even though I've never played FnS before.

However, I might be able to swing on over. At the very least, I can say Hi :).
