Sorry I couldn't make it. How'd the Trial of Refusal go?
The units for each side were as follows.
Marik:
Battlemaster 3M, War Dog 02FC, Perseus 1A, Griffin 3M
Eagle 2M, Cronus 5M, Wolverine 7M, Ostroc 2D
Phoenix Hawk 3M, Tarantula 2A, Owens 1C, Buccaneer 3R
28,413 BV
Star Adders:
Blood Asp A, Nova Cat B, Adder A, Mongrel A, Arctic Cheetah D, 5 points of Corona BA
28,931 BV
Things were going ok for the Mariks until the poor Tarantula decided to try and jump behind an Adder. In the middle of its jump, it came across a point of Coronas and a Blood Asp that were hidden and got shot out of the sky.
The Blood Asp then went on a spree because the next following turns it put the Cronus and Buccaneer into forced withdrawal. Took out the War Dog by criting the gauss rifle and blew off a leg to the Owens; but I guess being a 0 gunner will do that. The Phoenix Hawk took a crit to its sensors and life support thanks to some cheeky Coronas. The Ostroc took 2 heavy large lasers to its CT which left it with only 10 points of structure left there. The Eagle had 2 points left in its CT. Wolverine had taken some noticeable damage, but nothing serious.
Star Adders lost all 5 points of Coronas and the Adder. Mongrel was is the same shape as the Wolverine. The Coronas put in a lot of work even though they were wiped out; was glad to see them get some action.
I made sure to let everyone know that the game was a play test of a scenario before the game started. They provided some good feedback and have made some adjustments. Even though the Adders had roughly a 500 BV advantage, I gave the Mariks all the semi-guided LRMs they wanted and the BV I listed above didn't take into account the BV adjustment for SG ammo.
For adjustments, I was thinking about swapping out the Ostroc for an Anvil 6M and instead of the Eagle maybe a Hermes 3S2 would work better. I was also thinking about giving the Mariks 1 or 2 homing Arrow IVs a turn. The terrain played a huge part in the game, but that was my intention as the scenario is suppose to take place in a swamp and the Adders are lying in ambush using the Coronas to call in LRM indirect fire.
Here's the additional units I plan to use for the full scenario.
Marik:
Shadow Hawk 5M, Trebuchet 7M, Thunderbolt 8M, Avatar OA, Marauder 5M, Albatross 3U, Cerberus 5M, Awesome 9Q
Adders:
Warhawk C, Savage Coyote A, Kingfisher C, Hellion A, Peregrine Standard
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
