AFFS High Command: Eternal Grandeur

[MadDogMaddux]

The Firebee is a lethal city fighter.

That Firebee you picked is a HOSS. Love the Plasma/Infernos combo.  [rockon]

I will say I was impressed with the wee wittle Arcitc Fox.  Never used it before.  I did pretty good picking my mechs considering I didnt really put any thought into them.


Was a fun and great game and thanks for letting me play!


I believe Im going to like it here.  :)

[GreenDragon]

Mongooses.  One of those "we have to know" trivia things Greg and I obsessed on a few years back.  And amazingly, my steel sieve memory retained it.

[Sharpnel]

Yeah. At one point he described the 6/9/9, SnPPC, C3 spotter Phoenix Hawk as "mediocre".

He's on crack, if he actually believes that,

[Sharpnel]

No, you were correct with "unreasonable". IJJs are freakin awesome.

Only on lights/mediums, after that the weight penalty is rather off putting.

My friend Gerry Swanson made a video parody of Back to the Future. It's pretty funny, and the payoff joke, yeah, it's pretty good.

Yeah, you hammered the shit out of us. I've always respected the Arctic Fox, and that configuration was lethal in a city.

I'm going to be watching my wife's birds while she's in Michigan next weekend, so if anyone wants to try a bigger game of MM, I'm up for something Sunday.

So yeah, the game last night was a blast, even just as a spectator.  I have enough on my plate that I'd rarely be able to play such an evening game, but any time some of you guys want a peanut gallery I'll happily join in.  The Arctic Fox and the Plasma Rifle on Ed's Firebee both really impressed me.  I'd never seen a Plasma Rifle in action before, but it was devastating to that Jackal.

It was really the inferno SRM salvo that I blasted the Jackal with from my MML launcher, combined with 11 SHS on an ER PPC-toting light 'mech, but yes, the net effect was to ****** the Jackal up mightily. Poor Josh! He probably hates us all now.

Fixed that for ya. O0

I dunno, ge and I were fb chatting, and he seemed to be having a good time. He's a great guy!

In fairness to him, the battle was fought in the presence of his mortal enemy, the ground.

He's a great guy!

He absolutely is. Had a great ride home from GenCon with him.

Sounds like it was fun.  Sorry I missed it.

Yeah I was pretty brutal with it.  Im actually thinking of getting a mini for it meow.  I must be crazy or something. :D

Perilously close to Wolf-in-Exile territory there, m'man!

I'm thinking of taking up Aerotech.

Aww, y'all made me blush. It was a good time and I always expected the Panther to go up in smoke. Though I hoped it would be a *bit* closer. The initative rolls were killing me.
Also, I notice MDM and I have new titles...

[3rdCrucisLancers]

I'm sad MDM's isn't "The Wight Stuff", or "Wight Supremacist".

[BlackAce]

I really wanted to bring an Osiris, rather than the Valk, damned design breaking rules revisions!  #P

We were hurt most by our poor deployment and uncoordinated tactics. Paladin initially gave us an advantage when he smoked MDM's Jenner, but we squandered it two turns later when we didn't all stand off and use our temporary superiority in heavy long ranged guns (the two ER larges in the Mongooses, my LB-10-X, and technically, my plasma rifle) to hammer the enemy at range. We never recovered from losing a third of our force in such quick succession.

Hmm, I like them both but I think the latter is pushing up against some rules...

True, the real kicker was I forgot the wall on that map was six hexes, I thought it was five. Rendered the Valk to pretty much being a spectator for three rounds.

Never!

That Valkyrie isn't really a great city fighter anyway. The QD4 would have been a much better choice for that map for a similar BV.

[BlackAce]

Yeah it's a little sub optimal but I've had good success with parking it on a roof and shooting down into melees or along streets in the past. Just it's never going to work on THAT map.  ;D

[DoctorMonkey]

I'm sorry I missed the fight

If such things are going to happen again I'm happy to try to find the relevant version of MM and try to play

[BlackAce]

Were playing pretty late UK time, so I hope you're on nights!

[Wolf Lancer 4]

Im up for more games of MM as well.  I rarely get a chance to play it.  Last night was my second game against another person.  I did play a game with Adrian Gideon one time, but with his hectic schedule trying to get a MM game in would be like hearding cats when you cant see.  Or hear.  With one leg. :D

[DoctorMonkey]

Yep, hence being on here at this sort of time

Don't think I could get onto MM from work though

Course you can!  Just have to be very sneaky. ;)

Evil realization: OGRE miniatures are listed as being in 1/300 scale, and therefore suitable for CBT conversion.

Time to dust off OGREthulhu... [brew]
