This is the exact same situation as if the 'mech were shut down or the mechwarrior unconscious. No roll, the 'mech just falls.

The Stranger (2023) Aussie movie about an undercover cop trying to gather evidence against a possible child murderer. I was expecting a pulse pounding procedural, but I got instead was a slow as heck buddy movie. Theres some really long scenes where nothing happens. Everything is muted and shot in long shadows. Boring. Rating 4/10

I watched about 3 episodes of The Gentlemen before I gave up. If youve seen one Guy Ritchie show youve seen them all. The whole thing was moderately predictable in which somebody always screws up or there was some kind of reversal to their schemes so the episode could be prolonged. Even the plot was lifted off that Matthew McCaunaghey movie.

Now I've switched to Shogun, and its drawing me in. First episode is intriguing, very different from the Richard Chamberlain version.

Ahead of Merecenaries shipping, I was planning to pick up copies of the 40th anniversary boxes, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of them, yet!  They originally said March/April, but are fast running out of April.  There was a hint in one of the streams that they'd have them for Origins in June, but I haven't heard any updates otherwise.  Anyone heard any news?

I would say yes, 20+ forces a PSR regardless of situation if there's no pilot no one can make that roll.

Hi, trying to start up Megamek and for some reason it is saying it required Java 11, even though I've already downloaded and installed it.

Thanks for the info on these,  I had no idea they were available.

I would go with the trial of possession. Considering what is known about the Clans post Tukayyid. I think you need to exploit the Clans rigid view on war. Plus could you not include a clause to allow safe passage out of Clan territory???? Even with a successful smash and grab raid you might have great difficulty getting away. You are deep in Clan territory. Yes you arrived via surprise, but getting home might be much more difficult. They could be highly motivated to recover your spoils....

So the problem there is you are mercs & the Falcons are quite likely to laugh at your offer, deny you safecon & attack w/ their full force as your dezgra.

Based on the size of the unit Colt mentioned, anything over a Trinary of clan tech on defense is likely to put a serious hurt on his unit.
God forbid there is a full Cluster stationed there.

He also stated they don't have intel on what is there so it could be nothing more than a Star of PBI infantry to a full Front Line Cluster or 2, you just don't know.

Honestly, I wouldn't even take a contract w/o having seriously better intel on the planet.

Best bet, go in stealth raid & hope you don't find more than you can handle w/ only a reinforced battalion at your disposal.

Arguably, the loss of torso twisting, arm firing, arcs, and punching do not.

Both designs have their ups and downs, I just feel that losing 12 crit slots is an easily avoidable and unnecessary down.
