Another session and another post. I admit, this one was very awkward to summarise, and I skipped a lot of what happened (like Randy's fight with a Blackjack), but it may yet see the light of day

Another session and another new player character (for reals, seriously. The last one didn't work out for reasons). We had to end mid-battle, but I'll have some posts up for what we got done so far.

Suffice to say, surprise Neanderthal

I just finished reading the latest posts; great stuff, especially that prison-island bit, I really loved that. I also look forward to the new PC...though I doubt I'll ever enjoy them as much as Nikola Kardos. I still miss that sonuvabitch.

Good to get an update on the various units

Story telling is on hard to beat scale. Good source material for ideas and inspiration I might add. Good stuff.

Sadly still lacking in sessions because of the now five PCs, two have small children and one is house hunting. On the other hand, I've started a blog for the Shadowrun game I'm in on the Saturdays where I'm not running the main game.

Enjoy!

Having children? House hunting? Don't these people know they have Battletech to play? Where are their priorities? :D

I know! It's insane! What's with them?!

One trip to New York later, and we have another session done and posted

Love me a self destruct system!

An incomprehensible summary of last session has been posted!

Seriously, I dare you to make sense of it

Nav_Alpha · « **Reply #101 on:** 15 November 2015, 09:17:00 »

Total bloody drongo, that Ivar

Today's session is a massive battle that will probably last several more sessions. But in the meantime, here's a background post to cover some of what's being fought over.

Deadborder · « **Reply #103 on:** 23 November 2015, 20:00:12 »

Bonus points in the last session:

*The Trutzburg gunners for landing three Long Tom shots all on target in the same hex in the same turn. Ouch!

*Shona's Pixie eating a full volley from a Yu Huang and amazingly not exploding

*Ransom needing only 5s to melt an allready damaged Koshi into the ground... and missing with all but one shot

*More Angel ECM then you can imagine

*Scientific VTOL manouvering in order to cover the least ground with the highest TMM

And that's just getting started.

That latest post sets the stage for a very interesting mystery. Are the Irregulars moving on from Fletcher already?

Deadborder · « **Reply #105 on:** 28 November 2015, 22:26:14 »

The Fletcher campaign ends after the current battle; all up it's taken over six months of real world time, so I think that we're due a change of scenery.

Kojak · « **Reply #106 on:** 29 November 2015, 03:10:18 »

Wow, so it has been. Time flies something something, I guess.

Deadborder · « **Reply #107 on:** 29 November 2015, 18:06:09 »

Consider this; during the Fletcher campaign I added two new players to the game. It would have been three, but one of them decided to have personal drama instead.

Sadly I'm losing another one at the end of the year as they're moving back to the US for 6-12 months. I may have another potential player, but it's outsideish right now

Deadborder · « **Reply #108 on:** 05 December 2015, 08:27:51 »

And the fight is still ongoing. Highlights include:

*Shona is still not dead despite her best efforts

*Irisz can't hit for beans, even on slow-moving assault 'Mechs at short range

*In fact, nobody can. The team hit a near-fresh Yu Huang with enough firepower to utterly destroy it's left arm and strip almost all the armour off it's front torsos. And even then, they missed with two thirds of their hits

*A Vandal losing both it's big guns in one round of fire

*More ECM then god

*Ransom being clever with splitting fire and actually hitting things

*More fun with artillery

Deadborder · « **Reply #109 on:** 09 December 2015, 03:01:05 »

Filler post; and by that I mean that I massively re-worked a prior post because as the GM, I had a bucket load of new ideas

Deadborder · « **Reply #110 on:** 19 December 2015, 03:51:16 »

And the battle is still ongoing! Today's session was short because the group all went to see some film called Star Wars or the like.

With that being said, we're getting very close to ending this. The CCAF 'Mechs are ready to start dying en masse, with several of them either very vulnerable or barely hanging in there

Deadborder · « **Reply #111 on:** 26 December 2015, 03:22:19 »

It's over!

*flops in a corner and dies*

Have an after-action report. More posts to come and then we'll see what our heroes (?) get up to next

Kojak · « **Reply #112 on:** 27 December 2015, 03:17:29 »

I can't wait to see what comes next!

Kojak · « **Reply #113 on:** 27 December 2015, 13:04:25 »

Hey, have you ever considered moving this thread down to the Non-Canon Units board and cross-posting the stuff from your blog? I suspect it'd get a lot more exposure if you did.

Deadborder · « **Reply #114 on:** 27 December 2015, 16:35:51 »

That's actually a pretty good idea; thanks

Deadborder · « **Reply #115 on:** 30 December 2015, 02:31:25 »

And another post to summarise the last four weeks of play. Actually more when you cover the weeks we didn't play.

*dies a little*

Nav_Alpha · « **Reply #116 on:** 30 December 2015, 16:40:54 »

Sounds bloody! And shame to lose a lot of the new recruits.
Was Ransom being run as an NPC or PC?

Deadborder · « **Reply #117 on:** 30 December 2015, 19:52:45 »

PC. His player is moving overseas. It's a pity because he's a great guy and didn't get to play that much

Always a shame. Such a hassle to try and gather a group and then corral them into a regular game night around real life

Very true. I have two prospects for potential players, but they're presently outsider chances.
