Get them off! Get them off!
« on: 04 September 2024, 23:15:45 »
Just finished a mission where the some Cappies forces ran into the 17th Avalon Hussars rear-guard.  This would be after one of the Hussar's Colossus was destroyed on Fortymile with a full load of armor and support elements.  I had two IS Std (LRR) squads spring up from behind a hill while fire support mechs, Haseks, and a squad of Hauberk were hitting the advancing Capellan menace.

After exchanging some fire (to include a zooming Zibler putting a SnPPC & SRM into the head of a Locust) a IS Std squad swarmed a Shandra scout vehicle.  The bot got so obsessed with the three remaining troopers it sent the Thunder, Strider, Wight, and 2 Predator TDs chasing after that scout vehicle to scrap the BA off- without success.  The Tian-Zong with LGRs followed green blob, trying to give fire support while two assaults and a Hasek were firing up the chasers.  Luckily the Shandra died in jump range of some woods.

Just the way it happened made me think you can hear the panic'd radio calls we get in some movies/shows.

Forgot, then the next turn the same IS Std that jumped into woods to avoid the blob's retribution manages to hit the Wight's open CT . . . gets 2 gyro crits.
