Tanks a Lot 3025 BattleTech Merc Dynasty - The 4th Succession War Ends!!!

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We lose barely 9-8. I set up my company. They set up their Awesome first nearish me. The rest far away.

Turn 1 – We win init 7-6, also barely. They first move their Urbie. I cannot base it with my Atlas it’s 6 away. I charge 5 for stuff where possible. Our CRD moves 4 and bases their Cataphract. Our Spider bases it’s flank. Our Atlas moves 4 and bases their Hunch, our Banshee too. Their Awesome bases my CRD’s flank. Our Wolverine bases their Cataphract. They move their Spider last, not great for a leg chance. It jumps behind a hill to hide. Our PXH bases their Awesome’s flank. Weapons fire!!! I want to fire at their BM, let’s see if we can answer it, but it’s behind a hill, so their Awesome is targeted instead. Our Catapult’s ML hit the CT and hit the engine and gyro once each. Then our Grasshopper finishes the gyro with another hit with a ML too. Gyro down. No pieces though. Melee!!! We each kicked the Hunchback but in different legs. Then our Wolverine destroys the LL on their Cataphract!!!

Turn 2 – We keep init and win it 10-6, not that close. Our Banshee and TDR base their Urbie. Their Hunchback doesn’t rise. Our BM, Hopper and Stalker base their Marauder. Their BM stays in the same space, I based it for a head punt with our Wolverine. Their Spider bases my Atlas’s flank, and all I have left is my Spider and PXH and cannot get the PXH to it. I base their UrbanMech with the PXH. Our Spider to their BM’s flank. I fire at their BM if I can see it. Our Stalker and BM are in their Warhammer’s rear arc and cannot see it. Also our Awesome can only see their Wasp and fires on it. Their Urbie’s AC20 hit and destroyed our Atlas’s RA. Our Awesome PPC hit the ammo in their Wasp’s RT – dead mech!!! Our Stalker SRM hit the gyro once and engine three times on their Warhammer -shut down. It also destroyed its back LT, LA on the ground. Their Trebuchet hit our Atlas’s LT and destroyed too, LA on the ground. Our Spider hit the SRM ammo in their BattleMaster’s LT, boom, dead mech!!! Ouchie! Melee? Our Banshee legs their Urbie’s LL. Our TDR it's RL. Our Stalker the RL of their MAD destroyed. Our PXH hit the RT of their Urbie and it ammo explodes – dead mech!!!


They eject and surrender and we take them out.

Salvage:

BattleMaster – H, LL, LA, RT, RL, RA
UrbanMech 60L – RA, LA, LT, H

[Abe Sargent]

Beginning of Contract #92:

Nov 12, 3030 – Arriving for a Pirate Hunting deal for the Lyran Commonwealth is Fiche a Cúig Company we just made!!! We arrive at the Zenith JumpPoint with An Invader, Achilles, Union and Leopard CV – we unload and scout and here are an Invader that just arrives and then a Union heading to planet with 2 fighters escort and then an Avenger and Leopard CV here. We get them all smashed up good, and destroy them both and all fighters too. We also capture their Invader since it hasn’t finished charging yet. Can I salvage their Leopard CV or Avenger? I toss a 5 and 8 – nope.

Battle Loss – We took 5 mill in damage and lost 4 fighters. 2 we can salvage for 1.25 mill and then lost 2 for 10,702,641 and then can bring in three of theirs for 2.1 mill.

We salvage at the JumpPoint – 8 mill.

Nov 15 – We land at their HQ where their Union and mech company meet us.

Banshee 3E, veteran, CO
Charger 1A1 – XO
Dragon
Thunderbolt – YAYAYAY!!!
Warhammer 6L
Clint
Dervish
Vulcan 2T
Wolverine 6R- yay
Commando
Locust 1E!!!
Wasp 1W

Remember Pirates are all random save their leader is a veteran. They are in the center and us the north of the Grasslands 3 map. I want that Locust, Wolverine, and TBolt. I wished that was MY Banshee you know?

This is their Wasp 1W variant with 20 tons, 10 heat sinks, 6/9/6 movement, and then has for armor 2 tons one ton too light for weapons it’s got SIX Small Lasers - ouch if you are based to the good stuff. Pic? Sure thing!!!



There you go!!!

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We lose 8-12. Ouch. They set up in the middle and nearish us in woods. Their Banshee is heavy woods.

Turn 1 – We get revenge and win init 8-6, closer but we win. They move their TDR first, 5 from my Charger, based! I charge most 5. Their Warhammer bases it’s flank, our Grasshopper bases it back and our PXh in woods next to it too. Our Jenner bases their Locust. I fire at their Banshee which backed up out of the woods. Some cannot see it and fire at their Warhammer. We lightly dust their Banshee and drop their Warhammer, no parts off. Melee? Our Grasshopper kills their Warhammer after destroying its CT with the leg. Nothing else gone.

Turn 2 – We keep init 12-8. A reverse of our loss earlier. Their Wolverine moves 1st, I base it with my Charger and Atlas moving 4. Their Banshee moves and doesn’t base us. Our CRD and Griffin base their Commando. Our PXH and Hopper base their Clint. Our Jenner too moving last. I fire again at their Banshee. Our Crusader destroys it’s LA. It falls, and their pilot blacks out. Melee!!! We didn’t leg their Wolverine sadly we split the attacks on each leg. Our PXH legs their Clint’s LL!!! Our CRD their Commando’s RL!!!

They eject from the Clint and Commando and then surrender since we have their ruler and then no ways out with their Invader ours too. We capture their Union.

Salvage:

Warhammer 6L – H, RL, LL, RA, LA, LT, RT

Banshee 3E – missing LA - pilot blacked out; see below!
Clint – missing LL; current value - 3,222,380 – to fix 250k
Commando – missing RL; current value - 1,741,250 to fix – 150k

I add the Warhammer parts. Do I have a Banshee LA? Got it from the 3Q version, added. I also purchased the Clint too. War chest is 166,919,379.

We captured:

Invader JumpShip - With 3 JumpRings, 2 small craft and captured from Pirates from LC deal, named the “Dual Invasion”.

Union DropShip – Mech carrier DropShip for 12 mechs and then 2 fighters, and captured from Pirates from LC deal, renamed the “Lapis Lazuli Lion”.

[Abe Sargent]

Nov 18, 3030 – We finish relaxing, salvaging, and repairing and found 1.8 mill in cash.

We blow up their base but they surrendered if you’ll recall

Nov 22 – We arrive at their next target’s Nadir JumpPoint and unfurl our battle load!!! We found here at the JumpPoint Steiner intel is here, and correct, they are here with an Invader, Avenger and Leopard CV and then an empty ring for their supposedly Union. We smash both units and all 6 fighters. Can I salvage either? I toss a 5 and 6 so nope!

Battle Loss – We ate 8 mill in damage, and then lost 4 fighters – 2 can be salvaged for 1.5 mill and then two lost for 12,312,000. We can salvage 3 of theirs for 2.6 mill.

We salvaged here at the JumpPoint 7 mill.

Nov 27, 3030 - We arrive at the 2nd Pirate holding, scout it all up and down the block and then find –

Banshee 3M - CO, veteran
Stalker – XO
Archer - love it!
Dragon
Quickdraw
Cicada
Hatchetman
Phoenix Hawk!!
Whitworth
Locust 1M
Panther
Wasp 1L

Yay for that Stalker sorta, Archer, PXH and that’s it. They are random ability, just the veteran ruler. They are in the middle and us the bottom.

[Abe Sargent]

Set-Up – We lose a low scoring 4-3. I set up the front rank. Their Stalker is near-ish us, 5 away. I set up my Atlas there. Nothing else though.

Turn 1 – We do win init though – 8-7 also by one. They first move their Banshee, my Orion moves 6 to base it. Their Panther moves 2nd and then jumps in front of their Stalker, based with my Atlas at 4. Their Hatchetman bases my Atlas’s flank, our Longbow and Charger base it but move 3. Our Griffin bases their Panther too. Our TDR bases their Banshee, and our CDR their Hatchetman. Our Jenner bases their Locust. Our PXh bases their Whitworth. I fire at their Banshee. It’s +1 and short range. Our Warhammer destroys its LT, LA on the ground. Our Grasshopper’s LL destroys the CT – dead mech. Melee? Our Atlas legs their LL on their Panther!!! The LL on the Hatchetman also destroyed by our Crusader.

Turn 2 – We keep init another tight one 7-5. Their Hatchetman tries to stand and falls and blacks out. Their Panther rises though. Their Stalker moves last and we cannot base it other than the Warhammer moving last and their Archer at the edge cannot be gotten to either. I fire at their Stalker instead, likely blowing it up. I fire our Longbow missiles and Warhammer PPCs at their Wasp. It survives, but their Stalker doesn’t. Our Warhammer hit the ammo in the RT – dead mech! We also hit the ammo in the other side too. They drop our Atlas. No melee, we aren’t near them.

We took out both Assaults and then their 2 lighter closing units with the Panther and Hatchetman – they eject and then flee to their Union. Since their Invader fled, there is a chance they can meet back later so they fly up and then to other spaces on the planet. We destroy it in space. Our Achilles is faster. They cannot outrun it. Can we salvage it? I toss a 4 nope. We also took out 2 escorts fighters.

Battle Loss – We take another 2.5 mill and then took out their two fighters and can salvage one for 750k.

We gather here from 8 mechs and a DropShip and 2 fighters – 8 mill.

Salvage:

Banshee 3M – H, RT, RL, RA, LA, LL
Stalker – RA; LA, LL, RL, H

Panther missing LL; current value - 2,235,710 – to fix 250k
Hatchetman missing LL; current value - 5,130,640 – to fix 500k

I add the two Assault mech parts. Money spent for them. Added!!! War chest is 166,169,379

[Abe Sargent]

Nov 30, 3030 – We spend a few days fixing, repairing, and salvaging their stuff for 3.3 mill (I tossed an 11). We blow up their HQ.

Dec 05 – We arrive at the Nadir JumpPoint of a pair of Merchants here and then they have two open DropRings and then a Leopard CV and Avenger. We smash them good and hard and their 6 fighters too. They were savaged. Can we salvage them? I toss a 6 and 2. Nope-sy.

Battle Loss – We eat 4 mill damage. We lost 4 fighters, 2 can be brought back for 1.25 mill and then 2 lost for 10,541,853. We can salvage 4 of theirs for 2.6 mill.

We find here at the JumpPoint 11 mill.

Dec 09 – We arrive at their planet – no major losses or anything, no one here to meet us. We scout and land and then scout them up. We scout up the planet and find their base with a Gazelle, Leopard, and then 12 vees and 4 mechs. As we land and head there, four Warrior VTOLs and 2 fighters from the Leopard hit us. Our fighters engage.

Here are the 3rd and Final Pirate Defenders!!!

Mech:

Victor 9B – veteran, CO
Archer – yay!!!
Centurion
Firestarter FS9M

Vees:

Behemoth –
Demolisher – XO – yay
Schrek PPC Carrier
Brutus - yay
Bulldog
Von Luckner K100
Maxim - yay
Vedette
Pegasus!!!
Saracen
Scimitar
Striker

I’d love that Archer, Demolisher Schrek, Brutus, Maxim and Pegasus. They are all random. They have an epic number of AC20s. They are in the middle and us on the north.

Here is their Bulldog: this heavy vee weighs 60 tons and moves 4/6. It’s got a lighter armored 104 points. Weapons are the Large Laser and 2 SRM4s in the turret and a MG front. Pic:

[Abe Sargent]

We are on a Grasslands map.

Set-up – We thump them 11-6. They set up first. Their Victor is right next to us. The rest on other side of forests.

Turn 1 – We win init - 7-5 - closer. Their Behemoth moves first, based by our Charger who moved 5. Our Griffin too. Their Schrek on the other side off the woods based by our Grasshopper and PXH. Our Longbow and Orion base their Centurion – but the Longbow moved 4. Our Jenner on their Schrek but their Archer on the far side, no chance of basing for getting it. Our Atlas and Warhammer move 4 and base their Demolisher. Their Victor moves last ,leaps behind our Warhammer to base its rear our TDR bases its rear too. Weapons fire! At their Demolisher. Longbow, JagerMech and CRD and Warhammer at their Schrek long range stuff. Our Warhammer destroys their Shrek’s Turret. Dead! Our Grasshopper destroys their Demolisher’s front!!! Melee!!! We drop their Centurion, but split which leg was kicked.

Turn 2 – We keep init 12-9. Our Atlas’s ate a ton of AC20s from their Demolisher and has just 3 left internal in its RT, I eject it. They don’t rise their Centurion. Our Charger and Griffin base their Brutus on the far side of the map. No easy weapons fires elsewhere. Our PXH join and Jenner too to them. Their Behemoth based by our Warhammer, TDR and Orion. Our Longbow and CRD base their Striker. Our Hopper by their Maxim. Who do I fire at? Brutus? Von Luckner? I go overheat on both. They drop and black out our Grasshopper so no chance on the Maxim. Our Charger’s SRM6 destroyed their Brutus’s left side. Our Crusader destroyed the front on their Von Luckner!!! Melee! just like their Centurion, their Striker avoids death…but not their Behemoth!!! It’s left side is destroyed by my Warhammer!!! Their Victor leg’s it’s LL though.

We took out their 4 VTOLs and 2 fighters. They flee their Leopard and Gazelle and load up and then split up one heading to the Nadir and Zenith JumpPoints. Our mechs radio their vectors to the forces in space. Our Achilles is faster than both, so I split up 2 Aquarius and the Achilles at the Gazelle and everything else at their Leopard. We take out the Gazelle easy. Our Leopard CV and salvaged and captured and all of our fighters and Aquarius too hit it. We do take it out, but lose loads of fighters and an Aquarius. Can we salvage either? Or both? We do salvage their Gazelle and Leopard. Tossed a 9 and 12. It costs us 6 mill and 8 mill – 14 mill total. Spent!!! War chest is 152,169,379.

Battle Loss – We took 8 mill, lost 4 fighters, 2 can be salvaged for 2.1 mill and then the other two lost for 12,307,500 and an Aquarius for 14,221,500. We can salvage one of their fighters for 750k.

We find here with the various units we salvaged the destroyed tanks and mechs – 6 mill.

Salvage:

Schrek PPC Carrier – destroyed turret – we toss a 6, nope
Demolisher – destroyed front – we toss a 8 – yup!
Brutus – destroyed left side. – we toss a 9 yup.
Von Lucker K100 – destroyed front – we toss a 4, nope
Behemoth – destroyed left – we toss a 7, nope

Do we have a Warhammer LL? Yup, fixed!!!

Battle Loss – 500k for it, didn’t spend though.

[Abe Sargent]

[Abe Sargent]

I am going to push back the first deal until later since I don’t have much time tonight with an interview at 5-6 and I’m not sure which ones are there.

Beginning of Contract #94:

Dec 28, 3030 – We arrive in the FS system of Bartow’s Nadir JumpPoint with Khamésh Company for the ComStar raid. No one stops us at the JumpPoint so we head to the planet.

Jan 02, 3031 – We get to the planet, and again no major issues stopping us. We land at a DropPort around 3 hours around at the place and begin to head out.

We confirm they are intended, true, they are a company mostly, but they have an extra mech.

Here they are:

BattleMaster 1D – veteran – CO – love it.
Charger - veteran
Zeus 6S – veteran – XO - huh, did they get this from their alliance with House Steiner?
Crusader 3D – yay!!
JagerMech – not great
Warhammer 6D!!! – love it
Blackjack
Shadow Hawk 2D – not great
Trebuchet
Wolverine 6D – not my favorite variant
Commando
Javelin
Locust 3V – variant with 2 MLL and 2 MG.

Love that CRD, Warhammer, and BM, not the Wolverine much. They have a ton of ACs in the JM< BJ, and Wolverine and more. They are regular, and in the middle.

This is their BlackJack – a medium mech weighing 45 tons moving 4/6/4 and then with 4 ML, 2 Ac2, and then 11 heat sinks and okay armor at one ton shy of max – not bad for afire support weapon.

Pic:

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – we lose a high scoring 11-10. I set up, their BM is close to us. Then the rest pretty far away.

Turn 1 – We win init 9-8 by one. They first move their Warhammer, no bases though it’s too far. Our WW camps in a Heavy woods. Our Atlas bases their BJ, their Zeus bases in front it’s flank of the BJ, our Orion bases their Zeus. Their JagerMech bases our Orion, our Hopper bases their Zeus too. Our BM and Jenner base their JM. Our PXH bases their SHD. Their BM bases my TBT’s flank, our Locust’s its. Weapons fire at their BM if they can draw LOS otherwise their TBT. We don’t drop their BM or any parts, just to the ground, Our Orion blows up their Ammo and TBT though. Melee!!! Our Jenner legs their JM’s RL!!! We drop their Zeus.

Turn 2 – We keep init and thump them 12-5. They turn the JM, no ejects. Our WW stays in the camp spot. Our Locust bases their Wolverine’s flank and our Jenner it’s front. Their BM rises and bases my TBT, and it’s in my rear behind our lines. Our PXH leaps by their Wolverine too. Our Orion bases their SHD. Their Locust bases my Stalker’s flank. Our Warhammer bases their SHD too to make sure it’s legged. They hop their BJ away my, BM bases it. Their CRD holds back and doesn’t move but cannot be based, Our Atlas and Grasshopper base their Warhammer. Their Zeus rises on their last turn. I fire if they can draw a LOS to their BM to hit it, otherwise their Zeus or Charger and then CRD for everything near. Our Grasshopper’s ML hits the ammo on the Crusader’s RT, dead mech….not great. Their BM survives. Melee!!! Our Orion legs their SHD’s LL and then hits the AC5 ammo – boom, dead mech!! Our BM legs their BJs’s RL!!

They flee the two range mechs legged and flee.

Salvage:

Crusader – H, LL, LA, LT, RL
Shadow Hawk 2D – H, RA, RT, LA
Trebuchet – H, LA, LL, RA, RL, RT

JagerMech – missing RL; see below
BlackJack - missing RL; see below

Well we legged the AC units, sad. I add the three mech parts. Got the JM one easy in that chassis, and earlier on I targeted BJs and have a random one left in that chassis too – added!!!!!!! I didn’t add anything I needed.

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We lose 9-5. We set up on the bottom flank across from them. They set up in a giant circle around us, but as far away as possible. We can see around 2/3rds of their units.

Turn 1 – We lose 4-2. Ouch. I charge 5. They begin to flank us with their Jenners, Srinnger7er, Wasps and Jav and PXH too. Our Hermes II, Jenner and Wolfhound base their left flank PXH. Our Jav and PXH base their right flank’s Jenner. They base our Hermes II with thier QD. Weapons fire!!! They are are around 6-8 away save for flankers. I fire 18 each at therir Atlas and BattleMaster. Kumi na Tano’s Awesome hit the ammo in thier BM’s RT - boom, dead mech!! We also destroyed its’ LL. Our Charger in Labíng-Pitó AC20 beheaded their Atlas. Ouchie. Melee!! We drop their PXH, but it’s fine. Our PXH does leg thier Jenner though. LL! They drop our Hermes II.

Turn 2 – We lose init again 10-9. We move 5 where possible. They rise their PXH, and we keep it based with the same. Then they move their MAD in front of us around 4 away, i base it with two Banshees and a BM. Their QD leaps to the rear of our BM, and then our CRD and 2 Archers base it. They have flanked us. I base their left flank’s Jenner with our 2 Wolverines and a Wolfhound. Then we base their Orion with our 2 Chargers a TDR on the front and then a Crockett to the right flank. Their Victor leaps behind our Charger’s rear. They base our Awesome with a Stalker and Hunchback. Weapons fire – 12 each at their Victor, Longbow and Charger. Their Victor destroys the RT Ammo on our Charger in Labíng-Pitó! Ouch. Then it destroys the Charger’s CT, dead mech. We also destory it’s arms. Our “BM Tekau mā Waru destroys the Victor’s LL, and then our Wolverine hit it’s ammo – boom, dead mech!!! Our TDR in Kumi na Tano destroys the Longbow’s LL, legged, and then it’s Awesome the LA too. That’s our first captured Longbow in forever!! Melee! Our Wolfhound legs the RL on their PXH!!! We drop thier Jenner, but no legs, and then our Crockett legs their Orion’s RL!!! Our Archer legs the LL this time of their QD. We drop their MAD, but one hit was a glancing blow so no legged there. Their Stalker and Hunchback drop and leg our Awesome’s RL.

Turn 3 – We keep losing init, but this time not close at 11-5. They wierdly rise thieir Orion. Elite pilots going to elite. Then they rise their 2nd Jenner but not their MAD. It stays down. We chase their Jenner. I eject the Awesome. Our PXH and Wolfhound and Vulcan base their durable Panther. Their Scorpion bases our Vulcan’s flank. Our two Banshees and BM on their MAD base their Centurion instead. Their Griffin bases our flank of our Wovlerine, I base it with 2 Grasshoppers and a Catapult that leap to it. We base their CRD with our BM, Crockett and 1 Charger still up and running, their Grasshopper cannot be got. Weapons fire!!! I fire 12 each at their Stalker, Grasshopper and Goliath. Our Tekau mā Waru Awesome hits the ammo on their Stalker – boom, dead mech!!!!! We savaged it - just 3 pieces left! Then our BM in Kumi na Tano hit their ammo on their Grasshopper, but barely touched. Then our Crockettt destroys the Goliath’s RT, double legged!!! They destroy our BM’s LA and LT. Melee! Our Grasshopper legs their Griffin’s RL. We miss legging their Centurion but it falls. Our Crockett legs their CRD!!! We drop but don’t leg their Panther. We leg their Jenner though.

Their Hunchback bases our BM’s flank, our CRD bases it back. Our Hopper bases their GRD. They backup their Banshee to woods behind heavy it started in. Our Atlas bases their CNT. Our Wolverine too, our Jenner and PXH base their Griffin. Weapons fire! I cannot draw Line of fire to their Banshee or Awesome with many like my Atlas, - they fire at their Warhammer if not. Then their +2 Banshee 7 away if they can . Our Awesome destroys their Warhammer RA. Our Banshee hit the ammo in its RT – dead mech!!! We barely hurt their Banshee. Melee!!! Our Wolverine legged their Centurion’s RL!!!

Do I fire at their Banshee or Awesome? I have neither in the queue for next. I do have 6 Longbows though, and an Atlas and Orion for next one. I fire at the Banshee. It’s +2 to be hit in the woods. Everything can fire at it. They drop and knock out our PXh – no legging their Griffin. We drop and knock out their Banshee - no parts lost either. Melee!!! Their Griffin destroys the RA on our PXH. Our Awesome legs the RL on their Hunchback.

Pic:

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We lose 9-6. I set up our stuff in the center. They set up far away

Turn 1 – We win 9-5. Weird. I charge 5 where possible. I jump our Catapult to camp in heavies. They move their Rifleman 1st, our Atlas bases it. Then their Vindicator bases our Atlas’s flank and in front of our BM, I base their Rifleman with our TDR instead. Our Banshee bases their Hatchetman and Vindicator and BM and Archer their VND just. Our Jenner and PXH base their Centurion’s flank. Their Stalker charges and bases our Banshee. Their SHD bases our Jenner. Their Spider moved last – no chance to smash it. Weapons Fire – at their Stalker. Our Awesome destroys its RA and LL – legged!!! Melee? We split attacks on their Rifleman – it survives, and falls. But our BM legs their Vindicator’s RL.

Turn 2 - We win init 8-4. They eject their Rifleman. They turn their Stalker. Our Archer and Atlas base their QD. Our Wolverine its’ flank. Our TDR and Hopper base their Warhammer. And Banshee and PXh base it too hopefully we can leg it and the QD…their Victor bases my Atlas’s flank. Weapons fire at their Victor. Long range at their Commando.

We drop but don’t leg their QD it was hit in both legs an it critical there.

I blast out.

Jan 07, 3031- We arrive at the 3rd and final Planet with Pirates for the MAC deal. We have arrived at their Zenith JumpPoint and begin the scanning. We find here a Union around a day from planet and then an Invader with an Avenger, and Leopard CV. We unfurl and then smash them good, and destroy, We destroy them all. Can we salvage them? I toss a 3 and 6 – nope. We head to their Invader, with their Union still in space we could capture it if it hasn’t fully charged ,but it does and jumps away

Battle Loss – We ate in damage 6 mill, and then lost 3 fighters, 2 are salvaged for 1.25 mill and then the lost costs 6,192,000 - we can salvage 3 of theirs for 2.5 mill.

Love that Wolfhound, Wolverine, Catapult and BM!!! We have double their BV. They are randomly assigned ability save BM, and in the middle and us back on the reliable south in the Desert Base.

This is their weird and badly armored Clint a medium 40 ton mech with AC5 and 2 MLs, 6/9/6 movement and then bad armor and ten heat sinks.

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up- I lose by one 8-7. I set up. They set up far away from me.

Turn 1 – We win init low scoring 5-3. They move their Catapult first 6 away from our Atlas. I base it with our TDR. Our sets up to camp in heavy. Our PXH bases it and Jenner too. Our Atlas bases their BM that bases my PXH’s flank, as well as our Banshee and BM too. Could I leg it? Our Wolverine also bases it. Weapons fire! The Striker and try to leg the BM or their BM with weapons. A BM has external and internal leg armor of 44 armor total – our Atlas does 20, and then our Banshee 19 and BM 16 and Wolverine 11. Let’s get greedy and hit their Striker!!! Our Grasshoppers hit the ammo in the LT – dead mech!!! Melee! Can I leg their BM? We drop their Catapult them our PXH. Then our BM destroys the LL of theirs!!! Good stuff!!!

Turn 2 – We keep init in a high scoring close one 10-9. They knock out their BM trying to rise it. I rise our PXh and run away. Our Atlas and Banshee base their Clint. Their Wolverine our Atlas’s flank, so my BM and Wolverine and Grasshopper base it. Our Jennner bases their Rifleman’s rear. Their Catapult doesn’t rise it stays there. I base it with our TDR and CRD. Our Awesome bases their Wolverine too. Weapons fire at their….hmm…Rifleman I guess. If I cannot draw LOS I fire at their Dragon behind woods instead. Their Wolfhound survives. Our Jenner destroys their Rifleman’s LL, and…that’s it! Legged! Their Dragon didn’t even fall. Kicks time!!! Can we leg their Clint and Wolverine? Probably but their Catapult on the ground unlikely. Our Atlas destroys the RL on their Clint and Banshee the same spot and the RT down. Our Grasshopper LL’s their Wolverine! Down. We did kick their Catapult in the leg, but the tother one.

With their leader blacked out and captured and we took out their XO’s mech too. They surrender and we capture their Union.

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – we lose init 9-3 ouch. They set up their Atlas near me and that’s it.

Turn 1 – We edge them 9-8 to win init. Their Urbie makes the sac play and leaps in front of their Atlas. I base it with my Banshee moving 4. They retreat with their TDR. Their PXH jumps away, no legs. Our Grasshopper bases their Wasp. Their Atlas bases my CRD and our BM bases it. I fire at it. Our Charger and Orion cannot draw LOS to it. They fire at their CTF. We drop it and it has 8 internal armor in the LL. Melee! Can our BM or CRD leg it? Our Chargers hit the ammo in their CTF’s RT- dead ammo boom!!! Our Grasshopper misses their Wasp – no legs, but the BM did hit the LL on their Atlas – legged!!! Then our Banshee hit the Urbie’s LL too, legged!

Turn 2 – We keep init 8-4. Our Charger and Orion base their TDR! Our Stalker and Wolverine base their Vindicator. Our Grasshopper bases their PXH our Banshee their Locust. Our Archer their Wasp again. Their Stalker bases my BM savaged from the Atlas. Our Wolfhound their VND and our Jav their flank on their Stalker. I fire at their Stalker. Long range at their Centurion. Our CRD SRM4s hit the ammo in the Stalker’s RT - blown up. Sad face. Also…our Wolverine hit the ammo in their Centurion’s LT- boom, dead mech!!! Melee? We don’t, sad, leg their TDR, or Vindicator. But…our Banshee also legged another leg – the LL on their Locust 1L. Our Archer legs their Wasp’s LL too!!!

They retreat with just their TDR of value left. Everything else ejects, and load up into a Union, and then head out to their Invader, but we easily take it out. Can we salvage it? We toss a 6 – nope.

They are regular, we’re in the middle of a base. They the south flank.

This their Saladin – a 35 ton hover light that moves 8/12 and then has a front facing AC20.

[Abe Sargent]

Set -up – We lose a high 11-10. We set up right near their side outside of the base, but not them. They are far away.

Turn 1 – We lose init too 9-3. Ouchie. We move 5 where possible. They begin to flank us with flankers like their Harassers and Condor with their mechs on top so we cannot get on top. Our Vulcan and Wolfhound base their Condor and Stinger. Their Goliath charges us, we base it with our Atlas, Banshee and BM but they moved just 3. Their Vindicator leaps to the flank of our BM, and we base it with our Orion, Archer and CRD. Their Wolverine leaps to our CRD’s flank, and then we base it with our Grasshopper and PXH. Weapons fire – I fire our mechs at their Charger, our two mech companies at their Rhino and Devastator 12 each. Our BM hits the Head on their Charger and hits the cockpit – dead mech and pilot! Nothing else gone. Our Demolisher destroys the front of their Rhino, and our Hunter the front of their Devastator. Melee! We drop but don’t leg their Wolverine, and then immobilize their Condor. Our Archer legs their Vindicator’s LL. Their Goliath drops my BM.

Turn 2 – We lose again another big ol’ miss, 12-5. We rise and backup our Bm, they rise their Wolverine and run away, I stay near it with our PXH and Hopper. Our Vulcan and Wolfhound base their Stinger that leaps away. Their FS bases our Wolfhound’s flank. Our Awesome, Stalker and Orion base their Brutus. We stay based with their Goliath. Their Catapult leaps behind our Atlas, we base it with our Archer, Grasshopper and CRD. They keep their Archer away for firing long range. Weapons fire – I fire at their Goliath, Zhukov and Behemoth. Our BM hit he ammo in their Goliath’s RT, dead mech!!! Then our Schrek destroys their Zhukov’s turret. Our Manticore destroys their Behemoth’s front. Their Archer destroys our side on our Ontos. Kickin’ and punchin’ time!!!! Our Orion destroys their Brutus’s side. Their FS legs our Wolfhound’s RL. It leg’s the Stinger’s RL too. We drop but don’t leg their Wolverine again.

Set-up – We win a high scoring match 11-10 barely. I set up my lads. They do so too. They set up nearish me on the Grasslands map.

Turn 1 – We win a low scoring one 5-3. I charge 5. Their Warhammer bases my Zhukov and Manticore. Their BM my Rhino and Demolisher. Their Scorpion bases my Brutus and Bulldog. I fire at their BM with everything!!! Our Demolisher hit the ammo in its LT – dead mech walking! We drop their Urbie. Melee? They miss with their Warhammer and it falls.

Turn 2 – We keep init 9-8. Close still. They rise their UrbanMech. Their CTF bases my Hunter. Their SHD bases my Demolisher. Their Victor bases my Manticore. Their Locust on my Rhino. Their Warhammer stays down. Weapons fire at their Victor. They immobilize our Rhino. We drop their Victor and it broke its LL. Our Brutus hit the ammo in their Urbie – boom!!! Their Victor destroys the front of our Ontos. Melee. Nothing.

They are up 3 to 1. Are they coming forward? I toss and get a 9 they keep it up.

Turn 3 – We keep init 7-4 – our first not close win. I eject the Rhino. I line up my tanks at their Archer. I fire at it. Our Maxim hits its ammo – boom!!! Melee? Their CTF destroys the Left side of our Hunter.

Jan 22, 3031 – Out patrolling is our mech company when a mixed mech and vee and infantry battalion arrives and attacks our garrison. They are timing this when we are out with their strength to our weakness with no mechs at all.

Here is their great and one of our favorite scouts – the Medium sized Drillson Hover Tank weighing 50 tons, moving a massive 9/14 and then with LL, LRM 10, and 2 each SRM2s and MGs. The LL and SRMs are in the turret. Lighter armored than I like for a 50 tonner at just 104 points. Introduced in 3025.

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We lose 9-5. I’m working it!! By setting up our vees. We have 2 each Demolishers and Devastators for an example. I set up in direct lines with them. They set up and I can see around 66% of their dorks.

Turn 1 – We also lose here 8-7. We start moving 5 each where possible. They base our Zeta Schrek PPC Carrier with their Vindicator and Commando and then our two Eta Demolisher/Devastaor with their CTF and Centurion and our Zeta Rhino with their Banshee and Panther. They begin to flank us. Weapons fire!!! I fire 12 each at their Awesome and Banshee. Our Devastator in Zeta beheads their Awesome, dead mech!! We also destroy it’s RT and RA. Eta’s Schrek destroys its CT, dead mech no explosion either. We also destroy its RL. Sad we legged it. Melee! Their Commando finishes off our Schrek’s right.

Turn 2 – We keep losing 10-2. Ouchie. We move around, their Centurion and CTF move to our Zeta’s Zhukov. Their Locust to our rear, their Commando and Vindicator base our rear and side of our Hunter in Eta. They have flanked us all up and down the box, and then base us with many vees and such in our stuff. Weapons fire! I fire 8 each at their Assault vees. Our Zhukov in Zeta destroys their Devastator’s turret. Eta’s Brutus destroys the front of their Schrek!!! Eta’s Saracen destroys their SturmFeur’s front too. Dead tank! Their Commando immobilized Eta’s Manticore. Melee! They -1 movement Eta’s Hunter.

We have destroyed all of their 5 Assault stuff, but they took out our Schrek and immobilized our Manticore…are they still coming or flee? I toss an 8, they keep coming.

Turn 3 – We win 6-3. We eject the Manticore. They base with their Centurion and CTF our Brutus in Zeta. They are now in our rear flank with tons. I back up the Hunter, still based by their stuff. Their Warhammer moves up and bases our Devastator and Demolinser in Zeta. Weapons fire! I fire 8 each at their Archer, Drillson and Brutus. The 8 I fire at their Archer are 4 AC20s. Our Rhino in Zeta hits the ammo in their Archer’s LT – boom, dead mech! We also legged it’s LL and RA too. Their CTF destroys our Brutus’s front in Zeta. Our Eta’s Brutus also immobilizes the Drillson!!! Their Brutus front side destroyed by Eta’s Condor!!! We don’t take any major damage from melee!

We have taken out 8 of their units – they eject and flee.

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We win 8-6 a mid scoring one by two. They set up first their BM. They are on the far side!

Turn 1 – We lose init this time a high scoring 12-10. Also, by two. We move everyone 5 minimum. They flank our borders with their PXHs, Locusts and that Jenner and Commando easily enough. I base their left flank PXH and Locust with our PXH and Wolfhound. Their Chameleon bases our Wolfhound, I base it with our Jenner and Grasshopper. – I wish it were their Griffin or Wolverine.

We also destroyed the LA. Our Demolisher in Zeta hit the BM’s ammo – boom. We also savaged it nastily. Kicks time!!!

Turn 2 – We also lose init close-ish by 3 7-4. We move five. They move their Zeus in front of our mechs, 3 or 4 away from them. I base it with our Charger, Banshee and Hunchback. They rise their PXh and run still based by our PXh and Wolfhound. Their stuff is in my rear arc. My Grasshopper and Jenner base their Jav. Our Awesome and Catapult base their JM, we keep our TBT camped in woods, they base it with their Locust. Our Warhammer also bases their JM too. Their Grand Dragon bases its flank, no kicks back. Weapons fire- I fire 12 each at their Awesome, Charger and Victor. Our Charger hit the Victor’s RL – gone and our Grasshopper also hit the ammo in the LT, destroyed.

They base my TBT with their Jenner and Commando and Locust. They leap their Spider at it’s flank. It’s too far away to base though. Their Grasshopper leaps to my Banshee rear after it bases their Rifleman bringing them out. I base their Rifleman with our Hunchback and Charger, then their Hopper with our BM, Awesome and Catapult. I base their Griffin with our Warhammer and Grasshopper after it bases our flank in our Awesome. Weapons fire – We fire 12 each at their Archer, Marauder and CRD!!!

We are on the east, they the west of a small Urban Base. They are randomly assigned, and then this is our each of our close and smash units - Thunderbolt – it’s weighs 65 tons at heavy, has 4/6 movement, amazing armor at 13 tons, has 15 heat sinks for dissipation, and then an LRm15 and LL for long range sniping and closing, and then for short 3 Ml, 2 MG and an SRM2. It’s beloved by all and my favorite heavy mech brawler in 3025 era. Here’s a pic:

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We win a big one – 11-3. Ouch!! I set up 2nd, they have their set up Atlas first, and then everything else later far from us, but not it!!! We can see around 75%of their units, roughly.

Turn 1 – We lose init this time a low scoring 5-2. Well, insert sad face here. We move 5, they begin to flank with their Locusts, Hermes II, Stingers, and such down the flanks. I base their left Stinger with my Hermes II and Wolfhound whose flank is 7 away from their Spider’s jump, it takes the bait and is based by our Javelin, Spider and Wolverine. They moved five too. Weapons fire spilt 18 and 18 at their BM and Atlas. Our Catapult in Deich hit the ammo in their Atlas’s LT, dead mech!!! Also, RA destroyed. Our Demolisher in Theta hit their BM’s RL and destroyed it. Our Rhino it’s LT. Legged!!!
Melee!!! Our Wolverine legs their Spider’s LL, legged!!! Our Wolfhound legs the RL on their Stinger!!

Turn 2 – We also lose init this time around mid-scores of 8-7 closely! They don’t eject from anything. I move 5 where possible. Their TDR heads in of front of Deich’s Atlas 3 away, and Banshee and BM 4. Based. I leap my Grasshopper on its flank too. They move their BJ in front of our Striker and Stalker, based. They finish flanking us and base my Zhukov with their Orion, Centurion and Charger. Our scouts – Wolfhound, Jav and Spider base their Locust on the left side and our Hermes Ii and Wolverine their Wasp on the right. Weapons fire!!! We split up 12 each on their Charger, Stalker and Victor!!! Our Archer in Deich hit their Charger’s LA, gone, and our Grasshopper it’s LL, it falls and destroys it LT. Legged!!! Our Longbow hit their Victor’s ammo in their LT – dead mech!!! We also destroy it’s RL and RA. Our Schrek hit their LL on their Stalker – legged, and the Rhino it’s LA too!!! Legged!!! It falls and breaks it’s RA dead too. Melee! Our Grasshopper legs their TBolt RL!!!! Our Wolverine their Wasp’s RL too. Our Striker their BJ’s LL. We miss their Locust and it’s fine. Their Orion immobilized our Zhukov. They drop the Atlas on their TBolt.

Turn 3 – We keep losing 10-7. Okay. I rise our Atlas, and then base their Rifleman with it and the Banshee and BM too. I eject my Zhukov. They leap their Catapult away, no legs. Their flankers to my rear, and are basing us, and their Locusts base my rear of and flank of Deich’s Archer. I base one with our Spider, Jav and Wolfhound. The other our Wolverine and Hermes II. We base their MAD with our Stalker, Striker, and Longbow. They leap their Merlin to the Stalker’s flank, based with our 2 TBolts and Grasshopper. Weapons fire – 12 each at Orion, Goliath and Catapult. Our Deich’s Thunderbolt hit the ammo in their Orion – dead mech. We did leg it’s RL and RA too. Our Demolisher takes out the Goliath’s H, and then ammo in the RT too. Double kill. They destroy our Pegasus’s front with their Catapult. Our Longbow in Enogtyve also hit their Catapult’s Head, dead mech! But then we also took out the LA and LL too. Recoverable!!! Melee!!! Our Wolfhound legs a Locust and our Hermes II the other. Both RLs. Our Longbow legs their MAD’s LL. We drop but don’t leg their Merlin splitting damage. They drop and leg our Atlas’s LL.

They flee and we get the battlefield and their legged and head shot stuff!!!

They are also all random.

They are attacking us, we are in the middle.

This is their and our Schrek PPC Carrier assaults with 3/5 movement, three PPCs on turret, lighter armored 112 armor, very light. Pic?

[Abe Sargent]

Set-up – We win easily 9-4. They set up their Atlas near us, and then the rest far away, and I set up outside of the base’s border and can see all of their stuff. Yay! Remember they have three AC20s in their mechs, not an easy squad.

Turn 1 – They thump us back 10-2. Ouch! I move 5 where possible, but we are near the border, not much space to go. We base their Cyclops with our Atlas, Banshee and B M and moved 3 or 4 each. Then their Atlas bases the flank of our last assault the Longbow and then we base it with our face punching TDR and Warhammer. We base their Crusader after it jumps to our Warhammer’s base with our Catapult, our own CRD, and then Grasshopper too. We base their Urbie with our Wolverine, Hermes and Javelin. Yay!!! Weapons fire on their Atlas with our mechs and 6 each on their lighter armored Schrek and SRM Carrier. Our Longbow hit the ammo in their Atlas – boom, dead mech!!! We also destroyed its RL, and legged it. Our Hunter destroys their SRM Carrier’s front. Our Demolisher their Schrek’s turret. Melee!! Our BM legs their Cyclops RL, nice. We drop and leg their CRD’s LL. Our Jav legs their Urbie’s LL too. They immobilize our Ontos!

They, in one turn, lost a leader, had three mechs legged and then lost two vees, I toss to see. We tossed an 8 and they’ll keep on coming.

Turn 2 – We lose again 8-7 - close! We eject the Ontos. They…STAND their Urbie. Ouch. They backup their Archer, no bases. We do base their Cataphract with what was on the Cyclops - BM, and Atlas and Banshee. We base their Locust with our Jav, Hemes and Wolverine that’s in our rear based to our Longbow. Their VND jumps and bases the flank of our Jav, and I base it with our Hopper, Catapult and CRD trying to bring it down. They base our well armored Condor with their Wasp and Shadow Hawk – hopefully no destruction there. Weapons fire – Our mechs were supposed to take our their AC20 Cyclops but with it fallen and legged I target their Archer instead. Then our vees split up and 5 hit their LRM Carrier and 6 their J. Edgar. Their UrbanMech’s AC20 hit on our H on our TDR – dead mech and pilot. Our Longbow also destroys their Archer’s RT ammo -dead mech!! We also took out the LA too. Our Hunter destroys their LRM Carrier side, but nothing hurt their J,. Edgar much. Melee!! They hurt but don’t take out our Condor. We double leg their Locust! Our CRD legs their Vindicator’s LL. We savage their Cataphract and legged its RL.

They flee and we legged and blew up EIGHT of their mechs and then 3 vees.

Salvage:

Archer – H, LT, LL, RL, RA
Atlas – H, RA, RT, LA, LL,
