Battletech - Blood of Kerensky

[Darimaus]

I remember that when we used to play Battletech, the initiative phase was meant to occur each turn - that is, we rolled initiative again before every movement phase. It's been quite a while, and I'm totally out of touch, so I'm not sure what rulechanges have happened in the meantime - was that rule streamlined? If so, that's a shame. It's kind a pain to do it every turn, but initiative in Battletech is such a big deal that losing it for the whole combat is sort of disastrous.

I'm pretty sure that you are right on the initiative every round thing, I'm pretty sure its a house rule that got introduced to me when I first started playing. But thats also why I introduced a refocus rule.

Poor Rylee, invisible castle hates Freeborns too.

So it appears - ouch - getting close to pulse lasers is clearly baaaaad...

I think you will be good to go there Jemal, as this could be a rather quick trial…. did the Cougar fire all of its visible weapons? Hopefully it does not have that much of vase range of weapons.

OOC: Bloodweaver1: Because you can't walk and jump, you won't be able to get the free facing. However, I'm going to just assume to face towards 30,26 instead, which won't let the enemy get anywhere near your rear facing.

OK. I think I am getting the hang of this... I apologize for all the errors and thanks for the help.

Just realized that the Cougar is on an elevated plan which means it will fire on the puncturing table. This will most likely spell DOOOOOOM for our freeborn. However, I believe the error lies with the player (me) rather than the character/Mech. All in all I having a blast!

Did my last round and this round of firing all hit the Courger's torso? (1st Med. Pulse & 2nd 2 Med. Pulse + 1 Large = 33pts in torso?) It sounded like the Mech is/has blown up....? Not too sure.

I'm confused again. This time it's as to what you have for my Gunnery and Piloting. What do you have for my Gunnery and Piloting?

So what happens if you've got an active probe and ECM at the same time?

Lol, you guys are worried about your rolls?

according to your roll and my notes, you have stats of 3 Gunnery, and 3 Piloting.

Your actually doing quite well. Btw, i didn't use the punch table because I took some advice (both online and at home) and made the punch hit/leg hit only apply within 3 hexes. And yes, your opponent is down for the count. You completely destroyed its center torso.
