[QUOTE="Darimaus, post: 3751320, member: 50345"] Your analasis is fairly accurate given your situation, but there are a few errors in it. First off, your assuming that your opponent has a piloting of 1 is mistaken. First off, when two people refocus in the same combat with each other, there is another initiative roll on both their parts, in order to make things even. It also means that there is no garauntee of success for the second person who refocuses. In this case, he beat you in the roll off. More importantly, your forgetting he could ALSO have a 2 piloting, making him your equal rather than superior. You fight fellow warriors in these trials, and they all have the same roll for skills that you guys had. Now, since I helped Dire Lemming, I feel obligated to give you a hand to, so heres my take on things. First off, your strategy involving a grand melee has 1 of 2 flaws. The first is your odds of winnig a 2 on 1 fight and getting Star Commander are low, especially since the Black Lanner would close realy fast, giving you no room to breath, and sticking you between it and an assault mech. I suggest you find a viable escape route or method of cover that would force the slower mech to get outpaced and leave the Lanner on its own. Then the fight is one on one, and you would already have a kill. Good times had by all. But this doesn't even work if you can't bring down the #2 mech, which has a flaw of its own. The mech isn't going to just let you have its back. It will turn with you. You need to be really careful about going about this, since a failure will mean imminent destruction. You'll need to put some though into how your going to get a shot at its back. Get creative. And hope you can aim true. You difficulty would be at least 5, if you don't move that round. Plenty of room for castle to screw you over (its been doing alot of that lately :p ) If you do take this course of action, remember one thing. No regrets. No looking back. This is your chance to prove you are a clan warrior. Show them you deserve to command. [/QUOTE]
