((And with enemy positions, comes Phoenix's counterstrike!))
((Assuming I can't shoot and then move, I'll stand still and fire on the Dervish with my group A, turning to 1104, a walk, I suppose.))

Karen sat unflinchingly as the Dervish returned fire on her Crusader. It was a lighter mech, and she had gotten the first shot, and was not afraid to slug it out at a decent range. Aiming her weapons on target, the 4 Streak-SRMs and 2 Pulse lasers of her primary short-range macro ate into the torso of the enemy mech. She smiled wryly, whispering to herself, "Taking me with missles?"

((Since the Dervish is 6 away, it's long range for my pulses, and medium for the SSRMs. +8 and +6 respectively, as he moved 4 hexes.))
((Linked Pulses get a 6+4= 10, hitting, Linked SSRMs get 5+2=7, hitting. 8+11 mean all 4 missles fire.))
((4 SSRMs hit 8, Left torso, dealing 8 damage. 2 Mplas hit 7, Center Torso, dealing 12 damage.))
((16 heat from weapons, 1 from walking, 2 from index, -14 heat sinks, for 5 total.))

"Tch..." Raviel couldn't think clearly, and on instinct rushed forward, recklessly trying to draw some attention to himself.

It worked, sorta, if running into a quickdraw counts as working. [i]Aww...shit,[i] he thought, and did the first thing he could think of; he fired.

((1001-D ran to 1103-D, facing 1104))

((Run 4 hexes to 1005 from 1103))
((Pilot Target Roll 4: Rolled 3+2=5))
((Target hit: +0 (Base), +0 (short range, all weapons), +2 (ran), +1 (target moved 3-4 hexes equalling 3))
((Pulse Medium Lasers: 1+3=4, hit))
((Location: 1+1=2, Critical Torso x 4 hits))
((SSRMS: 3+3=6, hit))
((Missiles Shot 1: 3+3=6, 1 missile hit; Missile Shot 2: 6+6=12, 2 missile hit))
((Heat: 2 (terrain), 16 lasers, 2 running, -10 Heat Sinks; Total Heat: 10))

((Ok, I think I need to take 3 turns, since everyone else seems to be on turn 4 and I have taken only one.))
((First turn, run from A0409 to A0414))

Razma took his Centurion and kept following Adam, still keeping silent as usual.

((Second turn, run from A0414 to D0305))

Razma decided to get up to higher ground to see if he could get in a good shot. It seemed the rest of Lance was going to do the same.

EDIT: Redoing Third turn due to taking an impossible shot. The turn will consider new positions instead of old ones.

OOC: not quite sure how he got center torso hits when he's almost 90 deg. relative to my position, but I'm not going to contest it.

BIC: Kyle cursed as roughly half of his center torso armor vaporized under the assault.

Fine, Ostroc, you wanna dance? Let's Dance!

((Faces D0906))

He brought his medium lasers and machine gun onto the enemy mech and fired. The first emerald lance went right into the Ostroc's head. The other laser melted armor off the mech's left arm, while the machine gun put a few dents into the enemy's right arm.

"Sigil, you might want to get up here, things are getting hairy," he radioed.

((Need a 6 to hit with medium lasers (3 +1 for walking +2 for hex movement of 5-6 hexes) at short range. Need an 8 to hit with the machine gun (Medium range, everything else is the same))

MLas1 - 9 (hit) 12 (Head Shot[!]) 5 damage
MLas2 - 6 (hit) 10 (Left Arm) 5 Damage
Mgun - 9 (hit) 3 (Right Arm) 2 damage

OOC: Walking to D406, the turning to D507. Stalker is within minimum distance of LRMs.

IC: Adam slowed to a walk as he made his way further up the mountain. Turning to his left, he saw a Stalker making its way toward him. There really wasn't much he could do at this range, so Adam opted to hit it with LRMs. It wouldn't do much more than grab its attention from Kyle, but he couldn't really get a good shot with anything else from here.

"This is such a dumb move..." Adam thought as he lined up his crosshairs, and then pulled the trigger.

Nine of the missles arced their way into the mech, five impacting on the right arm and four hitting the left side of the torso. It wasn't much, but if he could draw it out into the line of fire of another mech, it would be in serious trouble.

OOC: TN: Base 3, +1 walking, +1 target moved 3-4 hexes, +2 minimum distance. TN is 7.

Attack: 6+4=10 hit. Missles launched: rolled 7, so 9 missles.

Location/Damage: 5 hit 4, right arm, dealing 5 damage. 4 hit 8, left torso, dealing 4 damage.

(piloting check roll 9. guess I stay up. Walk forward 1, 0307 face 0407)

Clearing a rise in the mountain, Rayn came around and saw a Stalker in the distance. I'm going to regret this. Targeting him, he fired with his ER Large lasers. Watching, the lasers streak across the terrain, he saw both of them hit, one nailing the left leg, the other it's right torso.

(base 3 + 1 walking + 1 moved 3 hex, short range(6hex)=5)
ER Large-10 hit; (9-left leg) 8 damage
ER Large-7 hit; (6-right torso) 8 damage

heat 12(laser) + 12(laser) + 2(enviro) + 1 (walk) - 20 (heatsinks) = 7

OOC: Power up in D0903, walk to 1105, Alpha Strike.

"Roger that, Kyle."

The reassuring thrum of the Atlas' engines filled the cockpit as the mech powered up, and the targeting computers immediately locked onto the Ostroc battering Kyle's Warhammer.

"Greetings, enemy pilot,. This is your captain speaking."

On Sigil's screen, over half a dozen reticles came up at once, as well as the blinking yellow and black "Alpha Strike" button.

"We are pleased to announce that you will shortly be taking the magic carpet ride to HELL."

He hit the icon, and the Atlas had to take a step back as all its ordnance discharged at once. It took Lucifer's enhanced imagin for Sigil to see through the smoke and watch the Ostroc fall, as its left leg was twisted out of shape by the monstrous impact of the Atlas' autocannon, then disintegrated entirely by the rain of lasers and missiles that followed. He noted with a small hint of pride that two missiles from his Streak 2 batteries had caved the Ostroc's head in.

"Thank you for flying Atlas Airlines, we hope you'll have a pleasant trip."

BIC: ALPHA STRIKE

ooc: IC that's an impoosible shot. Between d0305 and D0906 is a mountain peek
Now you could be trying to fire indirectly with Wolf spotting for you.

The firepower of the Atlas ripped off the ostrocs leg sending the mech sliding down the side of the mountain landing head first into a dune.

The two locusts run across the Dunes as the winds start to pick up. Blitz holding the crosshairs waiting for a missile lock he pulled the trigger The missiles striking the locust in the center of it's mass. The locust fired it's lrms wildly before exploding into a burst of exploding missiles. The blast dividing the mech in half. The auto eject fired the pilot into the air.

"Marik scouts neutralized. Returning to formation."

(position B0904 firing on locust. Tn 8 roll 10. 6 RT 7 CT roll for crit 9 crit location 11 LRM ammo)

ooc: Yes boys and girls it's that time again.

((And now, I'll walk backwards two hexes to D802 facing D903. Heat dissipates, weapons reload (except SRMs.))

Karen pulled her crusader back behind the mountain peak while her weapons cooled and reloaded. From what she could see on her sensors, Kyle and Sigil were cleaning house, and beta lance was moving into position for some good flanking manuvers. She smiled to herself as her computer also marked the Liao forces at 33% strength.

((Aww, crap. I forgot to mention in my last post that the Quickdraw was my target))
