Note: This is my third turn since the original shot was impossible.
((Cyclops is within 8 hexes, which is in medium range for my LB 10-X.))
((I am assuming since he is high up, I can spot him up there.))

Razma noticed a Cyclops starting to take aim, so Razma decided to get off the first shot before he could do anything. He managed to get him in his sights and fired. THe attack hit him right in the middle.

((Base is 4 +2 for medium range, +2 for enemy mech moving. 8 to hit.))
((Attack roll to hit is a... 10. Location roll is a 7, so a hit to the center torso.))
Final Damage:
Center Torso 10 damage.

OOC: D1105 to D1108, climb to D1109, wait.

BIC:
As the Ostroc fell, Sigil turned the Atlas south and marched it down towards the damaged Stalker near his position.

"Kyle, going up to draw the Stalker's fire. Cool off, then cover me."

Lucifer's targeting systems bracketed the enemy mech's head and shoulders as the reload and recharge indicators of his weapons neared completion.

(AMS...yes 5 destroyed, ammo used 10.)

Switching his main weapons to his Pulse Medium lasers, he brought the Stalker back under his guns. Firing, he watched both lasers strike their mark, scoring the Stalkers left arm and leg.

(base 3 + 4[long range]=7, neither of use moved)
Pulse Med- 7 hit; role 10-hit left arm for 6 damage
Pulse Med- 7 hit; role 9-hit left leg for 6 damage

heat: 7(alredy had) + 8 (pulse med x 2) + 2 (enviro) + 1 (AMS) = 18 - 20 (heatsinks) gives me 0 heat.

OOC: Walking to D708. Stalker's in short range for Mlasers and SRMs.

IC: Slowing to a walk as he got hit, Adam put his crosshairs over the Stalker again. Working his way closer to the enemy mech, it made it easy for him to fire his close range weapons. Pulling the trigger knowing something would hit at this range, the lasers and SRMs on his mech were let loose on the mech.

Two of the lasers made contact, one hitting the leg the Ryan had hit, and the other hitting it in the torso. The one SRM that managed to lock, however, hit it dead center in the torso, making contact with something in the process.

After seeing it get hit, Adam opened a channel to Kyle, just in case it was still standing after that. "I'm pretty sure that Stalker can take only a few more hits. So, care to do the honors if it's still standing?"

OOC: TN: Base 3, +1 walking, and +2 because Squishy said so (I think). Total TN is 6.

Attack: Mlas1- 1+2=3 miss. Mlas2- 2+6=8 hit. Mlas3- 4+5=9 hit. SRM-2- 4+5=9 hit.

Location/Damage: Mlas2- 9, so 5 damage to left leg. Mlas3- 6, so 5 damage to right torso. SRM-2- 2, so 2 damage to Center Torso (rolled a 5 on the missles, so 1 missle hit)

Criticals: Rolled an 8, so 1 critical. Critical Location Roll: 4 (don't know what it hit with that roll)

Heat: 11 + 2 +1 - 15 = 0

Can someone tell me what that critical location is so I can edit it in? Thanks in advance.

((4 is lower center torso. I rolled a 3 to determine, meaning engine hit. +5 Heat for the duration of the battle for the Stalker))

((PPCs and SRMs are ready to fire, heat index is at zero now.))

((Faces D1006))

Kyle waited for the heat to bleed off as he brought his guns around to level on the battle-scarred Stalker.

"I'd be glad to," Kyle radioed in response to Adam's question. He locked the PPCs on the mech and opened fire.

The first PPC vaped armor off the mech's right missile launcher, while the second one cored into the Center Torso and tore into internal components.

((Range is short (4) for ER PPCs. Need a 5 to hit (3 base +1 for walking +2 for evasive action)

((ER PPC 1 - 6 (hit) 4 (Right Arm) 10 damage))
((ER PPC 2 - 11 (hit) 2 (CRITICAL HIT: Center Torso) 9 (1 Critical Hit) 10 damage))

OOC: If I need to roll which critical was hit, let me know, I haven't had to do that before.

((If you don't mind, I'll calculate. 1+3 = Engine hit. Stalker has two engine hits, for +10 heat every round for duration. 1 more engine hit will neutralize it.))
((On your mech status sheet, it'll have roll numbers for critical hits. You roll top or bottom (1-3/4-6) with 1d6 to determine which hardpoints are affected, and then another d6 to determine the slot.))

Example.
Center Torso, Stalker (CT is the same for all mechs, last two slots are free.)
1-3
1.)Engine
2.)Engine
3.)Engine-HIT, +5 Heat
4.)Gyro
5.)Gyro
6.)Gyro
4-6
1.)Gyro
2.)Engine
3.)Engine-HIT, +5 Heat
4.)Engine
5.)Empty
6.)Empty

Engine Hits: [X][X][ ]
Gyro Hits: [ ][ ]

[QUOTE=Armored Bishoujo]OOC: Catching up. Just yell at me if I can't actually make these movements. I need education.

Tillie's Actions
Movement: Walking from A0613 to D0604.

Tillie pressed the Viktor into motion, sure that she was being overly cautious about keeping it from falling over but mentally unready to spur it into a full run. Regardless, at least she had reached the area the commander said they should be at.
So, get as high as I can and use line-of-sight to draw targets and fire. Here goes.

((Actually, you can't. That moves through two hexes of rough terrain and ascends 3 elevation levels twice. You can only walk up 2 elevation levels. How about instead, you move to D802 and form up with Alpha lance, since your mech is assault class?))

Karen watched Tillie's Victor slowly and cautiously edge up onto the field behind Alpha lance. Karen admired her courage, but any lack of confidence could actually be detrimental to the team. It was also almost comical to see such a large mech like a Victor move so timidly.

Opening a private channel to Tillie's mech, a vid of Karen popped up in the Victor's lower right HUD, right over the damage readout.

"Tillie, I know you're new at this, but we need every gun we've got. Since you're not in a lance, why don't you form on me? Just follow my mech and shoot the bad guys, okay?" She said, trying to act as friendly as possible.

Edit: I thought Adam's lance was already full, with SC/Lazy/Nathano/Chocobo, leaving you the odd pilot out, but I may be wrong.

OOC: "D'oh! Well, then maybe..."

Tillie's Actions
Movement: Run from A613 to 814, Run from A814 to D0802, Face 903.

Tillie paused, finding her original passage impossible to take.
"Well, shit..."
"Tillie, I know you're new at this, but we need every gun we've got. Since you're not in a lance, why don't you form on me? Just follow my mech and shoot the bad guys, okay?"
Tillie almost yelped when someone's voice came on the comms. She recognized them Karen's. "I'm not in a lance? I thought Commander Adam was my lance commander."
Tillie looked at her sensors. Just a little farther southeast and she should have line of sight on the enemy.
Just trust your training and targeting systems and let 'em have it.

The cyclops took ceareful aim trying to knock the feet out from the atlas. She took such careful aim she didn't notice the Stalker moving in the way of her trajectory. The gauss rifle fired its silvery shot striking the stalker in the back. The nickle shot spreading molten metal over the engine destroying three heat sinks. The computer in the stalker registered the heat spike prompting a shut down.

Blitz Spun his locust around and started a sprint noticing the medium and light that entered his area.

"I've got two hostiles at 3 and 4 o'clock."

(Sprint to A1409)

Edit; typo, good catch Wolf

((Walk to 1003, Target Witworth at D1408, Short Range. It hasn't moved, so 3+ to hit with Linked LRMs. I think I can make that. ;) ))

Karen brought her Crusader out from behind the hill again, drawing her crosshairs across a stationary Witworth that had been scanning the battle from atop the hill. She noticed a Marik Cyclops nail their own battered Stalker with it's gauss rifle in the distance, and Karen rolled her eyes at the incompetant spectacle.

"Amateurs." She whispered, as her LRM crosshairs sung sweet tone over the Witworth.

The LRMs streaked in a lazy arc over the desert, slamming into numerous areas of the Witworth, concentrated mainly along the mech's right side.

((6+1=7, Hit. 9+7 mean 21 missles launch. 5 Missiles hit 4, Right arm, dealing 5 damage. 5 Missiles hit 6, Right torso, dealing 5 damage. 5 Missiles hit 4, Right arm, Dealing 5 damage. 5 Missiles hit 4, Right arm, dealing 5 damage. 1 Missile hits 12, head, dealing 1 damage.))

(face 0308)

"Hey Razma, want some help?" Ryan said as he turned his 'Mechs torso and took aim at the Cyclops. Excellent. He's in short range of my ER Large Lasers. Pressing the triggers, twin lances of light streaked towards the enemy 'Mech. As he watched, he saw them connect, hitting the left torso and right arm.

(3 base, short range, neither of us moved, no heat, means I need 3 to hit.)

ER Large - 5; location- 8 left torso; 8 damage
ER Large - 7; location- 3 right arm; 8 damage

Heat: 12(laser) + 12(laser) + 2(enviro) =26 - 20 = 6

OOC: Turn to face the Whitworth

BIC: Sigil cursed as the gauss rifle slug took out the Stalker he had been planning to flank, then as he saw Ryan blast the Cyclops, he realised that it would be too far away for him to reach.

Then he sighted the Whitworth on the hill, and a grin crossed his face.

The desert sands trembled as Sigil released another volley, and this time the massive AC/20 struck the Whitworth square on the head, blowing it and a small chunk of the center torso cleanly away as the Atlas' four lasers scored its torso and arms. It staggered around drunkenly for a moment, then collapsed like the pile of salvage that it was.

"Double kill," he muttered to himself.

OOC: Partial Alpha Strike

Base TN 3, short range +0, stationary attacker +0, stationary defender +0. Total TN of 3.

AC/20 5 (hit) 12 (HEAD SHOT)
Medium Laser 5 (hit) 8 (Left Torso)
Medium Laser 9 (hit) 8 (Left Torso)
Medium Laser 9 (hit) 4 (Right Arm)
Medium Laser 5 (hit) 10 (Left Arm)

Karen sighed as Sigil's Atlas blasted her target straight into next year with it's 200mm AC-20. She had a healthy respect for those big autocannons now.

"Waste of missles..." She sighed, scanning for more targets, and sending on a private channel to Sigil, "Hey! He was mine. Nice shot though, ha-Ha!" Karen said jokingly, with a smile. "Only a few more to go, eh?"

"Good job alpha lance. Let's finish these guys up quick and regroup for mop-up." Karen said over lance comms.

OOC: Turn to D807, run to D1006.

IC: Running to the north, Adam took his turn at issuing orders.

"Ryan and Razma, keep on that Cyclops, and help out with the clean up when you're done. Tillie, form up with me and we'll help out Blitz."

It really wasn't all that neccessary, but Adam opened up a channel to Karen in order to tell her what he ws thinking.

"Karen, why don't you take alpha lance south for the clean up. Tillie and I are going to help out Blitz with the strays."

ooc:umm maybe I wrote that wrong. The Goliath is not there

"Roger." Karen replied to Adam, "We'll finish up here."

She clicked back to Tillie's channel, "Well, nothing more here. Go on with Adam, we've got D sector covered."

OOC: Okay, I caught SC's typo, so I have to redo everything. No biggie though.

((Runs to 1007, faces 1108)

Kyle decided to leave the Grasshopper to the lighter mechs.

"I'm bringing up the rear, Karen." he radioed.

((1103-D to 1505-D, ran))

"Eeny, meeny, miney, moe...I think I'll go blow up stuff over there. I'm backing up the other lance, Lieutenant, okay?"

IC: (sprint to A0917)
Blitz's locust runs over the dunes as the stinger and dervish engage each other.

"The stinger is a backstabber, be advised. I'm going to flank and engage."

OOC: D1107 to E0105

BIC: The missile batteries dinged with a cheerful note as they signalled their reload. Sigil thumbed the comlink to Karen as he geared away from the remnants of the Marik forces.

"Karen, should we head for the Fedcoms?"

((move to 905, facing 805, getting up on that hill for LRM-tastic artillery support.))

"No, let the Kuritans deal with them a bit more. Jumping in now is just going to go badly for us if we draw both their fire. Finish up these guys first." Karen replied to Sigil.

She edged her Crusader up the mountain to get a bird's eye view of the battlefield, and a good shot at anyone with her LRMs.

OOC:E0105 back to D1107

BIC:

"Right, NOW you tell me..."

Sigil turned the Atlas around, just as his other weapons came online again. He noted critically that he only had 8 more autocannon shots left - he'd have to make them count.

((Run to 1108, face 1109, run to 1109 (all in sector D, of course)))

The Warhammer quickly charged through a narrow gully as Kyle sought to seek a higher elevation.

They can't hide behind hills forever...
