((Hey guys. Not starting the mission yet but I realized I made a few minor errors on the stat cards.

First off the recon drone should have the jump icon since it is a flying drone.

Then the repair drone should take up 1 torso OR 1 arm, not 1 torso AND 1 arm. In fact this should be the case for all drones as the hardpoint costs reflect the space taken up by the drone controller and have nothing to do with the size of the drone.))

>>43987486
Kail Shell plating takes up 1 torso AND 1 arm, right now all your arm slots are taken up by the impact hammer and tactical shield.

((Also a bit of errata: Any buffs to your mechs stats conferred by equipment do not stack. Instead the highest buff is applied. So you cannot stack shell plating with composite armour with a tac shield to get 7 damage reduction. You will only get 4. What you CAN do is stack buffs from your mech, friendly mechs, terrain and special actions. So you can get +2 Def from a threat assessment module, +2 Def from running and +2 Def from terrain concealment for a total of +6 Def.

>>43988495
what about armor + threat assessement module? Or is that a situational buff and thus qualify as separate?

>>43988681
Armour grants you damage reduction, Threat Assessment grants you Defense. It's two different stats so yes you get both buffs.

Alright let's get to it. I'll be giving the briefing now.

Your mission will be to assault the mountain stronghold of a local warlord deep in the Midas Range. The Warlord's forces are generally inferior to ours but he has the terrain advantage.

We'll be routing the cloud threads through the Bi-Frost satellite network so no need to worry about defending server farms.

Your primary objectives are as follows:
-Destroy the two anti-aircraft turrets sitting on top of the hardened mech hangers so that bombers can move in and crack the base open.
-Eliminate the Warlord should he show himself.

Enemy Intel:
Aerial recon shows Cobra class mecha equipped with mortars deployed along the ridge overlooking the approach to the base. They will likely try to bombard any forces advancing up the mountain paths on the left and right side of the mission area.

The paths themselves are defended by MBTs and Crocodile class mechs, equipped with ECM, Laser rifles, missiles and various utility add-ons. There is also a squadron of helicopter gunships sitting in reserve back at the base. They maybe fragile but they can deploy quickly and dish out a lot of damage with their missiles, don't underestimate them.

These are just the enemies we can see. Our spies also warn of the possible presence of additional mecha units, probably models made by Knight Lite. The Warlord himself is also know to take to battle in a customized Pugilist class mech. So be on your guard.

One last thing: The AA-Turrets can't depress enough to engage ground targets, but they are on constant overwatch, so be careful about performing jump moves and deploying flying drones within the base perimeter.

Any Questions?

>>43989049
Seems straightforward enough boss man.

>>43989049
Rough location for the anti air that will bother drones?

>>43989049
Oh well was going to try building one but I guess it's too late.

>>43989155
If our intel on the model of turret is correct, they should cover the area shown.

>>43989239
You can still jump in if you want. It'll take me a few more minutes to set up the mission.

>>43989267
Can drones and those with the cirrus mobility system keep low enough to the ground to deliberately avoid AA fire?

>>43989553
>>43989491
I'd just like to make a minor change. Switch Recon drone with Smartgun (LA)

>>43989614
Generally yes. The AA guns will attack you if you try to perform a jump action within their radius. You can still claim the mobility bonus.

As for drones well. Pilots are sensible enough to keep below the AA ceiling, but drones acting autonomously might stray...

>>43989701
Change approved. Try not to make a habit of this people I need to update my notes.

Unless you're removing drones, less drones makes my life easier

Warden 3 (and his amazing drone circus): Hunchback.
Linebreaker 4: Kail
Nimbus 5: Aimguy

All drones are marked with the same number as their owner and a letter. Generally speaking a shape with a circle around it indicates a flying drone, while one without is a ground drone.

Hexagon: Demolition drone
Octagon: Repair drone
Star: ECCM Drone

>>43989956
If you, your drones or any allied mechs and drones have a target lock, everyone else within sensor range of the tac-net hub can gain the benefits of that lock.

Command: We've arrived at the mission area, looks like intel was way off, sensors are picking up extra Errant and Batman class mecha on the field... This changes nothing, all units: COMMENCE ATTACK!

Lunchbox: Mecha squad this is the armored re-supply truck, call sign: Lunch-Box. If any of you run out of missiles I can help you out. Just remember I only have a small point defense turret so don't expect me to kill anything for you.

If warlord stayed back there they might have won. That's a lot of damage.

>>43994444
Alright guys that's the game. Thank you all for playing.

Did you enjoy the game?
For those that have played before; how did you like the new action economy?
Did the pictures give you adequate information about what's going on?
Leave any questions and comments below.

I'll linger for a couple more minutes, but I'm about to crash so I'll likely read the feedback later.

One last thing: I have enough content ready to launch the full campaign which I will do round the end of January. I'd do it sooner but RL stuff is happening.

>>43994528
>Did you enjoy the game?
Yes.
>Did the pictures give you adequate information about what's going on?
It was a bit confusing since there is a lot happening at once. Also I had no idea what mechs were called "batman"

>>43994528
that was fun, made some mistakes but was nice

Beyond the hiccup at the start where I learned mortar fire is not fun I think it went very well. I did have fun and I'm looking forward to more.

The only complaint is that I needed more time to decide where to place all my drones. But that is a pacing issue and partly my fault.

>>43994590
The chubby ones with the sticks. But the big secret was that two of the mechs on each side were actually decoy drones.

>>43994610
Well I kinda just placed everyone wherever at the start. Mostly for the sake of expediency.

>>43994605
What kind of mistakes?

I realise a big mistake I made was assuming that most of you guys attended the last mission since I displayed the equipment for the other companies there including the decoy drone and Guye co. mechs. But for new people they wouldn't even know decoys are a thing.

>mortar fire is not fun
Funny you say that, I was thinking about picking an Onager with a howitzer for whenever is the next thread.

I wish I had figured out it was drones earlier on, if I had I could have gone after the tank instead.

>>43994705
oh no, I made some mistakes. like trying to shoot a cloaked mech.

got hard to tell in the end tho, i think i was toast

>>43994528
Aww, I fell asleep in the end. But still, it was a ton of fun, so thanks a lot Command. I'll be looking forward your campaign.
