Welcome to Mega Mercs.

This is a tactical turn based collective game where each player takes on the role of a mech pilot, vehicle crew or cavalry rider. To join read the rule sheet and then select a unit and loadout from the quick start sheet.

This is the second mission that will help me test out the system, so don’t worry about long term progression, feel free to try things out and ask question.

New players welcome.

Quarter Master: ”Welcome to NORD. You’re quite a diverse bunch aren’t ya? Vehicles and mecha we have facilities for, but I can’t say our base has a space for mega cav. For now we’ve fenced off one of our helipads for you mounts to use. Ever since Major Zavrazin’s unit was wiped out we’ve had the space.”

Support unit list for those who want them.

I would advise against a build that relies purely on drones and infantry to do the fighting. It's highly recommended that your primary unit mounts a weapon of it's own.

Here's a quick summary of some of the rules changes since the last game.

Notable Changes
>Datalinks have infinite range.
>Signature dampening and sensor equipment/abilities have had their values tweaked, generally both are higher.
>Optical Detection symbol reworked to have detection range incorporated into the symbol itself.
>Mega Ursid cavalry unit added.
> An initial selection of gene mods and cybernetics for mega cavalry has been added to the armoury.
>Terror drone added to support units.

>Standby for breifing...

Oh one last change I forgot:
>Heavy EMP now inflicts EMP shock on hit instead of on damage.

Briefing:

“A week ago Neromius launched a large scale covert operation that crippled several of our costal defence units. This left key areas of our coastline vulnerable to invasion, and Neromius is doing just that. We thought we were safe behind our early warning radars and heavy missile batteries. Much of our military was preparing to deploy to meet the Neromian land invasion of neighbouring nations and to be honest we are in complete disarray.

Reports are coming in from across the coast; Neromian forces have already made land fall and are already pushing to consolidate their beachhead. Some of our forces have managed to set up defences but the bulk of our military is still in disarray. That is why we are currently hiring mercenary companies en-mass.

Your group will be tasked with reinforcing a unit holding a small port. Each port we manage to hold denies the Neromians the ability to land more troops and provides us with staging points for our own army and navy to secure the coast. You are to rendezvous with the infantry unit on site and protect the three air defence trucks from incoming attack waves. Several sections of coast have already fallen so they’ll be coming in from neighbouring AOs to the sides of this one.

>>4214624
The Neromians have not been able to land much in the way of heavy equipment just yet but their armoured cavalry units are easier to deploy and as dangerous as any main battle tank. I know the Neromians have a reputation for being violent barbarians, but make no mistake, they are not primitive. Their cavalry is likely to be supported by mobile gun platforms with electronic warfare capabilities. Further information can be found in the attached intelligence package.

Be prepared for anything mercenary, it’s chaos out there and the picture we have of the situation is far from complete. You better be worth the money, now get to work!”

Primary Objectives
>Ensure the survival of at least one air defence truck.

Secondary Objectives
>Ensure the survival of all air defence trucks.

very weird design, op. most of the units can hit each other for 10+ hp each turn (2/3+ of their hp) and can't recover after getting hit. that is, unless they get a shield or they're a Tegu but, even then, its two or three hits to kill at most.
Are we supposed to try to OHKO everything that gets into range before they can make attacks? Otherwise people will grind each other away pretty quickly, you can't really trade hits.

Based on Discord questioning and past erroneous movement commands it's occured to me that some of the map terrain is not as easy to read I I think it is.

Top Mech Hanger
Exits are the dark rectangles with little brown shapes on the side. The top hanger has these on the bottom, left and right sides.

Bottom Left Mech hanger
Exits are on the top, right and bottom sides.

Right Side Vehicle Bay
Exit is to the left.

Also: The mech hangers are low sloping buildings built into the ground like pic related while the right side tank bay with the tanks in it is taller.

All unit types can move up the sloped sides of the mech hangers and over the roofs while getting to the roof of the tank bay requires jump jets or mega cav with climb.

The enemy are upon you right from the start in this mission, I'd hate to see any of you squander your first turn attempting to move through a wall.

Also would I have needed a data link to gain the benefit of a friendly unit's lock on? What's datalinks used for I didn't see.

If I needed datalinks to use a friendly units lock on would you kindly replace the right arm smartgun with a standard sensor I wanna be able to bring in fire support.

Operator: "Well when you put it that way."

NORD Commander: "I'm giving you access to our tactical network such that it is. A few things to be mindful of: there are two CRAM turrets next to the HQ, their survival is not required but seeing as they protect the HQ from missiles and artillery you might want to keep them functional."

"I'm also authorising you to use the repair trucks Kilo and Lima to fix up your machines. Your logistics unit shipped in a lot of mega-cav fodder when you came to the base. I'm told herbivorous mega-cav with certain gene mods can use them for healing."

"I'd also prefer if you could keep captains Fedosova and Bortnik alive. We'll need our officers (and everyone else of course) alive if we are going to recover from this attack going forward."

((Mecha and tanks can receive 6HP worth of repairs by ending their turn adjacent to the repair trucks. Mega-cav with the herbivore regenerative metabolism can eat the fodder bales (the yellow squares with black bars) to trigger the healing ability.))

E-War doesn't help to lock on. Only the target's E-Def matters, and bears don't have any, so don't worry.

>>4219610
>?Can I fire the main battle tank gun twice in a round using two separate attack actions?
Nope, each weapon can only be used once per turn

It looks like locking on takes an action, so the E-war should have been to lock onto the bear, not that Birbman needed the lock-on to hit.

That Bear's probably still alive though with 1 or 3 HP depending on how crit damage works, so someone's going to need to finish it off. The main cannon critted, but none of my HMG shots did.

>>4219585
They have Advanced Sensor of 4 and Optical Stealth bypass of 4.
I'm more than four tiles away from all visible Megacav, and their attention is currently focused on things in the direction opposite to me.
If by chance they swing out towards me or I run into another Megacav lurking in the fog of war, then I have an increased chance to evade.
I'm not exactly sure what you expected me to accomplish with a movement range of 10 spaces and a single attack. Though I am quite certain that any offensive maneuver that I could have made would have been needlessly reckless and led to a swift and messy demise, so yes, I'm spending this turn to reposition.

>>4219663
>a single attack
Wait, don't you have two spikes?

They aren't linked weapons.
I need to make an action for each.

Yes. My mech is capable of 5 movement per action. That isn't enough to get into melee range with anything.
Spending both my M and U actions on movement could get me in range of a Megacav, but would leave me with a single A action for attacking.

Alright. I'm gonna have to ask you to stop right there. I forgot to deploy you last turn, that was my bad.

Here's the thing: everytime I approve a build I have to assemble a sprite and put together a statblock on the map. This becomes a huge pain in the ass if people keep changing their minds.

I haven't done this for you yet, but even now you've got multiple builds all over the thread and it's gonna make it hard for me to reference which one you're using.

The current one you've submitted is invalid; you can't have two types of armour. Because I've also made a mistake on my end I'll let you change your mind one last time.

If you still want to join the game, think carefully and post a valid build before the next processing deadline.

Right missed the one armor rule sorry. Really just wanna see how multiple automatic weapons on a turret works since I noticed the rule for co ax states you can fire EVERY weapon with a single action on a Co Ax mount.

Really sorry it's just the system's pretty cool when is comes to modularity on the builds you can make and I can't help myself thinking how I can fit as much Dakka onto something as possible.

Okay we've been having a lot of smoke on the battlefield and I've just realised that I've never once explained how it works.

Smoke as generated by smoke launchers and similar equipment. (Not to be confused with the smoke coming off the wrecks, which is just cosmetic.) blocks line of sight through it. Targets in smoke but not behind it inflict a -20 accuracy penalty on attacks made against them.

Also: Wrecks
By now the battlefield has lots of wrecks on it. Wrecks grant cover to targets behind them in the form of -10 accuracy against incoming attacks and 1 damage reduction (which stacks with any DR from equipment.)

Wrecks are also difficult terrain for all movement types and cost 2 mobility to navigate unless you're a mega-cav with jump.

The piles of green and red boxes have similar cover and difficult terrain properties to wrecks.

For now I'm going to rule that the bales of fodder do not count as cover or difficult terrain.

Finally: The large wreck of the air defence truck in the bottom right of the map blocks line of sight and is impassable terrain.

Megabears are scary, but they're also kinda cute, don't you think? When they aren't trying to eat you, of course. Makes you wish they wouldn't be pressed into service. Bears are for cuddles, not for killings!

On my end I've noticed a few things I want to change. Namely the temper mechanic for mega-cav. I actually just find it a huge pain in the ass to process and as a result I end up hoping nobody ever loses control.

For the next iteration I'm actually thinking of reducing the mega-cav action pool across the board and having the rider's control action grant more actions to the mount. I think this could have a better balancing effect on mega cav while reducing my mental load during processing.

Also: "I'm sorry about my chronic misprocessing. I will continue to do what I can to both stream line the ruleset and improve my processing technique."

It seems like this is it, dear viewers. Things got really hairy a few times, but we prevailed in the end!

This was the Tactical Idol, the singing angel of the battlefield! Look for my videos in all large record store chains, or subscribe for a mail delivery. Till next time!

And in honor of everyone who lost their lives, the final song for today will be Space Elevator to Heaven.

>>4227632
Now for the feedback. I think Longbow missiles might be a bit underpowered and/or redundant. A single Longbow can't kill anything, so you'll need at least two, and then you can just use a HK instead. The 3 hex range difference is not really that decisive, because you could use the act freed from launching the second Longbow to move closer.
I don't remember how tough the aircraft are, if it's <6HP Longbows can have the niche of air defence.

Are the player and opponent turns synchronous or asynchronous? It felt like some enemies received lethal damage and had time to strike back.

>>4228252
It's I go you go as far as I know. What you noticed could be processing errors or evading megacav.

>>4228252
Asynchronus. Players act first, NPCs after. As said by >>4229115
It was either processing errors or dodging mega-cav.
