Kudos to the Union for killing the Manticore! Our of curisoity, how is it that it fired medium lasers at it when the Manticore is so far away? Can you tell I never play with anything besides Mechs and Tanks? _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator

We are using the LOS Range rules.
TO pg. 85: +8 to-hit, distance is literal LOS but weapons need to meet range limits (13 hexes for ballistic/missile and 7 hexes energy), and less damage. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

... and also I believe aerospace weapons have a longer range don't they? I believe for aerospace the small laser has a range of 9... not including the difference in altitude.

Only when airborne i believe. And no, a SL is a short weapon and has a range of 6. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

Eggcellent Vagabond....
So when aero are airborne their weapons hit at longer ranges than ours mech weapons do correct?
I just play but don't know the exact rules, which is why I thought I should ask so we all get familiar with them.

Good work everyone.
After we mop up these tanks, let's move onto the base and start crippling some critical infrastructure. Leave the run ways intact, but the control tower and hangers need to go.
Save ammo, use lasers.
We don't need a company of Free Worlders coming down on us without ammo and with our backs exposed.
(Umm... Vagabond... What buildings are the critical airbase buildings? Or once we beat these tanks is the operation finished?)

Send in the lights and meds to assult the buildings while the rest provide overwatch protection. _________________ Today is a good day to die!!

Despite it's best attempts, the Prowler just couldn't dodge long enough and suffered an unlucky strike into its ammo bin. Blowing it to bits in seconds. With their moral broken and the thought of a fiery death on their minds, the crew of the Manticore shut down their tank and begin to crawl out.
[i made an oops and saved the map post NPC movement.]
Do you wish to declare victory or force the PBIs to run off map? _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

Fenstermaker broadcasts.. "Enemy Rifle Platoon. Surrender now or die" and jets towards the running forms.
He clicks his internal Mic, "Do what you want with the rest, I'll get these before they disappear and get dug in again." _________________ "My Blood is not mine to give, it belongs to my Brothers"

I think we should declare victory.
In Character:
*Grumbles internally at Fenstermaker forgetting to mention to those PBIs that they would be returned to their command as per the Ares Convention*
*Realizes Fenstermaker is over 750m from the infantry and they likely didn't hear much of that threat from inside their building*
On radio, all frequencies:
"Marik Infantry Force, surrender. If you do, you will be treated fairly under the Ares Conventions and released when we burn off planet. Resist and you will die. Kindly, the Mech company sitting at your doorstep."

Mission Complete. The remaining units surrender and are taken into custody. Do you summon the non-comm DS to your location? _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.
