Ya, so my first thought was exactly that: he won’t be around next turn to finish off. So my logic was this. I can’t finish him with a torso destruction as he has clan xl engines, 2 engine hits and he’s still up, so I NEED the leg destruction.

So my options were:
91.66% chance to hit him needing a 4+; then for hit location I need a 3 (8.33%) or a 6 (13.88%)= total (22.21 %) chance to hit him in the right leg and rip it off.

Or
41.66% chance to hit him with 8+ for aiming at right leg; then for hit location I need a 6 (13.88%), 7 (16.66%), or 8 (13.88%) = total (44.42 %) chance to hit it. If those numbers weren’t rolled, then another 22.21% chance to hit the 3, or 6 locations normally.

I suppose I could've figured in the extra 2.77% chance to hit his head with the almost guaranteed first option, but I didn’t figure that into the second chance either.

So: I picked option 2. Still think it was the best option for me, although option 1 would've likely softened him up for future players targeting him.


You just did all that math right now, didn't you?!?! Smile I do appreciate the well thought out response though. It highlights that, more often then not, there is a reason to the madness! Smile


Yup, I actually thought I would just hit him with an 8 Scratch

It's Mordel rolling...I'm not surprised when someone misses needing a three.

Hey, I feel my rolling is extremely consistent. Albeit, that consistency is of the bad variety, but you can't have everything.

Well, that just happened!! Shocked

We now have a new leader as the previous two leaders were eliminated! Oh, and a 3rd is conscious. Such drama...

A minor correction. jymset had only walked, so actually did hit Mekslayer with both lasers. It was only 3 points to the left torso and didn't impact anything, so did not update the sheet at this time.

Thanks Pin. Sorry Jymset.
That was crazy. I was expecting Jymset to run in front of me, but somehow he ended up behind me. I picked a mech with the maingun in the arm so that I could maximize my firing options... seems like that came in handy.

You almost have to have at least one "big" arm mounted weapon in these kind of games...

Movement posted. Shouldn't be a lot of action this turn, but will another player or two be eliminated none-the-less?
