Anybody got a sitrep for me? @.@<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'll spit out a sitrep for you, then.<br/><br/>At the Research Base (2 Kilometres North of Museum); Erich and Alroy have taken severe damage, but are outside the wall, with Walt (in a Rommel 'Clanbuster' Variant Tank). The Neutral Raven (Phaia) and Kismet are still inside the wall of the reserach base, with orders to run like their panties are on fire. Defiance has up and disappeared, and Graff is on the last leg of his escort duties, with orders to return to Erich's position as 'Rearguard' with the Neutral Orion that just used Indirect LRM fire to kablam a bunch of fuel trucks to distract the Research Base's forces.<br/><br/>Inside the City, still, is Maho, near the Power plant which she just kablammed; she's closest to what's left of the Locust and Spider, so Erich just told her to check for survivors; If they're dead or too wounded to move, well, she'll have to leave them, and the company will pay ransom if the two are still alive and unable to be extracted.<br/><br/>Outside the City is Miyoko and Ranna, who have Orders to go to the Forest's Edge rendezvous point and blast anything with a hostile IFF that pokes their nose out at the company's extraction point. (Eg; everything that's NOT the company, Neutral units, or Walt's tank) Of note is that Miyoko appears to have gone Kuritan in mind again, and is assuming that the mission was a suicide run, instead of just having the universe's worst Intelligence. And yes, Erich's LIVID at the lack of intel, and Perkins deliverately withholding intelligence regarding support.<br/><br/>Damage-wise, Erich's Awesome is only standing through sheer willpower and guts; anyone that's not seen a classic 'Zombie-Mech' in action will get a good look at what one looks like when it comes out the 'winner' of having a Reinforced Battalion Dogpile it. Alroy's Crab has taken mostly light damage to the front, but ate a Gauss round into an ammo bay; the left torso and arm are effectively disabled due to severed control conduits and internal structure damage. The arm's still attached, mind, just about as useful as Nipples on a Crocodile.<br/><br/>Kismet's taken light damage to her armour, and is at around half ammo. Graff's taken even less damage due to being on Escort duty, but is happily tangling with two Trebuchets, and his AC-5 has a jam; I expect him to win, but get banged up in the process; How much of a bang it'll be is up to how much the Orion nearby supports him.<br/><br/>Recon lance has taken next to no damage; light armour damage to all three Recon lance survivors, with the Shadow Hawk's right leg having taken the worst of it, through it still has armour to guard its joints; No recon 'mech has taken internal damage.<br/><br/>The Support has taken minimal damage, in part due to being 'late to the party'; the Raven has taken some light damage due to being peppered with LRMs from one of the three Atlas' in pursuit of Assault Lance, the Orion is undamaged, though he had a near-miss caused by Perkins being a shithead and not telling anyone that he had support lined up.<br/><br/>The Opposition is not looking healthy either; Erich's killed 6 Cataphracts and the Pillager, and has 'damage' credits on another 5 cataphracts; there's a reason his 'mech is so chewed up. Alroy's killed at least two Cataphracts, possibly more, and has an Assist on the Pillager and one of the Atlas'. Lily, in her Axman, has killed at least two Cataphracts. Graff is tangling with two Trebuchets and splattered a Jenner earlier; I expect him to get at least one kill and an assist, possibly two kills. Recon Lance has, between them, killed the power to a city, blown up a half-dozen attack buggies, and Harlequin reminded a Vindicator (PPC, LRM-5, Medium Laser) that the Hatchetman is the Superior In-fighter.<br/><br/>So, basically, the Company has punched far above their weight, leaving, at most, 24 confirmed Enemy 'mechs hunting for them, 7 with damage ranging from tumbled Gyros and gravity-removed armour to amputated limbs and severe internal damage, and only two actually in combat with a member of the company. There's also approximately 6 to 12 'battle buggies' pretending to be a threat, but they're only a threat inside the city; on the open field between the city and the forest, anyone with a steady hand can turn the buggies into flaming wreckage with a few shots. (Personally, I'd assume there's a second Jenner and Second Vindicator lurking around as well, which puts the Enemy 'mech force up to an even 40 total 'mechs, of which 14 have been turned into scrap metal, at the cost of 50 tons of light 'mechs.)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157975.msg7566440#msg7566440">Quote from: Phaia on 19-01-2013, 17:35:21</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Great when did it become night time...according to erich its predawn now...did we have one of those time shifts again?...</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Nope; mission started at Approximately 0300 Local time (3 AM), and it's now closer to 0530 or so; the actual shooting part has only been the last 15 minutes when things got Craaaazy.
