				Two words: Hormone therapy.<br><br>~Vanya<br><br>I seem to recall having read somewhere that menstrual cycles tend to synchronize among cohabiting groups of females. That means they are ALL going to be PMSing at roughly the same time. I hope the Colonel has the good sense to put them all into assault 'Mechs and lay on combat operations that week.

				Now when we are on the topic of Ranna's vuluptousness or not, here are a few changes in ranks since the last time around. More information on ranks will be available soon...ish.<br><br>Ranna and Erich are promoted to the rank of Captain. It is among these that command of the 'Mech company will be divided before each mission.<br><br>Alroy, Ailis and Robert are promoted Lieutenants. They handle the direct command of lances.<br><br>Sergeants are awesome dudes, like we all know. Are any of you new guys bad enough dudes to save the president?<br><br>The rest of you new ones (characters that is) are MechWarriors until further notice. If you are interested in taking on a position of Ensign to be allowed future training as an officer or being a badass Sergeant, just say so.<br><br><br>And now about missions. I have already set out some missions and will be posting them once we start so that you may choose one. They all reflect a different array of tactical implementation and climates as well as representing different factions. As such the missions you choose will have consequences on your reputation among the factions as well as pulling you back and forth along the political spectrum of the Inner Sphere. Thoughts and opinions?

				Anyone up to being the person who saved Lee from the rockslide? An officer would be best. Here's her current bio for your convenience (some dates and names will need to be changed, of course):<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Xuē Lei Fang</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Click to see pic!</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2109/katanaheroinebyrickysu.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Xuē Lei Fang (Lee)<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Ban-zhang (Lieutenant), serving as Mechwarrior with Stryker's Strikers<br><strong>Unit:</strong> Stryker's Strikers, home unit: Warrior House Fujita battlemech battalion<br><strong>Homeworld:</strong> Grand Base, Capellan Confederation<br><strong>Age:</strong> 20<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'3”<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 102lbs<br><br><strong>History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Lei was born on the planet Styk and orphaned by the fighting there during the Fourth Succession War. She was lucky enough to be among those rescued by a Warrior House Fujita mechwarrior when he stole away with a <em>Mammoth</em> class dropship loaded with freed prisoners and Davion battlemechs.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Needing to rebuild, House Fujita took in many of the orphans, including Lei, to begin training them in their monastic mechwarrior tradition, based on the tenets of Bushido. So it is that Lei has known very little else in her life, having trained every day in a wide array of the arts of war since she six years old. She was identified as a solid candidate for the Fujita mech battalion early on, and her training focused there ever since, though she is just as diversely skilled as any other member of a Confederation Warrior House. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Despite her youth, Lei is a highly skilled and talented mechwarrior, more experienced than many her age due to the severe and regimented training she's undergone for almost the whole of her life. This is not to say she's what passes for 'experienced', exactly, only that she's far more capable than most mechwarriors her age. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;In addition to her excellent skills in the cockpit of her <em>Warhammer</em>, one of the mechs stolen in that dropship and recently refitted, Lei has also received thorough infantry training, enough to qualify her for special operations by the militaries of most of the Successor States. She is an expert martial artist and knows full well how to wield the katana she carries, and she is a passable computer hacker and knows her way around a demolitions kit.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Sometimes, all the training in the galaxy isn't enough keep someone out of trouble, though, as Lei found out on only her third mission as an active duty mechwarrior. Separated from her unit while they engaged in a running night battle with the mercenary unit Stryker's Strikers, she seized the chance to try and ambush one of the Strikers' lances when the opportunity presented itself. Concealing her mech out of sight on a ledge against a cliff face overlooking a ravine, she waited, listening for her pursuers to pass below. She was reasonably certain they wouldn't even notice the ledge in the dark of night, and would assume she was still ahead of them; Lei wouldn't have, only she'd noted it earlier in the day. It would have been easy to cripple them, firing her <em>Warhammer's</em> considerable arsenal into the rear armour of the Strikers' mechs, but fortunately for them, when Lei's 70 ton mech went to step out from hiding, the ledge gave way under it, dragging Lei and her battlemech down in to the ravine and starting a rockslide that threatened all of them. Staggering back to it's feet, Lei's <em>Warhammer</em> was about to be smashed flat by a huge check of stone when the lead Striker mech, which turned out to be the commander himself in his <em>Highlander</em>, shoved Lei out of the way.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;She still wound up on her <em>Warhammer's</em> ass, pinned and mostly buried by rock and dirt. The Strikers had come out of the rock slide just fine, however, and seeing the four mechs move in to surround her, Lei thought for sure she was finished, one way or another. To her surprise, at the direction of the <em>Highlander</em>, they began to dig her out.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;If it had been a simple matter of capture, Lei would have committed seppuku to cleanse her honour and be done with it, but the Strikers' commander had probably actually saved her life. Owing him a debt of honour, though displeased with the situation, Lei convinced Stryker to let her join him. She's not sure why, but perhaps it's just as simple as he doesn't want to feel responsible for her suicide should he not respect her sense of honour and give her the opportunity to pay back the life-debt the old fashioned way.<br><br>(http://www.sarna.net/wiki/images/c/c0/Warhammer.jpg)<br><br><strong>WHM-6LC <em>Warhammer</em></strong><br><strong>Chassis:</strong> Starcorp 100<br><strong>Engine:</strong> Magna 280 (uses DHS)<br><strong>Mass:</strong> 70 tons<br><strong>Max Walk Speed:</strong> 43.2kph<br><strong>Max Speed:</strong> 62.8kph<br><strong>Armour:</strong> 10.5 tons Ferro-fibrous<br><strong>Heat Sinks:</strong> 16 Double Heat Sinks<br><strong>Weapons:</strong><br>--2x Ceres Metals Warrior ER-PPC [Right Arm, Left Arm]<br>--2x Martell Medium Laser [Right Torso, Left Torso]<br>--2x Magna Small Laser [Right Torso, Left Torso]<br>--2x FlameTech K-213 Flamer [Right Torso, Left Torso]<br>--1x Holly Short Range Missile Pack (6) SRM-6 w/ 1 ton ammunition [Right Torso]<br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>--Artemis IV Fire Control System for SRM-6 [Right Torso]<br>--CASE [Right Torso] </div></div><br>If Lee is not going to work, I'm not that worried.

Her eyes are a startling pale blue, and if it weren't for the pallor of her alabaster skin they would look very out of place beside her red hair. The rest of her features are delicate and pretty, from her pouty mouth to slender waist and dainty feet. Kate's breasts are smallish, but a nice size for a small woman like her, and pert, and it seems like she gets most of her 5'2" from her stunning legs. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">History:</span></strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Kathryn Emily MacTaggart is the eldest child and heir to her families land and holdings on the Lyran Alliance world of Skye. The MacTaggart's are what could be described as 'landed' mercenaries, mercenaries with long standing ties to House Steiner, or more appropriately, the Federation of Skye, but they are still mercenaries. Their ties date back to final days of the Star League, when one Captain Jennifer MacTaggart (keeping the MacTaggart name through marriages is tradition), a test pilot at the Hesperus II facilities decided to stay in the Inner Sphere along with so many other <em>Atlas</em> pilots, in hopes of bettering her station through her powerful mech. It worked.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Kate herself was raised into this warrior household, despite being essentially a member of the minor nobility, to take over the front line duties of the head of the household. She trained from a young age, learning to fire small arms and assist the house techs as they worked on the massive <em>Atlas</em>. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After a hard fought battle, Kate's father wound up injured to the point where he could no longer serve on the front lines, and so he turned to <em>Atlas</em> over to her despite her young age, just shy of sixteen. Kate's father has since taken an instructors position at Sanglamore Academy on Skye, piloting an old <em>Crusader</em> mech his own father had captured on the field decades earlier.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;So it was that already in possession of her own assault mech, Kate was sent off to the Sanglamore Academy to formally study as a mechwarrior. It was standard fare; Kate did well, her outgoing nature and beauty helping her to get along with the other students, almost all from privileged families such as her own. Kate made one important friend in the quartermasters office there, a supplier of booze when she was a student, and even more useful things now.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After graduation, Kate took a contract with the Skye Rangers, filling out an assault company with her own mech. She negotiated for ammunition and a decent percentage of repairs so it wasn't the end of the world when the op when pear-shaped and there was an entire extra battalion of Snakes there. They fought their way free, the battalion sized raiding force of Skye Rangers had brought an assault company along and they sure proved their worth after some bumpy, but effective, redeployment by their <em>Union</em> dropship crew. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After this battle, Kate decided to not replace the old Star League gauss rifle, and the last spare from her families secret stockpile had been used almost 20 years ago, instead installing an ultra-AC/20 (her father had already replaced the old SRM6 with a Streak model as soon as he'd been able to get his hands on one). Kate likes the increased firepower, feeling the ER large lasers and LRM20 are ample long range firepower. The massive, rapid firing autocannon is far more of a heat burden than the old gauss rifle, but since hardly anyone can stand up to it, it's hopefully worth it.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Kate took a contract with another merc unit next, and it turned out to be a banner couple of years. They saw a lot of action, moved around quite a bit, and did quite well. In a lot of ways, it was like a roving party with a few battles breaking it up, the time of Kate's life with lots of hot sex and insane battles.*<br><br>*I'm thinking that unit could be the Dark Angels?

An officer would be best. Here's her current bio for your convenience (some dates and names will need to be changed, of course):<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Xuē Lei Fang</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Click to see pic!</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2109/katanaheroinebyrickysu.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Xuē Lei Fang (Lee)<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Ban-zhang (Lieutenant), serving as Mechwarrior with Stryker's Strikers<br><strong>Unit:</strong> Stryker's Strikers, home unit: Warrior House Fujita battlemech battalion<br><strong>Homeworld:</strong> Grand Base, Capellan Confederation<br><strong>Age:</strong> 20<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'3”<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 102lbs<br><br><strong>History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Lei was born on the planet Styk and orphaned by the fighting there during the Fourth Succession War. She was lucky enough to be among those rescued by a Warrior House Fujita mechwarrior when he stole away with a <em>Mammoth</em> class dropship loaded with freed prisoners and Davion battlemechs.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Needing to rebuild, House Fujita took in many of the orphans, including Lei, to begin training them in their monastic mechwarrior tradition, based on the tenets of Bushido. So it is that Lei has known very little else in her life, having trained every day in a wide array of the arts of war since she six years old. She was identified as a solid candidate for the Fujita mech battalion early on, and her training focused there ever since, though she is just as diversely skilled as any other member of a Confederation Warrior House. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Despite her youth, Lei is a highly skilled and talented mechwarrior, more experienced than many her age due to the severe and regimented training she's undergone for almost the whole of her life. This is not to say she's what passes for 'experienced', exactly, only that she's far more capable than most mechwarriors her age. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;In addition to her excellent skills in the cockpit of her <em>Warhammer</em>, one of the mechs stolen in that dropship and recently refitted, Lei has also received thorough infantry training, enough to qualify her for special operations by the militaries of most of the Successor States. She is an expert martial artist and knows full well how to wield the katana she carries, and she is a passable computer hacker and knows her way around a demolitions kit.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Sometimes, all the training in the galaxy isn't enough keep someone out of trouble, though, as Lei found out on only her third mission as an active duty mechwarrior. Separated from her unit while they engaged in a running night battle with the mercenary unit Stryker's Strikers, she seized the chance to try and ambush one of the Strikers' lances when the opportunity presented itself. Concealing her mech out of sight on a ledge against a cliff face overlooking a ravine, she waited, listening for her pursuers to pass below. She was reasonably certain they wouldn't even notice the ledge in the dark of night, and would assume she was still ahead of them; Lei wouldn't have, only she'd noted it earlier in the day. It would have been easy to cripple them, firing her <em>Warhammer's</em> considerable arsenal into the rear armour of the Strikers' mechs, but fortunately for them, when Lei's 70 ton mech went to step out from hiding, the ledge gave way under it, dragging Lei and her battlemech down in to the ravine and starting a rockslide that threatened all of them. Staggering back to it's feet, Lei's <em>Warhammer</em> was about to be smashed flat by a huge check of stone when the lead Striker mech, which turned out to be the commander himself in his <em>Highlander</em>, shoved Lei out of the way.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;She still wound up on her <em>Warhammer's</em> ass, pinned and mostly buried by rock and dirt. The Strikers had come out of the rock slide just fine, however, and seeing the four mechs move in to surround her, Lei thought for sure she was finished, one way or another. To her surprise, at the direction of the <em>Highlander</em>, they began to dig her out.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;If it had been a simple matter of capture, Lei would have committed seppuku to cleanse her honour and be done with it, but the Strikers' commander had probably actually saved her life. Owing him a debt of honour, though displeased with the situation, Lei convinced Stryker to let her join him. She's not sure why, but perhaps it's just as simple as he doesn't want to feel responsible for her suicide should he not respect her sense of honour and give her the opportunity to pay back the life-debt the old fashioned way.<br><br>(http://www.sarna.net/wiki/images/c/c0/Warhammer.jpg)<br><br><strong>WHM-6LC <em>Warhammer</em></strong><br><strong>Chassis:</strong> Starcorp 100<br><strong>Engine:</strong> Magna 280 (uses DHS)<br><strong>Mass:</strong> 70 tons<br><strong>Max Walk Speed:</strong> 43.2kph<br><strong>Max Speed:</strong> 62.8kph<br><strong>Armour:</strong> 10.5 tons Ferro-fibrous<br><strong>Heat Sinks:</strong> 16 Double Heat Sinks<br><strong>Weapons:</strong><br>--2x Ceres Metals Warrior ER-PPC [Right Arm, Left Arm]<br>--2x Martell Medium Laser [Right Torso, Left Torso]<br>--2x Magna Small Laser [Right Torso, Left Torso]<br>--2x FlameTech K-213 Flamer [Right Torso, Left Torso]<br>--1x Holly Short Range Missile Pack (6) SRM-6 w/ 1 ton ammunition [Right Torso]<br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>--Artemis IV Fire Control System for SRM-6 [Right Torso]<br>--CASE [Right Torso] </div></div><br>If Lee is not going to work, I'm not that worried.

Her eyes are a startling pale blue, and if it weren't for the pallor of her alabaster skin they would look very out of place beside her red hair. The rest of her features are delicate and pretty, from her pouty mouth to slender waist and dainty feet. Kate's breasts are smallish, but a nice size for a small woman like her, and pert, and it seems like she gets most of her 5'2" from her stunning legs. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">History:</span></strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Kathryn Emily MacTaggart is the eldest child and heir to her families land and holdings on the Lyran Alliance world of Skye. The MacTaggart's are what could be described as 'landed' mercenaries, mercenaries with long standing ties to House Steiner, or more appropriately, the Federation of Skye, but they are still mercenaries. Their ties date back to final days of the Star League, when one Captain Jennifer MacTaggart (keeping the MacTaggart name through marriages is tradition), a test pilot at the Hesperus II facilities decided to stay in the Inner Sphere along with so many other <em>Atlas</em> pilots, in hopes of bettering her station through her powerful mech. It worked.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Kate herself was raised into this warrior household, despite being essentially a member of the minor nobility, to take over the front line duties of the head of the household. She trained from a young age, learning to fire small arms and assist the house techs as they worked on the massive <em>Atlas</em>. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After a hard fought battle, Kate's father wound up injured to the point where he could no longer serve on the front lines, and so he turned to <em>Atlas</em> over to her despite her young age, just shy of sixteen. Kate's father has since taken an instructors position at Sanglamore Academy on Skye, piloting an old <em>Crusader</em> mech his own father had captured on the field decades earlier.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;So it was that already in possession of her own assault mech, Kate was sent off to the Sanglamore Academy to formally study as a mechwarrior. It was standard fare; Kate did well, her outgoing nature and beauty helping her to get along with the other students, almost all from privileged families such as her own. Kate made one important friend in the quartermasters office there, a supplier of booze when she was a student, and even more useful things now.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After graduation, Kate took a contract with the Skye Rangers, filling out an assault company with her own mech. She negotiated for ammunition and a decent percentage of repairs so it wasn't the end of the world when the op when pear-shaped and there was an entire extra battalion of Snakes there. They fought their way free, the battalion sized raiding force of Skye Rangers had brought an assault company along and they sure proved their worth after some bumpy, but effective, redeployment by their <em>Union</em> dropship crew. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;After this battle, Kate decided to not replace the old Star League gauss rifle, and the last spare from her families secret stockpile had been used almost 20 years ago, instead installing an ultra-AC/20 (her father had already replaced the old SRM6 with a Streak model as soon as he'd been able to get his hands on one). Kate likes the increased firepower, feeling the ER large lasers and LRM20 are ample long range firepower. The massive, rapid firing autocannon is far more of a heat burden than the old gauss rifle, but since hardly anyone can stand up to it, it's hopefully worth it.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Kate took a contract with another merc unit next, and it turned out to be a banner couple of years. They saw a lot of action, moved around quite a bit, and did quite well. In a lot of ways, it was like a roving party with a few battles breaking it up, the time of Kate's life with lots of hot sex and insane battles.*<br><br>*I'm thinking that unit could be the Dark Angels?

				I hadn't imagined this as simple chair simulators.&nbsp; I imagined it as a room of ten or twelve modules that were networked.&nbsp; Each Mechwarrior was enclosed in a 'basic configuration' of a mech cockpit and basic or detailed profiles can be loaded into the simulator to give the warrior the feel of driving their own mech.&nbsp; The modules are all designed to simulate movement and resistance the mech creates to the most real degree without being in an actual mech.&nbsp;

				She does. The question is whether she can use it when she's being shot at, and if she can line up her attacker to be mowed down by an ally. <br>That, admittedly, is probably one of Ailis' tricks - melt off half their armor and keep them focused on her while someone else lines them up for a kill-shot.

				The general answer to Battletech sensors is 'crappy ones'. By the standards of most sci-fi settings, they make the punch-card computers of the 1950's look advanced. Though considering heat is such a big deal for 'Mechs trying to move under stealth, I'd imagine thermal imaging makes up a big part of the sensors they do have.

				Keep in mind that ammo is precious, though. It's far from uncommon to have Mech duels fall to energy weapons or even melee combat in the end, the Mechs in question being tough enough or numerous enough to outlast the missile and ballistic ammo supplies available to their enemies. And we're at a disadvantage in this sim because the OpFor has a bunch of disposable vehicles to soak up our ammunition and wear us down with attrition before their Mechs hit the field.

				To a point; if your missile racks only have one ammo bin, you can't mix-and-match the bin's contents.

				Question regarding tactics: would ECM disrupt missile path while in flight?&nbsp; Because Brooklyn is also sporting an AMS and I read that these systems can link up with other AMS.&nbsp; If ECM can disrupt missiles in flight, then what we have is a very good anti-missile shield going on and will mitigate the damage potential of the harrassers.&nbsp; We could have recon pull into the umbrella, 'hide' them behind the larger mechs while we remove the closer up threats, then have them run hit-and-run counter attacks against the harrassers if we haven't forced them to use up munitions.<br><br>Because the way I'm seeing it, the larger mechs probably have much larger heat signatures.&nbsp; If we're even going to come close to winning, we can't let the enemy dictate our actions, which is exactly what's happening right now.&nbsp; We need to change the pace somehow.<br><br>EDIT: Hmm, maybe I'm missing something.&nbsp; If the threat of the LRMs is effectively neutralized or minimized by the AMS and whatever else we have, would that mean we would have the range advantage?

				ECM disrupts 'mech-scale tracking systems, to make it ~harder~ to hit a target; not impossible. It does squat to missiles in-flight. (think of ECM in the sense of making everyone within 180 metres of you get watery eyes because of a really bad smell, only your buddies are used to it, so it doesn't affect them; your enemies have a harder time 'seeing' but that doesn't stop whatever they shoot from flying straight.)<br><br>AMS can only reliably target missiles targeting ~your~ mech. What it effectively is, at its most basic level, is a thermal-guided .50 calibre flak gun that unloads hilarious amounts of ammo in short order. (1 ton of AMS ammo is 12 bursts, and it uses 1-6 bursts to knock down 2-12 missiles in a volley)<br><br>Almost every 'mech that does have an AMS only has 1 ton of ammo for it, so while you'll knock down 1-2 flights of missiles, or at least, trim it down to 'scratch' damage, It's more to mitigate the punishment while you move into retaliatory range. At the moment, the only 'mechs that have the range advantage are those armed with Gauss Rifles, LRMs, or ER PPCs, and that's at the extreme envelope for all those weapons.<br><br>In this case, probably the smartest thing to do would be to maneuver towards rough terrain or trees, which tend to give Hovercraft fits; Vedette tanks only have an AC/5 and Machinegun, and they're slower than the Harassers and Condors, making them comparatively easier targets.

				What we need to do is change the terms of the engagement.

				As for me, I'm going to reccomend that we continue with the simmed combat, in part because it's more fun than sitting about doing nothing, and in part because due to the unique nature of sim combat, you basically have an untraceable 'OOC' communication line where you can do shit like laugh like an evil overlord and everyone can hear you.<br><br>Basically, it's normally used if the person overseeing the match sees 'unsportsmanlike conduct'; having someone tap in and use it to do shit like laughing in a way that would make most evil overlords wet their panties is just a bonus. It would also be used for 'dead' team members to chat among themselves while the match ends, if they don't want to climb out of their pods and stretch.<br><br>Edit: And yes, I fully expect Everyone to yell at Erich for using the 'Referee' Channel to try to spook the rookies.

				The way I visualized it the HPG was further back away from the start point which didn't require you to go through the city but not clearing the city would put any threat in the city to your back or front depending on how you approached. If you came over the hills you could hit the HPG from the north turning back east, or past to the west of the city and risk having the city to your back.&nbsp;

				The BAP is an odd choice, since it's relatively short-ranged (4 hexes) and the LRMs have a range of 6-21 hexes. Otherwise, it feels a bit the illegitimate child of a Raven and an ARC-2K Archer, with an ER PPC instead of the lasers and an ECM suite instead of more heat sinks.

				Honestly, I'd rather just run a stock Archer, or a -4M if I could. The paired ML's have the same damage as an ER-PPC for less heat, and I'd think the Artemis upgrade would be more beneficial to the mech's primary fire support role than boosting its defenses would be.

				Well, shaving off the BAP and .5 ton armour allows the Artemis IV to be put in for both.&nbsp; The reason why I have the ER PPC in there is in case ammo runs out, so it still has punch.&nbsp; And I like defensive options because glass cannons are too easy to neutralize.

				12-13 tons of armor hardly make it a glass cannon, it's just a specialized design that functions poorly as a solo unit without lance-mates to keep the targets engaged outside of a close range bracket. The ER-PPC isn't a bad idea - it does let the Mech continue with its long-range support role to a degree even after its ammo bins are empty. Just that while those (substantial) bins still have reloads, the PPC is inferior to missiles at long range, and would be inferior to a couple of Medium or Large lasers in its place inside the LRM's minimum range band.

				Well, it's only carrying 2 tons of missiles, meaning it has 8 rounds of sustained barrage from both LRMs.&nbsp; I really don't know how long that lasts, but I have a feeling 8 rounds isn't long. Admittedly, if I remove the ER PPC, I can fit like 3 medium pulse lasers.&nbsp; But I can't fit more than one Large Laser, or ER LL.&nbsp; Hilariously, I can fit 5 medium lasers though, and another 2 tons of missiles.

				That (5 lasers) would make it just nasty enough to tangle with at short range that most enemies aren't going to charge in just to get out from under the missile envelope unless they're built for brawling-range combat themselves in the first place, and doubling its ammo loadout isn't bad as a bonus. Plus, it comes at no net heat gain versus the ER-PPC and a 150% damage increase if all the lasers hit, giving you a bit more heat control to make up for the fewer heat sinks.

				I'm kind of sad at the idea of losing range against gauss weapons and ER PPCs, but 16 rounds of 30 missiles sounds kind of fun.&nbsp; And anything between 6-9 is getting lasers and missiles.&nbsp; Hmm, maybe a modified, heavier Archer might be Brooklyn's thing.

				The ARC-2K might be right up your alley, since it's basically an Archer variant with exactly the same sort of design principles (extra staying power once missiles are exhausted) that you were thinking. Downgrades the LRM-20's to -15's, removes the Medium lasers, packs in two Large Lasers and +2 heat sinks. No reason those heat sinks couldn't be an ECM suite instead.

				Hmm, and the heat sinks can be double heat sinks.&nbsp; Max heat is 28 and heat dissipation is only 20, but it means being able to fire both launchers and one LR, or both LR.&nbsp; Loses out on the ASM though.&nbsp; Is an ECM pretty good as a defensive measure at long range?

				Unless I was reading my Total Warfare wrong, the basic Guardian ECM suite doesn't actually do anything to boost your defenses innately. It screws up TAG and Active Probes, and interrupts C3 links that try to cross through its bubble, but if someone is just trying to shoot at you, it doesn't appear to modify their accuracy in any way.

				Admittedly, as Erich is living evidence that Mercenaries can age beyond 30, the deck was stacked simply by merit of having someone with way too much experience and gunnery skill combined with a habit of having a combat doctrine of 'I'm alive, he's not. that was a fair fight.' and decades of experience being sneaky with something decidedly not-sneaky.<br><br>The fact that he got shot at is worth a few positive points; after all, being able to respond quickly to having a hilarious amount of energy weapons directed your way is always fun. (And yes, I'm assuming that Lei put holes in people too; her 'hammer is a mean beastie)

				Alroy's walking out of this heavily suspicious, if not outright convinced, that Erich was tapping Blue Team's internal comms to help set up his ambush, helped along by the sim-wide evil laughter. The bad guys cracking your EMCON is not impossible, so it could be a justified 'complication' in a scenario.<br><br>As for headcapping, the weapon mix of an AS7-K is more oriented towards taking gauss rifle torso shots than crit-fishing with the LRM-20. Considering it's also sporting an XL engine, I'd expect mutual catastrophic engine damage to be more likely than mutual headcaps.

				Well, sadly, Alroy's suspicions shall be dashed apart by the Sim's communication logs, which show exactly which channels were used, and when. It's normally used as a 'black box' of 'How to Yell at rookies', but it's also a great way to prove that no foul play was going on.

				Maybe not in character, but I'm wondering if a little more communication, at least between those of us playing officers, wouldn't be a Really Good Idea. <br>Because I honestly felt like I was left out of a couple of important memos there, and regardless of intentions, that doesn't strike me as a good thing to have happening. :/

				I like Brooklyn, he's a good pot-stirrer, and that's good for RP! Lei, on the other hand, really doesn't like him right now. ;)<br><br>Just to put this out there as it will most likely come up in game, so there are no surprises and 'meta' crap on my end, I know how Lei fights. At least in some broad strokes:<br><br>The style Lei fights with is House Fujita's own brand of heavily modified and updated aikijutsu. It's a pure combat style, made for the practical battlefield, designed to kill, or at least cripple, as quickly as possible. Imagine the sort of thing special forces would be taught, except by warrior monks, who train <em>all</em> day, <em>every</em> day, from the time they can walk. Lei is extensively trained with her katana as well, and I imagine even the bow. It's all "fundamental" to learning master yourself, and then to use weapons, from sword to mech, as an extension of your own body (look up "mushin", or "no mind"). This is where Lei gets her "Devil's Eye" from: she's a bit like a zen archer in a battlemech. Her whole life, Lei has been in training to possibly, perhaps, maybe, if she's really, truly, one of The Best, join the Death Commandos.<br><br>A little more specifically, Lei's training was focused on speed. She's a pretty small person, so she just really doesn't have the raw mass to hit very hard (Erich being the perfect contrast) unarmed. Yeah, she's strong, and Lei can probably knock out a lot of people, but that's less likely the bigger and better trained her opponent is. So Lei uses speed, leverage (a good joint lock goes a long way) and vital strikes or her opponents own mass and momentum. Or maybe a handy ashtray. This is also why she's so skilled with weapons like knives.<br><br>While I am declaring that Lei is a pretty ridiculously skilled warrior (Capellan Warrior Houses are like monk orders, like shoalin mechwarriors), I'm NOT saying she's the best martial artist in the IS, the whole universe, or even just this one little mercenary unit. I'm just trying to give everyone a picture of what Lei would be like to fight in hand to hand combat, since we're free formin' this here game. <br><br>Cool? :)

				That's perfectly cool with me.<br><br>I guess in case it does end up in a brawl between Brooklyn and Lei, I should elaborate on Brooklyn's training.<br><br>I pictured Brooklyn's own experience to be kind of multifaceted.&nbsp; For one, I figured that his military education and training would mean he learned some form of military CQC.&nbsp; So also practical battlefield combat and the techniques involved there.&nbsp; In terms of weapons, mostly just knives and weapons of opportunity.&nbsp; I'm fairly certain swords and so on doesn't feature in most FWL soldier's kit.<br><br>Underneath all of that, he's also been a long time practitioner of Tai chi, or it's full name of T'ai chi ch'uan.&nbsp; Even that has multiple facets to it in that he practices the solo forms for health benefits, and another form that has been modernized and made for self-defense.<br><br>Taking it all together, he fights more defensively at the outset, mostly just deflecting blows and redirecting the motions of his attacker.&nbsp; Once he has a read on them, that's when he counter attacks, delivering crippling strikes.&nbsp; Part of why he acts the way he does is a reflection on how he fights.&nbsp; Hence the studying of who he's talking with and the roundabout ways of simultaneously agreeing and needling.<br><br>So if I had to guess what a fight between Lei and Brooklyn would be like, it'd be uncharacteristically long, with bursts of motion in-between stillness, and a whole lot of silence.

				Alroy's probably not quite as good at cheating as Ranna, but he is an accomplished street wrestler, so what counts as 'cheating' gets a little fuzzy to begin with for him. ;) He prefers going for grapples and joint locks, putting his muscle mass to best use, but he does wear well-worn paired boot knives (see 'cheating' above) and will cheerfully gouge eyes, bite ears, and generally fight as dirty as it takes.<br><br>Someone with a sword or other long weapon would be his biggest danger, unless he could get them to hold still long enough for a thrown knife - he's never so much as drawn the katana hanging in his quarters in anger.

				Remember that fuckhuge guy that Indiana Jones tried to fight in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', that only got killed via application of Plane Propeller to skull?<br><br>Erich's fighting style in a nutshell. Core skill is Lyran Boxing, which is basically boxing with metal plates attached to your hands, so the end result is someone that is almost immune to pain, and hits like a Naval Heavy Gauss; mind, he hasn't actually gotten into the ring in 20-odd years, but has picked up far too many dirty tricks over the years to mind. Trying to pop someone's head like a grape, for example, typically means he'll use their eyes as thumbholds and press hard.<br><br>Still, for all that he's built like a tank and has an uppercut that can send someone directly into dreamland (likely with a broken jaw at that), his usual response to an actual threat is to pull his sidearm and calmly point out that, if the opponent is not going to back down, he will give them an extra nostril.

				I think Lei's only been around a few months, maybe a year or so, but even in that short amount of time anyone who's gotten to know her <em>should</em> trust her. She's here for a debt of honour, and with all her silly bushido-esque mumbo-jumbo (it's not exactly bushido, but House Fujita is modeled after samurai traditions and just as strict) it will have become obvious that she takes her honour very seriously, though I hope to avoid the typical trap of stick-up-the-butt-serious that usually results in stupid PC bullshit. Lei is genuinely on the up and up. She owes Erich her life, and as she sees it, part of that, given the mercenary lifestyle, is looking after the rest of the unit as well. The Ol' Bones successes are Erich's successes, after all.<br><br>Of course, some (very paranoid) people might think she's just that good an actress, but there's nothing she can do about that.<br><br>Lei probably hasn't had much more combat experience than the rookies, but she's been in constant training since she could walk. Capellan Warrior Houses are ascetics, very much like monks, but they train for modern war. Lei's highly skilled and she's had extensive training, but it's almost all 'classroom'. The only reason she wouldn't have fallen for Erich's trap in that first sim is because her thinking is SO rigid she would have doggedly stuck to attacking the city, as it was the primary target.<br><br>All that would probably be known by the current members of the unit.

The short of it is that, during a Christmas-time "upgrade", my ISP decided to introduce content filtering. Unfortunately, Elliquy fulfils their criteria for "objectionable content" and, as such, is blocked off. So until I can find a way around that, I can't regularily post here (I stole time on a friend's computer to post this, but it's not something I can do on a day-to-day basis) which means that I'm no good to a group game.<br><br>I thank you all for your time and the opportunity, and wish you all the best.<br><br>

				First off:<br><br>Damn Warg!&nbsp; Glad to hear you're alright, but damn.<br><br>Second:<br><br>orderNChaos, maybe it'll be easier to just number the points and then have a legend about what those numbers represent.&nbsp; Like say 1 is the research facility, 2 the mech barracks, 3 for LRM batteries and so on.&nbsp; The early warning sensors can have designators like E1, E2, E3.&nbsp; Make them in big bold numbers that don't overlap, and in colours that will stand out clearly against the background.&nbsp; More cross referencing, but it'll be way easier to see info.&nbsp; Because while I can kind of sort of make it all out, it gives me a headache doing so.
