				There's a slight typo with Angeline's name in the unit roster. It's 'Helling', not 'Hellling'. Nothing major, but thought I'd point that out. :P <br><br>Otherwise, I'll just settle down here as well. <br><br>

				True!!<br><br>Hey Artemise, I think Samson and Allia will probably be spending a lot of time together in regards to fighting.&nbsp; Any thoughts on how Samson is going to prefer running in the small strike unit?&nbsp; I'm thinking Hiro or the recon lance track them and Samson and Allia run in with hit and run tactics until we can either disable them or drive them to the Command Lance.&nbsp; I don't see a lot of stand and fighting for the three of us.&nbsp; Thoughts?&nbsp; And remember this is a hunter killer team.

				Where is Everett's official lance assignment? The Blitzkreig has that odd mix of speed and close-in heavy firepower - I think I've got the single biggest gun in the entire unit - that would suit him for Recon support, or flanking with Strike lance.<br><br>As for the Recons...I'd drop the Firestarter for a faster 'Mech. In-universe it's best suited for anti-infantry support, and on the tabletop it's a LOS-blocker to protect brawlers as they close, but it'd slow down the rest of the lance for little gain. A Fire Moth would be hilarious, if we could get our hands on one, though it kinda has the opposite problem of being too fast for the other Recons instead of too slow.

				Another thought for the Recon Lance Leader would be the <em>Uziel</em> 8S. it's foot speed isn't as fast, but with 8 MP of improved jump jets, it's rather frisky and can get around well. Added to that, it's a highly mobile ECM, which is allways handy.<br><br>This would give the Recon lance 2 ECMs (<em>Uziel, Ostscout</em>), 2 Active Probes (<em>Ostscout, Koshi</em>) and a TAG (<em>Ostscout</em>)

				<strong>Mission time!</strong><br><br><strong>Situation:</strong><br><br><strong>Planet:</strong> Deneb Algedi, Draconis Combine<br><strong>Terrain:</strong> Rocky desert<br><strong>Local time:</strong> Mid-morning<br><strong>Conditions:</strong> Clear, temperatures in the low 30s.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong><br><br>Deneb Algedi was a part of the Republic of the Sphere until it's 'reclamation' by the Draconis Combine in 3135. After taking the world back, the Combine reopened and rebuilt several ancient facilities on the planet in order to use them as staging grounds. With their invasion of the Federated Suns, the world has been used by Combine-allied units as a base of operations for raids and assaults on the Suns’ crumbling front line.<br><br>In order to buy their forces some time, the AFFS has hired Black Sun Company to attack a drop-port located in one of Deneb Algedi’s expansive deserts. Not only is it being used as a supply route, but the facility is also being used as a base of operations for the <strong>Carlton Crushers</strong> a small Mercenary unit working for the Combine, one that has been in turn raiding Federated Suns space. The AFFS wants the base knocked out, its supplies captured or destroyed, and the Crushers weakened or preferably rendered combat ineffective<br><br>(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/totallylamedesertmap_zps36772ea7.png)<br><span style="font-size: 6pt;" class="bbc_size">(fear my lame map-making skillz)</span><br><br>The airfield is located on an elevated plateau, itself backing onto a large canyon. Most of the rest of the region is desert, with a couple of large hills framing the airfield. A small village is located nearby. The Black Sun Company has dropped in the South-West where the terrain is the most open and allows them to get their ship in and out. The Black Stars' Aerospace forces are unavailable, being presently engaged with the Crushers' aerospace.<br><br>On-site forces consist of both the Crushers and local DCMS defenses. The DCMS force is made up of a mixture of Bulldog tanks (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Bulldog), Partisan AA Vehicles (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Partisan_AA_Vehicle) and Heavy Wheeled APCs (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Heavy_Wheeled_APC), supplemented by conventional infantry. These forces are expected to be concentrated around the airbase itself. The troops are largely inexperienced reservists and local militia.<br><br>(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/AerialPhoto_zpsbf3fd0fe.jpg)<br><br>In addition, there are a quartet of turrets around the base, located on the corners. Each turret has an LBX-10 cannon and two machine guns, but are known to be in poor repair.<br><br>The Crushers are on-base, but prefer an aggressive combat style, and could be easily drawn out from their territory. They currently have eight BattleMechs (BNC-5S <em>Banshee<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Banshee_(BattleMech)), HMH-6E <em>Hammerhands<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hammerhands), ARC-8M <em>Archer<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Archer), CLNT-5U <em>Clint<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clint), CAL-1MAF <em>Calliope<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Calliope), EXR-2R <em>Exhumer<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Exhumer), FS9-M4 <em>Firestarter<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Firestarter), BLD-7R <em>Blade<em></em></em> (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Blade)) as well as conventional infantry. The Crushers lost their vehicle assets during their last operation, and have been trying to suborn the DCMS forces.

				I dunno about that, the B variant dishes out about 43 on an Alpha in close combat after a charge at ca. 130 km/h (ca. 80 mph) which is a pretty neat. Also, dat plasma rifle...&nbsp; 8-)<br><br>I noticed we got saved up to about LRM 130 though across the company so far with at least two pretty much dedicated artillery pieces.

				Actually yeah, a Jaguar with TAG would work great in conjunction with the Ghost's ability to hide and mix missile loads.&nbsp; MML can even load semi-guided missiles which could be useful in surprise strikes.&nbsp; I wonder what I would need to lose to put a TAG on the Ghost.&nbsp; Can you imagine how dangerous a mech with Stealth armor and the ability to laser designate missiles would be.

				Lord Luck, I got your roll, so all is good.

I'll PM people the results once I get a full run from everyone.<br><br>Aaaand finally, subject switching, flamers are great for roasting infantry (current rules make them monstrous) and setting fire to woods, which is also useful.

				Ah, remind me about how long our characters have known each other again? And do any of your characters have posters of that lingerie photoshoot Angeline did with Playboy magazine or that bikini photoshoot with FHM? (Be it in their 'Mechs, lockers or hidden somewhere else?) xD I think it would be interesting to see what the rest of your characters think of Angeline. And what she thinks of the rest of your characters, especially if they've got a poster of her lying somewhere that she knows about. xD <br><br>I normally do a brief writeup of what my character thinks or the other characters in a group RP if they are acquainted.

				So what’s happening is that I’m using an abstract way of determining the outcome of the battle. I’m PMing everyone results of their rolls, which will indicate how they did in the fight. Obviously, we’re still going to play it out, but this gives us an idea of where we’re headed and events that may happen along the way.<br><br>In other words, you know where we're going, but the fun is in the journey.<br><br>Note that these will change as we go along and depending on circumstances, the battle, the opposition, what people do in the opening posts and the like. Also I'm going to be secretly mixing up my results table, which means that what's a good roll one time may not be good again.<br><br>Questions?

				If nobody minds, I'll make Angeline the newest member of the company then, having joined a little later than all of the others. So until rather recently, she was still posing for magazines in between Solaris fights. I'm thinking that she really looks up to Kari as a professional Mechwarrior and commander, greatly approving that a woman is the commander of the Black Suns, and generally thinks that Kari is super cool. Kari's is like Angeline's idol now. She prefers not to interact much with Damian due to his personality and his Clan background, thinks Samson is a boring mass of muscles, and doesn't know what to think of Allia beyond thinking of her as rather quiet and introverted. As for Marco, Everett and Hiro, I was hoping to know what they think of Angeline and how they might have interacted at first to build Angeline's opinion of them. And if anyone wants to add more, like background or history between our characters or change some of her opinions, I'm open to discussion, either here of by PM.<br><br>And also, my first IC post is up!

				I had a rousing game of Battletech this weekend with some friends myself - 2v1 using the Divide+Conquer scenario in the Intro Rulebook. Two of the highlights were an otherwise undamaged Awesome failing a Pilot check and triple-critting itself in the center torso (2x Engine+Gyro, for the curious), and the bemused collective realization that an Atlas had as many lasers in its butt as a Spider mounted on its entire chassis.

				Greetings everyone. I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the game so far?<br><br>I just wanted to ask if anyone here wants to have a character that has at least a somewhat better bond with Damian? I'd still say it would be a stretch to call it a friendship, but while he is either indifferent or almost hostile with the others, he would be far more respectful and almost (note: almost) amicable towards this individual. Just one will do, so if anyone has any suggestions?<br><br>I've also ran his history with the company by lady Kayla so I'll stipulate it if it helps jar some ideas loose. Damian joined the Black Sun seven years prior to present day, serving under the then-commander and Kari's father after having been a mercenary for three years elsewhere. He eventually became tactical adviser in Kari's father's company and was part of the battle that nearly wiped the whole mercenary company out, being one of the few survivors. Charybdis had barely survived, but was in severe disrepair for many months, with it taking over a year before it was fully operational again, and back to what Damian was used to. After this time, he stayed with the Black Sun and began to serve as Kari's tactical adviser and he also runs the numbers like a true Sea Fox would. I believe, for now, this makes him the eldest, living, PC member other than Kari, so any other veterans will have been working with him for quite some time now; making them more eligible for being on better terms than newer members.<br><br>Food for thought.

Damian's been fighting prejudice all his life as he is one of those rare cases where a Freeborn actually does manage to get a proper promotion. A little more common among clan Sea Fox, but still extremely rare. If he dislikes you, it's because he thinks you're an idiot, heinous or because you're in his way and he will be blatantly obvious about it. Discrimination based on class of any kind, isn't his shtick. Whether that's an improvement or not, I'll leave that up to you <em>*Laughs*</em>. I did read Everett's profile, but I'll go over it again to see if I can come up with a good link; if any.

				Since we'll be heading into a spot of downtime between missions soon, I'm sure, anyone up for discussing a specific scene or scenes they would like to have with Damian during this period?

				I am really sorry.<br><br>My RL has turned into chaos in the last few weeks, with my Master's degree incription rolling down to a halt with so many documents needed out of the blue, coupled with some blunders due to my own inability. I am really, really sorry to say that I must bail out of this game, and with that, that Marco may receive the end my fellow roleplayers think appropriate. Sorry for stepping out and not moving along the tale. I had great hopes for this, but RL studies take first place.<br><br>Sorry people. You guys are awesome.

I think the main problem is that we're all scattered without a clear goal. Perhaps the lovely captain calls everyone together for some reason? Force us to interact; that being all of us? That way, even the annoying clanner has no excuse but to interact instead of sitting in his office.<br>Part of the problem many group games die out is because the party splits up. It's natural some people spend downtime alone, but then they have to be forced back together in some way. Everything grinds to a screeching halt the instant people start waiting for each other. It's called the Two Army Problem and unless there is a forced deadlock breaker, it just keeps going as two people wait for each other.<br>We don't need a large amount of players to make it work and if the place is active, more will come. Best way to get it active is to get a long term plot going that gets us moving from point A to B, everything in between being influenced by our choices.<br><br>That's been my experience with GM'ing, though, and it's one of countless methods. But just putting us in the same room and talking in group will help a great deal.

				The point is as much to be able to engage at beyond point blank range, as to have a secondary gun - a Blitzkreig isn't armored enough for extended engagements in ML range.

				*Peeks in*<br><br>Hello, everyone.&nbsp; I've been doing some thinking and reading and I see that there is debate (somewhat) on what shall happen after the new recruits come in.&nbsp; After some thought, I looked back at DJ's profile, specifically this part:<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207352.msg10371076#msg10371076">Quote from: King Serperior on 12-08-2014, 00:24:09</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">By the age of 21, DJ had joined a local gang known as the <em>Lifestreamers</em> who she quickly became second-in-command to.&nbsp; There, they caused much trouble, mainly harassing off-planet merchants and visitors, and for the next 3 years, they continued their antics <strong>until her father was killed in a battle on a far-off planet.&nbsp; It wasn't until later that she discovered that the mercenary group was bought off and purposely sent to a battle they had no hope of winning.</strong><br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>This got some gears in my head turning. What if there is a large, cooperate group (maybe a Clanner?) who takes a focus on Mercenary Groups and uses them like a large-scale chess set?&nbsp; There could be some others who do this (maybe 6?) and they place bets on if the group of Mercs will win and survive or lose and die against various opponents or doing certain tasks.&nbsp; It starts off 'easy,' but the targets and jobs get increasingly more difficult.&nbsp; For example, the first job may be attacking a base like what happened at the start of this RP.&nbsp; The next job could be similar, but with restrictions or something.&nbsp; Eventually, it's attacking other Merc groups or military bases.&nbsp; As things get harder, the rewards get bigger if the Merc Group survives.&nbsp; Obviously, the Merc Groups won't know they are being manipulated whatsoever and are 'scheduled' to die at some point.<br><br>If need be, I can play one of the 'board members' as a secondary character from time to time.<br><br>Just some thoughts.&nbsp; Nothing like a sick, twisted game that is over the heads of the group, no?

Definitely read up on the differences between Successor States and Clans as that is pivotal to the setting. It's what I did to refresh my knowledge and it paints a relatively complete picture. Sarna is nowhere near complete lore-wise, but it has more than enough, especially for a merc-based role play.

				So I can't get any of my upgrades then, and the whole exercise and discussion has been a waste of time&nbsp; :'(. Without the XL engine, I don't have the free tonnage for the Light PPC.

If this isn't acceptable, then I'm stuck with the Mech I have permanently - The blitzkreig is not an Omnimech, so if I make any changes to it whatsoever, it would be a complete rebuild; even swapping the autocannons would be a total rebuild, since the weapon is in the right torso and the ammo is in the left, necessitating reconstruction/replacement of both those areas and the center torso connecting them.

				Glyph, keep in mind that even though its an omni mech, mechs are built around engines. Swapping a&nbsp; engine in a mech isn't something normally done in any canon story I've ever read.

Having new characters/players start with canon patterns makes sense - learn to walk before you run, but it's a staple of Battletech fiction and the Battletech universe that the protagonists, the people who matter in the stories, are distinguished by the unique features and weapons loadouts of their 'Mechs as much as mythical heroes are distinguished by their magic swords or whatever. Seeing as how we are the protagonists of our story, it would undermine that universe-contextual feeling of being important on our scale.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>I'm inclined to agree.

				The only 'customization' that will be happening for DJ's <em>Wraith</em> will be the ability to, outside of battle and back on the main ship, swap between the PPC she has to the standard configuration of the Large Pulse Laser.&nbsp; That said, she's been buying the parts to construct it individually, rather than the entire system, as a pet project and only has half the parts.&nbsp; It'll be a while before she can do so, which is fine as I like the PPC configuration as I like the thought of a fast, maneuverable sniper mech.<br><br>The reason being is that, on occasions, a Large Pulse Laser would be more useful when there is little room to maneuver, such as in some urban based combat.<br><br>But that is neither here nor there and not even now and I'll cross that bridge whenever it comes up.

				That might be a stretch. OmniMech technology was developed by the Clans specifically for that purpose, and while the Inner Sphere has OmniMechs of its own, they're not common. Altering a Mech's equipment is not a quick, simple, or cheap task - rerouting power lines, moving armor, adjusting internal structure, setting up ammo feeds or capacitors (hence the whole argument that just went on). The advantage of an Omnimech is that is can routinely swap out its weapons with pre-packaged 'pods' between fights, and the Wraith is not an Omnimech design. You'll probably have to decide which of the two weapons you like more and stick with it.

				Ah, okay then.&nbsp; I only figured as PPC and Large Pulse Lasers operated on extremely similar lines it could work.&nbsp; Plus, both the weapons are mounted on the same arm rather than on the main body of the mech, which would require a lot more moving of armor and such.<br><br>In that case, consider that dropped and forgotten.&nbsp; I did say I liked the PPC more as I like the sniping capabilities the ER PPC offers.&nbsp; There's no arguments from me.

				The only thing a PPC and a Laser have in common is that they don't use ammunition, and they're good at killing stuff. The Particle Projector Cannon blasts targets with a stream of charged protons or ions, laser weapons...shoot concentrated light, beams of photons. Totally different methods of delivering their destructive energy to the target.

				Hey just now getting to chime in on this. Everything ive seen thus far seems like a solid idea to to me. I deffenitely wanna keep going and think we gotta a good core here from what i know of all of you. Vin and KS made some cool points/ideas and im sure this can work out. More blood is needed though as too many NPC's can be a terrible load for a GM so having PC's to carry it is always a plus!

				Okay, just so I have this correctly in my mind:&nbsp; Recon Lance will be have Hiro's <em>Spider</em> leading on point with DJ's <em>Shinigami</em> following behind at, let's say, a few hundred meters with the <em>Uziel</em> and <em>Ostscout</em> on either side, thus keeping everyone close enough to be in the ECM bubbles, but far enough away that an ambush wouldn't take out everyone in one volley?<br><br>Or is the formation different than what I am visualizing in my head?

				Kari is working as a Liaison with the Dalton government to make sure we have support from the Oriente and the Hussars.&nbsp; Of course this is all because Kayla is out and busy at the moment.&nbsp; Allia and Damian are 'in charge' of running the Company.&nbsp; Allia focuses on combat and tactics Damian focuses on Supply and Logistics.<br><br>Artemis is gone but since he didn't bother to tell us he was leaving...I reserve the right as the GM to kidnap his character and make him mine!!&nbsp; Bwhahahahhahaaha!&nbsp; Until such a time that I find someone else to fill his position or I tire of his bald ass.&nbsp; So any interaction you want/need to do with Samson I will respond to.&nbsp; On that note... for the time, (I may pay for this later) Moshe and Everett are on the left, Allia and Samson are on the right.&nbsp; Allia will call the picket positions once I get everyone on the ground.

				Ive been having Hector stay put in formation as Ive not been informed of him knowing anything special. The information that was given didnt seem to warrant a direction change in the entire patrol as I read it. If we are changing direction then great but I didnt want to create information without story teller prompting or feed.

It's just not Command Lance's nature to be doing anything dynamic until shit hits the fan, or prior to landing on ground. I also agree with what Landshark stated in that I don't want to introduce too many factors and "lore" without the GM giving permission as I may end up messing up your plans. So beyond the way Damian feels about the mission right now, there is nothing to say. If you notice no one is posting, just post the next GM bit and keep it rolling, sometimes we'll just not have anything to say <em>*shrugs*</em>.

				A TAG can paint targets at 5+ kilometers? Logically, if it has a clear line to us, we can retaliate, and a range bracket of 0/5/10/15 is equivalent to anything as big or bigger than a Large Laser. So let's light this bugger up with missiles/PPCs/etc.

				Working with the information from Sarna and assuming that 1 hex represents 30 meters, the max limit of TAG is 450 meters.

Flat terrain, midday, no cover, no resources to create cover. This is a retreat scenario, not run up on the encampment scenario. It'd be 5 minutes for my mech to run up ontop of them, roughly 3-4 minutes to get into firing range for my MRM's to shoot out the ridge and bury the arrow launchers on the other side. Our fastest mechs would get there in maybe 2.5 minutes and if i remember their loadout correctly they can't do indirect so would have to circle for direct LOS. 2 minutes of 'dodging' artillery is pretty suicidal.<br><br><br>Hmm, relooking at the map you posted, one of my assumptions may be wrong.

				So orderNchaos, the question I posed above. Is the intervening territory scrub or is it farmland? The highly regular pattern and colors make me think its farmland. If that's the case, then there may be dug canals that we can use as cover to get closer to the targets.
