    You know, I think this thread has a severe lack in Atlas. You know, the coolest motherfucking BattleMech that ever motherfucking walked on the motherfucking battlefield. Motherfucker. 100 tons of metal fury towering 30 meters over the ground, the mere mention of the name Atlas sends shivers the down the spines of even the most hardened veteran MechWarriors. It is the stuff of nightmares, my friends. When the Atlas steps onto the field, fools notice that shit. Lasers, PPCs, missiles, autocannons, oh yeah, it's all there. It's there and it's coming right at you. Bitch, you better run, because motherfucking ATLAS is going to kick your sorry ass. That skull isn't a symbol, it's a fucking prophecy. As this cold hulk of steel marches forth into the enemy, he lets you know the entire time what's coming to you. Death. Fishermen tell tales of the Kraken; MechWarriors tell equally terrifying tales about the Atlas. Parents tell their children horror stories about Atlas to keep them in line. But unlike the boogie man, Atlas is real. And he's going to find you.

    Heh. I finally downloaded the software last night and ran a quick bot game before I went to bed. I was in an Atlas, with a green pilot (5/6), versus a Commando and a Jenner, both Veterans (3/4), and I got spanked. I just couldn't hit the two Meks enough before they beat me down. I ejected on an ammo crit, then the bastards shot my pilot before I could exit the board. The Jenner was pretty beat up, though, and its pilot did take one damage.

    At least I can take solace in the fact that my Atlas was reduced to radioactive scrap, being completely unsalvageable. :P

    With that matchup physical attacks are definitely the way to go. If you win initiative you should be able to close into hitting range against at least one of them and a kick from an Atlas should take a leg clean off either of those mechs.

    It wouldn't let me punch for some reason when I did it; I could only kick.

    But yeah, that is the luckiest crappy Mek pilot ever. :lol:

    The only problem is that the target number to hit is generally 9 or higher due to movement and the crappy piloting skill.

    When you fire a weapon on an arm/leg, you can't use it for melee.

    If anyone is up for a game, I can probably connect from this lab.

    If you use a weapon in an arm during the weapons phase you cant punch (or use a hatchet) with that arm later during the physical phase.

    So apparently the official ruling is that if a mech is pushed off a map and unless the scenario says otherwise, that mech is considered destroyed. Should have tried a push attack against your Catapult!

    Ah. Yeah, I was firing the AC20 pretty much every round.

    I only got like two LRM shots off though, because after the second round the other Meks were too close, so the minimum range made it practically impossible to hit. I just didn't fire them to save on heat.

    Yeah, though I found a setting in MegaMek that prevents being pushed off the map.

    The turn after the DFA I think there was a perfect setup for a charge attack by your pheonix hawk.

    It always came up one short. So Charge does Hexes Moved * Tons/10 while only doing Defender Tons/10 back to the attacker. That is awesome.

    In open terrain that is what the Pheonix Hawk is best at. 45 Tons and can charge up to 9 hexes.

    Right now, I'm remembering that there was this website that has this sort of online meta-campaign that was mostly integrated into MegaMek. Basically, there was a training section, after which you chose one of the houses to fight with, and each faction had their specific units that they had access to.

    You hired your pilots and bought your mechs, had mechanics to work on them, and fought over planets, where it would switch to the megamek client. I can't for the life of me remember where it was or what it was called.

    Looks like it's that time again, I'll probably be free the rest of the day if anyone wants to play a match.

    That was pretty funny. Played a match against a bot which really isn't all that skilled.

    Awesome AWS-8Q
    Hunchback HBK-4G
    Locust LCT-1V
    Three Jump Infantry (Flamer, Flamer, Laser)
    Whirlwind Hover Tank

    vs

    Timber Wolf A (Madcat)
    Mithras Light Tank

    With its immense range, the Madcat blew apart all my mechs, which were admittedly pretty slow, while they were trying to cross some densely generated terrain with its twin ER-PPCs. Although the Awesome managed to stay alive long enough to get one or two PPC shots in of its own, it really didn't even scratch the armor on that clan heavy mech. However, while slowly shooting apart the crippled remains of my mechs as they were laying helplessly on the ground, the infantry managed to get close enough to deal a constant barrage of damage. In the end, a single Flame infantry was the sole survivor as it burnt through the central torso of the Madcat critting on the gyro twice. A few turns later, victory was mine with a single infantry unit left to show for it.

    That's awesome (npi).

    Were the infantry anti-Mek? And what did the sole surviving unit of flamer infantry do with the approximately ten million credits worth of salvage? :lol:

    Sounds a lot like MegaMekNet 3025 Campaign. All new players start out in the training faction and you can switch to a house or pirates after you get a few games under your belt. I think I might at least go see what it's all about and report back, anyone want to join me? Any house people want to join? I'm pretty partial to the Lyrans myself.

    However, I'm thinking of a single planet campaign that I want to run here. I have the rules mostly fleshed out, just need to sort of balance it to make sure it's both fun and viable.

    Got it up, and got all sorts of whooped on in my first battle. Me in a Spider, Hermes, Cicada, and Dervish versus a Panther, Firestarter, Jenner, and Spider. I got my ass handed to me; I screwed up my deployment, and then had all sorts of mishaps: meks falling through ice, meks missing eight attacks at 8's and 9's...

    Yeah, the only weird thing that happened was when my Dervish jumped onto ice. I made the check to not break through, and then it had me check again for no apparent reason. I failed the second roll and fell through. Of course, I had already lost two meks at that point, so the battle was pretty much done anyways. Still annoying, though.

    The first check applies to any non-hover/flying unit that enters an ice hex, and only fails on a 6 on 1d6. The second check applies to 'Mechs that jump into an ice-covered hex, and fails on 4+. And then, if you make both of those, you have to pass a piloting skill check at +4 not to fall.

    So, in general, don't jump onto ice-covered water hexes.

    Yeah, the only weird thing that happened was when my Dervish jumped onto ice. I made the check to not break through, and then it had me check again for no apparent reason. I failed the second roll and fell through. Of course, I had already lost two meks at that point, so the battle was pretty much done anyways. Still annoying, though.

    The first check applies to any non-hover/flying unit that enters an ice hex, and only fails on a 6 on 1d6. The second check applies to 'Mechs that jump into an ice-covered hex, and fails on 4+. And then, if you make both of those, you have to pass a piloting skill check at +4 not to fall.

    So, in general, don't jump onto ice-covered water hexes.

    No, I made the piloting check to not break through for jumping on/entering the hex. But the next round, as I was moving OFF the ice, it rolled another check, and the Mek broke through.

    Opponent admitted defeat right after this.

    And the lesson today, folks, is to never, EVER let a Hunchback get behind you.

    Does MegaMek have 'Mechs from 3067? There are some really awesome 'Mechs in that readout.

    It has IS and Clan level 2 units, so I think so?

    Does it have Fafnir or Archangel?

    It has Fafnir, but I didn't see any Archangel.

    Sorry, not Archangel. 'Mechs like Scyllus, Rabid Coyote, Riflemen, Red Shift etc.

    I'll take a look for myself here in a little bit.
