Sorry. I'll be more specific next time and use your language and read up on movement rules and weapon specifications and usages. I didn't know how far I could go. Some GMs have wanted me to be vague so they can steer me a bit. I'll try to be exacting with actions in Battletech language. Sweet! My LRM was 10 - I thought it was 6 for a while. That's deadly!

"Success." Zeissa whispers over the intercomm, watching the remainders of their bodies and the wreckage burn in the fires of the LR missiles.

"HARLON. Do you want to capture the mobile HQ?"

[Miraqariftsky]

Shuddering from a furious fusillade from both the Kolt Wolfhound and the Commando, the bandit Wasp collapses to the dark dust of the desert night in a flurry of sparks, molten metal, clinging flames and flying debris.

Flicking comms to the general channel, Yoshi barks at the hapless pilot below, "Your mech has been lamed, devastated and is about to be cored. Surrender now or be swatted"

[TheGreatJabu]

Spright

McGonnegal continues to wait impatiently in his 'Mech, hands practically twitching to clamp down on the controls to launch himself into the fray. He sits and listens to the combat chatter and tries to visualize in his mind's eye the battle that he's missing. Still maintaining radio silence, he just keeps speaking to himself inside his cockpit. "Heh. That Drac is racking up his own personal list of P.O.W.s." Hearing that things are going well relaxes him a little. However, Zeissa's transmission once again makes his blood boil. "What the blazing hell was that lass doing during the briefing?! 'Are we to capture the HQ'!" Matthew continues to grumble to himself for a while.

[king.com]

Wasp pilot

The blaring sounding of the commando piloting public speakers where enough to scare away the technicians but a mechwarrior was a bit tougher. The countless missiles and laser point in his general direction however, were a different story. Popping the hatch he scrambled out, running in the direction that would be considered the exact opposite of those guns.

Harlon

Watching the Wasp pilot attempting to make a get away almost made him laugh but there were more important things to worry about.

"Thats right, Zeis, we have to keep that HQ alive, the commando team is attacking the crew and downloading the information. Provide cover fire if possible, Spright, that means your up, show them why surrender is a good idea. Burnout, how about you see to whatever is keeping those slaves from escaping, i think they're itching to get in there."

[Moechi_Vill]

"It seemed a shame to waste such an artifact after we got the documents." Zeissa replies in a cocky tone.
"If the battle continues like this we might not want to fulfill the other plan? Speed would be of the essence Harlon, I am intuiting inbound enemy reinforcements."

Briefing Specifics

Spoiler

Show

Zeissa was paying attention to that part in particular (though I kind of forgot about the waiting thing). She just wants to capture as much as possible. :) Sifting through those ruins without boulders over them could be fun! If we secure the area from reinforcements...

"Third, and heres the big one. We have a priority target presented to us. Our interview proces revealed the reason behind the two battlemech per convoy. A mobile HQ is currently located at the mining complex, waiting for us to capture and steal as much information on the bandits as we can carry. I also have a plan, which might work, or could go horribly wrong."

We were asked to capture the information. Capturing the HQ could be presumed to go along with the information, but I tend not to take it for granted in modern military operations. In fantasy games though... :D. But I guess this is Battletech, where looting salvage/-capture is king.

Spider SDR-5K Actions:

Spoiler

Show

The flames began to quickly engulf the crew, most abandoning the other vehicles in the hanger, survival on their mind. The damage on the warehouse was beginning to show as the gantry collapsed under the flames and panicing technicians. A large support beam began to collapse, and the pilot tried as had as possible to pull his mech away in time. He succeeded, atleast partially as the beam collapsed onto his right arm, severing it completely. The engine finally kicked into life and he proceeded outside the hanger.

Hardly taknig the time to properly exult over his victory, Yoshi takes a swift glance at the latest sensor scan and sends the Kamikaze trotting through the desert at halfspeed. Taking a turn and slowing just enough for him to draw a good bead on the other Wasp, he lets loose with another alpha strike, taking care to switch the salvo back to non-Inferno rounds. In the smoking wake of ten missiles comes a massive metal foot in yet another savage kick.

Sorry about the delay.

[RandomLunatic]

Saracen Medium Hovertank

The Saracen flanks across the base, turret tracked left to launch Infernos into more more of the main complex. Reaching the north end of the complex, it swings around and its LRM launcher again blossoms flame, lofting a salvo of missiles at the Spider. The warheads came down and tore the 'Mech's torso armor to shreds.

Simple: Flank L/F9/LL, 12 MP, 9 Hexes, +3 TMM, ending 0404/4.

And hexes 0309, 0407, and 0508 are all on fire.

Burnout, J. Edgar Light Hovertank

"Roger," Justin confirms. But the Stinger emerges from the inferno he had created almost on top of him, and Justin starts evasive manuevers as the enemy 'Mech tried to draw bead. The intervention of the Mercenary commader's Wolfhound gave the enemy MechWarrior bigger things to think about, allowing Justin time to put his tank into reverse and get out towards the slave compund.

In passing, he takes a snap shot at the Spider, beautifully silhouetted by the burning hangar behind it. Half of the missiles lose tracking and instead home in a the giant IR signature behind the Spider, but the other half combine with the laser to chew through the armor covering the 'Mech's right flank and eat at the machine's skeleton underneath, although none of them manage to find vitals.

And then, he circles the slave compound, remianing out of small-arms range while observing.

The Scimitar will float up to 1410, turn to the NW (cruising, if I can count correctly), and fire an AC/5 round into the Spider if it has LOS... Infernos can be lobbed into a convenient part of the base (not the slave quarters or the Mobile HQ) for good measure.

"This would be a good time for you all to surrender... you will not die now and might get amnesty." Zeissa calls out to KoltC's opponents from her speakers and on the open radio band.

"That goes for you Wasp pilot. I will vaporize you immediately if you do not stop running." Zeissa says, remembering their enemy and tracing the path of his direction with her grey irises.

[TheGreatJabu]

Spright - Better late than never!

After being given the order to move in, Matthew jams down on his JumpJet pedals and lifts into the sky. The whoosh of the jets, the shuddering of the 'Mech around him; McGonnegal lived for the jumping. After making a quick survey of the battle beneath him, he espies his target - the Wasp standing in melee range of Yoshi. He controls his thrust to settle himself down on the hills above the enemy machine, and before it can react to his presence he unleashes three ruby beams at it.

Zeissa
On allied band: "Sure we want to do this Harl? Currently handling all just fine."

[TheGreatJabu]

Spright

Matthew grins as his attacks melt through his target's shoulder, dropping the superheated appendage to the ground. Zeissa's transmission does catch his ear, though. ++She might have a point, sir. Unless we're expecting reinforcements soon, we may have time to do a bit of salvaging. We could blow the place once we're finished.++

[Miraqariftsky]

Yoshioka Sakay taps into the allied bandwidth through a crackling comms system as the bandit battlemech in front of him shudders from yet another barrage of laser fire. "Thanks for the assist, chief. Yep, I'd greatly appreciate it if ye didn't blow the ridge just now--- as I'm still underneath it!" With those words, he prepares to disentangle himself from melee with the Wasp and get out of range of the blast zone just in case...

[king.com]

Harlon
Firing off another burst of lasers Harlon managed to pull his mech around just in time to avoid the missile launch he assumed came from the hostile wasp. The metal melted away as the intense heat from his lasers pushed the enemy stinger back into its already flaming hanger.

"Well, things looks to be shaping up, lets try and clean things up and.."

Again he was forced to halt his mech to avoid another SRM salvo, as he turned aroun to face the pesky wasp he noticed the smoke trail leading from the closest hanger. Switching to a more detail termal scan he notice what he'd been afraid of, swarms of infantry, equipped with SRM tubes and more demolitions than he'd care to have placed on his mech.

"Garrison has finally woken up, looks like we have serious problems here, everyone get clear before they can launche onto your mechs, i think an avalanche might come in very handy! Repeat, disengage and fall back to the slave compound!"
