  1. Oh damn, Otack got a concussion, +1 to piloting and gunnery

    Gihzmo I'll be calling in my loan soon. You've got 4.65m cbills and owe me 3m. I'm ready to start adding quirks.

  4. I've got to get 22 more XP to get Astech to level 6, cause then I'm going to bump the Axman to 70 tons, add more armor and a couple more DHS.

    Do you have to swap the engine when you do that?
     
  6. Yep. Have to do "engine swap" and "overhaul" at the same time. Gonna cost somewhere around 4mil and have to have level 6 Astech and factory-level facilities to do it.

    Upgrade table

     
  7. I've run through the numbers and even with 2 uninterrupted days of work I can't get all 4 mechs repaired. When I try to spread the workload I get everything but the KGC ready but it takes some dicey rolls to get there. If I skip working on Clamps we have a much better chance with rolls to get the Axman, Victor and Warhammer all 100%.

    Well... that sucks.
     
  9. We can still get 3/4 complete and put Sheo in the Griffin. Or I can refocus and skip the Warhammer in order to get the KGC closer to done.

    How close could you get Clamps if you skipped the Wham?
     
  12. I'm going to work on that scenario this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll work out skipping Clamps and fixing the Whammer.

    These 2 day deals take a few hours to map out effectively but this is as much fun for me (or more) as the actual matches are.

    Let your freak flag fly brah
     
  14. Skipping the Whammer, we can fully repair the Axman and Victor and the KGC gets everything except 1 LBX and the 3 ammo bins in the RT. All of those with easier rolls, 5+ instead of 6+, which I feel a lot better about.

    Skipping the KGC, we can get full repairs on the Axman, Victor and Whammer also having 5+ rolls instead of 6+.

    I'll let you guys fight over who gets the Griffin, but IMHO we should skip the KGC and get 3 fully operational mechs plus the backup.

    That's probably the smart way to go
     
  16. That also accounts for moving one zone and not being in the firebase for the second turn. That way we can at least start moving out towards our next objective whatever it may be.

    If nothing else I've made a great template for repair planning for myself that I can reuse in the future :glee:

    I'm down with repairing the whammy for now and leaving the KGC for later.
     
  18. Alright, plan is in place then. Let's get rolls done so we can start planning our next moves.

    Cool, will get my rolls in tonight
     
  20. We got lucky on rolls last night. I rolled 5 for Astech, but since I'm level 5 now it came as a wash instead of losing anything.

    Individual was a 4, -2XP :crying:. Could have been much worse.
