    If it is not a cascading engine failure, it is an ammo explosion that kills everything.

    We're salvaging a Goblin to go with our Wolverine from last fight.

    Also, we each made 750k cbills for this fight.

    I recommend a name change from "Trump Cards" to "Cripple Kings".

    I'll get a look at the save file later today. Getting enough XP to bump my Astech came at just the right time, hopefully I can get a good lance roll and get another temporary boost. I should be able to get everybody functional but won't have enough time to get the missing sections replaced.

    We'll definitely sell the Goblin for cash, does anybody want to claim the Wolverine or do we want to sell and split it as well?

    Let's talk repairs. You won't like it.

    Victor:
    148 mins
    -30 reload 2 gauss ammo
    118 mins
    -8 replace jump jet
    110 mins
    -5 replace 7 armor LT
    -4 replace 5 armor RT
    101 mins

    KGC:
    304 mins
    -45 reload 2 lbx ammo, 1 srm ammo
    259 mins
    164 w/o salvage (NO ARMS)


    Warhammer:
    182 mins
    -15 repair DHS in LT
    167 mins
    -4 replace 6 armor HD
    -8 replace 12 armor LA
    -9 replace 13 armor LL
    146 mins
    70 w/o salvage

    Axman:
    240 mins
    -15 replace ML
    225 mins
    -4 replace 5 armor CTR
    -3 replace 4 armor LT
    -2 replace 2 armor LTR
    -2 replace 2 armor LL
    -13 replace 20 armor LA
    201 mins
    168 mins w/o salvaging parts

    Total just to get everything functioning is around 510 mins, we have 480 available from our tech. That already includes my astech bonuses. Basically that gives us a fully functional Victor, Axman missing RT and RA (LRM20 and Hatchet), Warhammer missing RT and RA (ER PPC, SRM6, ML) and a KGC missing RT, RA and LA (PPC, SRM6, both LBXs).

    Dihm's Griffin is available now, so if we skip repairs on the WHM we MIGHT be able to reattach Sheo's left arm. That will make us look something more like this.

    Victor:
    148 mins
    -30 reload 2 gauss ammo
    118 mins
    -8 replace jump jet
    110 mins
    -5 replace 7 armor LT
    -4 replace 5 armor RT
    101 mins

    KGC:
    304 mins
    -45 reload 2 lbx ammo, 1 srm ammo
    259 mins
    -15 salvage LBX in LA
    -20 replace 32 armor LT
    213 mins (replaced LA)

    Axman:
    240 mins
    -15 replace ML
    225 mins
    -4 replace 5 armor CTR
    -3 replace 4 armor LT
    -2 replace 2 armor LTR
    -2 replace 2 armor LL
    -13 replace 20 armor LA
    201 mins
    168 mins w/o salvaging parts

    That puts Sheo's LA back on (if we hit a 6 or higher roll) and gives him 1 LBX, 1 PPC, 1 SRM6. Alternatively we can put Sheo in the Griffin and get more done on Dihm's Warhammer, leading to this.

    Victor:
    148 mins
    -30 reload 2 gauss ammo
    118 mins
    -8 replace jump jet
    110 mins
    -5 replace 7 armor LT
    -4 replace 5 armor RT
    101 mins

    Warhammer:
    182 mins
    -15 repair DHS in LT
    167 mins
    -4 replace 6 armor HD
    -8 replace 12 armor LA
    -9 replace 13 armor LL
    236 mins with full salvage
    -15 reload SRM ammo
    221 mins


    Axman:
    240 mins
    -15 replace ML
    225 mins
    -4 replace 5 armor CTR
    -3 replace 4 armor LT
    -2 replace 2 armor LTR
    -2 replace 2 armor LL
    -13 replace 20 armor LA
    201 mins
    168 mins w/o salvaging parts

    Which is 490 mins but completely restores Dihm's Whammy. We can shave off 10 mins in other places to make that happen. That will probably give us the best combination of mobility and firepower IMHO.

    We also have the Wolverine we salvaged but by the time we replace the head and cockpit it's gonna take around 360 mins by itself so that's not an option.

    I would say skip the repairs on the Victor and focus on getting the rest of the mechs back up to speed. It can make another drop the way it is, even the ammo store is not that low.

    I can at the very least get your ammo replaced and JJ fixed for 0 time using Astech bonuses. Getting some armor back on is a must as well IMO. We might skip internal repairs in some spots but I'd rather not make you an easier target when skipping still wouldn't give us enough time to fully fix another mech.

    I don't know how the repair/rearm works. I was just thinking if it would help get the Warhammer, King Crab or Axeman up a little further, I don't mind running the way it is now.

    The big thing is that replacing sections takes a LOT of time, plus you have extra time to replace all the parts within that section. So while skipping the Victor may get us an extra 100 mins or so, that probably won't be enough to completely restore an arm/torso on any of our other mechs with all the equipment as well, thus the net effect is less since instead of 1 full and 1 partial mech we still have 2 partial mechs.
