    I got a bit confused earlier. Look like Gamma has yet to drop and Alpha wants to do 1 more. I want Turn 7 done by the end of next week. Get 'ur done people.

    It looke like Delta is rosey for now. You guys want first drop for next Turn? I posted my schedule. You guys could drop Labor Day or the day after if you want.

    All players, please review the strategic map on Roll20.
    https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/53058/mechwarrior-ejected
    (pay special attention to the lance logistics box in the top-right)

    Here is the link to the Master Rules on what we need to do to get rolls done (if you forgot):
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/uswub8703sc36ai/GM-Admin Master Rules 3.9.6.doc?dl=0
    (start at page 3)

    If you've been following the events, we have finally made peace with the Goretti crime family in exchange for their assistance in wiping out their rivals, the Martillo family. After this has been achieved, we will be granted safe passage off of Novo Cressidas and out of the Star's End system. Our former allies; the Free Cressidas Army continue their fight against the Gorettis.

    Other loose ends to deal with:
    • Savio "the Butcher of New Belfast" Drago = 8 or 16 million C-bills dead or alive (respectively); commander of the Martillo forces
    • Interrogate Ben Kingsley = mutinous first-mate and murderer of the Harbinger's former captain, Buck "Starhound" Harrison. Currently under protection of crimeboss Benito Goretti, he will be turned over to us after we defeat the Martillos.
    • Discover the fate of Lily Morgana and the Harbinger
    • (after dealing with the Martillos) Intervene in the ongoing FCA vs. Goretti conflict or abandon them to their fate.

    IMPORTANT UPDATE:

    I will give people until Monday next week to contact me to do their rolls.

    After that, if you have not specifically told me to wait for you, I will be making the rolls for you. This is not a practice I am eager to make the norm, but holidays are busy and I have a timetable to keep.

    Also, if you fail to make any notification in your lance thread that you are still active, I will be placing you on the auxiliary list for Turn 8. Failure to notify status by the end of Turn 8 will place your character on the inactive list.

    Let's talk strategy:

    Questions #1:
    Should we press the attack immediately on Castello di Coltelli (the Martillo HQ) or should we lay siege to it first for a week and gather our strength a bit more before attacking? Keep in mind that there are consequences for either action.

    Question #2 :
    What of Savio Drago and Ben Kingsley? We have no knowledge of Drago's location, but we suspect he is rallying defenses at Coltelli. We will need to gather more intel on his location if we wish to claim his bounty. Kingsley remains in the custody of our Goretti "friends" until we fulfill our half of the bargain we've made. Any thoughts on this?

    Question #3:
    To our west (check roll20) there is an ancient derelict dropship that crashed there centuries ago. Up until now, it has been guarded by Martillo forces, but they have since abandoned the position to protect their more important holdings. No doubt, it holds some value, but without a faster transport, it is two or three weeks hard march out of our way. Should we pursue that lead or ignore it to focus on our main objective?

    Gamma Lance is in relatively good repair and has access to Heavy Support Level 3. We can assault the castle alongside the initial siege with our own artillery that we bring in and pummel the crap out of the surrounding infrastructure. This should be damaging to both enemy morale and defensive structures. While we handle the siege I am highly interested in that ancient dropship. With any luck it might contain some leftover artillery pieces/munitions that we can utilize during the second wave invasive attack by the other lances after a week of laying siege. Hell maybe they got the on board longtoms back online depending on what class of dropship it is. I'm assuming the 2-3 weeks march means 1.5 to get there and another 1.5 to get back to the castle?

    I actually have a second option. Short siege followed by a quick assault?(if possible, turns might not allow it).

    I would really like to check out the dropship before we leave this rock, but no contact with our dropships is somewhat worrisome.

    Otherwise I agree with Tzeentch.

    My mech could use another week for repairs before getting too deep into the soup.
