OK, I'll let them know.

The original thought was to put a Small Pulse Laser in each of the quad's legs, and have the front two facing rear, to create a "zone of death" for any infantry who think directly under a quad is a safe place fom Anti-Infantry fire.

It was a fluff thing.

Mammoth is the class that I was thinking of. You've got 37,700 tons of carrying capactiy with one of those. So given your analogy of using Atlases (or other 100 ton 'Mechs) on the dropship; you could have up to 370 of them (figuring on keeping some of the additional mass set aside as spare parts and space for ammunition). A little less than half of what you can carry using Behemoths, but then they're not setup for deploying 'Mechs in dedicated cradles either.

Might have to play around a bit in HM Aero today to see if I can come up with a decent 'Mech carrier using the Mammoth or something a bit bigger that's still atmosphere capable (unless those rules have changed again from AT2).

While the others were deliberating conditions around the building, Daniel had changed into his Ghost Armor suit and found it very nice to his suiting. Much nicer than the old sneaksuits I used to use back in the day. The extra pouches are a really nice touch, especially when compared to the suits I had to use that only allowed for a single rifle to be carried with them. Carrying the procured C8 and with some supplies from his own personal demolitions kit, Daniel slowly made his way around the building holding Agent Strickland. Picking out a few out of the way locations to setup his bombs, Daniel slowly made his way around spiking the building with hidden cameras and microphones "liberated" from the back of the Dragoon stealth tank.

As Daniel crept his way around the building, he was able to view several hulking figures through one of the windows and saw that they were relaxing instead of being on duty. Making up a specialty munition for this area; a couple of spare gyroslug rounds with a small quantity of needler ammo, Daniel was able to make up a dirty anti-personnel bomb and placed it near enough to the giants to get their attention. The building fully spiked and prepared with a number of explosive devices, most of which were simply flash bombs, Daniel made his way slowly over to the rest of team.

"We need another check for roof bound operatives. Anyone able to handle a jumppack?"
"Not really on my part, never had a chance to use them. I'm not anti-Mech trained. I did get most of what I could reach spiked with a few little toys that will help with our survelliance of the structure."

Daniel slowly peeled off his armor and shook the sweat from his hair.

"Watch out if you're using the Ghost Armor, it does get a bit toasty inside."

Redressed in his field gear and armed to the teeth, Daniel turned towards his teammates to see what the battle plan would be.]]> CBT forums down?

Hon. Mechwarriors;

Todays campaign day at Asgard Games saw the pirate forces set up a strategic BF2 Night raid on the Kern's Cavaliers relief effort. A heavy pirate company has jumped the mule and what's left of the Cavailiers and their relief force in a ruined city hex. A light and Medium Company have enveloped the site in a kyle unt kessel that should see the Mule destroyed on the ground and a thorough force recon accomplished. The turn after that will show the survivors that they can't break the siege, and can't win in a straight up fight. The Ransom money will be very welcome. :)

The free for all pick up game went well. Mr. Lawyer won a flawless victory. I on the other hand got to experience the campaign referees three wolverines and a wolfman after they had their folger's cup of coffee secretly replaced with PCP. The man latched onto me from turn one and left me with just the vulcan by the end of the game. My Dead Meat skirmisher head caped a Wolverine on turn 2. He attempted a 9+ charge to push a second wolverine off the map edge on turn 3, but missed and had his leg kicked off instead. My Awesome, Ostroc, and Vulcan spent the rest of the game screaming "get it off me!, Get it off me!" My appeals for relief and alliance in the face of the three other untouched forces closing on us fell upon deaf ears. Engineers 1 and 2 closed steadily and enjoyed a freak torso critical ammo hit on a thunderbolt, which compelled E2 to withdraw and await a favorable turn of events which never materialized.

E1 bowed to superior play when the game went into sudden death over time around 7PM. Mr. Referee gave up the ghost leaving me a shattered Awesome and a pristine vulcan which soon became just a vulcan when E2 casually vaporized the remains of my Awesome in a turn. Lots of painted mechs across a 4 x 8 table of terrain made for a nice spectacle too.

The scenario encouraged caution, but the crazy referee had the most fun. This hobby can be a lot of fun and provided several opportunities to share the death of Jesus Christ for the sins of the world :)

Respectfully
