Damn hammer is playing baseball with my mech. I was trying to coordinate my attack by assisting max and not allowing him to get smacked from the side. Though I didn't expect to be smacked around by a heavy. A medium mech isn't really going to match up to a heavy in close combat if it's armed with a hammer like that.

Lets see just how much chaos can be spread. Hope you don't mind it not actually being music, its better for pure distraction and easier(!) to do it this way.

Crazy idea, but still awesome if you think about it. What if (doesn't have to be during this battle) we get Rory to launch one of his cables at either Hector or Ali, who will then proceed to swing him around and either use him as a weapon, or give him a huge boost to his momentum. The idea of one of our heavies using the Crusader as some sort of flail is just hilarious in my mind.

I thought we were gonna steer away from the "mechs are awesome" ideal... -.-

Still, the disruption's a nice idea. What would be even better is if you could give false orders.

Got it, we'll do it when you're not around to berate us for it in character.

And I need to find some way to offer the Tac-Co more immediate defense. Something I am imagining is using the cable to grab Nemesis and pull her towards Crusader, but that is liable to destroy it, and put it in danger. Perhaps some sort of non armor piercing version of the cable could do it.

We could always go with the plan I just mentioned, although instead of using Crusader as a weapon, just have him use our heavies to help him get around. And it'll get your closer to Ryan since both Hector and Ali are shielding him. As is Legion.

Also, Gem, you didn't mention the snipers that shot at Ali in your threat assessment/orders. Dunno if that was intentional or not but I felt like I should point it out just in case it wasn't

I thought that legion was taking care of those? If his mechs continue screening, there shouldn't be too much of a problem for now.

Though I really wish our sniper and our ninja would start posting again. Especially the ninja.

I believe after this little push the Exocet is going to begin trying to work his friends into his personal plans. For now though as a matter of avoiding being hit by recoilless guns and gatling rounds he is taking his own target.

Geminex · 03-10-2010, 08:50 PM

The enemy medium mechs don't seem to be that good in melee, if our melee mechs engage them and keep them busy, our heavies should be able to finish off their heavies, and then support you against the mediums.

Also, when your medium mechs are locked in combat with theirs, then their allies can't shoot you without risking friendly fire. Also, while you're skirmishing with them, they probably can't open fire on our forces, since getting hit with drills and shotguns tends to distract people.

So yeah, Exocet should stay in combat with enemy medium mechs.

Well one heavy mech is currently as target, so we should get rid of that one first at the very least, otherwise wearing down the shields on it would be pointless.
