*Battletech: Planet's Fall

"Neat. Erm, what made you want to be a mechwarrior anyway? You come across as really confident." She hesitated before asking. "Were you always that way?"

May 3050 Update The Dropsite and headquarters of the Obsidian Angels has been moved to Arnad Airbase in Central Akos. Adjacent to the gym, accessible through a door inside it, is a small room with a five person hot tub. Scheduled permission from Doctor Ainsley is usually necessary to use the hot tu...

https://i.imgur.com/WMCpWkl.jpg Obsidian Angels Former Dropsite The former dropsite is nothing more than a fallback point that appears busier and more well guarded than it actually is. The AFFC have a Leopard parked at the site and some of their troops have been stationed here to recuperate. The An...

Kard Barracks
South East of Szeged is the Kard Barracks, the largest barracks and military site on Akos. It is known to be walled, fortified and dangerous.

https://i.imgur.com/Q4zqn0Z.jpg Szeged The continental capital is named Szeged and it is a large city with a population of nearly a million. Practically anything can be found here. Businesses, sporting stadiums, restaurants, bars, shops, nightclubs, etc. Having not been attacked once, Szeged is thr...

https://i.imgur.com/Eiu3vYK.jpg Northern Akos The Northern Akos country is mostly open grasslands, countryside and meadows. There are some farming villages scattered about. In the northeast are hills and in the northwest is the tunnel to the main continent. In the heart of Northern Akos is the larg...

Central Akos
The open country of Central Akos is heavily forested. Spring has arrived so there is a lot of nature to see. Most patrols and outings outside towns and key sites will take place here.

All Patrols in Central Akos should be done here.

Downtime Update

The downtime results are up. I'll update character sheets as appropriate shortly.

I've (lamely) hit a writer's block that I'm powering through the final bits I need for day change. Wish me luck.

Downtime Results Klaus: May take Lia Guttenburg as a free 1/1 Connection as she joins the unit. Yori: Switches mech to a Marauder 2R, with her Crusader passed down to Kawabe and the Hunchback being made available to other lances. Hrafnhildur: Gains 1.0 fame for successfully refitting a Marauder to ...

Soon after consolidating their position around Ninovo Supply Depot, the Obsidian Angels found themselves idle as both main forces in the conflict on Csesztreg declared a one month long ceasefire. Since it applied to Akos, both the mercenaries and the local militia pulled back to strategize anew. The...

"Of course. Take your time." The lady, who could have passed for a librarian on a casual Friday, gave him a little wave. Totally into him.

"Did you pick that up through experience or was that taught?" She asks, absolutely focused on following along and learning all she could.

Session 3 plan Here's the plan for session 3, which will start tomorrow: Day 13 (May 4th) - Last day of the ceasefire Late Morning: Thanks Fedcom! (Luck based Event) Early Afternoon-Late Afternoon: Covert Ops (Stealth/Scouting Event) Early Evening: Final Arrangements (Admin/Strategy Event) Day 14 (...

Much appreciated

I'm alive. I'm back.

Expect a gradual resumption of activity.

End of Hiatus I'm recovered from Covid and emerging from a funk. Sorry for the sudden game hiatus. I've updated everyone's PFs and collected all the mini-goals. I'm working toward game change, but not quite there yet. I intend for the last session to be a little different to what's happened so far ...

Experience Points

Everyone will be getting 8xp as part of day change bits. This has been added to sheets ahead of time now. If you spend it in the next 12-14 hours then it'll take effect ahead of Day 13-14. If not, it'll be live from Day 15.

"Oh, hey." The staffer adjusts her glasses as she sits up. "Yeah, there's a little stationary in the centre aisle." Getting up, she leans toward Alex as she points toward it. "Notebooks are there cutie."

"Right, but, err, how does it work? Does it have a certain range and you need to face a target to get a reading? What causes the system to tell you there's an energy nearby or a mech powering up?"

Not privy to the decaying state of the Crusader, the person on comms is still helpful enough to organise a modest escort. Two members of Command Company were withdrawing after expending the majority of their ammunition. They were being asked to stop and wait for Yori's lance to link up with them.
