As in?
  • You: 1 LL + 4 ML, hit on 3+. All miss.
  • Enemy Locust, LCT-3D variant (20t, with 2x LRM-5, that's it): Shoots both LRM-5's at point blank range. Somehow hits. Cluster table: All missiles connect. Hit location: all headshots. Strips 9 Armor off of the head location, hits structure with the 10th missile, confirms Crit, kills pilot?

Ha! Sometimes the dice are hot and sometimes...they come back for what is owed.

Turn 2. Mr Marauder missed every shot in his point blank alpha (and almost burst into flame, note to foolish me, do not ever alpha a Marauder -3D) then a hornet got boxcars on some LRMS, 2 on target location and promptly critted the cruader's engine :O

Maybe we all need to sacrifice to the diceroller that be? Dark prayers to Megamek?

It's the same wisdom with Orokos: Never wear pants when rolling dice!

So, I am doing things wrong... I wear pants when rolling Orokos... but pray to the dice gods when rolling.

You can try wearing orokos and praying to the pants gods?

Pauses, looks at Csesztreg system, looks at in game date, looks back at system.

Maybe we should all be praying a lot?

Doesn't even need to be face huggers. Any type of huggers is likely to get lasered by me.

Another battletech tabletop closely fought game ending in a concession by myself. I have lots of new respect for shootists now and much less for marauders. My crusader performed very solidly though so perhaps a could sign of things to come?

Mei is far too cute to be lasered! Don't turn her into literal goo!

It's all good. Just because I fire lasers doesn't mean I will hit anything. Shooting is hard. Easier to chop

Yes indeed. A CRD-3K seems to make sense for Yori lorewise and is also a relatively well rounded trooper :D soon our crusaders will darken the skies!
