Funniest battletech moment I've had was playing with my little brother. We took 4 mechs each, and he opted for IS and let me use clan mechs. So he has an Archer in his group, and I have a clan Piranha: basically a 20ton mech with something like 12 machine guns, I think it's speed was 9/14 or so. Anyways, we're moving around and his Archer moves to point blank range with my piranha, thinking that the 12 machine guns wouldn't do much to his 70 ton mech from the front (in the back, it would have chewed him up). So I have initiative, I start rolling to fire first- first couple of machine guns, missed, 3rd machine gun hits, possible critical on the center torso! Roll for how many critical hits (if any)..... 2 critical hits! Roll.... gyro hit! Roll again... gyro hit again! Mech is disabled! So this pristine Archer was taken out by a single machine gun round in the front. He decided to stop playing @ that point, claiming I'd fixed the dice.



I'm such a [:nerd:]

Clan or IS?

And what ever will he do when a unit of Elementals arrive?

Thanks for the correction. I haven't read any of those books in quite a few years. And then I promptly forgot most everything in them since my husband stopped trying to force another one of those ill written dregs down my throat.

Sorry but I much prefer Tad Williams to Thomas Gressman.

I couldn't have imagined this thread getting any queerer after opening with MJ and his fifty-foot ode to his lost childhood.

You guys are dorks, seriously.
