- I agree that 'mechs DO carry the day, most of the time, but I've had a
- few simple vehicles that have ANNIHILATED 'mechs without a word.
-
- I took a hovercraft once, (I was playing some VERY roguish Clan forces)
- stripped its armour, increased the engine size, and slammed a Gauss w/15 shot
- ammo into it. Moved 12/18, and couldn't be touched!
-
- Another battle that raged was before the Clans showed up. Using 3025
- 'mechs, a city was being defended by a mix of vehicles/'mechs that were
- outnumbered/out-tonned, 2:1. However, (I was on the attacking side) the
- defenders stuck a (aw damn, forgot its name- has 3 AC-20s, a heavy tank) inside
- a building and waited.
-
- At the right moment, one of their wolverines hopped on top of a level
- 2 building. A Shadow Hawk hopped down in front of the building, with his back
- to a level 4 light building. The Shadow Hawk fired and did some damage, as the
- attacker's had initiative. The defenders had the Wolverine wait to fire until
- last, having all the other 'mechs/vehicles fire, and then let the tank inside
- the building (the one mentioned above). Hit in the back with ALL 3 SHOTS. We
- described it this way:
-
- Well, you take three hits (the guy had to roll a 4 each time. Waaaa),
- all to the Center/Left/Right Torsos. You're sitting in your cockpit, when your
- 'mech is suddenly thrashed. When it stops, your 'mech looks like a doughnut.
- *grin*.
