A group of folks (oddly mostly furries) from the OutreachHPG discord run a weekly megamek (online computer version of the Battletech/Mechwarrior tabletop game) game every Wednesday night. Tonight we kicked off a hopefully persistent campaign, 6 pilots registered and showed up in 6 different mechs. A Centurion and Wolverine made up a solid frontline for our unit, a Dervish provided versatile fire support at all ranges, while a Griffin and Scorpion provided potent long range fire, finally a rare Firefly augmented the lance with a great deal of agility and a deceptively hefty punch for its lightweight frame.
Facing off against a lance of pirate mechs and some supporting hovertanks, two of the tanks were set upon and torn to ribbons by the Scorpion, Firefly, and Dervish, one of the mechs was immediately killed outright by the Griffin, and another was ripped in half when the Wolverine managed to get close. So barely 3 turns into the actual fighting and the pirates are in full retreat, but our mechs chase them down, crippling the other light and forcing a surrender out of it, then encircling the medium and capturing it almost wholly intact.
So our very first mission as a team in our chosen mechs and we ripped through the OPFOR like a chainsaw through an infant, capturing all 4 mechs and 1 hovertank with varying levels of damage but all wholly salvageable, and to show for it virtually none of us suffered any blows worse than some scratched paint.
I can't decide if this bodes well or very very ill.
i quite like the griffin and wasp. very nice.
