Nope. It was Bidoof, Iof, and Radek who killed it (Bidoof went full anime and teleported behind it). We actually have enough AC/20's now to outfit a lance.
IIRC, you missed your only shot and then got kicked.
I'm just happy that it didn't hit the cockpit and convert both gunner and I into a red smear.
In my defence, it's hard to effectively make use of the 9/14 move in a city.
Ooh, I like your thinking on the Crippled Mechs - but do you think you should be drinking tonight, with a head wound? I know you're definitely not supposed to after a concussion, but even assuming you didn't get a mild concussion from using your cockpit monitors to play pinball with your head, head wounds always bleed a lot, and drinking alcohol after losing a fair amount of blood isn't the greatest idea, either - and you might not have gotten fully tanked up on blood by the medics, as they always like to just top you up and let you make your own, instead of burning resources they might urgently need tomorrow.
As a bonus, the Panther is no slower than your old Centurion! Bit lighter though. And less armour... and fewer guns... although it's got one big one that will do as much damage as your old AC/10! For a lot more heat... Although no ammo consumption or torso bomb chance! But its only other gun doesn't work at all well with it, considering rangebands...
It as hardly your field to use, no, but a sergeant has to be firmly encouraging for the future.
Listen, cockpit pinball is the perfect opening to a night on the lash, and I need to reward the Pvt's somehow. I doubt they'd appreciate tickets to the opera and I can hardly hand them a twenty-four the night after a company sized engagement. Honestly, I've seen smaller fights decide the fate of entire worlds.
Fair point on rewarding them, I just think you should be drinking juice or soft drink or something and acting as Designated Responsible Adult, instead of introducing alcohol to a system low on blood and with possible mild brain trauma (depending on what the medics said). After all, someone needs to be sober enough to keep any of them from mounting up while blotto to 'help reconstruction efforts' and blowing all the goodwill you guys earned today.
Amazingly, only one of my blokes has a working 'mech right now, and that's @DreamerGhost . He's a local boy and unlikely to cause any trouble. @Astaroh-M broke his and @RangerKarl frankly deserves a drink.
Don't knock the backstab machine.And I got two kills. In a Jenner.

And I have the worst piloting skill in the squad. I'm so intact because I (presumably) spent the entire battle moving slowly and carefully and got to fighting after the battle was already over. Repeat until end of battle.Amazingly, only one of my blokes has a working 'mech right now, and that's @DreamerGhost .

I guess that does have an alternate possible meaning in a Battletech story, doesn't it? But rest assured, I was referring to a small (for its type), sub-100 kilos device intended to keep food frozen, not a one-ton LORGE device intended to cool down a fusion engine and associated energy weapons. And it was installed in the cockpit, not the torso. I should have said 'bar freezer', as that's what I was picturing, but fewer people have experience with those - I've got one less than three metres from me, but I know I've mentioned it to people before and they've been very confused, thinking I was meaning a chest freezer or a bar fridge.
Hang at 4-6 hexes to keep in the short range of the PPC and medium of the SRMs. If they try to get into the minimum range of the PPC, they're in short of the SRMs.
I'm just going for the obligatory TRO 3050 DHS joke. You can't say the Panther has a freezer and not expect joking about the -10K.
Yeah, I know that's the standard tactic, I just... I dunno, I've never really gelled with the Panther as a Mech, despite it being quite a good mech.
Yeah, I got it, was just trying (and failing) to play along.
