Not a problem 9 pm est on Monday is great.

Unfortunately I'm not sure I can host while on vacation but we will find out worst case scenario we can connect to one of the megamek servers I saw on CBT.

looks like its not pertinent in op round 3, but for future reference here's the link to the CF tables. Guangzhou should use the Oriente/Andurien table

If you call in air support, determine the composition of each lance by rolling once on the chart, they'll be pairs of the same type.

Good luck in your upcoming battle!

Thanks, I'll need it.  

For anyone who's following this thread, we're playing "Best of X" in megamek to resolve this battle (we agreed to switch to Mixed and do SR for the rest if we can't play all the games, get burn-out, or whatever).

We scaled down the Battalion combat to 3 lots of Company vs Company. I tossed in a single squad of BA alongside each of my Companies to represent the Inf support. We're playing on standard mapsheets, 2x2.

[Dave Baughman]

Sounds like an excellent way to approach the fight.

Technically though you are entitled to use a lot more BA if you want, but I can also understand the value of conserving your forces for now. Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing how things turned out.

Oh yeah, looks like I miscalculated. I could have taken 4 squads in each. Ah well, I'll know for next time.

3rd 'set' of the battle is simple res, by agreement:


10 (Light Mech company) + 2 (4 squads of IS Standard BA) = 12 FP total.
