MechCommander: Clan Wars

[ASME]

Ok... this is my first attempt at starting a RP thead, so i may not be very good at DMing but i hope that with peoples help this thread will become a very succesful one... ok on with the thread....

*The planet Port Aurther... the Counter Attack begins

Fighter Captin: "Thats the last contact... your all clear... we are assuming escort positions..."
Ship Commander #1: "Rodger... we are going for landing...."
Ship Commander #2: "We are go for landing... all decks prepare for gravity change... Mech Commanders report landing zone status."

*MechCommand Room on the Primary Drop Ship. The MechCommanders are at their stations and a recieving reports from the suface situated Mech Warriors...

Alpha Commander: "Alpha Landing Zone Clear"
Bravo Commander: "Bravo Zone Clear"
Delta Commander: "Delta Zone Clear"

Cmr Harrison: "Panther, I need Charlie zone status... report..."

*Port Aurthers Surface, a group of four machs patrol Charlie Zone. Panther - Raven-A; Venture - Centurian-W; Hardcase - Hunchback-W and Siren - Commando-J

Panther: "Sir, its real quiet down here, I think we can call it clear..."
Cmr Harrison: "You think? don't think Mech Warrior, find out, now finish the sweep..."
Flight Attendent: "Sir, Flight Contor need final conformation of landing zone status."
MchCmr Herrse: "Harrison, I need Charlie zone status, I have an invasion to go to."
Cmr Harrison: "Sweaping final sector now.. Sir"
MchCmr Herrse: "Well, I think we can count on Mr. Harrison... Repor all zones clear..."
Flight Attendent: "Report All Zones Clear, We are go for landing... Landing in 1:32...1:31...1:30..."
Cmr Harrison: "Alright lets move it up... Panther, Siren move up to waypoint Delta."

Venture: "I got something..."
Cmr Harrison: "Clear the channels, i've got enemy contacts... Hardcase, Venture move up lets see what we got...
MchCmr Herrse: "I take it youv'e got it under control Mr. Harrison..."
Cmr Harrison: "Okay... Lets get this done people.."

Hardcase: "Heh.. Come on out, lets see what we got..."

*Form nowhere multiple LRM's slam into Hardcase's mech.

Hardcase: "$h!t..."
Panther: "Son of a Bitch!... Sir they've got us ranged"
Cmr Harrison: "Then get to them Panther..."

*The mechs open fire on thier unseen foe while yet more LRM's streak into Hardcase's mech sending it sprawling acrros the street

Hardcase: "Damn it.... im ejecting...ejecting,ejecting...."

*Hardcases command pod launches itself from the mech as it falls dom and the reactor explodes...

Cmr Harrison: "Track that pod...."
Venture: "Mad Cat.... its a Jaguar Mad Cat,"
Cmr Harrison: "Ok, Venture, Siren move to these co-ordinates..."

*The two mechs move of leaving Panther to fend for himself

Panther: "What the hell?... Sir?"
Cmr Harrison: "Hold your position Panther"

*The Mad Cat is now upon Panther and is turning the corner to chase the other mechs....

Cmr Harrison: "Panther , Hit him, get his attention..."
Panther: "Sir.....?"
Cmr Harrison: "DO IT"

*Panther lets 2 of his SRM's slam into the Mad Cats vulnerable rear armour, the Mad Cat turns to face Panther, and Panther takes a nervous step back...

Flight Attendent: "He's serriously out gunned...."
Panther: "Sir... I.... I..."
Cmr Harrison: "Ok Panther, now move out... follow this path..."
Panther: "Rodger that!..."

*Panther turns and runs along the path set down by Cmr Harrison, followed by the slower Mad Cat that is infuriated by the little mech...

Cmr Harrison: "Turn.. take the turn!"

*Panther turns the corner as he is being pepered with laser and autocannon fire

Panther: "Sir.. i can't keep this pace up much longer..."
Cmr Harrison: "Almost there... now take the right turn..."

*Panther turns the corner to find himself in a dead end and a rather angry Mad Cat a way behind him

Panther: "Sir, this is a dead end.... I don't have jumpjets....."
Cmr Harrison: "I know what you've got warrior.."

* The Mad Cat finnaly catches up to Panther and brings its weapons to bear ominously"

Panther: "Damn it Sir, I need some help here..."
Cmr Harrison: "Here it comes...."

*Venture and Siren appear behind the Mad Cat and laung a volley of LRM's into it's rear armour... The Mad Cat suddenly turns round to face these new foes... and watches them as the come closer firing their waepons and scratching his paint...

Cmr Harrison: "Panther finish him..."

*Panther launches his SRM's again into the back of the Mad Cat, this time damaging enough of the rear armour for the reactor to be damaged.... the Mad Cat explodes in a garish sci-fi burst of light.

Panther: "Oh man....."
Venture: "Hey Panther... d'you miss us?"
Panther: "Reporting Charlie Zone Clear, Sir."
MchCmr Herrse: "Good Job, Harrison, now lets sitch up, we have an invasion to go to..."
Cmr Harrison: "Mech Warriors, you should have a visual on us, now form up and stay sharp..."
Venture: "Rodger that... 1 clanner down, another hundered to go... welcome to Port Aurther Sir..."

<<< ERORR >>> havn't finished yet...

[flapjack]

is this going to be more strategical, if not, i'll go and complain it's a copy of mine. If it is, i'll join

[ASME]

flapjack it is definatly more stratigical... you only have limited mech weights per mission, and if there are availibilities to colect salvage and piolet enemy mechs

[flapjack]

well, there are weight limits on mechs in my thread, but i suppose you mean these weight limits in a slightly different way. You can also collect (and use) salvage. Piloting enemy mechs will however pose a minor problem, seeing as how 'brid mechs don't have any c*ckpits

[Mad cat]

flapjack dm your thread now

glares

[ASME]

... flapjack..... the Clan Wars is about humans versus humans, The good guys, the IS (Inner Sphere) and the Clanners were all one part of the Star Leauge of Colonized planets long ago.... unffortunatly there was a n incident where the two main group of colonized worlds , clashed on a remote planet rich with reasources....this incident escelated as more and more matters were decided by long battles on the planet surface... many other croups of planets in the star Leauge took sides in this war but a few decided to leave the rest behind and escaped to a nearby galaxy cluster in order to try and rid themselves of the greed that had spread through the once magnificent Leauge.... Meanwhile the crisis kept on growing and the Leauge was split down the middle and all out war broke out. The wars varried in length but the outcome was always the same, both sides always lost millions of warriors, hundereds of planets and many millions of tons in reasources.... this thread is set in the turning point of the 4th Clan War, the IS has taken heavy damage to its core systems and has lost over 1/3rd of its planets to the Clan, In a desperation move the IS has called up all its reserves to gaurd the core planets from attack while the main military force of Mech Commanders, Warriors and Vehicle Piolets, go forth to the planets taken by the Clanners and wage a last ditch attempt to commpletely topple the Clanners hierachy....

Well anyway on with the thread....

Flapjack, you can't legitimately be claiming intellectual property rights to fictional material that you didn't actually create yourself.

Perhaps you should post a mission so we can actaully design mechs for it

[ASME]

Will do..... just give me about 18 hours to get all the info off my computer

[Hewitt]

*Reserves himself a place for later.*

[ASME]

Ok lets get this started

Mission 1: You have just landed on Port Aurther, Your company, Zulu, has been charged with scouting the nearby industrial area for possible resource collection, initial scans report only a few Clan Mechs, but multiple light vehicle contacts. This should be a regular scout and clear mission, you gear up and prepare to have your Mech deployed.

Initial surroundings:

The landscape is flat and barren, sparce veggitation provides the only change in the landscape from dull grey brown. There are hills two and a half miles nw of your position and the industrial area is 4 miles west of your current position, your sensors read all clear at the moment. Breaking the silence Cmr Harrison's voice comes over the comm link. "Allright this is it Mech Warriors, now move out and report in when you reach the industrial area." You listen to the crackle of the radio fade and begin the 20 minuite walk to the industrial area......
