Played the third game of our Rasalhague 3034-campaign yesterday.

The terrain greatly favoured my opponent (Mapsheets rolled were Mountain Lake - Battletech ), allowing for them to basically set up a firebase on the mountain and pummel my approaching 'mechs.

The scenario was 7500 BV, both forces had to bring one Assault 'mech and deploy it before their other forces. Game lasts 8 turns and is decided via points, with points given via

-50 points for crippled/destroyed enemy 'mech
-50 points for destroyed/retreated enemy assault 'mech
-1 point per point of damage dealt by your Assault 'mech (caps at 125 points).

So obviously my opponents Awesome pummeled maximum points from dealing damage, while I managed to take down a Panther as it got a bit too exposed, ammo exploded his Orion, but lost the Hunchback who valiantly charged across open terrain to get up close, and my Marauder got crippled via engine damage.

So on the final turn, my Banshee has been hanging back because fuck trying to get across an open field, taking potshots here and there. I've effectively lost the mission. My opponent decides to jump back with his remaining Panther and Wolverine so I can't get lucky shots at them. The Awesome is overheating and stays still in the Heavy Forest it had been camping in all game. I shoot at the Awesome with everything I have in the hopes of a TAC or like, nothing but CT hits.

An AC/10 and a PPC hit. Pic related shows the hit location rolls.

The Carmine Company salvaged an almost-pristine Awesome after that game...
