Got to play that match against my brother today, doing Instant Action’s Hot Potato scenario. Close match, it was pretty even the whole game but I eked out a narrow victory. I think the only major tactical error he made was ignoring the stormbirds, those had the Hatamoto basically stunlocked from turn 1 and then knocked the poor bastard unconscious from 2 head hits and an ammo explosion. Honestly super impressed with the stormbirds in general, they also shut down the Wolverine later so my war crow could pass the bomb back to an easy target on turn 5 before it exploded at the end of turn 6. My biggest mistake was going for the black knight right after picking up the bomb; I should have built a little more distance instead of walking right up to him and only building 1 TMM. If I had been patient enough to line up a longer run/jump for the next turn I probably wouldn’t have had my heaviest mech cored out in a single turn.

MASC should honestly be free use on the first turn, but then we wouldn’t get fun stories like this lmao
