Let's Megamek: Have PPC Will Travel - May 11, 3000 - Dust Storm Greenhorns Rounds 7-8

I think this more condensed version is much better. Just speed through a lot of the "busywork" to get to what happened, keeps things much faster.

@@EvilTwinn I'm hoping in future battles I can just go In to the game knowing I'll do this to make it flow even better.

Gosh I only did that tiny story off the top of my head. To see Bear's medical chart and sorta match it, man.... I'm sure Bonnie would be happy if Bear survived, regardless of the injuries he took. Bonnie's traits sorta give her the big sister feel, though she's only a year older than Bear. Trauma bonding mayhaps? 😅

@@Tenkgard I thought it was funny when you kinda called it. I had to think if I actually mentioned what had happened. 😂

@@QuestingTruck In the first episode you did a pretty good intro on each character and mech, stuff like who's married to who and whatnot. So I guess I got ideas from there. Glad you liked it. Not sure if I'll continue but you never know LOL.

I think I missed an episode and things have gone a little awry! I like this method of speeding through some of the slower parts better. This is turning out to be a real expensive fight! I think we need much more using our Lyran friends as meat shields. They're not paying us enough to get shot at this much! As for Foolish Bear... well I'd be fine with it either way. Having a death in your first battle can make for a good story beat but Battletech can be pretty brutal at times and it'd be annoying to lose all the heroes in quick time. Do any of your pilots have edge available? It might be a good idea to give a few of your core characters that you want to keep around a point or two to lessen the chance of them getting one-shot in the head.

I've been trying to find a better way of sorting the videos. I'm trying to just sort it by the in game date of the video but battles tend to be several videos on the same day. I have put them in a playlist which can help. I've also started putting the rounds covered in the battle on the thumbnail to help keep things sorted. I'd certainly like to use the Lyrans a bit more but I can't control them directly. the allies are AI controlled as well. I think it is partially due to the type of control the Lyrans have over us in the contract. I think if we had Liason contracts we would be able to better control them but I'm not sure if that is how it works with the new Stratcon rules. As for Foolish Bear. I'm ok with him dying. I kinda went back and forth in my head over it when I was doing this battle but eventually decided to just play it as written. I then saw someone in the comments indicated they might want to see him survive and so I decided it best to leave it up to a poll. If you've not voted in it it should be accessible through the community tab on my channel page. With regards to edge they didnt have edge at this time. They do end up getting edge after this battle which Ill show when we get there but I'm not sure edge would have helped in this case either.
