Red Lance, standing by...
My Capellan Urbanmech 'Red Lance' is now painted in recognition of it's glorious actions in combat vs. Frankie who was fielding my Wobblies. I only have a few pics of this action which he won, though it came down to the last die roll.
The fighting in this shot was brutal with my Urbie, Raven, and his Sentinel going down, and the Blackjack suffering crippling injuries. It should also be noted that this is on Frankie's side of the table meaning that Urbie had crossed almost the entire table!
Indeed his 'victory' was pyrrhic at best as his lone surviving Blackjack had just 1 point of structure left and a 2" rate of movement. You know it's bad when Urbanmechs are trying to run you down!
The last surviving Wobbly mech, the aforementioned Blackjack was hiding behind that ruined tower in the distance. Thus my UM-R63 sprinted (for a few turns) to try and run it down. In the final exchange of fire, my shots were off by 1 and lacking any rerolls, he won by the skin of his teeth!
Yet another Urbie entering itself into the history books!
The BEST part of the game however was when UM-R69 'Red 1' rolled a box cars to hit AND to crit killing that far-off Crab with one shot! Now I've had Urbies 1-shot-kill significantly larger enemy mechs in both Alpha Strike and Classic Battletech (the latter case was years ago in which a UM-R63 had a golden BB that took down a King Crab in 1-shot).
The previously painted 'Blue Lance'.
As such, I painted the whole lance finishing off my Capellan Homeguard demi-company (for now). Being a Homeguard unit, tanks and infantry are sure to follow at some point.'Red 1' now sporting it's well earned kill marking on the autocannon's barrel.
