Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Nineteen:

So, Titan Attack part Two, this time a 2-skull version in the Tundra as oppose to the Jungle! Same team as previously - Scarlet in the Decapitator, Poppy in the Fair Marauder, Velina in the Bull Shark and Pseekie in the Catapult Hammer.

This time, there were TWO Assault mech signatures!

Okay. So. Trying to do a screenshot-by-screenshot repeat of all the dialogue like it did with Stardew Valley and hiterto up to now is not really going to work here. This session (this PART of the session - would have generated about 123 screenshots). That's kind of excessive; and beside, unlike, say Stardew Valley, where I was doing Illy's interjections, there's really not a lot for Lynessa to be saying between screenshots. (And also, tyring to keep in it batches of 35 or so, so when posted on

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Seventeen:

Okay, first, a 2-skull Destroy Base for the Free Worlds League against the planetary government.

Scarlet would take the Decapitator, Velina would take the Fair Marauder, Natasha the Stalker Barrage and Shelat the Catapult Hammer.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Five:

Righty-doke, then, where were we?

That's right - anti-Kurita missions. Starting with a 4-skull mission to capture a newly-activated factory from them for Davion.

It was in polar climes, so the current lance - Zuranna in the Decapitator, Mylassta in the Rocket Shark, Natasha (still in high spirits) in the Bull Shark and Summer in the Annihilator - would do fine.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Eight:

So, considering this got posted on Sunday, you can imagine how well it went on Saturday's session, can't you...?

On day 1102, the paladins arrived at Frazer.

"Frazer?" Lynessa asked a cheerfully humming Poppy. "Weren't we going to Horsham?"

"Um, no ma'am," Poppy replied, smiling softly. "Why would we go there? You wanted to fight Kuriat, didn't you?"

"Yes," Lynessa replied, feeling confused. "Yes, I did..."

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Two:

Last night was quite short, but I finished late, so figured I might as well add it to today's, since that would be a bit shorter than usual, since I went out for the afternoon.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Five:

Will be a short one today; got to knock it off early, because we're out early tomorrow morning for a much-needed tomato-soup-in-the-car day trip.

Okay, so two 2-skull and two 3-skull missions to choose from (all from Davion). Lynessa somewhat arbitrarily elected to start with a 2-skull test drive, the Davions wanting to further test a Cataphract 1x by killing some pirates.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Eight:

Looking at the positions of the enemy indicators, Mylassta had he lance head south, towards the reinforcements, and away from the other nominal contacts.

The first warning the reinforcement lance had that things were about to go south was when the head of the Stalker exploded.

Part 23B: Finale

The final finale...!

Winter Day 26, Year Two

Part 23A: Finale

Had to devide this into two parts (I hope two will be sufficient!) because of the number of images in the last gasp! (Yell if you see any broken image links, but it all appears clear on my end!)

Thursday, Winter Day 18, Year Two

Time is moving on... It won't be long now before Illy has to go to magical paladin school!

Olivia is the one Illy will be giving a secret present to this year... Wine? No, a diamond, everyone likes diamonds.

And we are back.

While away, Derpy and Sunset helped with a little hydrodynamic engineering...

Not bad for a mere hour or so's work.

Anyhoo, without further ado...

Part 21: Miner Incidents

Been a little quiet this week, but this is simply because of various day-trips or otherwise being-out-ness and the short evenings before chewing into my playing time...

Friday, Autumn Day 27, Year Two

Illy finds that her Rare Seeds have sprouted into Sweet Gem berries. After some debate, she elects to sell one silver berry, save the gold one and place the last into the seed maker - which gives her two to plant again.

Part Six

Day Seventy-Eight.

There weren't any pressing tasks (and they were still plenty close enough to get to that nearby loot site soon enough), so Stab started out on planning her throne room.

She elected to have a jade door for this one.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Nine:

Next mission - a 4-skull clash of the titans between a Capellan Assault mech and... Someone else.

It in the badlands, so the lance would be the same as previously - Pseekie in the Overlord, Mylassta in the Annihilator, Alarhan in the Shortbow, Natasha in the Bull Shark.

Part Twenty-Seven

Day Two-Hundred and Ninety-Eight.

Okay.

Stab would try this quest now.

Read More

Part Eighteen

Day Two-Hundred and Twenty-Four, several times...

((No clue as to the temperature thing. After much reloading experimentation, the only thing that worked was moving the new heaters to the outer corridor. No idea why rooms near the other larger corridors weren't affected.

Also, the over-wall cooler in the dining room was backwards. Dammit.))

Restructuring happened.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Ten:

Next job for the pirates - 1.5 skull convoy ambush, only with one of the convoy supposedly being a Shrek PPC carrier.

So, back into the Phoenix Hawk with Alarhan, and Lynessa would be taking out the Kintaro.

The defenders did not, in fact, have a Shrek PPC carrier; it was a Striker, a Bulldog, and LRM carrier, a Shadowhawk and a Locust.

BOOM! Headshot. (And without the need for Azurella's guidance for once...!)

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Eighteen:

Didn't do anything on Friday (well, I DID spend an hour or two going through HeavyMetalPro and adding a [Mech designation]"-2" wherein ala BATTLETECH, any rear-weapons were facing forwards...) and not much yesterday, not enough to warrent a full installment.

Lynessa put the Banshee is storage - there really wasn’t any point keeping it lurking if it wasn't going to be outfitted.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Fourteen:

Off they set to Mendham.

To come to a complete grinding halt. Scarlet had Accidentally the Engines, with a laser pointer. Farah was grimly amused, Darius (as usual) was just No-Fun-Stick-Up-Arse man about it, Pseekie was in a fit of hysterical laughter and Scarlet was quite distraught.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Sixteen:

There were three contracts at Independence - two for the pirates (might as well do them for the reputation) and one for the Canopians.

On that basis, there was no reason to delay moving on with the flashpoint.

The Baumann Group's distribution centre was in the middle of the jungle. The plan was to ambush their patrol lance before hitting the facility itself.
