      My first match was facing my dad. My Awesome,Wolfhound,Dragon and Wolverine Vs His Cyclops, Hunchback, Catapult and Spider.
      Things went well at first with the Hunchback getting wiped by a lot of Headshots by the Wolfhound. Then everything fell apart when over the next few turns every shot from the Awesome missed the Cyclops, the cyclops erased the dragon with an AC-20 headshot (Just for headshot counting here, the Wolfhound rolled all but one M laser as a headshot when it Alpha striked the Hunchback and then AC-20 brings us to 5 headshots rolled). Then the spider survived a punching fight with the Awesome and the Catapult blew the arms off the Wolfhound. The Cyclops only was hit once in the entire battle and walked right over the rest of my lance. Never seen dice like that before or since,on one hand headshots aplenty yet the Awesome missed some insanely easy shots. Oh this was also my dad's first match in longer than I've been alive....his first time back since the clans came out.

      @PTKilowatt 9 років тому +3

      Birgir Birgisson To be fair Mercenaries was the first mechwarrior game that I played so I probably have a bit of a hefty nostalgia bias on my end... but in a way that's sort of the beauty of the Mechwarrior games. Where you come in pretty much dictates how you think this franchise should "feel", with us on one end and the MW2 fans saying it should be more of a warrior culture and less of an outright brawl.
      Of course there's really only one way to settle that argument; challenge the clanner mutant freaks to their own game, then when they're least expecting it CHEAT HARD!

    When I hear this song, I think about the time all five regiments of the Wolf's Dragoons steamrolled the 1st Ryuken on Misery in 3028... and the 8th Sword of Light.... and the 5th Galedon Regulars.... all to get a little payback
