It was more of a Jedi mind trick type of thing....

Actually, as the lone non-TBolt, I was shooting my PPCs at Jeff's Mech. I only shot my puny LRM-5s at Merl because they were the only things that I had a decent chance to hit with! ( I wasn't leaving my hill to get trampled by a herd of TBolts! Plus I was afraid that Nate would yell at me for getting in his way! ) And I would have hit him that first time, if he hadn't gone prone!!
Actually, I was quite glad to see the Merle was so far away, as he blew off my Battleaxe's head the previous battle in the scrapyard with his....TBolt!!! Hey, when did he get to switch 'Mechs?!

Two turns in a row Nate had a perfect move lined up only to have it "stolen" away from him...it was very funny.

Not true. They kill themselves quite regularly....

So true lol. That's why I took the variant without the ammo.
Not true. They kill themselves quite regularly....

Apparently, somebody spoke to soon:
battletech.catalystgamelabs.com/2009/08/10/sometimes-things-just-dont-go-as-we-want-them-to/
So now we have several categories to remember:
Unseen - all the Mechs whose images were originally banished
Reseen - new image versions of all the Unseen
Previously Unseen - reinstated Unseen (all except 12 below)
Re-Unseen - Unseen that looked like they were going to be Previously Unseen, but shall forever remain Unseen! (Archer, Longbow, Rifleman, Warhammer, Wasp, Stinger, Phoenix Hawk, Crusader, Marauder, Stinger LAM, Wasp LAM and Phoenix Hawk LAM)
Headache anyone?! Personally I think that the whole situation is Ob-seen!

Oye.
It appears that we can't even blame Harmony Gold this time as it seems they no longer have the rights to those images. I do hope something can be worked out.
