Dang! missed legging Mekslayer by 1! Good thing that cat's only got 7 more lives!

Yeah, I was surprised you actually did that! Mostly because your fire was already coming in from the right side, so a better chance at hitting the leg to begin with. Not sure he'll be around this turn for you to finish off.

Turn 9 movement is in the books!! Everyone take notice that jymset is more than halfway around. Not that I'm trying to call him out or anything!!

Well, considering you've had back armor on one of them for 5 of the last 6 turns, and have never taken it...

I'm lulling him into a false sense of security...

Whelp, I guess I'll have to do your jobs for y'all, starting next turn.

You mean, MASC and Supercharger in the same turn, coupled with a Sprint, and a pilot check needing a 7+?

Ya, so my first thought was exactly that: he won’t be around next turn to finish off. So my logic was this. I can’t finish him with a torso destruction as he has clan xl engines, 2 engine hits and he’s still up, so I NEED the leg destruction.
So my options were:
91.66% chance to hit him needing a 4+; then for hit location I need a 3 (8.33%) or a 6 (13.88%)= total (22.21 %) chance to hit him in the right leg and rip it off.
Or
41.66% chance to hit him with 8+ for aiming at right leg; then for hit location I need a 6 (13.88%), 7 (16.66%), or 8 (13.88%) = total (44.42 %) chance to hit it. If those numbers weren’t rolled, then another 22.21% chance to hit the 3, or 6 locations normally.
I suppose I could've figured in the extra 2.77% chance to hit his head with the almost guaranteed first option, but I didn’t figure that into the second chance either.
So: I picked option 2. Still think it was the best option for me, although option 1 would've likely softened him up for future players targeting him.

You just did all that math right now, didn't you?!?! I do appreciate the well thought out response though. It highlights that, more often then not, there is a reason to the madness!
