Ok. so, maybe I am stupid and going in on a suicide run, but my theory on how to attack the mist is to use indirect attacks. It knows when it is targeted, somehow. We also know that physical attacks do no good, but energy does, so we need to use lasers and explosions to bombard the mist without directly hitting it. My potential suicide in this being that I am going to charge up my wave surger for a medium ranged attack, so I have to be withing its firing ring, and I am going to strafe it with the laser. By not targeting it, I am hoping to not trigger it's auto fire. Alternately, Caretaker could send a few bots after it, as they are autonomous and wont be a loss of life to the team if they get destroyed, objectively speaking of course. So you might use them as a good ol' CRV drone rush, once everybody is out of range.
So, with the one charge previously permitted by our lovely GM, I have to charge two more times before I am ready to fire. I intended to move to G5, the landing zone, to attack the mist. However,
@DarkRecon @Apollosarcher and
@Evil Snowman, you are all within the Mist AOE. So I will delay attacking the mist until you are moved out of the way. As Paladin and Caretaker are dug in, I assume that I should leave you be to defend that position for a bit longer. If you can provide cover fire going after the three CWM in H3, I'll focus on the tentacle monster in I2. The sniper in F2 is also of concern, but if Zim goes after the tentacle monster, or the CWM then he will get flanked in a hurry. So my current objective as the board currently sits, as long as caretaker and paladin can provide some draw/cover fire, is to go after the tentacle monster, then circle around the outside and go after the sniper. I'll then join in the fray on the CWMs or re-assess priorities at that point.
Neo-Angel, my recommendation for you would be to go after the tentacle monster in H8, moving out of firing range of the Mist and clearing that corner of the board.
Just my observations and recommendations. I am at work, so I wont be able to make an IC post for a few hours, but I plan on waiting for a little bit to give everybody a chance to react to my proposed plan. Caretaker, if we all like it, call it out in the comm and take credit for it ;)
