First Combat Encounter

Here we go!

Goliath evasion is 6, so 8 hits. And it is 3 damage in total, but it's not pushed back due to a trait of this specific hull

So snake suggest you to set your one of your mechs to self-destruction mode, abandon it and get into your back up mech.
hey, that's just because in Lancer you can do such a fancy move.

Your evasion is 8 so it hits and Gory takes 4 points of damage

Sasha's mech's have Comp/Con-Class Assistant Units. Can she issue it instructions to have it move to a specified location and activate the self-destruct?

good question. Let's say you can.

After revisiting rules I have a reason to propose following:

A.I. is indeed an intelligence and does as rules say "Your mech will follow basic courses of action (defend this area, attack this enemy, protect
me, etc.) to the best of its ability". I will behave on behalf of that A.I. and will follow basic courses of action that you will describe.

Just for fun let's say that A.I. can't initiate SELF_DESTRUCT for security reasons (it is well known enemy can hack into your A.I.), but you can certainly tell mech to "go attack goliath at close range".

Gonna need a few days... pulled a tendon in my wrist and typing's a beach.

Wrist is getting better... slower than I expected... If all goes well I should be back in business by Friday.

@Choomie would you like to make your turn ? Rule allow players to consult and choose which one is going first so you can just go ahead and do the turn

Attacking Ace #1 with Assault Rifle. Reliable 2.

I'm sorry but you don't have line of sight neither to Ace #1 nor Ace 2. See Line of Sight in game rules
Black hexes are full cover - there is a building between you and ace 1There are exceptions, but I don't think any of them apply to Assault Rifle

Could I expend a charge Ammo Case to add "Mag" to my assault rifle?

"1/turn, when you attack with a Main ranged weapon, you may expend charges to apply one of the following effects to your attack at the listed cost."

"Mag: The attack gains Arcing and deals Kinetic damage."

EDIT: Also, totally understandable about the game coming to an end. Thank you for taking the time to show us the ropes.

Yes looks like you can. While enemy still gain benefit of full cover and it means instead of +1d6 you have -1d6 to hit I'm taking (14) - (5) which is less than enemy evasion and you miss
But since rifle is reliable you still make 2 damage - enough to end this minion. Ace 1 is down

So we are back to enemy turn

@Balthazar your turn

Should I assume the unused leadership point from DrGwen's character was returned to Sasha?

Also, no worries... I totally understand... my honey do list has grown exponentially since the weather has gotten nice... luckily it doesn't really effect my work.
