Game Mechanics

This page is a work in progress.

The following is a list of tips and articles relating to game mechanics.

Movement

• When attacking, you suffer a -1 penalty to accuracy if you walked, -2 if you sprinted, and -3 if you jumped.
• Sprinting does not end your turn.
• Evasion is not removed from 'Mechs when they are attacked.
• Sprinting and jumping with damaged leg actuators can cause a 'Mech to fall over.

Leg Actuator Damage

If a 'Mech has leg actuator damage a threshold percentile check is made at the end of a sprint or jump made by that 'Mech (if the pilot rolls 30 or lower on a d100 check it fails) to see if it falls over.
