The good news is that you can "flip arms" to fire at the damaged Vedette in your rear arc with AC/10s, and still fire at the VTOL with the medium lasers (or whatever combination you want to manage heat).

Regarding PSRs for death from above, the Hatchetman will take some small amount of damage to the legs. Missing probably requires a PSR, but you guys have pretty good piloting so you'll probably make it.
That's fine - didn't realize those were heavy woods. I'll fire both AC/10s at the 2512 Vedette, and one medium laser at the VTOL.

Can Isgrimnur axe him during the death from above?

Oh also, I'll still torso twist in whatever direction will minimize the number of shots at my back.

Round 2:
Stefan only manages a missile lock on one of the Vedettes through the woods. The LRMs go wide, though.

Isgrimnur fires up the jump jets and tries to intercept the VTOL. Unfortunately, he kind of misses. And by kind of, I mean the snake eyes kind of miss. And lands on his ass, to add insult to injury. The on-board computer helpfully informs him that the rear armor has been breached. No crits, thankfully.

El Guapo runs into the woods, firing his autocannons at a Vedette and missing. His laser grazes the Peregrine VTOL, damaging the rotor.

Gbasden moves to stomp on a Vedette, unloading PPCs on the Jenner. One lighting ball hits the left torso, cracking open the armor and shorting out a jump jet. He takes a seven-pack of SRMs from the nearby Pegasus, but it's sandpaper.

Firing from the Ronin is at long range and pretty ineffective. Looks like they used you guys as a screen just fine.

Battlefield state:
Spoiler:
Enlarge Image
Freyland clambers into the APC and it revs its engine heading north. Perhaps it was not the wisest decision to go over the frozen pond though, as the vehicle breaks through the ice. Freyland manages to jump out, but somebody better go get our mechwarrior out of that water pretty quickly.

Some of the Kungsarme tanks break east in a mostly futile attempt to pursue the Ronin. A Maxim zips over near Freyland's location and disgorges a platoon of guys brandishing laser rifles.

Movement mods:
All Vedettes, Maxim, Jenner: +3
VTOL: +6
Hunchback: +2
Pegasus: +4
Ronin units: +3
Infantry: 0 (and can't fire this turn. Move 1, Range 2/4/6 next turn, doing approximately 8 damage if hits.
Wet Freyland can be retrieved by having a mech end its turn in the same hex as the wrecked APC.
Since you can only walk or jump into a water hex, it looks like Stefan is the only hope here, as you can't jump from a prone position.
Also, fair warning, Stefan, four of your jump jets are in the legs, so they won't work underwater.

Couldn't I walk to 2310 to get Freyland? It looks like 2 normal overland hexes and then 2 to enter the water, and I'm a 4/6?

Entering a depth 1 water hex actually costs 3 MP: 1 for the hex, 1 for the elevation change from 0 to -1 and 1 for entering a water hex.

Man, I guess we should've been manually controlling that APC - that was pretty dumb to go over the ice. Oh well.

I'll run to 2405, turn twice to the left, and torso twist once more to the left.

I'll shoot the AC/10s and one medium laser at the Vedette in 2109.

Each rotor hit reduces the VTOL's "walk" (cruise) MP by 1 (and, consequently, run MP by 2). So it's a little slower.

Round 4:
The Maxim is a pretty tough customer and opens up on Gbasden. Luckily for him, most of the shots whiff, only an SRM and a few stray machine gun rounds hitting.

The Hunchback tries to get Isgrimnur as he backs up, but only hits with one laser. Isgrimnur lets rip with the AC/10 at the Maxim, the stream of autocannon rounds ripping through the hover skirt, followed up by a couple of medium lasers. Gbasden puts a stop to the Hunchback's activity by knocking it down to a knee with a PPC and a pair of medium lasers. On the way past the Maxim, Isgrimnur's foot "accidentally" brushes a couple of guys from the infantry platoon. That'll help reduce their firepower.

El Guapo opens up on the Vedette, hitting with every shot. The right side armor is looking mighty thin, but the vehicle stays operational. He takes an AC/5 hit back, but armor holds.

Stefan attracts some inaccurate fire with his jump jet acrobatics, splashing down into the water and zapping the Maxim with one of three lasers. The Trebuchet then scoops up Freyland before it gets too cold in that water. Now to get out of there.

Battlefield State:
Spoiler:
Enlarge Image
Most of the Ronin have exited the battlefield, leaving just the two mechs as rear guard against a Pegasus and a Vedette.

The Hunchback has a little trouble getting up, but eventually manages it. The laser rifle infantry slink off into the woods, to avoid getting mowed down too much. The FRR Vedettes surround the woods, while the Jenner goes all in. El Guapo's target backs up instead. He's not out of the fight, but definitely being more cautious.

Movement mods:
All Vedettes, except southern one: 3
Southern Vedette: 2
Hunchback: 0
Jenner: 3
VTOL: 6

Addendum: Walking out of water takes two MP - one for the elevation change and one for the hex.

Kick's not happening, torso twist only affects weapons fire arcs. Rest of the plan checks out.

I can't remember - can I step over a tracked unit? Could I move over the Maxim to 2007 and then turn to face S?

Unfortunately, no. You can step into the same hex, but you can't leave that hex.

Round 5:
El Guapo's new position in the woods attracts a lot of fire from the units to the east. He takes two autocannon shots from some Vedettes, which throws off his aim off against the Jenner, causing him to miss every shot. To his surprise, Stefan manages to score a laser hit on the Jenner as he runs by.

Isgrimnur breaks through the woods and rattles off a burst from his AC/10, following up with a couple of lasers. The target Vedette burps up a cloud of oily smoke and puffs, then stops moving entirely, making the use of the hatchet unnecessary.

Gbasden takes some minor damage from the pulled-back Vedette and Hunchback, delivering a fairly substantial beating as a PPC and all four lasers connect, stripping a lot of armor, especially from the mech's right leg. The two mechs trade kicks, with the Hunchback coming out behind in terms of amount of armor lost, but remain upright. The target readout shows the enemy mech's leg and left torso armor in the red.

To the east, the escaping Ronin do us a favor, their Wasp disabling the enemy Pegasus with an SRM salvo. That leaves a pretty small group able to keep up with us.

Enlarge Image
A lance of Vedettes forms up to the north of the woods, in an attempt to keep us from escaping to the "more difficult" terrain north of the battlefield. The Jenner continues zipping around the woods, while the Hunchback moves in as well. The laser infantry appear to have set up some tripod-mounted weapons in the woods.

Movement mods:
Vedettes: 3
Eastern-most Vedette: 1
Jenner: 1 (not including the heavy woods)
Hunchback: 2
VTOL: 6

Mechanical note about leaving the map: you need to be on one of the very edge hexes and standing up to be able to exit. I would suggest maximizing your movement mods if you plan on leaving on the next turn.

Round 6:
Our mechs make their way north, attempting to punch through the Vedette formation.

El Guapo is a little slowed by heat, but makes it close enough to where he's going. About half his AC/10 rounds land on the target Vedette, pockmarking the rear side and damaging the treads to slow the tank down.

Stefan, Gbasden and Isgrimnur team up on the single AC/2 Vedette, with Stefan causing the most damage - a laser cuts into the side, while another goes through the thin space between the turret and main body, jamming the turret in an awkward side-facing position. With Gbasden's PPC impacting the left side of the tank, it's mobility is pretty severely limited. When Stefan gives it a boot to the front, it's basically a wheeled vehicle at this point.

We take some minor damage but nothing serious. However, Gbasden's center torso armor indicator starts blinking red.

Back into 1701, turn to the Jenner, and show him my hatchet.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Yep, everyone can make the edge, even El Guapo, whose mech is glowing a little.

Run to 2701, turn twice to the left and torso twist to the left. Fire everything at the Vedette in 2801 and boot it, and then leave the battlefield.

FYI, you're down to 3/5 movement due to heat.
