Very reliable squad, not expecting too much trouble. Doing this for some extra money.
A quick warmup battle:
Team A: Mystic
Total Tonnage: 179.0
Average Rank: Regular

Team B: Random generated team
Total Tonnage: 102.3
Average Rank: Hero

Map: Terran, fog of war on, small map, river, wood, and hills all set to 0%

0001: Monique spots 2 titans, a light and a recon. Begins targetting recon. Noir locks onto the light. Poco locks onto the recon.
0007: Enemy light titan fires potshots at Noir, 1 missile salvo hits, light damage spread.
0008: Monique locks on recon titan, begins scan. Noir does the same to the light titan. Poco follows suit with the recon.
0032: Monique gains a yellow scan on the Recon. Identified as a Fireball. Yaaay flamethrowers.
0036: Noir fails the scan on the light, oh well, it's 15 hexes away, another scan coming up.
0044: Poco fails his scan.
0053: Noir is taking light damage, enemy light titan and Fireball both score hits with their missiles.
0063: Yellow scan accomplised by Noir, the enemy light is a Guillotine.
0078: More missiles for Noir, light damage in CT.
0094: Noir runs quickly through a puddle... aaaand falls down. She loses lock on the Guillotine. Poco and Monique close in on the approaching Fireball.
0099: The Guillotine has switched targets to Monique, fires off some salvos of missiles. Light damage. The Fireball turns to face Monique, fires all it's weapons, and misses.
0100: Noir sure likes to play around in the water, she fails the piloting check.
0105: Monique gets a green scan right before a charge, this is gonna get interesting. Poco parks himself right behind the Fireball to get some shots in after his scan is done.
0107: Monique charges the Fireball sucessfully, then falls down. The Fireball stays upright. Oh I forgot, they're Hero pilots.
0108: Noir gets up, and begins to walk through another puddle while reaquiring the lock on the Guillotine.
0112: Chimz gets a nice yellow scan on the Fireball then plants a cold light gun shot on it's head.
0114: Monique gets up and blasts away. Misses with 1 power axe but peppers the Fireball with some MG fire. Ordered to jump up.
0117: Fireball pilot ejects? No fun...
0136: Poco gets a nice faceful of missiles from the Guillotine, and then a second serving. Noir walks through the second puddle and aces the skill check. Gets a green scan on the Guillotine right after.
0140: Mystic squad has the Guillotine in their scanners and are closing in. Guillotine is 8 hexes away.
0150: That Guillotine pilot is just plastering Poco with missiles. Minimal damgage though. The enemy is now only 7 hexes away. Noir takes some "Why not?" shots and misses with both her cold light guns.
0151: Monique gets a green scan.
0159: More and more missiles for Poco, light damage.
1165: Poco must be a little disoriented from all those missiles , another failed scan.
1174: Noir got a little too close, Guillotine switched targets to her and she's now being hammered with guided flying explosives. She returns fire 2 seconds later with both her CLGs, the hit in the CT and LT. Enemy is about 4 hexes away now.
0198: Poco lands a solid hit on the Guillotine's LoT with one of his CLGs.
0200: I check the Guillotine's move; walk backwards. I move Monique into position behind the enemy. Since it's standing in a ditch, it's gonna take awhile for it to walk backwards out. 2 hexes away.
0223: The enemy finally moves, although my squad is positioned for the kill. Weapons are hot and ready. It'll all be over soon.
0223: Perfectly timed! Monique runs into the enemy's path right as he retreats. Hits with all her weapons and then ordered to run out and around to come in for another sweep attack.
0227: Gah lucky shot! Monique goes down with a busted LoT. Noir comes to the rescue a second later and takes down the Guillotine with 2 shots to the right leg with the CLGs. Yay! Flamethrower range time! Her titan isn't called Freezer Burn for nothing you know. She manages to hit with 1 flamer from 1 hex away.
0234: Poco closes into 1 hex range and blasts the Guilltine with both CLGs. 13 damage in the LoT and left arm! Woot! Monique is ordered to continue her scans while on the ground, extra OXP. =D
0242: The Guillotine gets up and shoots up Monique's mech. Eh the reward will pay the repair bill.
0247: Noir runs in and fires her triple flamers and 1 CLG. They all connect along with a right kick and punch. It's turning into a ballroom brawl out here.
0251: Poco files into the hex, firing off his dual CLGs, 1 hit in the LT. He follows up with a right punch and a left kick.
0253: Another salvo of flamethrowing from Noir, all 3 hit. The Guillotine is starting to look like a lobster on the damage display.
0257: Monique is still calmy scanning, this time makes a yellow scan.
0280: Noir fires the winning shot, 1 CLG beam into the enemy's LoT, disabling it. Winnage!

Spoils:
I was offered the Guillotine but took the 37K instead.
Poco raised rank to novice!
Salvage was 58K and payment was 200K, after deducting the upkeep of 92K and the repair bill of 75K, I made about 127K, bringing my squad budget up to 332K. Wewt. Time to buy Monique a proper titan and then head into battle once more.

You like it easy ? Pure plain small map against underweight enemy ?

It was a warmup round for some extra cash to buy a more suitable titan. And yes, I would prefer not to lose any profit just to show off. =) Here's the next fight, it'll be more interesting.

Team A: Mystic
Total Tonnage: 240
Average Rank: Veteran

Team B: Random
Total Tonnage: 240
Average Rank: Veteran

Map: Polar Small (Fog of War on)
River, Woods, and Hills set at 20% (Default)

0001: Starting off in the Southwest corner of the map behind a cluster of high hills.
0050: Monique spots a recon titan scurrying about in some woods to the northeast while jumping over a lake. A second later, another recon comes into view.
0056: And another recon...
0069: Two of the recons exit sight heading west, one heading southwest. Monique fails jump land check.
0081: Noir exits a narrow pass and emerges into more open ground. No sign of the recons Monique spotted earlier.
0095: Visual on one of the recons coming out of the woods, Noir begins lock and scan procedures. Poco enters the pass to back up Noir when the other recons decide to come out.
0114: All 3 recons are present and accounted for coming out of some woods. Noir is a little isolated though, so I tell her to wait up for the rest of her squad.
0117: First shot fired by a recon, miss.
0131: Poco exits the pass, begins lock and scan on another recon.
0148: Noir regains lock on the first recon (a Pack Hunter) after losing lock behind some light woods.
0164: Monique exits pass and begins to lock and scan the last recon titan, a Enigma.
0169: Monique fire some AC 12 shots at the Enigma. Noir closes range with the Pack Hunter, and Poco fails to get a scan on the Plasma Ball. (One of my own designs) Oh well, he manages a hit with both his CLGs.
0174: The recons fire back, missing everyone but Noir. She takes neglible damage.
0185: The fighting is starting to heat up, the recons have their back to a hill but are charging forward. I wonder where the other 100 tons of their squad is? Probably in airdrop. Noir manages a hit on the pack hunter while closing distance. Poco misses both his shots.
0188: The Plasma Ball switches targets to Noir and lasers her up a little. She passes the skill check when hit in the leg.
0201: The Pack Hunter closes distace with Noir and recieves a nice helping of triple flamethrowers, and a right and left punch. The kick misses, but she stays standing. Poco lasers up the Plasma Ball with both CLGs.
0208: The Pack Hunter misses a kick and crashes to the ground. Noir happily plants a CLG hit in the Cb Torso, followed by another triple helping of flamethrowers and a left punch.
0212: The Enigma switches targets to Noir as well and blasts her with missiles, causing foot acutor damage. Oh well, I don't think she'll be falling down anyways.
0214: Monique puts an AC 12 round into the Enigma's LoT from 4 hexes away. The Pack Hunter gets up and messes up Noir's heat reg with it's vibra claw.
0217: Darn, Poco misses a charge and fails the piloting skill check, he tumbles to the ground.
0223: Noir hits the Pack Hunter with dual CLG shots and Flamers, ripping off it's L arm and disabling it's LoT, 1 down, 2 to go. She turns and begins lock on the Plasma Ball. Poco gets up and pulls off a 100% hit rate, with both CGLs and punches, the Plasma Ball goes down momentarily.
0230: Pack Hunter pilot ejects, Plasma Ball gets up. Poco takes hits from the Plasma's large laser and both mediums.
0233: Monique puts some more lead into the Enigma, landing hits with a AC12 and a MG.
0243: The Enigma slaps some missiles on Poco's face, he takes some damage to his head, losing 21 HP, and one of his CGLs is damaged.
0250: Plasma Ball pilot ejects.
0253: Monique plants another shot on the Enigma's LoT with an AC 12, it goes down after shooting off some more missiles into Poco.
0259: Poco begins repairs on his damaged CLG, the rest of the squad watch out for enemy airdrops. The Enigma Pilot ejects.
0287: Poco successfully repairs his CLG! =D No sign of airdrops yet, Mystic is just chillin.
0292: Another recon? A Wasp is airdropped almost right behind Poco. Mystic quickly scrambles for locks.
0300: The squad has a lock on the pesky little titan and Noir gets a flamer shot off before it lands.
0305: Light Titan spotted airdropping, a Badger just 3 hexes away.
0316: Wasp lands, the Badger fires a salvo of missles at Monique, light damage when 1 SRM 8 hits. Poco messes the Wasp up a bit with a left punch and both CLGs.
0326: Noir gets into close combat range with the Wasp and takes it down with hits from all her weapons, followed by a left and right punch, and a right kick.
0328: Tha Badger lands.
0337: Poco and Monique continue to beat down the Wasp, and they tear off both of its legs. Locking on to the final target, the Badger.
0352: The Badger puts some SRM 8 rounds into Poco, he gets hit in the head some, and his HP is low. He's working on fixing up his medium damaged CLG.
0367: Monique pops some caps into the Badger, both AC 12s and MGs hit. Badger is only 2 hexes away. The end is near.
0369: The Badger gets some hits on Poco, ripping off his L arm and causing him to go down. Poor Poco is always getting into messes. But apparently Poco still had a lock on the Wasp, and fires off a CLG shot, ripping off it's head. +1 kills for Poco. =)
0370: Noir gets up close with the Badger, but misses all her shots.
0381: Poco locks onto the Badger and gets a hit on its LoT with his remaining CLG. He then starts to fix up his lightly damaged heat reg.
0390: Monique unloads both AC 12s and MG rounds right into the Badger.
0391: Ouch, Noir gets into CC range with the Badger, and it promptly takes her down with a barrage of SRM fire. She goes down with 1 leg. This doesn't stop her from getting hits with both her CLGs though, and she stays in the fight.
0405: Noir gets 2 more hits with her CLGs, 1 is damaged lightly by the Badger.
0407: Monique comes up in her Mauler. First things first, a soild chainsaw slice to the Left leg, and the Badger goes down, putting it at mercy of both AC 12s and MGs, plus a righht kick.
0409: Poco finished repairing his CLG and fires it, but misses.
0421: Noir lands 2 more hits, she's quite determined.
0423: The Badger gets up and destroys Noir's engine, I guess she'll just have to lay and watch.
0426: Monique powers into the Badger with both chainsaws, AC 12s and MGs. It stays upright though.
0432: Monique gets in 2 more MG shots, the Badger is returning fire, but the Mauler's armor is thick, having taken no previous battle damage.
0436: Monique lops off the right arm of the Badger with a chainsaw, and slices the LT with the other. A second later she gives a swift kick to the right torse, causing the SRM 8 ammo to explode. There goes half the Badger's firepower, it's RT is disabled.
0437: Poco fires the winning shot! While lying down, he hits the Badger's LoT from 2 spaces away and disables it.

Spoils:
Offered the Enigma, but took the 31k instead.
88k in salvage, 18k in bounty, and 125 k in payment.
Minus 102k in upkeep, and 151k in repairs...
I gained... 9k... bringing my squad budget up to 85k.
I'll post more AAR's after I do some money runs. =)

oh good, more people.  welcome.
nice to know I'm not the only one still playing.

Is it just me...

Every time I'm offered a Titan or Money, I take the titan. And then usually sell it for $$. I always get more from selling it than the money offered, so .... yeah. And sometimes, it's actually a good ToS that I'll repair and keep.
