I had a game where the a teammate Kodiak went too far ahead to attack the enemy flank with one or two lights. He got killed then shouted on the channel complaining about where is his team support.

He was one of only three casualties our team suffered as we rolled over the enemy.

So, he split the enemy's attention and lead to victory... But didn't know it and accused you of letting him die...

Gotta say, I have been in his shoes before ;-)

Not exactly. He died too early in the game, and the enemy team had more than enough time to regroup. I would rather have him stay with the assaults so the assaults could guarantee cover with each other and allow the faster mechs to skirmish the flanks.

Well, you did "roll over the enemy" right? Might not have been as easy without his folly raid....

He was too far ahead of the main group --- even from the rest of his assault lance which kept together --- and supporting him would have thinned us out, and subjected us to sniping. This was Frozen City. After that, we had a sniping exchange followed by mid range skirmishes before turning into an all out brawl. If he had made the right choice, it would be 12 to 2 or 1, instead of 12 to 3. As it turns out, supporting the rest of the main assault lance was a much better decision.

Wait, does Steiner have access to Scout Kodiaks?

Fool. Atlas DDC is equipped with ECM. It is a natural-born scout.

Kodiaks smell like wet bear. You can detect them far in advance when you're downwind.

When does that happen? Other than going for the center or theta, its a poke-fest anymore.

It happens sometimes.

Had a match earlier, Conquest Plexus. Our AS7-D said he was a fighter but needed people with him so I tried keeping the MPL Thunderbolt nearby.
Enemy had rushed Kappa then covered Theta from around E6/F6 area. Our Atlas and Kodiak pushed in with a few people including me. I shot at their guy on Theta then just pushed into the side of the E6/F6 area and sat near the crest harassing them with MPLs, they ignored me for a while so that helped.
Just got crazy at that point as the Atlas and Kodaik with support pushed right into them, we had a chaotic brawl in that area.

Think I got video of it, have to look when the event is over at all the vids I got.

I put up the video of the match I mentioned in this post.
For those who wonder:
- if pushing with Assaults is worth it
- how to use a pure brawler Mech.

I have had some success with a Dire Wolf Prime set up as follows:
2 Gauss Rifles (3 tons ammo)
2 Lg Pulse lasers
6 ER Sm lasers
SSRM6 (1 ton ammo)

I can snipe early when I'm closing, and only get deadlier as I close distance, only problem is that It is only really effective so long as my team mates are giving me support, and not doing stupid **** like charging into my line of fire.
