Joined a West Marches Lancer server a while ago, and while I do love my main campaign very much, now I can really go out on the combat and its bringing me a lot of catharsis. The difference between having 3 players to having 5 is huge, as is being able to do a lot more coordination, pop off Core Powers, spread out normal and advanced moves, cover more terrain, and generally have more diverse arsenal.

The last sitrep had a Strider Ultra(3 activations), Avenger Elite, Arsonist Veteran, 1 Lurker, 1 Artillery. Reinforcements were 1 Lurker, 1 Witch(Turn 1), 1 Pyro, 1 guy that I don't know because it failed all attacks(Turn 3, I think). Last turn got another Witch and Artillery but we had enough movement to clear.

And despite our frontliners taking some heavy sniper shots at the beginning, we cleared it well enough to not take a single Structure or Stress. I've also been branching away from my usual frontliner Genghis play and trying support roles, and the Emperor feels amazing. Spreading out Overshields and essentially being an aggressive healer, with the occasional hacking, is a whiplash of a change of pace but also still very satisfying.

I'm glad I can focus on my normal characters, get all the roleplaying done and heal my soul for the week, then pop in a combat at another day and clean house to de-stress.
