4 contestants, 16 mechs. You kill a unit, you keep it. Your unit survives, you keep it. Kill the meat, save the metal. 1 mech repair bay behind CR6 walls to refill armor.
Results: PV-predicted outcome, but several interesting ad hoc lance compositions came into play, with speed generally dictating how lances were broken up. Game was halted in time for 4th place to retain their remaining 2 mechs.
Highlight: Axman boxcars the Wraith with a blade to the cockpit, earning second place from the kingmaker.
King Maker?
He borrowed a lance of painted mechs and couldn't give/take salvage like the rest of us could. His job was to attack the winning player.
Thank you! I've not heard the term.
