***************************** Proposed Codes for the Clan Snow Raven
1- We will treat all other warriors with the same respect that
we would like to receive from them. This goes for SR and non-SR members of
the GC ladder. Name calling, insults, and accusations will be handled in a
mature fashion and dealt with in the correct manner. Any warrior not
following this rule will be warned on 1st and 2nd offenses, demoted at 3rd.
Any problems within the game itself (cheaters, hackers, unhonorable
tactics.. etc....) should be brought to your superiors attention when
applicable.
2- All warriors in SR will fight a minimum of ten (10) wars a
month. All must be submitted to Yosho and the SR webpage in order to be
counted towards that total. If for any reason a warrior does not fulfill
this requirement, he/she must explain in an e-mail to the entire clan the
reasons for such failure. This is simply to notify the entire clan of
reason for inactivity and avoid T2Rex having to answer twenty questions
about why certain people have been lax in war efforts. A warrior who does
not follow this guideline will be warned on 1st offense and demoted each
subsequent offense until 3 have been reached. At the end of this period (4
months total) the offending warrior shall be removed from the roster.
3- Starting soon, SR will have weekly meetings and training
schedules. Attendance at one of the weekly meetings shall be mandatory in
order to discuss problems, mech designs, tactics, and upcoming khan wars.
All members of SR have an equal say and thus should input their comments
and questions at these meetings. We are trying to have 3 training evenings
and 2 scheduled meeting times per week so all may attend at their
convenience. There is no penalty for non attendance other than the fact
that you will have no say in votes, training, khan wars, and other SR
decisions that will be made. Needless to say, this does not reflect highly
upon your status within the clan.
4- No SR warrior under ANY circumstances shall knowingly use a
cheat or hacked mech. There is nothing more to say about this except that
we of old-school SR have spent a year building our reputation up as honest,
fair players and will accept no less from all other members. If enough
complaints and evidence are presented against an SR warrior to lead us to
believe cheating is evident that warrior shall be expelled immediately.
Note, however, this rule applies only to formal combat and warring. People
may, of course, use hacked mechs in play around games if they wish.
5- All SR warriors must follow the commands of their superiors
to the best of their abilities and judgments. They may, at any time, voice
their disapproval of his/her decisions in a way that still shows mutual
respect. Commands are almost never given within SR anyway, but if it comes
up please do your best to comply with the request. Respect is a large part
of this clan and please try to maintain it at all times. Not only to your
superior officers but to all clanmates.
6- Use of unhonorable tactics and strategies is frowned upon.
Unhonorable tactics include Hobbling (leaving an enemy mech far away on one
leg and then doubling up on the other), Missleboating (staying at 1000 away
and repeatedly firing LRM's at a slower mech), and Regenhanging (staying
near a regen point for the enemy and firing on them as they power up. In
this case, wait for opposing mechs to at least start moving before firing
upon them). Also, SR will NOT fight any 2 on 1 wars unless we are the 1.
No doubleteam wars are allowed for obvious reasons.(points!)
7- TOP's- Before any warrior may TOP for a higher position, they
must get the TOP sanctioned by 1 of the 5 highest ranking members of the
clan. It is possible for a TOP to be refused by the ranking officer due to
the challengers prior record within the clan. This does not apply to
entrance TOP's which must simply be reported to the sakhan or khan.
(Example= Tempest challenges Deathmask to a TOP and asks Razer to sanction
the fight. Razer notes that Tempest has not fought 10 wars in the last 2
months and has not been seen around much. Razer decides to not sanction
the battle based on these facts which are explained to Tempest in private.)
A two week waiting period must pass before the challenge may be re-issued
if the TOP request is denied by commanding officers. This complies with
the GC 2 week response period for TOP challenges.
8- All SR warriors must follow the Batchall process. Once we
agree to a war challenge a war MUST be fought. Regardless of terms or
class of the war presented to us we must still eventually war the
challenger. The best we can do is hope to agree on a class and terms or
fight C2 in default settings. (Ex= Clan Burrock challenges us to war. We
agree to fight them. They issue challenge in a class 3 war. We do not
like this and ask for a class 1 war. Neither of us can agree so we MUST
still fight in C2 which is the default.) You cannot simply dismiss the war
because you don't like the terms of it. You must agree on the settings and
class or fight C2 in the defaults. Many other clans are ignoring this but
SR will not be one of them.

July 4 1997 Nest News Vol.2 No.1
NEW CODES FOR SR AS OF JULY 1, 1997 AS PER KHAN T2REX AND SAKHAN RAZER
Snow Raven's Code
1- We will treat all other warriors with the same respect that we
would like to receive from them. This goes for SR and non-SR members of
the GC ladder. Name calling, insults, and accusations will be handled in a
mature fashion and dealt with in the correct manner. Any warrior not
following this rule will be warned on 1st and 2nd offenses, demoted at 3rd.
Any problems within the game itself (cheaters, hackers, unhonorable
tactics.. etc....) should be brought to your superiors attention when
applicable.
2- All warriors in SR will fight a minimum of eight (8) wars a
month. All must be submitted to Yosho and the SR webpage in order to be
counted towards that total. If for any reason a warrior does not fulfill
this requirement, he/she must explain in an e-mail to the entire clan the
reasons for such failure. This is simply to notify the entire clan of
reason for inactivity and avoid T2Rex having to answer twenty questions
about why certain people have been lax in war efforts. A warrior who does
not follow this guideline will be warned on 1st offense and demoted each
subsequent offense until 3 have been reached. At the end of this period (4
months total) the offending warrior shall be removed from the roster.
ALSO!!! As discussed at the meetings last week (6/23/97 and 6/25/97)
It has been decided that although a warrior must only fight 8 wars per
month, a warrior wishing a TOP to advance in rank must have fought at least
ten (10) wars the previous month in order to qualify for advancement.
3- Weekly meetings will be taking place on Sundays at 11 pm EST
and Thursdays at 12 midnight EST. Attendance at one of the weekly meetings
shall be mandatory to discuss problems, mech designs, tactics, and upcoming
khan wars 2E. All members of SR have an equal say and thus should input
their comments and questions at these meetings. If for some reason you are
unable to make these meeting times, please notify Razer, Deathmask, or
T2Rex as soon as possible so we may work something out. Training will be
taking place every night from about 10:30 pm EST to 12 midnight EST.
Either Deathmask, Wulfe, Sulli, or Razer should be around for any help you
might need at these times. Please feel free to add any input or
suggestions during these training sessions. Also, if any SR feels up to
training newer players, just show up at the aforementioned times and help
out the trainers. It would be appreciated greatly if we all help each
other to get better.
4- No SR warrior under ANY circumstances shall knowingly use a
cheat or hacked mech. There is nothing more to say about this except that
we of old-school SR have spent a year building our reputation up as honest,
fair players and will accept no less from all other members. If enough
complaints and evidence are presented against an SR warrior to lead us to
believe cheating is evident that warrior shall be expelled from SR
immediately.
5- All SR warriors must follow the commands of their superiors to
the best of their abilities and judgments. They may, at any time, voice
their disapproval of his/her decisions in a way that still shows mutual
respect. Commands are almost never given within SR anyway, but if it comes
up please do your best to comply with the request. Respect is a large part
of this clan and please try to maintain it at all times. Not only to your
superior officers but to all clanmates.
6- Use of unhonorable tactics and strategies is frowned upon.
Unhonorable tactics include Hobbling (leaving an enemy mech far away on one
leg and then doubling up on the other), Missleboating (staying at 1000 away
and repeatedly firing Lrms at a slower mech), and Regenhanging (staying
near a regen point for the enemy and firing on them as they power up. In
this case, wait for opposing mechs to at least start moving before firing
upon them). Also, SR will NOT fight any 2 on 1 wars unless we are the 1.
No doubleteam wars are allowed for obvious reasons.(points!) Warriors
choosing to use these aforementioned tactics shall not be penalized, but
will lose much respect in the eyes of their teammates and leaders. A fate
which I deem of much more importance than any punishment could hope to
achieve.
7- TOP's- Before any warrior may TOP for a higher position, they
must get the TOP sanctioned by 1 of the 5 highest ranking members of the
clan. It is possible for a TOP to be refused by the ranking officer due to
the challengers prior record within the clan. This does not apply to
entrance TOP's which must simply be reported to the sakhan or khan.
(Example= 3D Tempest challenges Deathmask to a TOP and asks Razer to
sanction the fight. Razer notes that Tempest has not fought 10 wars in the
last month and has not been seen around much. Razer decides to not
sanction the battle based on these facts which are explained to Tempest in
private.) A two week waiting period must pass before the challenge may be
re-issued if the TOP request is denied by commanding officers. This
complies with the GC 2 week response period for TOP challenges. Also, if
the warrior wishing a TOP has performed his 10 wars the previous month, he
may NOT be denied the chance for advancement and may simply notify his Star
leader of the upcoming TOP and its results. He does not have to get
sanctioning from the top 5 ranks.
8- All SR warriors must follow the Batchall process. Once we
agree to a war challenge a war MUST be fought. Regardless of terms or
class of the war presented to us we must still eventually war the
challenger. The best we can do is hope to agree on a class and terms or
fight C2 in default settings. (Ex= 3D Clan Burrock challenges us to war.
We agree to fight them. They issue challenge in a class 3 war. We do not
like this and ask for a class 1 war. Neither of us can agree so we MUST
still fight in C2 which is the default.) You cannot simply dismiss the war
because you don't like the terms of it. You must agree on the settings and
class or fight C2 in the defaults. Many other clans are ignoring this but
SR will not be one of them.
9- After much discussion on the topic, it has been decided that
each star in Clan Snowraven may choose a name for itself. This name must
be decided upon by the entire star and will be used in inter-clan war
tournaments which will be held once a month starting in August. The stars
comprising SR will war against each other in classes 1, 2, and 3. The
winning star in 2 out of 3 of these wars advances until only 1 star is
left. At this point, the winning star will receive a prefix to be worn
alongside the SR uniform and each member of the star will be mailed a
prize. (not e-mailed, I mean a REAL prize. Sorry, its a surprise, we wont
tell you what it is but it will be cool)
10- Lastly, each month will have a Most Valuable Warrior chosen by
the clan. The warrior chosen as such will receive a place on the upcoming
Hall of Heroes spot on the SR page, and will also get a SR T-shirt that is
currently being designed by Razer and Tempest. This will start as of
August 1, 1997. Note, however, that each warrior may only win the M.V.W.
award once a year. That way at least 12 people will get the goodies!! In
case of a tie in the vote for M.V.W. both warriors shall share the honors.
11- PLEASE!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CODE OF ALL!!!!!
A- Do your best.
B- Have fun doing it.
C- Let us know what we can do to help you with A and B.

Inter Clan Tournament
Sunday's and Thursday's meetings in part and in Whole dealt with the
Topic, InterClan Tournaments. The Idea of having Star vs Star in
competition in three class categories ( Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 ).
Clan Snow Raven has one command structure, then two binarys that have two
stars each. The 4 stars with five pilots each, including its highest rank,
Star Colonel. will Participate in the InterClan tournament held the First
Thursday of each month.
The match will go something like this, Following the instructions of
SR>Razer on whos is to fight who, and what missions, settings etc. two
pilots from each star will fight the Class 1 match, then another Two pilots
from each star will fight in another Class 1 match. a possible 3 matches
can be played during round 1. The Next round Class 2, mission, settings set
by SR>Razer. same procedure on to Round 3, same procedure. Scoring and
other information below:
1. Game during a round is won by standard war procedures scoring.
2. Each game won is worth one point to the winning Star.
3. A pilot can only pilot once per round. there are three rounds.
4. When a Star cannot field enough players to match numbers of
another star, two scenarios arise. first 1v2 games may result, or second
0v2 or 0v1 games may result. The second scenario gives the Star with more
pilots a default point.
5. The first three rounds, narrows the field to two Stars with the
most points. These Stars go into final three rounds.
6. after the final rounds the star with most points wins the
tournaments.
7. The Star winning the Tournament, will be showered with respect
for their competition, and are entitled to bragging rights for one month,
as well having special achievement badges on uniform.
8. Player(s) of winning star that did not make the match at all,
will not have the Uniform badge, but will have Bragging rights, for
supporting the Star during non-tournament times.
9. This Tournament is a Structured practice. It follows Snow Raven
Rule number 2 : To Have fun.
First Interclan Tournament takes Place August 3 1997. Note: Don't
forget your ideas for your stars name, one week left.
Interclan tournament details are still in formation stage, especially
the time for having a tournament, Thursday is tentative.

Star Commander 65 tons 200pts
1st Mechwarrior 55 tons 100pts
2nd Mechwarriors 35 tons 100pts
Points are used in an equation to figure amount of 'Honor Points'. Ex:
Clan A vs Clan B Clan A has a Nova Colonel 275pts and 2nd MW 100pts a
total of 375pts. Clan B has a Nova Captain 260pts and a Star Captain 215pts
a Total of 475 pts. The Winner of the War will receive 100% of the points
of the opponents amount (375 or 475pts). The Loser receives 33.3% of the
points of the opponents amount (375/3 or 475/3). These calculations are
done automatically when submitting War results to the GC.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mechs Classes : There are six (6) Classes in mech designs, but the
first three are the most important, for it is these classes that are ones
used during Wars between the Clans.
Class 1 : Energy Weapons only. (PPC, Laser and Flamers)
Class 2 : Stock Mechs (Any mech and its primary and Alternative
configs) No customization. * This is the Default if two warriors cannot
decide.
Class 3 : Choose a Stock mech to modify using old GC rules (stated
below)
1. The Warrior must not add Any projectile/ballistic/missile weapons or
ammunition to the stock mech. Note, MercNet's AMS is not considered a
weapon system (it is a defense system).
2. The Warrior may only use the projectile weapons and the ammunition
that is supplied with the stock mech.
3. The Warrior must not interchange on projectile weapon for another or
its ammo.

Meetings 8/3/97 - 8/7/97 consisted of Wars and general discussion.

********************* Batch Ball Procedures
Batchall procedures are a Clan tradition to minimize the loss due to
waste in war. Each Clan commander will bid their forces in a set order so
as to cut down on waste of man and machine.
The Batchall procedures to be followed by all Grand Council warriors are:
1. Determine if a war is to take place. This means that a clan will
challenge another to a war. No terms, or conditions may be attached to the
question of whether to war or not. Only the answer of yes or no need be
given. If the challenged clan gives a yes answer, then a war match must be
played. If the challenger backs out at any point past this, then they will
lose honor and face possible punishment.
2. Once a war challenge has been accepted, then the defender - the Clan
challenged must state their forces that will war.
3. After the defender names their players, the challenger must also do
the same and state which forces will represent them.
4. Once the forces for battle are set, then a place of battle is to be
determined. If no agreement is reached as to scenario and class of mechs,
then the default scenario and class 2 must be used.
5. From this point the war is played, with the strongest Clan winning.
This is the way of the Clans.

*************************** Level 3
You may have heard in a Game where the hosts says "This is a Level 3
game". Level 3 refers to what their league says is a Legal Mech Design.
Listed below in one such league, The @IS league. This is for your
information has no binding effect with GrandCouncil Mechs their design or
Class type. SR>NwsLtr Article.
@IS Legal Mechs :
All Techs are available now.
Missile
3 racks max for LRM (Arrow IV counts as long range), 4 racks max for
SSRM (SSRM
Inferno max of 2, or 5 racks max for SRM (SRM Inferno max of 2).
If mix then 2 LRM max and 2 SSRMISRM.
NARC does not count as missile but it has to follow the ammo rule.
I ton ammo per launcher. Only exception is Inferno which is 2 racks
max and I ton amn max.
Missile damage points can't exceed 1/2 of
tonnage.
LRM = I point per missile
SSRM = 2 points per missile
SRM = I points per missile
Inferno = 10 points per launcher
Arrow IV = 20 points per launcher
EX: Summoner = 70 tons = 3 5 damage points. Max I LRM20 and I LRM 1 5.
Max I ton LRM20 and I ton LRM 1 5 ammo.
EX: Executioner = 95 tons= 48 damage points. Max 2 Arrow IV and 2
SRM4. Max 2 ton Arrow IV and 2 tons SRM4.
Above rules does not apply to standard mechs.
Aero and tank can only have I JJ max. They can have unlimited
launchers except 2 intern launchers max, still I ton ammo per launcher and
I ton max for Inferno. Missile damage points can't exceed 1/2 of tonnage
applies.
@IS League @ www.ece.utexas.edu/~ychung/is.html
These Mech Designs reduce the amount of missiles in mechs mainly. In
Mercs the Missile Boat Mech one with 4 LRMs and multi ammo tonnage per
launcher was the average. These boats would just stand off and lock on
target and destroy the target. No fun these leagues have thought, thus
Level 3.
**************************** Tricks
Zero Fuel Jetting : Empty the fuel in your mech. Once empty tap the ' J '
key on keyboard at a speed of 3 times/sec. Your see what happens. This is
Legal to use during Wars. SR>Deathmask
Jets in Shut Down : Use the Directional jets for this one. While holding
forward Jets on, press ' S ' key on keyboard, shutting down mech. Continue
to hold jets on during shutdown. See what happens. The use of Shut down
jets is not legal for use in Wars. They add a new dimension for open games,
other players don't mind you using them. SR>Kntfst

Inter Clan Tournament : Re-written from previous SR>NwsLtr. ( SR>July 11
1997)
********************* Inter Clan Tournament
Sunday's and Thursday's meetings in part and in Whole dealt with the
Topic, InterClan Tournaments. The Idea of having Star vs Star in
competition in three class categories ( Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 ).
Clan Snow Raven has one command structure, then two binarys that have two
stars each. The 4 stars with five pilots each, including its highest rank,
Star Colonel. will Participate in the InterClan tournament held the First
Thursday of each month.
The match will go something like this, Following the instructions of
SR>Razer on whos is to fight who, and what missions, settings etc. two
pilots from each star will fight the Class 1 match, then another Two pilots
from each star will fight in another Class 1 match. a possible 3 matches
can be played during round 1. The Next round Class 2, mission, settings set
by SR>Razer. same procedure on to Round 3, same procedure. Scoring and
other information below:
1. Game during a round is won by standard war procedures scoring.
2. Each game won is worth one point to the winning Star.
3. A pilot can only pilot once per round. there are three rounds.
4. When a Star cannot field enough players to match numbers of
another star, two scenarios arise. first 1v2 games may result, or second
0v2 or 0v1 games may result. The second scenario gives the Star with more
pilots a default point.
5. The first three rounds, narrows the field to two Stars with the
most points. These Stars go into final three rounds.
6. after the final rounds the star with most points wins the
tournaments.
7. The Star winning the Tournament, will be showered with respect
for their competition, and are entitled to bragging rights for one month,
as well having special achievement badges on uniform.
8. Player(s) of winning star that did not make the match at all,
will not have the Uniform badge, but will have Bragging rights, for
supporting the Star during non-tournament times.
9. This Tournament is a Structured practice. It follows Snow Raven
Rule number 2 : To Have fun.
First Interclan Tournament takes Place August 3 1997. Note: Don't
forget your ideas for your stars name, one week left.
Interclan tournament details are still in formation stage, especially
the time for having a tournament, Thursday is tentative.

************************** Battle Codes
(official make a copy to refer to during wars)
The purpose of these codes is to provide a means of quickly communicating
with your starmate.
The codes are as follows:

1 - Switch, change opponents ,can be used for Bag , or for situations where
you cannot hurt an opponent(sometimes your starmate has a better connect to
that warrior)
2 - Watch yourself, watch your back or head (DFA),this code means you are
usually being double teamed and should take some sort of evasive action.
3 - Double team my target.
4 - Double team your target.
5 - Stay away, avoid contact / run away, to be used when one warrior is
about to die and don't want the starmate to burn his jets trying to get to
his aid only to get double teamed when he dies. Another example is during a
war the score is 9-8 SR favor, your starmate is damaged and you have just
regenned, both enemies are damaged ,you tell starmate "5" to deny them the
tying kill and go get the last kill to win 10 - 8.
6 - Come to me.
7 - reserved for future use.
8 - reserved for future use.
9 - reserved for future use.
0 - cancel

If you have any questions regarding these codes or would like to suggest
others contact me or bring it up at any SR meeting.

****************************** Codes and rules
Clan Snow Raven codes with its eleven sections. (
http://www.webspan.net/~wulfe/ ) have all you need to know about clan Snow
raven. There are few codes that are most commonly not followed, and results
in dismissals from SR. Also a couple rules that are not listed in the codes
but still are important.
Code that gets SR>Pilots in trouble most often are : Section 2 (Minimum
wars) and Section 3 (Meetings).
Extra Rules :
1. Put Rank in realname area in Kali.
2.. Check GC ( http://www.grandcouncil.com/ ) before getting on Kali
for current Rank.
3. After completing War check with wing who is going to submit to GC.
4. Follow Batchball procedures, Default Class 2 clan Wars.
5. Attendance at a Practice session will count as a war fought (max 1
per week).
6. All warriors must attend 1 meeting per week, or get transcript of
it ASAP.
**************************** KHAN WAR
It is the Honor and Responsibility of the KHAN to declare war on
another clan and arrange TWO games against the warring clan.
A Khan may only declare two Khan wars against other clans within a
calendar month. This means that only 4 Khan war matches -- two for each of
the Khan wars declared may be submitted. Any Clan found breaking this bond
shall be dealt with in extreme measures indeed.
The KHAN will want to choose his best warriors to represent the clan,
but no warrior may fight in both battles.
These KHAN wars are scored the same as all other clan confrontations
except the winner receives an additional 1000 honor pts.
The 1000 points is not counted when tallying up the losers points.
The loser takes 1/3 of the opponents Honor points not including the bonus.

pre-lesson information that is necessary.
2. Instructors can post minor article on any subject matter here. Larger
articles get their own section of news letter.
3. Notices a Cadet Recruiter wants Clan to be aware of.
4. The War Count Counter post minor info here. Major war count desires its
own section in newsletter.
This section is for your use, use it. I see with the
assignments everyone has, as Tools. Tools have special purposes. Start your

Trial of Grievance
A Trial of Grievance is a way for two warriors of any clan to test
their skills in battle. As each cadet joins the Grand Council he is
automatically put in the Waiting Arena with 0 honor points. If you are in
the Waiting arena you must fight someone also in the Waiting arena to get
out.
All scenario information must be negotiated by the two warriors
and if they cannot agree they must use the default configuration.
The Trial of Grievance is a battle fought until one player has 5
kills. Negative kills will be factored into the score keeping. If you had
4 kills on your and you hit a mine/overheated you now should have 3 kills
on your @ and now need 2 more kills to win. Many times packets will also
be lost when killing an opponent causing a warrior to not get credit for a
kill, although this is unfortunate you must continue until one person has 5
kills on their @.
The winner of the battle then receives 100 points adjusted by a
weight bonus/penalty. The loser's honor point total is reduced by the
amount the winner gains. Any Warrior that loses enough honor points so
that they have LESS than 0 points shall be returned to the Waiting Arena.
The weight bonus/penalty is determined by calculating the difference
in the weights used by the two opponents. If the winner used a lighter
weight mech, there will be a bonus equal to the difference in tons. I
point bonus for every ton difference. If the winner used a heavier mech,
there will be a weight penalty, calculated the same way as the bonus,
except that it is subtracted from the 100 point base.
Any warrior found avoiding communications (Email) of a challenge
should be reported to the The Grand Council and will have a chance to
explain their dishonorable conduct before exile.
Challenges made over KALI that are not accepted are not grounds for
action. If someone avoids a challenge on KALI then email them and make it
official. Save all occurances of the mail, including any replies, as you
may be asked to provide them as proof of avoidance.
Surrender is not an option.
A tie voids the ToG match (not counted). A tie is when the score is
I 0- IO.
If someone is disconnected while in a match they may choose to
finish the match with the same mechs and score when they left, or not
counted but it will not be requiered for the challenged warrior to accept
another match from the challenging warrior who left the match for 2 weeks.
If it was the challenged who got
dissconected he MUST continue the match with the score as it was
when he was disconnected. only the challenger can call off the match.
All Trials of Grievance MUST be accepted in the order that they are
received. Retrying a Trial of Grievance (rematch) shall be delayed for no
more than two weeks.
Any dishonorable conduct of warriors should be reported to their
KHAN and The Grand Council

Listed below from raw data, are 27 mech stats. Mechs Heat sinks, Jump
Jets, Armor and weapons are displayed. Placements of Weapons are displayed.
It is your job to review the stats and determine what mechs are best for
Class 2 and Class 3. Remember your choices, Test them out in open games or
practice. Some I can tell you look good for C2 but in reality you'll loss
primary weapons early in game. Yon could make some sort of Chart and
distribute amongst Snow Raven Pilots showing best choices. Mech Stats are
available for the entire MechWarrior II Primary and Alternative

*************************** Mech Garage
In the pursuit to interest Snow Raven's to write in and post
articles. This is latest attempt. This News Letter is send to every
active Snow Raven on Friday afternoon each week. This is your chance to
help others with your expertise in Mech Design.
Weapons systesms : Class 1 (Energy Weapons)
Mech : 50 - 60 tons Nova, StormCrow, Mad Dog
Weapons : ( 2 ER Medium - (4-6) ER Small Lasers ) Group
Fire.
Mediums placed in Leg criticals. Smalls in Torso
and head criticals.
Heat Sinks : 44 + double heat sinks (Torso criticals)
Tactical : This Combination of lasers will have lethal power on
any size mech. Its rate of fire is average. In group fire, lasers run on
cool side. Range is ideal for most Class 1 encounters.
Comment : Through discovery came across this laser
combination. When used with a Mad Dog in open games. I found that Medium
and Large Mechs are easily destroyed. Small mechs didn't stand a chance.
Best Bang for you Heat Buck.

****************************** Battle Codes
(official make a copy to refer to during wars)
The purpose of these codes is to provide a means of quickly communicating
with your starmate.
The codes are as follows:
1 - Switch, change opponents ,can be used for Bag , or for situations
where you cannot hurt an opponent(sometimes your starmate has a better
connect to that warrior)
2 - Watch yourself, watch your back or head (DFA),this code means you are
usually being double teamed and should take some sort of evasive action.
3 - Double team my target.
4 - Double team your target.
5 - Stay away, avoid contact / run away, to be used when one warrior is
about to die and don't want the starmate to burn his jets trying to get
to his aid only to get double teamed when he dies. Another example is
during a war the score is 9-8 SR favor, your starmate is damaged and you
have just regenned, both enemies are damaged ,you tell starmate "5" to
deny them the tying kill and go get the last kill to win 10 - 8.
6 - Come to me.
7 - reserved for future use.
8 - reserved for future use.
9 - reserved for future use.

************************** Batchball Procedure
Batchall procedures are a Clan tradition to minimize the loss due to
waste in war. Each Clan commander will bid their forces in a set order
so as to cut down on waste of man and machine.
The Batchall procedures to be followed by all Grand Council warriors
are:
1. Determine if a war is to take place. This means that a clan
will challenge another to a war. No terms, or conditions may be attached
to the question of whether to war or not. Only the answer of yes or no
need be given. If the challenged clan gives a yes answer, then a war
match must be played. If the challenger backs out at any point past
this, then they will lose honor and face possible punishment.
2. Once a war challenge has been accepted, then the defender - the
Clan challenged must state their forces that will war.
3. After the defender names their players, the challenger must
also do the same and state which forces will represent them.
4. Once the forces for battle are set, then a place of battle is
to be determined. If no agreement is reached as to scenario and class of
mechs, then the default scenario and class 2 must be used.
5. From this point the war is played, with the strongest
Clan winning.
This is the way of the Clans.
------- Default : ------
All warriors and clans must negotiate of their own free will the
program that will be used (Mech95, DOS Netmech or Mercenaries), a
Scenario and all supplementary information for each game. If an
agreement is not reached they must fight using the default information.
The Following is the default Scenario information:
I . Program: DOS Netmech
2. Scenario: Graus-Ice Caverns
3. Regeneration ON
4. Unlimited Ammo OFF
5. Heat Tracking ON
6. Splash Damage ON
7. Collision Damage ON
8. Radar +Auto Targeting ON
9. Weight Limit (see Weight Restrictions)
10. Gravity 1. 0
11. Time of Day: Day
12. Temperature: Normal
13. Class 2: Stock Mechs (no customization)

Hellbringer Class 1, 60 tons mech.
56 Heat Sinks (26 double) (Torso/Leg/Arm cnf.)
5 ER Laser (Medium) (Head/Torso cnf.)

5 JumpJets (Torso cnf.)
cnf. = configuration,
-------- Performance :-------
Maneuverability : Avg. - fast speeds. Jets are maxed for prolong hang
time.
Weapons : 5ML moderate power, cool running. Stay the distance from
small lasers and pound away. Rate of fire is slow. *** Lethal Battle
Winner ***
Heat Management : Group fire (5ML) cool. Chain fire (1ML/.33sec)
Cold.
Armor : Endo internal and Standard armor. 35% armor percentage
100xBack/Front.
Survivability : Weapons configured to (Weapon to Heat sink) Maintains
group fire coolness. Losses of torso areas loss of Medium/HSnk/Jets.
Rating, (**** Jets) (***** Heat Managed) (*** Weapons) survivability.
Design notes : Jump Jets are not placed on legs. they are all in
the torso. they are very important I think. If your mech lose a leg - the
only thing you can do is to use jumpjets, but what if they were in that
leg ? I hope you understand me. SR>EvilBart
** Battle Proven ** : You just keep distance from you opponent using
jumpjets like 350-450m you can kill him easily if he has small lasers -
they would be useless for him. Mechs of similar size 4 : 1 kill ratios
reported.

Featured Mech : Type : Class 1 Mech : Timber Wolf

Name : Angelfire-Xcld 2Q-Inc.
Designer : SR>2Quick Rank : Galaxy Commander Clan Snow Raven
Stats : Engine 375 XL - Jets 4 (srv torso/leg)
Heat sinks (30dbl 60ttl -Torso/arm)
Weapons (2 Mplas & 4 ERMed lasers) (srv torso/leg)
Armor 62%F|38%B Intnl=endo-s armor=std L/R
arm at 50%
Design Objective : One of my Favorites..... Based on one of first
designs for c1 timbers. SR>2Quick
Performance : When grouping weapons, 2Mplas in first and 3ERmed in
second group. This mech will run on cool to average heat. Has quick cool
down rate while mech retains all its heat sinks. After loss of arms Mech
runs group weapons a high to average heat build up, cool down rate is slow.
Rate of fire is 'fast' when using the Mplas, good when close in.
Mech maneuvering is good to every good. The jets survive in the 'Red
Suit', with just the right amount of hang time. Its a Big mech sluggish to
take flight. Good on ground speed.

Stats : Engine 375 XL - Jets 5 (LR torso)

Weapons (5 ERMedium lasers) (LR torso/head)
Armor 75%F|25%B Intnl=endo-s armor=std armor
@ 100%
Design Objective : This mech has one good thing - lasers range.
SR>EvilBart
Performance : This Mech impressed me, five medium lasers not much
you say. But it will surely get kills easier then mechs with more lasers.
Reason 60 heat sinks and group fire. Design of mech definitely has Heat
management designed into it. Heatsink and weapon tied together, loss of
heatsink, loss of weapon. Mech will maintain coolness.
Mech maneuvering is very good. Mech will take to air and stay
there. No compromising engine for weight.
Survivability : Mech is tough, takes allot to get to the Internal
Endo-S then takes more, before red. Endo-s is better then Ferrous for
laser fire. Ferrous better for missiles, Both are better then Standard
armor. On torso red, loss of two ERmed, loss of both LR torso your left
with one remaining Medium ER, loss of all jets. By that time, thats all
she wrote, anyhow. note: Front to Back armor ratio, 3:1 don't turn your
back, but excellent for Class 1.

********************************* Battle Codes
(official copy)
The purpose of these codes is to provide a means of quickly communicating
with your starmate.
The codes are as follows:
1 - Switch, change opponents ,can be used for Bag , or for situations where
you cannot hurt an opponent(sometimes your starmate has a better connect to
that warrior)
2 - Watch yourself, watch your back or head (DFA),this code means you are
usually being double teamed and should take some sort of evasive action.
3 - Double team my target.
4 - Double team your target.
5 - Stay away, avoid contact / run away, to be used when one warrior is
about to die and don't want the starmate to burn his jets trying to get to
his aid only to get double teamed when he dies. Another example is during a
war the score is 9-8 SR favor, your starmate is damaged and you have just
regenned, both enemies are damaged ,you tell starmate "5" to deny them the
tying kill and go get the last kill to win 10 - 8.

Meets : SR>Judgedoom, SR>Spinner idea of Snow Raven Meeting this Saturday
*****************************Light Mechs
All light Mechs have this in common: They live and die by speed.
Yet a light 'Mech running at top speed can hardly turn at all, and turning
is essential if you want to avoid shots. You can slow down to turn, but a
light 'Mech at low speeds will be pulverized in moments. The skill comes
in striking a fine balance, moving quickly but unpredictably, slowing only
for a second to turn and then dashing away again. This is even harder than
it sounds, and it takes a dedicated warrior to master the technique. As
always, practice makes perfect.
Learning to handle speed is only part of the trick to piloting a
light Mech. They also have difficulty landing knockout blows. Many Mech
pilots, deal with tough situations by eliminating enemies as quickly and
efficiently as possible. An AC-20 shot here, five PPC blasts there ....
this kind of concentrated firepower can maim or destroy enemy units,
simplifying your battles immensely. Unfortunately, a light 'Mech is hard
pressed to handle a single PPC, much less five of them. Light 'Mech pilots
must be content to poke and prod their way to victory, slowly chipping away
at armor levels until they finally break through.( re-printed from MW2
Strategy guide )

***************************** Battle Codes
(official copy) amended
SR>Spinner has added to Battle codes #7 : #7 was reserved for future use.
Battle Code #7 :Wanted to add a new battle code, number 7.

There are times, especially in the Default C2 Graus, that you and your
wing will find that your opponents are legging one pilot and leaving
him. Allowing them to pick on the other pilot. The usual counter is
to not regen the other pilot until the legged pilot is killed.
Currently we have to express this on an open channel, "Do not regen".

I would like to make battle code 7, "Do not regen."

The purpose of these codes is to provide a means of quickly communicating
with your starmate.
The codes are as follows:
1 - Switch, change opponents ,can be used for Bag , or for situations where
you cannot hurt an opponent(sometimes your starmate has a better connect to
that warrior)
2 - Watch yourself, watch your back or head (DFA),this code means you are
usually being double teamed and should take some sort of evasive action.
3 - Double team my target.
4 - Double team your target.
5 - Stay away, avoid contact / run away, to be used when one warrior is
about to die and don't want the starmate to burn his jets trying to get to
his aid only to get double teamed when he dies. Another example is during a
war the score is 9-8 SR favor, your starmate is damaged and you have just
regenned, both enemies are damaged ,you tell starmate "5" to deny them the
tying kill and go get the last kill to win 10 - 8.
6 - Come to me.
7 - Do not Regen : Usually lasting until wing is destroyed. Used during
times when opponents are leaving mechs disabled, to concentrate on other
mech.
8 - reserved for future use.

Name : C1 Wulfin C1
Designer : SR>Spinner Rank : Khan Clan Snow Raven
Stats : Engine 375 XL - Jets 5 (LCR torso)
Heat sinks (28dbl 56ttl -LR,Torso/arm)
Weapons (4 ERMed - 4 ERSml - SmPul. lasers) (LCR
torso/head/leg)
Armor 70%F|30%B Intnl=endo-s armor=std armor @
100%
Design Objective : Best Maneuvering, Fast Kill, Survivability,
Work horse mech: SR>Spinner
Performance : Solid mech Design, with killer weapons. Group all
minus one laser to keep heat down little. But Using one group was
acceptable. Fast kills you can one volley a med mech to destruction before
in one sustained attack. Then cool down looking for next target. Heat is
Average but watch it will get ahead at times. Weapon to Hink Sink
management is used in design.
Maneuvering : Is Excellent. The engine is not downgraded and has
maxed Jets. With speeds up to 100 kph in 1 g. Hang air time of 1 minute
plus. 5jets in a TW are worth the extra 1 ton.
Survivability : Mech is tough, takes allot to get to the Internal
Endo-S then takes more, before red. With an armor ratio on torsos of
70%f/30%b. Can take some hits on the back. Best mech tested for double
teaming situations. Trouble with Jets loss when torsos are red, by that
time thats all she wrote anyhow. Weapons loss with Heatsinks are expected,
but Weapons Survivability is built in, You'll be blasting away to the end.
Ratings : Design (******) Weapons (*******) Jets (****) Heat
(****) Armor (*****) max rate(*****) Mek file (Download)
Use : Group all but one laser. be ready to add weapon when a weapon
is lost. Although group everything does well, less prolonged fire, not too
much tho. This is work horse mech design, means good mech to use in all C1
situations.
Please send me any comments or suggestions or
questions.......SR>Spinner

************************** Medium Mechs
So light 'Mech are good scouts, and heavy 'Mechs, are great
fighters; but what's the advantage of medium 'Mechs?
In a word, versatility. Many of your missions will involve both
combat and scouting, so knowing your way around a medium 'Mech is
invaluable. Nova, the Stormcrow, and the Mad Dog, the three medium 'Mech in
the MechWarrior 2 lineup.
Medium 'Mechs: Chameleons on the Battlefield
Medium 'Mech are exciting machines in many respects. They're light
enough to move quickly (sometimes as quickly as a light 'Mech) but heavy
enough to engage even the brawniest opponents and have at least a fighting
chance of winning. Medium 'Mechs allow you a lot or scope for
customization: They're big enough to support the heaviest weapons systems,
although not without squeezing a bit.
In addition to their versatility, medium 'Mechs are very efficient.
With heavy 'Mechs you must devote a lot of space to engines if you want to
achieve decent speeds. Light 'Mechs have a different problem - they only
require small engines but don't have the tonnage to mount much weaponry or
equipment. Medium 'Mechs strike a fine balance between these extremes, ans
as a result there is very little waste. (source : MechWarrior 2 Strategy
guide)
Medium Mechs : Nova 50 tons - StormCrow 55 tons - Mad Dog 60
tons
************************* Mech Garage
Featured Mech : Type : Class 1 Mech : Riffleman
IIC
Name : C1 I hate flying things
Designer : SR>Kntfst Rank : Nova Commander Clan Snow Raven
Stats : Engine 325 XL - Jets 5 (CR torso/LR leg)
Heat sinks (26dbl 52ttl -LR Torso/LR arm)
Weapons (3 S.pulse - 6 ERsm lasers) (LCR
torso/head/LR/leg/LR arm)
Armor 75%F|25%B Intnl=endo-s armor=std armor @
100%
Design Objective : Very Fast rate of fire, Maneuverable mech.
SR>Kntfst
Performance : Good short range mech, plenty of kill power.
Designed mainly for shooting down a flying mech, accomplishes it by running
Small Pulse,ERsmall lasers. Sustained fire are cool to average heat. Any
enemy mech within 150 meters are fair game for a brusin.
Maneuvering : Is as good as riffleman get. Engine not downgraded and
maxed jets makes this mech a hard one to stay away from.
Survivability : Mech is tough, takes allot to get to the Internal
Endo-S then takes more, before red. With an armor ratio on torsos of
75%f/25%b is classic C1 don't have back turned too much. Jets are
configured in survival positions, you'll have jets till the end. Arms have
many heat sinks and some weapons, loss of arm will reduce weapon heat load
with corresponding heats sinks. Still heat is increased.
Ratings : Design (****) Weapons (****) Jets (****) Heat (****)
Armor (*****) max rate(*****) Mek file (Download)
Use : Group all lasers. Use when you know a opponent is a flyer.
Also good choice for fast moving light mechs. Because of reduced weapons
range not first choice for general C1 Mech. Hint: when targeting flying
mechs. MechWarrior has another Lag flook, A Airborne mech, You aim above
the mech inorder to get hits (1/2 mech height). You also have to lead
little more for a drifting mech at same ground speed. and even more for a
drifting mech at higher then ground speeds. So you'll be aiming
near&outside the top corner of targeting box. Takes allot of practice.
Tester : SR>Kntfst (Mech File attached)
Please send me any comments or suggestions or questions.......SR>Kntfst
Mech Designs wanted. All mechs from Kitfox to Direwolfs. any class type.
Stormcrows are highly requested. More then one featured mech is ok.
