Easy way to defeat the Clans
      #152387 - 11/13/08 05:14 PM (207.160.205.13)

Ok, here's what you do: have your group and Clan group of equal number of personnel roll 1D10 off a cliff, highest die rolled wins. Use your edge points of your group to make the die rolled equal to 10. The more people you have, the more probable you'll win.

Ooh groovy, someone found the coin toss scene in Grave Covenant.

That only works if your opponent is willing to play that game, and guess what, most of the invading clans aren't.

From what I understand about Clan batchalls the person who initiatites the batchall declares the location whereas the opposing person declares the rules for the batchall. Thus when a Clanner shows up and initiatites a batchall he/she declares location and the opposing person (even if Inner Sphere/Periphery) declares the rules so that opposing person could declare the batchall to be dice rolling.

Kinda. Batchall's location & conditions are decided upon by the one that desires the duel, the other guy really only needs to say "yes". The other guy does decide where to land and begin, but the same goes for the other guy. Dice would never be used, however, as that corrupts the honor of single one-on-one duels.

Dice can be used. The person accepting the batchall challenge is entirely entitled to decide for dice to be used in that batchall.

Point of interest.... a coin toss was excepted but only on a backwater plannet and only cause the nova cats were 'giving' it to the SLDF....

Anywhere they actually put value into the planet or object there would HAVE to be combat of some form.

A more accurate contest would be some of the other trials they had, such as a drinking contest (no, I'm not joking), a football match, and a wrestling match. (note that these were on other worlds, with different units involved)

Combat is not necessary. I don't recall any batchall that requires the use of combat.

Maybe not but the contest would have to be much more then a trivial thing.... the more worth they put into something the harder the contest and the more people involved.
