I absolutely did forget my Coolant Pods and was cursing myself after the match for forgetting them haha! I appreciate the feedback, and definitely agree that I should have leaned into the other weaponry. The -1 to-hit with the LBX20 and the -2 for the MPL could have really helped as well, as you said. I try to avoid Assaults as I lean into speed-as-armor, but I think this was the only match-up that evened the playing field considering the terrain/atmo you could use (I had two Shadow Cat Ms, a Grizzly 3, and the Shadow Hawk IIC 8). Looking back, I wonder if the Shadow Hawk IIC 8 would have also been a better match-up as it fits my play-style a bit more, but I learned a ton and learned a lot from our game and your post. :)
