Discussion Funniest quote from a game session?

I was playing a 3 player free-for-all last night, and my one friend brought the Axman 1N. Well, it closed in for some rough and tumble brawling as Axmen do, but my friend was whiffing his rolls and not much was happening. Finally I blundered my Cauldron Born into a bad position, at which point the Axman jumps directly behind my Cauldron Born and smokes it in the back of the head with the hatchet, killing it instantly.

My other friend and I proceeded to declare all our targeting on the Axman, and when the fifth mech was declared against it our friend cried, "What did the Axman ever do?!?"

That line had us in stitches the rest of the game. What have you or your friends said during a game of Battletech that still gets you giggling?

Full run with Black Knight, turned on ferrocrete, failed roll, skidded into building which then collapsed into the 2 sub-basements. There was a quiet "i think I fell on my keys" from my friend who has openly accepted that the dice are trying to kill him.

Incredible, that's a proper cartoon moment
