“It’s been 28 years since the Satellite War plunged the world into chaos. The great institution that was the International Forum is dead, and with it all dreams of peace and global solidarity. The Bi-Frost satellite network that once enabled large scale global communications lies shattered. The resulting orbital debris field has halted any plans of expansion into space.” “Now surviving nations leverage their remaining industry to fortify their fragile borders, petty warlords squabble over wastelands scarred by kinetic bombardment, the remnants of the IF’s elite peacekeepers haunt the battlefields like vengeful spirits, and over it all looms the threat of Neromius; empowered by a new generation of genetically engineered mega-cavalry and unrestricted by the sanctions of the IF; the rider-chiefs of its disparate tribes and city states sally forth into the broken world in search of spoils and glory.” ------------- The Neromian Warlord; Doruk Demir and his Iron Tide have made landfall on western side of the N.O.D.R, dragging the Miner’s Republic into a war they are ill suited to fight.

>cont... Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
>>5811812 Major Margus Zavrazin was 2IC of the N.O.D.R Army 17th Logistics Battalion. Once he had been a Lt. Colonel, in command of the Special Tactical Research Battalion; a formation he had practically built himself. The NOAF was seriously behind the times; its soldiers lacked training and much of its equipment was obsolete. The ruling committee were averse to modernisation, before the Satellite War they had relied on the IF to protect them and even now they trusted in trade sanctions and economic favours to deter their foes.
But economic power could only do so much, and Zavrazin knew that the Republic would have to develop a strong military deterrent if it was to survive the post IF era. And so he had gathered like minded personnel to form the STRB; a unit where forward thinking minds would experiment with new tactics and equipment to update the NOAF doctrine for the modern era.
Of course, all this required a large budget. Many of the generals were conservative and did not take kindly to all the new equipment costs eating into their pension plans. Zavrazin’s tight knit circle was also seen a political threat and the most paranoid even suspected him of planning a coup. So it was the generals found excuses to cut funding to the STRB. Eventually the unit was disbanded, Zavrazin was demoted and transferred to the 17th Logistics Battalion where he languished under the unambitious and frankly cowardly bean counter that was Varlam Kovalev. The generals must have known Kovalev was the perfect ball and chain for him; the man had no vision and cared only for maintaining comfort in his own little corner of the world. For a while Zavrazin had resigned himself to his fate, then the Neromians had invaded and all his concerns about the NOAF’s inadequacies had been proven right. Zavrazin wished it hadn’t taken the deaths of so many of his countrymen to get people to wake up but now even Kovalev couldn’t deny the gravity of the situation.
Speaking of the Colonel, he had recently Zavrazin summoned to the command centre. After the mercs had destroyed the jammer they had finally made contact with High Command back in the capital. Reports had been submitted and now the Colonel was awaiting further orders.
“Shit! Fuck, FUCKING…GOD DAMMIT!”
As he approached the door to the command centre Zavrazin heard a muffled cry of frustration come from within. Entering the room he saw Kovalev glaring at a piece of paper with a look of utter fury. The staff adjutants all stared at the Colonel apprehensively, unsure what to make of his certain outburst.
“Sir!” You made your presence known with a salute. “What did High Command say? Is the invasion worse than we expected?”
Kovalev turned his glare on you before collapsing into a nearby chair, a look of sheer emotional exhaustion overcoming him as he slid the paper across the strategic map towards you.
“See for yourself Major, see what I have to deal with.”
>Cont Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
>>5811814 Zavrazin picked up the paper and read its contents:
To: Colonel Varlam Kovalev, 17th Logistics Battalion
From: Nevik Operators Armed Forces High Command, Nakovalisk
You are hereby granted the rank of Brigadier General, and given command of all NOAF units in the western region. 17th Logistics Base has been re-designated as Regional Command, gather all remaining forces and resist the Neromian invasion. List of strategic objectives is as follows:..
It looked like High Command had basically entrusted Kovalev with repelling the invasion single handedly. They had also made no promise of reinforcements, sure they had alluded to sending back up but there were no concrete commitments. It was a tall order for any man, and even he would hesitate to trade places with Kovalev. Looking at his newly promoted CO the Major struggled to keep a straight face. One the one hand, there was a delicious irony in Kovalev getting promoted in the worst possible way, on the other you were both screwed.
-----------
>Main System switching to Quest Mode. You are Co-no <span class="mu-i">General</span> Varlam Kovalev, newly appointed theatre commander of the western side of NORD… which was almost completely occupied by the Neromians. Your second command had a strange look on his face as he read through the new orders. He was doing his best to keep his expression neutral but you could see the hint of a smirk on the edge of his mouth. Asshole was probably enjoying this; after all he was finally getting the action he craved, probably just waiting to lecture you about how he had been right about the NOAF’s lack of readiness all along.
“What are your orders sir?”
A short, simple response; fucker maintained his decorum if nothing else.
>Cont Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
>>5811816 “We need to consolidate the survivors of the initial invasion, secure the supply routes back to the capital, dig in and hold out for reinforcements.”
“And hand the enemy the initiative again?”
“I’m playing the long game Major. We solidify our lines and bring the full weight of our forces to bear. Our military may not be as well-equipped and trained, but this is <span class="mu-i">our</span> land, <span class="mu-i">our</span> home. Once the fighting spirit of the Republic has been awakened it is only a matter of time before we grind the Neromians into the dust.”
Zavrazin glanced at the strategic map apprehensively.
“With all due respect <span class="mu-i">general</span> you don’t seem to understand the enemy we face here. The Neromians are not some conscripts sent on a foreign misadventure by a distant leader. They aren’t grumbling about how they wish they could get this invasion over with so they can return to their loved ones back home; they’re fantasizing about building a comfy little house over our dead bodies, fucking our women, then telling their bastard grandkids about what a great time they had kicking our asses. In short: I’m pretty sure we’re not going to wear down their will to fight.”
So much for decorum…
“That’s a very defeatist attitude major.”
“I’m just giving the enemy the respect they are due. Make no mistake sir, I intend to win this war.”
“As do I, but since I clearly don’t grasp the gravity of the situation, what would you have us do?”
Zavrazin immediately started gesturing to the map.
“We need to secure the naval base at Zivograd, with it we cut off one of their supply routes and add one of our own. Furthermore the seas are the invasion’s lifeline; if we take the base, we give our own navy a stepping stone to strike at their supply lines, I’m sure you can get behind that.”
He pointed to another location.
“There is also the air base at Yagmur Plateau. Reports suggest Neromians are using carrier-based aircraft, so without local airfields their range will be reduced, plus it will give our own air force a place to move in and begin contesting the skies… oh and we can air lift more supplies, you like tho-”
“Yes, yes Major, I’m all about supplies, we get it.”
You look over the strategic map again and consider your options. Whatever course of action you chose would be a major operation and you only had enough troops to put one plan into motion.

>>5811821 >Secure a port (Gain a foothold for the Navy to challenge the Neromians at sea. Long term potential to seriously reduce Neromian threat level.) As much as I'd love air support, we are completely cut off from friendly lines. Securing a port will help us resupply and also cut off the supply of the Neromians, and make it much harder for them to continue their advance.

>>5811821 >Secure airfield As much as I glorify the footsloggers, the airfield is most likely our best bet. Air superiority wins wars, both by way of kinetic strikes and localized logistic support.

And frankly, I don't trust our navy to defeat them at sea without air support.

>>5811821 As much as I want us to deplete the Neromian naval supply lines, it looks a little like a bridge too far to me. Securing the airbase improves our situation while also worsening theirs.
I am wary of putting too much faith in air support however - helos drop like flies in mecha combat, and planes tend to provide limited tactical utility. Still, the strategic usefulness alone is worth it.
>Secure the airfield Graz !!/Grhq1ryPy7
>>5811979 >Secure a port (Gain a foothold for the Navy to challenge the Neromians at sea. Long term potential to seriously reduce Neromian threat level.) This is the most impactful and potentially war-winning thing we can do. Also, it's only a matter of time before the Neromians come for us hard, since they're wising up to how much of a threat we are. I say we do the most we can while we still have the freedom and the initiative to move around and pick our targets. Weathering the coming storm without reinforcements or air support is gonna be tough, but if the Neromians can just ship more and more forces in completely unimpeded, there's just no point, is there? They can crush us and beat the dinky miners' republic army through sheer numbers and attrition. If we degrade their supply situation enough, though, the attritional calculus shifts in our favor in the long term.

>>5812811 Maybe Zavrazin’s impulsiveness was rubbing off on you, but the more you thought about it, the more you felt that securing the airfield was the right idea. Assaulting Zivograd was just a bridge too far and even if you secured the overland supply route re-enforcements might come too late. If the Major was right, maybe you couldn’t afford to play the long game. You needed an advantage <span class="mu-i">now</span>.
At the end of the day the airfield was the obvious choice, it was closer, air power was more responsive and it was also a line of retreat… for certain high ranking officers anyway.
>Main System entering Skirmish Mode Wire Man: “Listen up everyone, our recent successes have bought the NOAF some breathing room. That means supply lines are open again. Our boss’s boss is being cagey about what kind of support they’ll be giving him, but I know some guys that can give us access to better gear. Some of you might have already gotten the chance to peruse the catalogue, and I bet a few of you have questions, so let’s start with the most obvious ones:”
“’Why do I have to pay money to unlock access to gear so I can pay even more money to buy the gear itself?’ I hear you ask. It’s not just about the gear, it’s about everything you need to use it: tech manuals so your support crews know how to mount and maintain it, spare parts, ammo shipments for the stuff the NOAF can’t supply. That unlock fee is for all the trouble the arms supplier must go through to get us these things. Gear is expensive and you’ll likely have to save up before you can start using the fancy stuff. Word of warning: the more expensive your final loadout the higher the maintenance fees. There’s a reason most people just use crocs and tegus when there are better models on the market: The good shit is <span class="mu-i">expensive</span> to maintain.”
“’If we can buy better gear can our employers do it too?’ In theory: yes, in practice: no. General Kovalev has to supply forces on a battalion level and up; the guys I know are independent dealers and smugglers, they don’t have the stock to kit out a national army. Besides there’s all sorts of regulations and treaties about arms dealing and our employer is probably already blowing all the cash he can spare on us.”

>>5812844 “If there’s anything I didn’t cover feel free to ask. Have fun shopping. Also, I’ve been told that <span class="mu-i">someone</span> doesn’t have a support crew. I don’t know how you’ve piloted, serviced and repaired your machine all by yourself until now but I really advise you to go talk to Zoric, the 17th Logistics Battalion has technicians to spare.”
>Equipment unlocks: new stuff is sold in sets. Paying the unlock price will add all items in the set to the arsenal where any player can purchase individual items from the set for themselves. Some sets are quite pricey and I encourage players to pool cash to buy the stuff everyone wants. Unlock prices do not have to be fully paid-up front, money can be put toward a specific package over time. Just remember: Money put towards unlocking a package cannot be refunded.
>Skills list has been reworked: Tanker skills have been reworked to be based on the commander action, artillery skills moved to the common skills pool, Missile guidance skills added to common pool, desant grenadiers reworked slightly. Some skills from the first campaign turn no longer exist. All players can get a free respec to compensate. (This does not count towards the 1 respec per campaign turn limit.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFCrFeno7lk&list=PL82E38BF253DC9251&index=24 The mercs were eventually called to a briefing presented by Chief Warrant Officer Zoric, as the briefing started an annotated map of the area of operations was put up on screen.
“Mercenaries, command has decided to capture a nearby airbase on the Yagmur plateau, you are offered a contract to participate in this capture operation; codenamed: Iron Sky.”
“The operation will consist of two phases; the first phase requires us to eliminate enemy units in the surrounding area to ensure complete control over the region once the airbase falls. The Neromians are known for their use of cavalry but they are quite capable of using modern technology when it suits them. Several of their artillery and electronic support tanks are stationed at the nearby town of Yagvosk. While it is possible to circumvent Yagvosk and attack the airbase directly, leaving these enemies at our backs is unacceptable.”
“The Neromains have also set up a long range SAM battery in the Yilma Valley. Taking the airbase is pointless while that battery is still active as it will shoot down any aerial reinforcements we try to bring over the mountain. Unfortunately we do not know the exact location of the SAMs so you’ll have to sweep the area and hunt them down. Unlike the jammer mission the vegetation is sparse and they’re all deployed on plateaus so finding them shouldn't be too hard.”
“Once phase 1 is complete all forces will converge on the airbase itself for phase 2; the actual capture of the base. If phase 1 goes smoothly they enemy should not be able to resist us. Phase 2 will also see our own aircraft flying in over the Midas Range to provide close air support for us. They do not have enough fuel for a return trip so they are depending on us to succeed in capturing the base.”
“One last thing: Intel has confirmed the presence of a heavy VTOL squadron parked at the airbase. During phase 1 they will almost certainly be scrambled to reinforce either Yagvosk or the Yilma Valley. Where they are sent, we cannot be certain, so expect to encounter them no matter which mission you participate in. That is all.”
>This campaign turn will have three missions: the two phase 1 missions happen simultaneously; players that deploy in one cannot deploy in the other. You do not have to commit to a specific mission right now but keep that in mind. All players can deploy for the final mission in phase 2. Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3

>>5815425 >Howitzer unlock approved. >No more spending on unlocks for now. Major Zavrazin: “Alright, let’s get to it. Your force has been tasked with assaulting the town of Yagvosk and eliminating the high value targets we believe are currently based there. I understand this is an urban assault mission so it will be bloody work. The town will almost certainly be riddled with entrenched infantry and the close quarters environment favours enemy mega cav. To help with this we will be sending in two platoons of mechanised infantry. One is an assault platoon mounted in IFVs while the other has been equipped with anti-air missile launchers. These formations will engage the enemy infantry and provide a means of countering the heavy VTOL squad should it show up.”
“The current plan is for the mercs to smash through the east side of the town, drawing away the enemy cavalry and heavy vehicles while our infantry sweeps through from the west, clearing out buildings as they go.”
“Expect a combination of neromian infantry armed with heavy weapons and supported by mega-cavalry. There’s also the HVTs themselves. While they are relatively weak in direct combat they are serious force multipliers. Their drones, sensors and indirect fire weapons will give the defenders a serious edge. You could mitigate this by using your own fire support and electronic warfare to supress these units where you find them, or just kill them quickly in a good old-fashioned blitzkrieg. I leave it to your discretion. That is all”

>>5817355 After taking a little walk and letting my brain cool down it occured to me that I made a few processing errors: Namely I forgot the mecha using defence focus and shields get 3 DR, not 2, I'll correct this in my master file.
Secondly I was inconsistent with the way I handled infantry: Unless they have have some stealth skills or are deliberately hiding (which these guys weren't) infantry should be visible within their buildings. With this in mind I was lenient with Mosin's actions, letting him fire into the fog without reserving an action.
Meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield Ikit would have almost certainly wiped out the infantry stationed there had he known they were present. So I've going to give a bit of compensation here:
>I1 and I2 can be considered destroyed. >2 damage Ikit took from the RPG attack has been rolled back. I wanna make some challenging scenarios for you but I also want to play by my own rules. Sorry about that.
>>5816624 Got inspired to write a little lore snipper <span class="mu-i">Since before mecha became a staple of modern warfare people have dreamed of mech based martial arts, but while most mech pilots are trained to bash targets in close quarters this is a seen as a crude attack of last resort. Attempts to make a mech fight as if it were a scaled up version of a human martial artist have all run into the same problem: Even if they are vaguely humanoid, a mech is not a person, it does not move like a person and the control system adds a layer of separation between intuitive human motion and actual mechanical action. This line of thinking approaches the problem from the wrong angle. To walk the path of the Metal Fist you must put aside any fantasies of making the mech an extension of yourself and instead pursue the reality of making yourself an extension of the mech.

>Hotfixes and clarifications: Posting the following based on discord discussion to make it official: All mech scale throwables (Demo charges etc...) should mechanically be <span class="mu-s">Variable Indirect Fire Weapons</span> with a minimum indirect fire range of 1. They're basically giant grenades, you can throw em straight or just toss em over a wall right next to you. (Not recommended due to blast radius.) The PDa drone won't be able intercept demo charges thrown at the large building from the other side of the building. Yes, usually ranges regarding buildings are measured to and from the buildings edges but in this case I'm using a combination of QM fiat and common sense (i.e. there is a huge building in the way of the point defence turret and the demo charge.) Hacking is an opposed role vs the targets E-War. Sorry the section in the rule book wasn't properly worded. Also man portable ATGMs are <span class="mu-s">variable indirect fire</span> weapons with a minimum range of 4. So they can still attack you if you get close. I'll make all the necessary corrections to the next iteration of the rules.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWJspgEotqU&list=PL021FCE912747136A&index=4 Wire man: “Settle down folks, briefing’s starting.”
“We’ve been tasked with eliminating a mobile SAM battery that’s been set up in the Yilma valley. In this mission or greatest enemy will be the terrain. The Yilma Valley has a certain type of geology which resulted in many disconnected plateaus spread across flat scrubland. The SAM sites are almost certainly deployed atop these plateaus but we don’t know which ones exactly. In short; you’ll be assaulting the high ground. The one piece of good news is that the plateaus are as hard to scale for the enemy as they are for us; strategic asset or no they’re not about to park a large garrison in essentially the middle of nowhere. Another thing to note is that the plateaus will <span class="mu-s">block sensor scans from the low ground</span> so don’t rely on those too much. I recommend <span class="mu-s">jump jets</span>, <span class="mu-s">indirect fire weapons</span> and other equipment that will help mitigate the terrain disadvantage. Once you get atop the plateau you should be able to engage the enemy on equal footing as well as having an advantage against any enemy reinforcements entering the AO.”
“In a battlefield like this the helicopter is king, even without the heavy VTOL QRF the neromians will have gunships patrolling the area. As such our employers are sending a pair of anti-air missile trucks. Now given that NODR is a technological backwater, these trucks with their sophisticated missiles and fire control radars are rare and expensive assets to the NOAF. Our employer would really, really appreciate it if we brought them back intact. Based on their specs they’ll shred aircraft at long range but are absolutely helpless against any ground units or flyers that get in their minimum range.”

>>5825297 Looks like you want an assault mech, but the cobra isn't built for that. It's made of paper and dreams, you know? Blows up if you look at it funny. Have you considered:
Crocodile (600), Jump Jets (150), Light Ablative (50), Frag Cannon (125), Rapid Fire FCS (75)?
Sure, it doesn't fill all the hardpoints, but the croc's got a few extra internal hull bits to soak critical damage even without reinforcement, more hp, and with only one weapon you don't need to use fire control focus to actually do damage, which means you can do evasion instead! 50% change to dodge attacks from the front. I'll even chip in 75 for a rapid rocket launcher, in case you get swarmed by cavalry up there. We jockeys gotta stick together after all!

It's just that deploying mid-mission can get a bit wonky.
However, after years of trial and error, we have perfected the art of making the maps run to about 6-7 turns. So we'll wrap this up, and then you'd be absolutely welcome going forward. It's one of the reasons for keeping deployment capped - it cycles in the 20-30 or so players who all want to pilot cool mechs.

Quoted By:
>>5833298 That's true. In that case, Mastodon will probably want to move farther forward to get a clear shot on C2. That initial plan was banking on HV2 being destroyed before he took his turn...

FoneCognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
Quoted By:
>>5833787 >>5833782 You need Practice of the Metal Fist to mech bash more than once per turn. The mech bash counts as a weapon and like every other weapon it can only be used once per turn.
You only have one mech bash "equipped". The number of limbs a mech has no bearing on this.
If I seem to have resolved more than one bash attack previously then it was a mistake, although in all previoys instances I'm pretty sure I've just ignored further attacks.

>Main System switching to Quest Mode... >... >Well, quest choice aside don't let it stop you from shopping and theory crafting. You are General Varlam Kovalev, and for once in many days you have received some good news: Operation Iron Sky is proceeding as planned. The town of Yagvosk had been taken and the SAM site in the Yilma Valley had been completely neutralised. NOAF forces in the region are poised to attack the airbase at Yagmur plateau. The atmosphere in the command centre had a frantic but cautiously optimistic undertone, however the operation’s most crucial phase had yet to begin. Major Zavrasin, your second in command and defacto adjutant entered the room carrying a pile of dossiers and set them down to the side of the main strategy map. “Intelligence reports on the enemy response to our attacks sir.” You grabbed a file and started skimming through it; recon photos, think-tank analysis, mission reports, all pointing to one thing. “They are consolidating their forces at the air field, and sending in their own aircraft to support the defences. Looks like they are predicted to arrive right at the same time as our own air cover. This will be an air battle as well as a ground one.” Zavrasin stared thoughtfully at the airfield on the strategy map, now surrounded by friendly unit markings. “How do you feel about the capabilities of our air force sir?” “High command understands the importance of this operation and have set aside a significant number of planes to cover us. I know the designs we use are a bit long in the tooth but I think their numerical superiority should make up for the technology short coming.” “So you reckon it will be an even fight all things considered?” “Well the neromian air force isn’t nearly as fearsome as their ground forces. Air power doesn’t mean shit without boots on the ground.” “True, but with boots on the ground air superiority can be a decisive factor. The order of battle for this upcoming fight is too… fair for my liking. We need an edge.”>cont

>>5837801 “We have the mercenaries, they have been instrumental in pushing the front despite their… idiosyncrasies.”
“I agree, so why not hire a few more to tip the scales in the sky?”
“Mercs are expensive Major, the current help is pricey enough as it is.”
“I said it before sir and I’ll say it again: you can afford it.”
You shot burning glare at Zavrasin who held it with the calm firmness of someone who knew they held the high ground. In the end it was you who broke eye contact first.
“Fine,” you say with a sigh. “If I’m going to gamble on mercenaries, I suppose I might as well go all in. Given that a bunch of wandering fighter pilots haven’t washed up on our door step. I don’t suppose you have any candidates in mind.”
Zavrasin hands you a dossier. “Actually, I do sir. I believe everyone in that file would make a solid choice, some more solid than others but I leave the final decision to you.”
You flip through the dossier, there were some… interesting characters out there to be sure. They all had some form of attitude problem but you couldn’t deny they were cut above the average NOAF pilot.

I need a bit more time to make the next mission. I hope to post the briefing by next Wednesday at the latest.
Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
Zavrazin: “This is it everyone, the final phase of Operation Iron Sky; the assault on Yagmur Airbase. In a few hours NOAF units in the surrounding area will launch a massive attack on the airbase. Your unit will spearhead the attack on the command centre where enemy resistance is heaviest. Expect dug in infantry supported by mega cavalry and vanguard units.” “High command has come through with some air support, but the neromians have scrambled their own planes to meet ours. Both groups should arrive over the battlefield shortly after the mission begins. Thanks to your destruction of the SAM site in the Yilma Valley our pilots can breathe a little easier, but the command centre is still protected by several short range air defence turrets which will threaten our ground attack aircraft should they attempt an air strike. The Neromians will also attempt airstrikes on our own forces should they gain the upper hand in the air. Unfortunately your fire control systems are not calibrated to engage fast moving aircraft strafing the battlefield so I’ve deployed the SPAAG platoon: Okchu to provide AA cover. I cannot stress this enough: your job is to secure victory on the ground. <span class="mu-s">Leave the air battle to the pilots and AA crews,</span> if you want to gain an edge; <span class="mu-s">eliminate the enemy AA turrets and protect your own AA units.</span>” “I won’t lie: once battle is joined it will rapidly devolve into a cluster fuck. Expect hostile units from other fronts to periodically wander into the AO. Do not lose sight of your primary objectives: the capture of the command centre and destruction of enemy high value targets. For the former we will be sending in a constant stream of mechanized infantry. Protect their transports until they can storm the building. We are prepared to commit as many men as it takes, however I would prefer those casualties be minimized.”>cont
Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
>>5847848 “You mercenaries have been instrumental in getting us this far. I am not too proud to admit our regular forces would have been able to achieve your level of success without severe casualties. As such I’m willing to dig deep for your support; in addition to Okchu platoon I am sending in a pair of salvaged cloudbursts that will control those point defence drones you captured in previous missions. Tech like that is a rare commodity in NODR and many of my other officers wanted them covering their advances. Finally, I’m making some of our engineering mecha available to you to provide field repairs. I’m betting a lot on you mercenaries; don’t disappoint me.”
Mission Parameters:
>Aircraft from both sides will arrive over the battlefield at the end of turn 2. >Allied Mechanized Infantry Units will spawn periodically with orders to assault the command centre. >Enemy units may wander onto the battlefield periodically, watch your flanks. Primary Objectives:
>Ensure at least 20 infantry units storm the command centre. >Eliminate any high value targets. (Your operator will mark them as they are encountered.) Secondary Objectives:
>Do not let more than 3 mechanised infantry squads be wiped out on their way to the command centre. (Casualties sustained after the command centre has been captured do not count.) >There is no deployment limit to this mission, but you may not use a reserve unit. >New equipment can no longer be unlocked, but you may still buy new gear. Cognis !!dRaoHSlU++3
>>5847854 Zavrazin: "Based on numerous mission reports and combat records our intel department have finally put together something regarding the cavalry units we've encountered thus far."

Having said all that, the team made to switch the weaponry on the tank quick as they could. Seemed like Hvy Autocannon was almost going to melt in the heat and all the rapid firing it did in the canyon. The Gun Launcher was moved up the line and was ready for this phase. A great door opener and clearer. Same with the Dozer Blade. A new addition to the team was the HMG which Parker would fire against groups of possible infantry.
"Alright team, lets get this party started. I want to be able to go on that date with the Dazzle girls and for that we'll need to buckle up buttercup. Lock in boys and girls. Lets finish this before Stross can start speaking again."
