((Welcome to the Mecha Mercs Skirmish Campaign.

This is a tactical turn based collective game where each player takes on the role of a mech pilot. As the campaign progresses the players will accumulate a supply of resources which can be used to build up a persistent pool of mechs and equipment, but watch out! If your pilot dies you could lose it all and be forced to start again with an inferior mech.

Right now sign ups are currently closed. All existing players who wish to participate in the mission please answer the roll call and post your builds. If you don't catch the start of the game don't worry, it moves a lot more slowly now and you can deploy mid-mission.

Briefing:

Cable Guy: “Alright, settle down. There’s a lot to go over so pay attention. The Droiqubaran military has launched a massive offensive across the south of desert. Qadrus isn’t about to let the Droiqs march right up to their borders so they’ve set up a defence line to repel the assault in this region. Unfortunately they their military just doesn’t have as much manpower as the Droiqs and so their forces are stretched thin. That’s where we come in. We are to deploy alongside Qadrussi Army units in our designated area and hold the line. Our primary objective is to protect their mobile command truck. If this gets taken out their forces in the area will be unable to co-ordinate effectively and be forced to withdraw.

The Qadrussians have set up defensive position along a line of sand dunes. MBTs are holding the choke points while infantry have dug in along the crest of the dune. This formation is supported by a pair of crew served howitzers.

The Intel department have been gathering information on the enemy force and it isn’t pretty. The vanguard is made up three squads of mecha. Two of these squads are assault squads which are made up of two Komodo class mecha and a Stratus missile carrier. The Komodos are meant to advance and soak up enemy fire while the Stratus moves to engage key targets. Be wary: These squads are made up of veteran pilots. All those fancy moves you guys have been learning from the Chief, they likely know a few as well. The assault squads are backed up by a support squad consisting of two mortar Cobras and an Alligator equipped for spotting. I don’t need to tell you that being on the receiving end of the same blast weapons you like so much is not fun.

As if that wasn’t enough the mecha are backed up by a platoon of MBTs and a squadron of attack choppers which includes a heavy VTOL. They’ll arrive shortly after the mecha in order to mop up any resistance. This assumes that the defences have already been broken. You’re not gonna let that happen.

Of course the mecha are being backed up by type 1 assault servers. The veterans among you will remember how to deal with these things. Remember: it is not necessary to destroy them. Doing so will put a serious dent in the enemy mecha’s capabilities and you can be sure that attacking them will draw attention away from the Qadrussian line, but it may be a better use of firepower to simply take out the mecha themselves.

>>45516182
In terms of terrain it’s mostly sand dunes and open desert. At their highest point the dunes will block line of sight which means that the Droiqs will have to march over them in order to attack the command truck. Mecha part way up the dunes can draw line of sight to units on the other side at the same height level but will be obscured by the dune itself. There are also some rocky areas to the sides of the AO. These block movement and line of sight, but can be traversed with jump jets.

The command staff will probably want to set up a repair station in the field. There are several possible locations we can put it behind the lines, or we can deploy it front and centre which provides easier access but also exposes it to enemy fire. Pilots can choose to deploy in the middle of the AO, to the left or to the right. Please make your choice known to the transport crews before you depart or you will be dumped in the middle.

That's all folks, get your mecha prepped and make sure you're at the appropriate staging area before we move out."

"New systems seem to be running fine, Wendogo ready to roll out. Spare, Het, we wanna talk tactics here and now? My first thought is we drop our stealth-scouts all on one side, send them up to come at that support squad from the side, while the rest of us concentrate to one location and hold our command truck safe and warm, like a fuckin' baby."

>>45516515
>>45443588
>Refused Flank
Thanks Chief, your experience is very helpful. In this case it really depends what support assests (artillery, pioneer team etc) we have to protect, and what the Droiqubarian objectives are. If they want to push us back and claim ground (as we beleive they do) they must come to us and engage, allowing us to choose the nature of the battlefield. But if we concentrate to much, they could just bypass us entirely and push into Qadrussian territory.

Then again, that's all really more of a question for Qadrusian high command to deal with: they've paid for our forces to defend this area, so they must beleive that the Droiqubari army will attempt to remove us.

As far as a refused flank goes, the plan of a tight defensive anvil paired with an invisible hammer lurking nearby is a solid one. Once our defensive line has entangled the majority of the enemy forces, the stealth squad can then either move in to get rear shots on the elite mechs, or assault any vulnerable supporting elements (artillery, AA batteries etc).

The Defence group is looking pretty good. The sea of overlapping firepower they can put out should put the fear into any advancing force (though the lack of Mortars does make me sad). The Interceptors can then apply force wherever the enemy decides to focus. Some more Adaptive Camo armour and/or a third Tactical Shield would certainly improve things, but you seem to have a very functional set up as it stands.

>>45516534
The Flanker group on the other hand is rather light in numbers, being constrained by the necessity of Knight-lite stealth armour. We also haven't had much time to train with the new systems, and are still getting used to the tactics involved in actively avoiding a straight fight. I'd have fewer missgivings generally if the flankers were tougher, or had a fifth member. The most glaring hole is the lack of an Errant Scrambler Field, since a defense bonus for the entire squad would really go a long way. Either myself, Alice or Hetros can carry one, and I beleive Hetros even has 2 Torso slots free. The issue, as always, is scrounging the 6 Cred.

An important point: Gasolina is yet to spend any of their Cred from the previous mission, so could fit either group. They vanished shortly after mission-end last time: I'm not sure where they've gone, but they're probably living-it-large in the nearest town with a bar.

The Chief also tells me the following pilots are yet to report for free/complimentary/compulsory training (or if they have, they haven't told anyone about it):
>Gasolina
>Bludhawk
>Tragedy
>Gunman

Finally, everyone should bear in mind: this is a meatgrinder. The enemy WILL have reserves, and will not hesitate to commit them. Preserve your mechs and spend ammo wisely. Putting yourself in danger to get a killshot is generally not advised: the enemy will have more tanks and mechs, but we don't have any more of you guys. Stay in cover, watch each other's backs, and listen to Spare and Hetros.

Some questions about our shiny-new Knight-Lite kit Command:
>What happens if you hit or crit a non-mech target (like an APC, MBT, VTOL or infantry) with a Canister Gun?
>How do smoke launchers work? Do they take an action to activate, or can you just slam a button and vomit smoke everywhere? How much ground do they cover? If you have a Sensor Pod, can you fire at a target through smoke if you have a Lock On?
>Does placing a Mine break stealth? The Lord's Mine Launcher is silent, but placed ones aren't labled as such.
>Will we be able to lay Mines before the battle begins?

>>45516720
>What happens if you hit or crit a non-mech target (like an APC, MBT, VTOL or infantry) with a Canister Gun?
It gets wrecked. Aerial units die instantly when critted by weapons with EMP.

>How do smoke launchers work? Do they take an action to activate?
No, you can pop them as a free action.

>How much ground do they cover?
The three hexes in front of you.

>If you have a Sensor Pod, can you fire at a target through smoke if you have a Lock On?
Yes

>>45516160
Deploying.

Unless trigger is here to override my action, I am placing the repair truck in the back central deployment zone.

I want our heavy uncloaked hitters in the EASTERN ZONE

You hear me assault squad? If you're not with a cloaking unit, and able to hold from the flank, I want you fucking THERE.

I want artillery in the center. You guys are to move to either supporting flank.

Cloak Squad? You're with me. We're deploying to the Western Deployment zone. Our goal is simple. You are to move the fuck in, we wipe out the assault squad if possible, but whatever we fucking do, we TAKE OUT THOSE MOBILE SERVER FARMS.

Those have to go if we're to blunt this assault.

We sweep across from west to east, repair the fuck up, and then MOVE.

Missile Artillery Units? I want you on the eastern side of the central deployment zone.

We have to make this fucking COUNT got me? I want those things down before the second wave is so much as fucking -incoming- save your red line mods for when shit gets real LATER, this is just the preliminary offense, the probe.

Everyone understand what you need to do? Good.

Okay guys. Outline of the game plan.

Cloak squad is taking the brunt of this.

Hammer Squad, we need you guys in the center to keep our skies clear alright? You got the missiles and a ridiculous radar range. Use it.

Dagger Squad, I want you guys to HOLD OFF for the first offensive, just let them walk into your overwatch range got it? We need you guys to ride to the rescue if things get hairy got it? and I don't want you so far forward you can't react to the changing battlefield.

It is VITAL, even if you FINISH OFFthe eastern assault, that you DO NOT try to finish off the server farm there. Let Cloak squad handle it. We're going to come out bloodied from this probably, so we have to leave something in reserve, got it?

Malek? Leave some mines behind us just in case okay?

We're going to slip past their first offensive, then hit them from behind as they walk past us, light them up, recloak, go after the first server farm or blow it to hell.

Remember guys. Our open objective as cloak squad is to blow the server farms to hell. If we do that we can blunt their entire offensive.

>>45517344
Keep in mind this is a perfect world scenario. If it fails, then Dagger squad will move in to remove their eastern mobile server farm, but leave people BEHIND YOU as well. If you can run the fucking thing off? That's good too.

If you get too damaged, fall back to the repair trucks got it?

I wish we had the point defense turrets now, we could have put it front and center and prayed.

Oh, another thing about the plan guys.

If you don't OBLITERATE the enemy? Don't worry about it.

Just make sure they are bloodied enough that if they keep moving forward, they'll be fucked to hell by the infantry and tanks.

The only exception are units with an effective range larger than our allies.

Cobras for example, wreck'em.

The only things that must die are things with missiles, things with artillery, and the mobile server farms.

Reminding you of the plan.

We are expecting multiple waves. What we see now is a vanguard, probably a thunder run. I doubt it is their main offensive.

You guys are to hold the Eastern flank for the time being. Cloak Squad is deploying to the Western Flank, and from there we will be sweeping up, and around, capping each server and the support team, hopefully we can bloody the western assault team if not outright destroy them as well.

I know that you guys are melee focused. And this is a lot to ask, but I need you guys to HOLD BACK and let the enemy come to you, and then HAMMER them.

If the second wave doesn't show any signs of showing up, or Cloak Squad bogs down, you are to make a quick foray to SMASH the western server, and then fall back IMMEDIATELY. Do not pursue the center mobile server and support squad.

Cloak squad is leaving a deliberate hole in our lines, and the reason is this. We want the enemy to see it, and run for it. When they deploy, you will rush them and strike them from the side, while Cloak Squad repairs and holds the Western Flank following that.

We get paid for the job being completed, not for our kill score. This isn't Mecha-rena. If you guys get to sit out this entire thing without so much as firing a shot? Then think of it as getting paid for watching a military flick without any real danger.

Just remember, we need you guys to hold out for the second, even third waves. Leave this first wave to us primarily.

I should mention something guys.

Given this strategy we expect them to be coming in with, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that if, with our superior numbers, we were to blitz, and destroy, the enemy, that they'd fall back, they wouldn't deploy their infantry, tanks, and air support.

The cloak then dagger approach exists purely for one reason.

Quadrus probably can't afford for those guys to hit them along another front.

We're going to turn this meat grinder into a fucking kill box. We bloody them badly, but not so badly that we scare them off. Then they come in with the other forces, and we mop them up when they try to mop us up.

Tough choice on specialization but I'm going to go with Assault.

Just a quick recap:
- Eastern group is to engage at our front line, hit some targets, fall back to repair and move back to our line.
- Western group is to infiltrate enemy lines and take out the servers. Cloakers preferred.
- Central group is to bombard the battlefield with artillery/sniper support. Artillery/Snipers preferred.

>>45519988

Oh, do drones start deployed?

Keeping in mind that with the placement of the Pioneer Team, any falling back will take an effective 4 turns to retreat and return to the front line.
While getting back safety is much prefered to getting blown up, stick it out for as long as you can.

>>45525471
I considered putting it in the eastern gap, or even the forward position, but I considered that without point defense turrets, the forward position would be too risky, and the eastern side would make it very difficult for anyone to get back to it if they were on the opposite side of the map.

Why does anybody pick anything except missile spam now that you have a reloading base?

Given the stats on the guns in this game, only one mech has a better than 50/50 chance of being hit with ANYTHING else? You're better off locking on given how much lower eDef is and then using auto-hit weapons.

Can I convince you to add a the number you are on the map to the first bit of your callsign, like I have a star? It makes it easier to track movement.

And please, given your heavy equipment and shield, feel no need to hold position. However, I'd suggest waiting to charge for the Stratus or Komodo systems to come into range. You can overwatch an action to do that. Then Chuck can back you up.

If the eastern group aims for the attacking squadron now, you'll pin them between tankfire and your own mechs, along with our artillery section. Don't get too overzealou, there's likely a second wave of tanks and airships inbound.

Tragedy, Gunman and Eisensturm can you fire at the support group coming up the middle?

>>45543571
Seeing as we all only have two actions per turn, for now yes.

>>45543607

So you're saying it's usable once per two actions?

>>45543681
Using Tactical Advance costs nothing to use as far as I'm concerned.
It just lets you move some, attack, move the rest.
Which essentially uses up two actions.
Other Pilots can't do what we do unless they spec into Assault.
Sorry if I wasn't clear on that or if I'm still causing confusion.

When can I deploy a new mech?

>>45543769

That just added a little to the confusion. So declaring Tactical Advance costs 2 Actions and not 1? If that's the case, I can only move 4 spaces.

It costs no actions to declare Tactical Advance.
If you have Tactical Advance, you can Tactically Advance whenever you want.

What Tactical Advance does however is let you use a move action to move a bit, then let you use an action to shoot, then use the rest of your movement from the previous action.

>>45543394
crits apply double damage before the penetration happens right? So penetration damage is still applied even with damage reduction?

For reference, you can pick 1 skill from the middle set (the ones that would normally cost 10 credits)

We might need a few more bodies on the ground and in the ground before this is all over.

This is Camel-leader Sparebits, I'm reading crippling damage potential on enemy systems E1, ES1, S, S1, W1, WS -- and wait, *Wendigo*?

Wendigo just flatlined - someone talk to me. Did we just lose *A PILOT* along with the Mech?

I am also getting conflicting messages from Pilots Horst-6 and Tragedy-13 - what the hump are you two doing? Horst; you're pulling away from the combat zone with your mech still fully operational and Tragedy, I think you got your controls turned around somehow! You're facing the incoming tank wave rear-end first!

You'd be better off moving forward 1, 2, 2, 1 and taking a shot at E2 - and Horst, you can move 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 4, and charge him the undefended, unshielded rear. None of this turning your tail and running nonsense.

Malek, if you're in position to do so, please Demo the assault server you can reach.

Alice, I need you to keep pressure on W2 so he doesn't break the tank entrenchment. With the Howitzer backing you up and you having a clear shot at his back-end, you should be fine. Fine shooting by the by.

Please see the assessment I'm sending to your feed now.

I remind you all that we have access to an emergency extraction airplane, it'll swoop you out of the field if you give the go order and launch your co-ordinates. But the bill is coming *out* of your pocket, jetfuel ain't cheap.
>Emergency Extraction rescues you+your mech, but your mission reward is used to paid for it. No death, no mech-loss, but no money either for this round of fighting.

Assuming their tank crews roll in with a main battle line, their first advancing fire drill can hit any target on the inside of Fireline 1. Assuming they move forward at standard speed (4), Fireline 2 is any target after their initial rush.

I want all of you on the good side of Fireline 2 as soon as possible unless you have cloaking capability.

(("Tragedy, Gunman and Eisensturm can you fire at the support group coming up the middle?" What the hell? You asked me to engage them!))

Someone please tell me that the stratus on the eastern flank is dead, that thing could tear me apart in a split moment!

>>45551155
Indeed I did! Your maneurvering confused me And somehow, somewhy my cliffy notes tells you had a p-spike and a giant mortar! Which you don't! And never did!

With a pair of pistols you are indeed perfectly well placed to fire away as you are now. So perhaps I should offer less criticism, and more compliments, because actually doing exactly what you're good at.

That guy has full health, I have 11, worst case he kills me, best case I kill him, then get unloaders on by the other enemies while im exposed and frankly, showing my rear armor that close to them is bad news bears

>>45552479
Every other enemy in that area is defeated by the other Camels - that's why you'd be clear to charge with little repurcussion save whatever armament a single komodo can bring to bear; most of which will be blunted by your shield. You know what you're doing, though so anyway, if you pull back to the central area and the two vehicles with the 4 struts around them they'll try to patch your mech together. It'll take a while though, so you'll be out of the action for a significant bit.

And now you see why Hassan sold us those mechs for the same cost as the camels. I'm convinced that he pieced them togther from scrap, spareparts, and camel hair.

Hassan drugged you, you weren't riding on mechs at all, just camels with cardboard strapped to them.

I have 14 sensor range, so I'm fine either way, really.

>Malek, if you're in position to do so, please Demo the assault server you can reach.
>Halting previous action
Are you certain boss? If I don't take out the Stratus this turn, Hetros and I are dead meat.
Plus, I'm not sure I can reach without hitting the front armour.
>I want all of you on the good side of Fireline 2 as soon as possible unless you have cloaking capability.
This is an either/or boss. If I'm Demoing the server, and reinforcements arrive, I'm spent.
Please clarify, is my priority:
1) Revenge on the stratus
2) Demo the server
3) Running for safety
>>45543215
Command, what area does the Server Armour cover? Its current oreintation makes it hard to judge.

This is Gunman, requesting orders.
I got a shot at Komodo W2 but I could move to attack the mortars later.

((All of this assuming that the central komodo didn't bring ablative armor.))

((Srry to say I dun goofed in processing the last turn and gave an enemy mech one more action than it should have. Normally I try to smooth mistakes like this over in more subtle ways, but this time there's nothing for it but to come out and say: Eisensturm get's +10 HP. The late Alligator S would not have had enough actions left to fire off it's HK missile after EMP recovery.))

Kail: [Hack Failed, cannot find target]

QAF Tank: Camel 4 what are you doing!? Your guns can't penetrate that Komodo's shield. You need to get behind it.

Cable Guy: "Just a little reminder to our folks out in the field the Assault servers become less and less important the more mecha you kill. By themselves they can't really do much... worth some good salvage though if you do take em out."

QAF Tank: It's a cluster fuck out there I can't get a good shot in.

QAF Artillery: Tell me about, if we open up now we'll pancake the help.

Captain Firat: All units hold fire, do not take a shot unless it's clear. The camels have this covered.

Cable Guy: "Central Assault server has retreated. I'm updating your targeting computers to display the more heavily armored segments of enemy units. Use this to place better shots. The second wave has arrived, we just need to take a chunk out of these guys and the Droiqs should call it quits."

-------------------------

Tank Commander: "What the hell is going on here? The enemy defence line is still standing and I can hardly see any of our mecha."

Heavy VTOL: "Looks like the Qads have hired mercs, an entire platoon of mecha by the looks of it. Hard to believe a bunch of PMCs could take out our boys."

Attack Chopper: "That insignia... could this be the Caramel Camel Corps?"

Heavy VTOL: "Who?"

Attack Chopper: "The same guys that took out the Anuncian Land Carrier. They're rising starts among the private contractors."

Tank Commander:"This changes nothing, if our mecha did any damage they should be close to breaking. All units advance!"
