(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.

We are currently not accepting any new players.

I finished the map at 8 but still need to write the briefing. Sorry. It'll be done in a bit.

Meanwhile I shall give you some pretty pictures to look at.

Turns out no other than Nerv Bridge Simulator's Cegremo took an interest in my little quest and gave me a sweet portrait of Cable Guy.

>>46312521
Mr. Kerry! Looking good there, Cable Guy. It's nice to know such a handsome mug watches the battlefield for us.

Cable Guy: "Ah knock it off, you're embarrassing me."

“So N.O.R.D has just decided to outright invade the Principality of Beskaosia. The Beskaosians know their military can’t fight N.O.R.D out in the open so they’ve retreated to their fortified capital and dug in. Even then it’s only a matter of time before N.O.R.D cracks it open. The Principality hopes to hold out until the IF taskforce from Molvania hits N.O.R.D’s lines and forces them to redeploy their forces.

We’ve been hired to defend a critical section of wall along the capital’s perimeter. Our primary objective is to defend the section command center located just behind the wall. The wall has two fortified gates on its east and west side. Principality infantry have set up in entrenched positions behind the gates, the gates themselves have mortar emplacements just behind them as well a pair of cannon turrets mounted next to them. The command center is guarded by infantry and a pair of MGPs are available as a *sigh* ‘mobile reserve’. Another important thing to note is the pair of SAM sites on the field. If they get destroyed N.O.R.D will be able to deploy heavy VTOL squadrons to the field and we all know how much you LOVE those.”

>>46312521
Nice!

>>46312872
"So this alliance has dropped any pretense of playing fair then. Or maybe they figure that now that they've already left the IF, they have nothing left to lose. I'm really surprised N.O.R.D. joined though, weren't they a big backer of the IF in the day? Helped them secure independence from Wesen Nevik didn't it?"

"Nobody knows the exact motivations, but N.O.R.D's economy hasn't been doing so well recently. All those protectionist policies meant they couldn't compete on the international market. Some say that they went to war to grab more resources, others to distract a discontent population."


>>46312872
"Speaking of N.O.R.D they have amassed a massive force to storm this position. Intel indicates that their forces will come in 3 waves. The first wave is an elite armoured assault company. These guys are by far the most dangerous wave. They are made up of some of N.O.R.D’s finest tank crews, and their machines have been specially modified for this assault. We’ll be facing four squads of five tanks each. All the tanks are equipped with reactive armour and mine plows, so don’t expect the minefield around the wall to stop them. The reactive armour means that the first few attacks against them are likely to be ineffective, so use weak multiple shot weapons to strip them down then hit them with the big guns… or in Honeypot’s case just keep shooting.

Now within each squad there are multiple specialised tanks. You’ve got the mammoth variant, the siege tanks and the command tank. The siege tanks are the ones you need to worry about the most, they carry siege cannons which will crack open fortifications whether they have a gate or not, they also have armoured tops so you can’t circumvent their armour with indirect fire weapons. The mammoths are pretty straight forward: they have two guns, each weaker than a standard tank cannon but together they deal more damage. These guys will try to protect the siege tanks. The command tank co-ordinates the entire squad. It’s got ECM capabilities so watch out for hacking, it will also designate targets so be careful you don’t get focused down."

>deploy outside the walls
"Rather you than me boss. Anytime one of the MANY enemies spots you, your gonna get a wall of fire down on your ass... Sir. I'd recommend lurking behind the wall to get rear-armour shots when they break through."

>>46313244
After that comes a wave of mechanised infantry. These are elite troops that have worked themselves up into a frenzy. While they’re not as dangerous as the tanks don’t underestimate them, if three squads manage to get to the command center it’s all over, plus they’re also been known to charge larger enemy vehicles and bring them down with mass AT grenades. Their AFVs come in squads of five but they’re not really anything special save for the command variant which directs fire and has ECM.

The final wave is the reserves. They consist of mixed MBTs and mechanised infantry. They will come in once the main assault has hit and move to re-enforce any positions that need it. Unlike the rest of the assault force these guys are not that well trained so if the battle isn’t going their way they should break once their command vehicle is destroyed.

It's your call whether you want to hang back or sally forth. If the latter the Officers are authorized to order the gates to open. Just remember: if you open the enemy might get a chance to get inside.

Pioneer teams are standing by if you want to deploy them.

((Walls will stay open for an entire turn.))

>>46313362
>Deploy outside the walls.

I'd advise against it. If you get detected you'll be cut off and facing down a lot of tanks, but if you insist then I can make the arrangements.

>>46313406
"My worry is that them breaking through will take out those turrets with their very nice AA capabilities, and I don't like the idea of being pounded by cruise missiles do you?"

>>46312872
>>46313244
Just as a minor concern, what are the chances that N.O.R.D. forces have infiltrated the wall elsewhere? I'd hate to get canister-guned in the back.

>>46313477

Cable Guy: "Highly unlikey. The capital is locked down and on high alert. Any infiltrators would be hard pressed to get in and if any didn't they hardly be able to smuggle in a canister gun to shoot you in the back."

>>46313582
"Cable guy, is there some way for us to shoot at the oncoming enemy from the walls themselves? A way to get up onto them? Because otherwise I don't see much we can do from behind them except wait for them to be demolished. Honestly, it might be better to open a deliberate crack in our defenses, let the enemy rush towards it and walk into kill zone if we can't deploy beyond the wall itself, or mount the wall."

Also, I would like to deploy close to the center, regardless of where I deploy, left or right.

It worries me that N.O.R.D assumes they can take a city this heavily fortified, with that many defenses. It implies they're bringing in a frankly astronomical amount of gear.

We're fighting lots of weaker units, so quantity of fire is more stressed, BUT these tanks rock 6hp per unit typically, just something to keep in mind.

Slightly improved levels of concern.

>Again, regarding fauna, is it more reptilian or avian in nature?

>>46315990
I keep forgetting to answer this one so now is as good a time as any I suppose.

Mega fauna comes in all types although historically most of the types tamed by humans have been mammilian due to their attitudes being more conducive to domestication. (Usually herd or pack animals) There are some reptilian mega fauna that have been tamed. (usually turtles) but generally reptiles tend to be more ornery and less inclined to accept orders from a rider.

When it comes to mega avians, only the flightless breeds could be tamed. Having a huge animal that could fly off any time it wanted meant that it was almost impossible to tame mega fauna that were capable of flight. Only a handful of people throughout history have been able to do it, usually by imprinting on the hatch-ling.

In recent times it has become possible to control insectoid megafauna through pheromones, though right now the only applications of this knowledge is pest control as the largest mega insect is about the same size as a large dog.

Australia is fucked up exactly because something came along and wiped out the megafauna and the smaller species never deweaponized the super toxins necessary to kill things 3000% bigger than them.

It wouldn't surprise me if this entire setting is basically australia given that.

Hm.
A lot of red lights just lit up on my sensor net. That is a fair amount of incoming tanks.
I think I may have picked the wrong set of combat capabilities for this.

Well, first things first - they're operating a smoke screen deployment. Beskaosians, can you order your mortars and cannon groups to open fire in a random pattern? As they roll in we'll expect them to clear the way through the mines, but a bit of fire might slow them down.

And pilots, If at all possible, try to disable the command tanks to disrupt their formations. These are tanks A5, B5, C5 and D5. It seems Tragedy is taking a crack at A5. Nice job, Pilot. Let's see if we can't dent them a little bit.

Mineplows negate mine damage on the front arc. If the tank reverses on to a mine then it will take damage as normal.

Call me crazy here but.....
Maybe we should open a gate
That way they'll come in instead of blowing holes in the wall
Better we clear out rats in a tempoary hole, than have to hold back a swarm in a permanent one

>>46333023
You're crazy here.
Maybe not wrong though. Shooting over the wall doesn't bother me, but getting a clear shot would help. Doubt the Beskies would go for it, and it is their gate.

>Since friendly actions and enemy actions happen on the same phase, then overwatch doesn't apply does it? If it does, then have everything overwatch. The mortars should overwatch 1N of any siege tanks, the turrets overwatch on any incoming command tanks

>>46333281
Well, key targets can be located by us and hopefully shared over a general tac net.

As is right now, the smoke screen deployment and heavy protection of the front tank group would prevent most effective fire. With a slightly randomized pattern their formation might need to break up to compensate.

If your men are competent enough to compensate for smoke-screen and armor both , then my hat is off to the well trained Beskonian military and you can do as you see fit.

Actually, assuming you can splice in the targetting data from our tactical network then perhaps these two siege tanks would be appropriate targets...

>If we can share targetting data, then A1 is shared with western cannons and mortar through Sparebits

>D1 is shared with eastern cannons and mortar through Malek

>D4 is out of tac-net range.

>>46333481
Only the people/mechs/units using the data need to be inside Tac-net range to be able to share locks. Not the targets themselves. Currently the entire eastern side are sharing through Malek.

(In general, gear bonuses don't stack, but A.E.S.R. is a pack of cheaters. I'm more curious if the Hydra does a def boost or damage reduction. Or both. I'm also a little concerned about the shroud system, and how it interacts with things that affect stealth, like Concealment, and attacks.
Also, are all A.E.S.R. mechs designed like the Cognis, taking two pilots and all? Because that would be an interesting trial, coordinating the actions of one mech between two pilots/players. I mean, would we address them as Sugarpot? Honeydaddy?)
