The Nevik Operators Democratic Republic (N.O.D.R) lies across the sea from Neromius; a fact that seemed to protect it from direct attack. Its neighbour: Praovana is not so lucky and is currently bearing the brunt of Neromian ambition. In an act of enlightened self-interest the N.O.D.R has immediately set up a supply route to feed war material to its beleaguered neighbour.

Naturally the invasion was attracting all manner of hired guns from across the region. Lone freelancers and established mercenary companies alike flocked to the conflict zones to snap up the lucrative contracts offered by both sides. You are one such person.

Somehow you have acquired a vehicle; a sturdy war machine to ride into battle in search of fame and fortune. Right now, you are transferring through a N.O.D.R supply depot towards Praovana where they are handing out contracts like candy. Word on the grapevine is that it’s a meat grinder, but if you survived you could make some big bucks. It’s not just about the money either. Larger merc companies were participating in the war and when they took casualties there was an opportunity for a freelancer to get hired as a replacement; a ticket to the big leagues. Hell maybe you’d make friends with enough of your fellow freelancers to form a company of your own?

You looked back at your machine strapped to a heavy-duty hauler together with its various supplies. It was one among many that currently sat in the transit yard outside the N.O.D.R base. Other freelancers milled around their own transports, no doubt with similar ambitions to you. You had been riding all day with the latest convoy and you’d be staying the night here before setting off for the border again the next day. All this travelling was slowly burning a hole in your wallet, not that you didn’t have enough cash to get you to your next job, but having no revenue to offset your expenses was making you anxious.

Your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a distant explosion, you were still several days out from the front; no way the fighting was anywhere near here. Maybe someone had accidentally dropped something they shouldn’t have? No, you could hear gunfire in the distance now. It was far off but unmistakable; there was a battle taking place. You look back at your vehicle apprehensively; should you get it ready? Was this even your problem? The thought of having to fight without getting paid tugged against your survival instinct, but it didn’t have to for long; a bunch of officers came rushing into your staging area and began to disperse among your peers. One of them began shouting into a mega phone:

“This base is currently facing imminent attack by the Neromians. The N.O.D.R Armed Forces hereby offers all of you a mercenary contract at premium rate provided you deploy immediately!”

Another explosion went off in the distance, closer this time. The base siren started to wail, just beyond your little parking lot you saw soldiers rushing back and forth. A machine gun team fumbled with their weapon then dropped a magazine, scattering bullets across the tarmac. A nearby NCO started chewing them out as each of them scrambled to scoop up the rounds. Saint preserve you; these guys had no idea what they were doing. Did you really want to work for them? The sounds of battle were getting closer still. You briefly considered jumping in your hauler and making a run for it. No. That ship had sailed, it was likely the Neromians would run you down as you fled the base. If you wanted to live through this day you would have to fight.

Someone came running towards you with a sheaf of papers. They were wearing the standard woodland camouflage fatigues of the N.O.D.R military but with no webbing or helmet. The man didn’t even have his side arm; some kind of staff officer then. You could smell the desperation coming off him as he shoved what was obviously a mercenary contract in your face.

“Just sign here merc,” he gasped. “Don’t sweat the fine print, it’s easy money.”

Well now you really did have to make sure you read the whole thing. Another explosion rocked the base, alarmingly close this time. Ah shit, no time for formalities. You hastily scrawled your signature on the contract and signalled your crew to start prepping everything for battle.

Those damn tankers stealing our niches! The cobra is the superior vehicle! Agile, elegant, inexpensive! Go back to the 21st century you treaded relics!

Ahem... Since the target marker has tags for missile and light weapon, and can be used with an attack action... could you stick one into that Boa with a type D and lock on/attack with one action?

>>5679277
As I understand, yes. And it's even nicer when paired with Type R and ATGM, because the homing trait of the ATGM means the attack can't miss (But can be intercepted).

“Mercenaries, we are a rear line logistics base, our garrison forces are not equipped to repel an attack of this magnitude. I need you to prevent the enemy from breaching our HQ. If you can I would also like you to secure the munitions storage bunker to the north. It is hardened against direct attack but if the enemy manages to breach the doors and toss a demo charge inside we’ll be in for a bad time.”

“If you need repairs, there are field engineering stations that will fix you up.”

"Well, not exactly. It's one of the cornerstones of the mech anti-megafuna arsenal.

"Megafauna inevitably charge, see, so you rev up the servomotors in your mech's legs and store up some *oomph* for when the time comes. At the very last second, you *jam* your mech's arm right down its throat, all the way through, and grab its tail. Then you *yank* its tail back through its mouth, and turn it inside out. Works particularly well on megafauna with short tails, like megabears."

Loose Widget would find Gorgon’s mech completely abandoned. The cockpit hatch was ajar and the controls were unlocked. It was like the pilot had bailed out in a hurry, but why? The console showed all systems green so it wasn’t like Gorgon had been driven away by a critical systems failure.

Could it have been cowardice? Perhaps, but if Gorgon truly had no stomach for battle why not simply turn his mech around and flee in it rather than leaving it behind? There was even a half-eaten MRE hanging out of the storage compartment. A mystery to be sure, but one Loose Widget didn’t have time to ponder as and strapped himself in and prepared to re-join the battle.

Somewhere in the rear…

As the battle raged near the HQ the support crews of the mercenaries had no choice but to sit tight and hope that their employers prevailed. Most of them had hunkered down near their respective cargo haulers nervously clutching their personal defence weapons. Two of them however, were standing outside a portable latrine from within which emanated sounds of torment hellish enough to rival the battle going on in the distance.

“How long is the boss going to be in there? At the rate he’s going the battle will be over by the time he gets it out of his system.”

“Dunno, he came running over a while back complaining about the mother of all bad stomachs then locked himself in there.”

“Was it something he ate?”

“Not unless he got something nasty off the locals. All we’ve got are MREs and those last forever.”

“No they don’t!”

“Yes they do! They last for years on the shelf.”

“Long shelf life is not infinite shelf life, what was in the last crate Gorgon opened!?”

“Oh it’s Peace Keeper surplus from the Satellite War. I heard their rations were really good, can’t get stuff like that anymore.”

“The Satellite War ended over 20 years ago! I don’t know how good Peace Keeper food science was but no way are those rations still safe to eat after that long!”

“Oh well, you know what they say: Shit happens…”

Huh, free MRE? Ooooh, with the PK choc-nut ration bar half intact. Spicy MegaKau? That sounds delicious.

Blast 0 means that when targeting a unit made of many small entities in a hex (eg, Infantry) a hit will blast them all.
It also makes them harder to Evade - even if you dodge the hit, you still cop the blast.
