So, we need to remain stationary for *two turns* to get the data, THEN get off the board.  We're probably looking at a 2x3 space for this if I remember the hex sizes correctly.

There are 7 lights, 2 Mediums, 2 Heavies and an Assault on the board, followed up by a lot of armor on turn 9.

Reaper and Wolverine are both medium weight, with one Heavy to them, a 3025 Crusader in Reaper.

Bearing this in mind - my strong suggestion because of this is to bring at least one, possibly two heavy weight lances to help keep this going.

Our options then are:

Dragon
Bright
Skaraborg
Crusher



Dragon got thrashed a bit in their solo mission, and a same day redeployment may be hard to do for them without major risk.

I'd suggest Bright and Crusher get called in.  Bright hasn't seen much action, and has a fair amount of weight to them and some speed to boot.  Crusher also has some good speed and weight to their mechs, and also has a good amount of LRMs, a nice thing to have.

I'm not going to suggest Skaraborg.  They were used in Henhouse 1, while in excellent repair, arrive on turn 6.  That's a long time for the little guys to be holding on for dear life.

I suggest Bright and Crusher, with Skaraborg and Dragon as fallback options.

Weight recommendations make sense.

Might end up being one of us anyway. I do not mind using 2 mechs, I will come in on turn 3 and have ranged support and a fast mech to catch up with the starting forces.

Remember that you only need to have one functional mech for the Ace Duel. So a unit can get pretty shot up and still be in good shape for the Ace Duel.

Reinforcements will be Bright Lance and Crusher Lance, if he is able to make the game. If not I will check who else would be available.

May I suggest rerolling the map? The terrain is wooded, so some trees is about the most open map type possible. Any more heavily wooded or hilled map will make it much easier to stand still for two turns without getting focus fired.
