This planet's weather really sucks. One minute it's a terrain destroying rainstorm of very biblical proportions and the next its Dune, complete with heat lightning. Tell me again, why do people live here?

Having just fought on Dante's Peak for my solo mission, my opinion remains unchanged. The Dracs can have this world. Use it as a penal colony/assignment.

did we decide who is going for the pinata fest just because its a pinata fest doesnt mean those things wont hurt considering their pilots

I think we should also decide whether the goal is to kill off the opfor or just blow by. If we want to kill off the opfor, we will want a different force balance than if we just want to wave as we pass "Beep, beep!"
Going for the kills would argue for a heavier force, while blowing by argues for a faster force. Also, killing everything would be a good time to bring in the arty. We need to get (at least 1 of) them enough XP to buy at least a +1 strategy rating to bring up their reinforcement speed from 9 turns.

Assuming next mission IS a base attack, we should probably do a clean sweep to get as much salvage value as possible. Risk/Reward sort of thing.

The danger is that the same units that play this game get called in the base assault, probably with minimal time to repair.

With 4 lances (16 pilots) vs 32 mechs/vehicles, it ends up being a 2 to 1. It is manageable, but could open up to being focused as well. I say a downward split, aiming for the mechs and getting at least control of the BF (24 units min). We def do not want a repeat of mission 3 however.

Yeah, that was a real headache.

I recommend if we go for kills using heavy inferno based units just because inferno love vehicles I mean those gunners are annoying

Also do inferno lrm exist

[deadlyfire2345]

Appears to be, it is on SSW under advanced ruleset. 45,000 per ton.

Does it say a year and tech level if not I'll scrounge around tomorrow

I see inferno arrow IV, incendiary LRMs, inferno bombs, inferno mines, and so on. But I don't see inferno LRMs. There is a thunder inferno mine round. The incendiary LRMs won't be available until 3053 and thunder inferno mines are out to 3056.

[deadlyfire2345]

I misread that. It was incendiary LRMs.

Just a small refresher on vehicle critical hits, if it has already been hit or does not apply, you move down to the next item. So a Hetzer hit on the rear critical table is very unhappy.

2-5 No effect
6 Weapon Malfunction
7 Cargo/Infantry
8 Stabilizer
9 Weapon Destroyed
10 Engine Hit
11 Ammunition
12 Fuel Tank

Hetzers have no rear weapons
Hetzers have no cargo/infantry
Stabilizers are weapon related and Hetzers have no rear weapons
Hetzers have no rear weapons
Hetzer be pill boxed and can't fire energy weapons
BOOM!
BOOM!

So one inferno hit roll in the rear is bad, two or more is fatal.

Before Lucas makes his decision on who to call as the the 4th lance, he wants to see how Midnight Lance does in it's solo mission. He may not be able to to get a full lance ready for Mission 4. He only has 5 days in the field at a mobile HQ. Currently Lucas is looking at the following Lance's for reinforcement based on arrival time of round 3: Dancer, Ice, and Wolverine. Dunedain would have been in the list but his commander is out for a while. 

Also, between Bright Lance and Reaper Lance we only have Reaper's Gladiator that can be loaded with infernos.

If we do the stricked drive by, Bright Lance and liason will be left behind because most of his lance is 4,6,4. Also, if Midnight isn't full strength then more of Brightlance would have to get more of his units all the way across which could be difficult.

I’m hoping to get my mission in in the next couple of weeks, but we’ll see how that goes.
