Rob, if we bring the Marksman, does that count as our 1 lance of reinforcements?

Not checked in yet
Midnight +1


Still waiting on Timothy's basketball schedule.  Ryan's got a game at noon.  Will let you know hopefully later this week.

Btw, I noticed that the heading on the fully generated scenario was "final".  Is this the last mission of the contract then, win or lose?

I think that just means that Rob has finalized the scenario, objectives stated, no rerolls, map defined, etc.

I'm available as well, and planning to be there.

Also, got 2 harassers.
What turn would you arrive and how well can you hunt hovercraft?

I will be there.  Dancer can field 3 PHawks and Enforcer (has gauss rifle).


I did some checking on my ongoing repairs.  The Blackjack will be complete on Jan 3 and is therefore available for mission 5.  What that does is brings Dancer 2's PPC spec. back into the equation.  I would generally field Blackjack [twin PPC's and weap spec] over the Enforcer [Gauss Rifle] with the 3 PHawks and still arrive on turn 3.  Given the upcoming battle, an option would be to field Blackjack and Enforcer with 2 PHawks.  This would slow arrival time to turn 4 but increase long range firepower.  Jon, if you want Dancer to be reinforcement, these are the options available.

I also have Saracens, Saladins and Harrassers available for the battle if required.

Assuming I choose Dancer, quicker arrival trumps the firepower difference. This fight will be a real slugfest with real chances for losses. I expect that we will lose 2-4 mechs with perfect play on our part. So, the follow on question is are you ready for losses?

I would be down for some losses, not like I have been sliding from them pretty often lately.

Cannon Fodder Lance?

The issue really is one of speed. Dancer Lance can arrive one turn faster and is much quicker on the ground. His Blackjack with PPC spec will contribute to fire support and his P. Hawks are fast enough to keep the hovercraft in check while carrying enough firepower to kill them quickly. Keeping up and killing quickly is an important consideration since we need to sweep this fight. Dancer's Lance is also heavy enough to threaten anything on the board (especially when the assaults have been killed or damaged in earlier fighting).

Okay, Dancer Lance is the official reinforcement. Now let's see if we can pull this off without leaving the field littered with our mechs.
