Shouldn't some of those Karnovs be UR Transport Models? At least if the intent is to drop infantry.

What part of "the attacker must land near the building" was unclear?  Karnovs can carry infantry as cargo (ie, must land to disembark).

Don't the gunship variants replace the cargo capacity with MGs?

AtB says that the MG variant is "Karnov UR Gunship (MG)".

[Ad Hoc]

The karnovs are carrying the infantry correct?

Correct

From the looks of things, the intent behind the scenario is that a company of infantry is being carried in on the Karnovs.  They have to land, disembark the infantry near the target building, and then move in to kill off the target.

Unless the building is towards the south it seems impossible to get into position in time with 6 of the Karnovs able to move 11,17 and the other 2 moving 8,12. Unless Bright rerolls weather to get something that would affect the VTOL's but not him.  He would probably need to reroll light as well.

Please rerolls light.

Also, who chooses building location? Can the HVT leave the building and/or can 1 of my mechs pick him up?

Currently Daylight, 3 rerolls remaining.

And the building is placed on the map by the scenario.  From what I think is going on, this is INTENDED to be a "defend the building" sort of scenario, but one where you can actually defend the building instead of having it sniped (as an immobile target) from all the way across the map.  When I boot up the scenario, there's no option for the HVT being an on-board figure, so consider this as a sort of "mission timer".  Since the HVT doesn't appear on the board, no, you can't evac him out of the building.  Note that since the HVT doesn't appear as an on-board figure, that means you can fire into the building to take out enemy infantry (though I presume that if you collapse the building, he still dies).

Basically, this is a scenario that is prone to being over-thought, and is vulnerable to a lot of "why can't I...?"  Take it more or less as presented, because that's a rabbit hole that doesn't have a bottom.  ("If I know about the scenario ahead of time, why can't I just evac the HVT the day before and automatically win?", etc)

A word of advice?  If you're worried about getting near enough to the building in time to defend it, consider that the map size and terrain are all re-rollable.  This is also a good reason to have anti-infantry weapons available on your Mechs; the OPFOR infantry will be exposed between the time they land, disembark, and move to the building to enter it.

[Battlemaster]

Reroll map please.

[Darrian Wolffe]

Reroll map please.

Mountain-Medium

2 rerolls remaining.

[Battlemaster]

Please generate mission and send opfor information to my Dad

Please generate mission and send opfor information to my Dad

Are you sure?

[Battlemaster]

Reroll terrain. When I rerolled map I didn't know that VTOl's didn't have to spend additional mp to go over a level change unless it was 2 or more.
