Side note: I will not be at this game.  I'll be on a film set actually doing work, so, sorry in advance.

Is the requirement to keep ENEMY base turrets alive correct?

Obviously not.  It displayed the text for the Defender version, not the Attacker version.  Reloading the save fixed it.  Correct version is posted above.

Short-range turrets just seem like such a non-factor though... unless the enemy hides behind buildings and puts the turrets in cover as well.

Who are eligible reinforcements? If Wolverine is the only one he probably wouldn't be able to do the solo mission the day before. He only has one backup mech.

They’re time sinks and hazards used to keep fire away from other things and prevent a rush to short range.  Basically an opportunity cost if you want to use any tactics that would be within their range.

Unrestricted, though because you do have a full Allied Lance I'll suggest strongly that you limit yourself to only a single Lance.

Everyone but Freya.

Go ahead and generate the scenario. I think Ice lance will make a good reinforcement choice.

Note that the first Crusader, Rifleman, Blackjack and Orion are advanced variants. The BJ-3 just has DHS, the others mount XLs with more equipment.
