FYI, I will have to leave this game early; I need to be in Evandale no later than 4:45.  As such, I would like to de-nominate myself for reinforcement duty unless there's nobody else who can take it.

I will still be supplying *stuff* - I'm just going to come back to Dan's house after I'm done and pick things up.

I'll post here, though it applies to both Missions given reinforcement and current play conditions.  Midnight can provide the following:

Moonless Night
WHM-6Rx Warhammer (4/6/4), ER PPC, ER LL, SRM 6, 2 ML, 2 SPL, near max armor, CO (4/4, Enviro Spec: Darkness, Blind Fighter)
SHD-2Hb-X Shadow Hawk (5/8/5) [down 1 DHS to add the +2 JJ], XO Penny Roark (3/4, Blind Fighter, EDG: 1)
STG-3G Stinger (6/9/6) 2 ML, Pilot Zefry Cochrane (2/3, Enviro Spec: Hills, Eagle Eyes, Fist Fire)
  PXH-1-X Phoenix Hawk (6/9/6) ER LL, DHS, better armor Pilot: Miles Lassiter (3/4, Blind Fighter, EDG: 1)
      OR
  PXH-HK1 Phoenix Hawk LAM (5[15]/8[23]/5) ER LL, DHS, slightly better armor Pilot: Carey Fletcher (3/4 / 4/3, Blind Fighter, EDG: 1)

Otherwise I'd bring my current standard config:
WHM-6Rx Warhammer (4/6/4), ER PPC, ER LL, SRM 6, 2 ML, 2 SPL, near max armor, CO (4/4, Enviro Spec: Darkness, Blind Fighter)
TDR-5S-LX Thunderbolt (4/6/4) 2 PPC, 3 ML, 2 Streak 2, Isabella Corte (3/4, Oblique Attacker, EDG: 1)
PXH-HK1 Phoenix Hawk LAM (5[15]/8[23]/5) ER LL, DHS, slightly better armor Pilot: Carey Fletcher (3/4 / 4/3, Blind Fighter, EDG: 1)
STG-3G Stinger (6/9/6) 2 ML, Pilot Zefry Cochrane (2/3, Enviro Spec: Hills, Eagle Eyes, Fist Fire)

If you have better choices for reinforcements that's fine.

Fight consists of Dunedain and Wolverine, both of which are in their own mission.
Scout consists of Midnight, Dancer (who is already in scenario), and Freya (who opted out of being reinforcement.)
That just leaves Midnight as the only viable option. Looking at SPAs, darkness would work, given our current conditions.

The only clan mech that has searchlight is the Loki (natural quirks anyway, and of list provided).
Between us, I believe it is just the longbow, rifleman, and Warhammer that have it among the lances provided. (Not sure of those that have it equipped as custom or in artwork fluff.)

I also have Phoenix Lance set as being on Fight assignment, FWIW.

I was about to ask that. What about Bright?

Bright is assigned to Defense when a Defense Lance is in Training, and is assigned to Scout when a Scout Lance is in Training.  The current Training Lance is Reaper (Defense), putting Bright in the Defense Role.

Note as well that Reaper can be pulled out of Training and immediately assigned wherever necessary, since all the minimum Role numbers are currently being met.

Fair enough. With the number of mechs compared to the other mission, I feel that Midnight is still best option.

Midnight is a good choice, we are definitely going to need Dancer and Freya for the other mission. Them airdropping on top of the convoy will be painful. The real question is whether you guys are going to reroll light.

The payload on the two PHawks is nearly identical with the LAM having 4 ML rather than 2 ML and 2 SPL. Both have the ERLL. If we think we’re going to have the space and need for Air-Mech mode I’ll bring the LAM. If not, 6/9/6 provides better tactical flexibility than 5/8/5. It likely waits until board generation.  Midnight will arrive at the beginning of turn 2 in any case.

I'm ok being pulled from training for either mission. I am still getting my lance up to date in timeline but should be done by this weekend. I should also have at least one heavy mech I could deploy. Arrival time round 3.

Rob, correct me if I am wrong here, but if Reaper is recalled from training, doesn't it come in without ammo and all sorts of other inconvenient things? Or is that only when attacked in the field.
Either way, Reaper will officially be recalled from training and assigned to Scout since the Scout lances will need the cover while they repair (if they get their mechs out).

I am probably going to have to remove moonless night as well since most of our allies cannot jump.
