So, since everyone is trying to Meta the shit out of this...may as well join in.

You aren't killing those assaults quickly.  Stop thinking about it now.

Killing order should be the Hellbringers, Kit Foxen, Summoners, Executioner, Gargoyle, everything else.  Toads if you have nothing else better to do.

Also note that the Gargoyle is goddamn scary.

Its not to meta game is just well hell scary stuff needs to die

Also I'm trying to determine how to run opfor

I expect Rob will be clear on what will cause Zell to be broken if it’s even in effect. Once it’s not, concentrated fire where it makes sense will go. I’ll be saving edge to save pilots. The equipment is far more likely to die.

Yea, we don't even know if the Jade Falcons are offering Zell at this point right?

Also, do we have confirmation that's a Gargoyle/ManO'War and not a Gladiator/Executioner? We've got mismatched nomenclature on that one.

Nope, and PCs have no concept of Zell in any case.

One of each.
Gargoyle/Man O War A - 5/8 dual ER PPC plus LPL variant
Gladiator/Executioner Prime - 4/6(8 )/4 Gauss rifle plus 2 ER LL

You aren't killing those assaults quickly.  Stop thinking about it now.

Killing order should be the Hellbringers, Kit Foxen, Summoners, Executioner, Gargoyle, everything else.  Toads if you have nothing else better to do.
I will generally agree with your kill order, Especially Hellbringers, Summoners, and Kit Fox first. After that it gets interesting. The Warhawk has the highest firepower to armor ratio of the remaining mechs, has a targeting computer, and is only a 4/6 so it won't be generating high movement mods. The Man O War is a little more lightly armored than the Timberwolf with the same movement profile and similar armament, making it higher value target. The Gladiator and Dire Wolf will be a pain all around and take a lot of killing.

The really annoying part is that with 18 mechs on our side we will probably need all of them to engage the mechs, leaving the elementals to murder the convoy itself. Which they are more than capable of. The alternative of the Hellbringers and Summoners keeping their elementals as ablative armor could suck pretty hard too.

Any input on how heavily wooded "wooded" terrain convoy map is?

Not really, no.

I expect Rob will be clear on what will cause Zell to be broken if it’s even in effect.

This is correct.

Would the elementals count towards salvage?

They should be kills and have value. Technically, for each X killed elementals we should be able to salvage Y functional battlesuits. (With Y<X)

I think I have all of the Clan stuff except maybe a Hellbringer and the Man O' War. I'll take a look over the weekend.
Paint jobs will be a bit more varied than I'd like. The only potential problems are the Executioner and Hellbringer are both in blue and tan skyline.

Phoenix is also available. It’s a short lance with 2 L1 Marauders 3Rs.
Noted. Phoenix, plan on being called in.

If I come in my marauders can concentrate fire to take down 1 maybe 2 mechs per turn
NOTE: will not be effective against elementals

You absolutely should come in your Marauders, but don't expect to take down a mech per turn. They have the firepower and pilot edge. And that's before Rob gives them any SPAs. Don't be surprised if you lose mechs.
