Maybe a duel for Hegira represents a better strategy?

Could be or we load the line and play smash mouth defense

focus fire death rinse repeat

There is no way for us to stop all the units we can try to detail some mediums and lights to wolf pack and maybe drop some of the ones that push through

We can say we can do this that but terrain is going to be a factor

[Timberwolfd]

Okay, by my estimation we have a couple of significant problems. Speed and frontage.

A lot of our mechs will be slow and really slow

Viper x2 (8/12/8)

10/15
Fire Moth

On the plus side, the Fire Moth vaporizes if it gets hit, but the Ice Ferret and Vipers are full armor mechs and can take real hits.

If we assume a lance per map for frontage and distribute the 3/5 and 4/6 mechs approximately evenly, we'll have ~5/map for hold the line style turret fights. Putting the 5/8 and 6/9 mechs a little back from the line and using them as a back stop and mobile reserve gives us 11 mechs, or ~2.5/map of frontage. The first wave is 10 mechs, presumably distributed approximately evenly for 2.5/map. The best we could do is close to 3:1 focus fire if everything is in range. Note that 5 of the 9 fastest clan mechs are in the first wave. So strategy and planning should consider how best to whack those fast mechs quick, so we can increase the fire focus from 3:1 to 6:1. Which we will need to take down the Executioners and Turkina.

Guess I'm in need of some updating of custom thread

Will do both the updated mechs and the xp tomorrow

Bit preoccupied with family issue at moment

[Timberwolfd]

I think there will be a lot of updating lance and mech information after this mission.

This is the last mission of the contract, correct?

[Hat]

Also, is it worth it to put the Sherpa on the board to collect downed pilots?

It's probably a better idea to just detail a light mech for that. The Sherpa couldn't survive being shot at and it will get shot at. I think the reality of the situation is that anyone who goes down is likely to be lost either dead or captured.

Well, I don't think we'll be garrisoning the planet for the FC anymore after this mission. Maybe the Jade Falcons need some mercs?

Skaraborg has the Fastest Awesome Evar (Runs for 8 if I really need it to) a modified 9Q with WpnSpc PPC  and a Royal Thug - we're faster than we look.

Dan, what’s the write up on those Awesomes?  I looked in the custom mech thread but didn’t see an entry for them.

[Ice]

they hit like a boulder XD

Awesome Kronwall is 3/5/3, 2 PPC, GR, MASC and a searchlight.  DHS to suit.  The Thug is a stanrdard Royal Thug.  Awesome..someone 95% 9Q but instead of the ECM and SL it has two AMS and a ton of ammo.

I think the main thrust of that, Dan, was that you should post your loadouts in the custom thread immediately.  It's been up for a year and a half; you've had time.

[Ad Hoc]

Since terrain can not be rerolled there will not be any rerolls.
