Is there a particular objective that the pc side should be made aware of as far as for the st Ives objective ? Will we know if they pass/fail their objective or if we could possibly contract breach it by destroying their objective by say artillery.

Basis is trying to figure out at what point they will willingly break contact and head south

One of my Orions is missing.  I tossed in a Toyama as a Just IN Case one is short.  The rest of the OpFor mins are loaded into one of my Privateer bags for pickup.

They won't.

Frankly, it's a game conceit, because the way to "win the scenario without actually playing" is the simply move all ally forces as far south as possible and never bother to engage the Capellan forces at all.  I have a strong motivation to ensure that sort of gamesmanship doesn't happen, namely, the scenario is supposed to be fun and engaging for all people playing, including the OPFOR, and not just for the PCs to walk in and play as little as possible.

I am assuming that we will use some hexpack buildings to make the urban area, right?

my intent was assuming that the npc allies would force contact further south to allow time for reinforcements since the objective would still be within reach. Basically fighting retreat buying time to get a new picket line set up with incoming reinforcements. I did however forget the restrictions on movement so that gonna be hard for some of them regardless good luck pc side

I have open terrain 1 and desert hills maps.  On minis, I do not guarantee color matching.  We'll just have to pay attention.  Will also bring an Orion.

I'll throw 2 cats in the bag so they'll be painted.  Who is picking the bag up from me?

 If we are using a Catapult as proxy, I can do that. I can also use my painted Cataphract as well. Along with a few other mechs now.
