Acknowledged, Freya.

Depending on Dancer's repairs from his solo mission, the only other viable option would be Midnight Lance with the Highlander from the unit reserve standing in for the Phoenix Hawk that is still in the shop. Midnight, are you interested in being called in? (Repairing the Highlander could get EXPENSIVE real quick.)

I'm flexible about being called in, whatever's in the best interest of the unit.  Midnight lance at full strength and current mods is BV: 4068, so only 70% of available BV.  The Highlander, Wolverine and Clint are 4,288, so slightly better than Midnight at full strength.  If Midnight's selected for a mission the opponents BV should account for him being short.  As a reinforcement lance you'll just need to keep that in mind.

In terms of expense, it really all boils down to salvage.  After salvage from the last mission Midnight was net -70,000 not including the bonus 25,000 for the elite mech tech.  Plus or minus 100,000 on a mission I'd say is safe to call a wash.  The number's probably bigger than that, but it's certainly within it.  If salvage is sufficient to cover the damage then it's more a question of how long do you want it to be unavailable?  I can replace the heat sinks, 2 MLs and SRM6 ammo.  Everything else including the armor is a custom order.

Now, alternatively you throw just my 2 mechs in and don't risk the Highlander.  You get some extra firepower and while Midnight takes a risk, the unit as a whole doesn't.  The two mechs together are ~2,000 BV.

There is no BV balancing for the OpFor, what you see is what you get.

I misread your CO communication post and didn't realize you were down 2 mechs at the time of this battle.

Assuming Dancer's repairs go well, Dancer will be the reinforcement lance.

Honestly if it comes down to it I can drop my LRM build in and outside of my awesome getting torn to shreds I can redeploy as Awesome/Awesome/something else for op3 easily enough.

Depending on Dancer's repairs, that may need to happen. I forgot you had so many reserve mechs, especially ones that jump.

Skaraborg Lance will be called in as reinforcement. Pick your lance configuration to optimize your capacity to contribute to Mission 3.

TCP ACK Commander.  More like two lances in one.

I'll drop my LRM support build.

Note to Lance Commanders.  I am bringing a NARC launcher, if you have NARC ammo for your launchers, load up a ton to maximize firepower and effectiveness.

What's the RSVP looking like?  If we can swing things, I'm OK with bringing both Dancer *and* Skaraborg in.

Kind of light.
5 attending
1 not
so 4 on PC side is untenable without greater attendance. Assume a few more attending that haven't voted, but we are going to be tight on bodies.

12+4 PC mechs versus 12 Opfor Mechs and 12 Opfor Vehicles would not work with 4 vs 1.
If the attendance number holds, it will probably be 2 vs 3 players
That would be 6-8 mechs per PC player and ~8 units per Opfor player.

Not sure if I responded to the poll or not.  I will be there, may need to leave  bit early because of my brother's 40th birthday.  Will likely have Ryan with me.

Steve, Dan, Bryan, and myself have said to going. I do not know who the 5th person would be (besides Jon, Rob, Brandon, Mike, or Hat).
Brandon will be there, Hat just stated he will be, I am making assumptions that both Rob and Jon are going. We will have at least 8 going as is with said assumptions.
