Re: Post Mission Three Roleplaying.
The two enemy dropships had dropped mechs at two different locations. Olaf was observing some at the East Field, location 'B' and are able to make out the distinct silouette of a Hatchetman coming down on the field. With him, a three other mechs were droping in close proximity. The Hatchetman's lancemates were a mystery to Olaf. All he was able to observe, was that they all made steady jumps down. The flickering heat signatures of jump jets in use meant that the entire lance was jump capable.
Zoe had missed the earlier action and was eager to get into the thick of it. She was farther west and settled to observe the field from the dubious cover of trees. From the edge she marked the drop locations of a lance of mechs. The largest of them, with the common silouette of a Phoenix Hawk. Too large to be a wasp or stinger, it could only be a Phoenix Hawk. The two smallest mechs drop down quick and fast, no jump jets on those mechs help to hint at what they might be. The unique silouette of a Locust was one of them, the other was a mystery. The last mech, is a mystery. All that could be observed of the last mech the flickering lights of jump jets in use.
OOC - Setup notes...
The dropships are dropping far enough apart that the players will have to split up to deal with them. I am waiting to see if Zenha returns, or will sit this fight out as well, giving her till monday to check in.
At the moment tentative mission commanders will be Pax for the Wolfpack and Olaf from the Militia...
Tentative units assignments are...
Rat Pack
25 tn - Mongoose - Pax
35 tn - Jenner - David
35 tn - Fire Starter - Henriette
Militia
40 tn - Whitworth - Olaf
30 tn - Valkyrie - Roger
35 tn - Firestarter - Zoe
Liason
25 tn - Power Loader - Lina
20 tn - Locuse - Echo
For roleplaying reason, the Rat Pack and Militia will keep unit integrity. You may assign Lina and Echo as you think best. I would suggest spliting them up between the two lances to field four mechs against your potential opponents.
You will also have to decide who will deploy to field A, and who will deploy to field B.
