REMINDER OF THE BATTLEFIELD:
quote:
On the right, strung out over a
long front, is the all-too-thin skirmish line of the Eorna.
Supporting the Eorna are a small group of Megasaurus;
the Eorna have captured some of these beasts during your
absence and implanted control devices in their brains,
turning them into at least partially controllable fighting
cybots.
As soon as you return from the center lines you receive word via an Ul-Mor rider, that the Eorna skirmish line on your right flank is in serious trouble. Some new monsters have been unleashed by the Sathar, and the Eorna are totally unable to stand against them. Already they are dying and retreating. Soon these monsters will turn the flank of the Edestekai, unhinging the entire line of your
army! The Eorna desperately need your help.
As you approach the scene of the crisis, you are able to see several of the huge monsters. They are enormous cybots, apparently part reptilian, part robot. They are rampaging through the Eorna front. This hideous creation of the Sathar has a huge metallic head with eyes that blaze firth laser beams. Flames shoot from its "mouth" which is full of horrid metallic teeth. The creature's appearance suggests the name: cybodragon!
While you are dispatching a desperate call for reinforcements, you see a Sathar ground vehicle roar up behind one of the cybodragons. Two Sathar technicians emerge from the vehicle and the cybodragon comes to a halt. The technicians slither up the sides of the now stilled beast and remove a plate from the back of its head. An object is removed from inside, and another inserted in its place. The technicians get back into their vehicle and the monster continues its attack. The technicians head for the next cybodragon. It is obvious that the power required by such a creation is enormous. That Sathar vehicle holds the supply of extra power packs! The only way to halt the cybodragon attack is to destroy or capture that truck immediately.
SITUATION: The Sathar have attacked the weakest point of the Volturnus forces' line with their cybodragons. At this instant, the cybodragon nearest you has ceased attacking, awaiting new power packs from the Sathar mobile supply unit (the ground truck). Of course, there is still sporadic firing, and the cybodragon is still a formidable foe, for it retains its flame thrower and melee
capabilities. Once recharged, its laser weapons will also function again.
GOAL: You must destroy or capture the mobile supply unit. This will prevent the Sathar from providing new power packs for the cybodragon. It will also give an example to the other troops, for it enough such trucks can be knocked out, the
Sathar forces will soon be out of ammunition!
Here is the map. On this map, ignore the #4 and related icons/arrows. You are looking at #3 with the related eorna forces.
You are approaching from the point where the word "highway" is. You still have the recoiless rifle, but it is not set up yet (1 turn to set up).
The refueling truck will take one turn to reach the cybodragon. It is approaching from the bottom area of the ancient road. After reaching the southern cybodragon, it must remain with it for 4 turns before refueling is complete. You have essentially 5 rounds to make a go of this. There are 10 sathar, 2 at each of the places marked, and two on the truck.
