Two days after the stressful and suspenseful spelunking adventure, you are now on the move to a more mobile target. The military intelligence people are still sifting through all of your active probe data to see what they can learn. So far they just know the pirates were at this mine, and did some digging. Or more like they were taking some samples to pass on to someone. The convoy the militia attacked, ended up being a counter-ambush column and the militia quickly changed from destroying the convoy to disrupting the convoy.

The disruption tactic worked. Part of the counter ambush forces were pulled off chasing the militia units has now been separated for enough to make a clean engagement possible. A recon force from the militia has followed these forces for the better part of the last 36 hours, when transmissions from the shadow unit cut off. The last they knew the ambush force had split up and hit some hidden supply caches to re-arm and repair. When the recon unit last reported the reported strength was a reinforced heavy lance. Positive IDs could not be passed along but it is know the Lance had at least one Assualt class battlemech.

The Employer wants you to skirmish with the reinforced lance with the intention of destroying it and denying the assets to the pirate forces.

Your employer at the last minute does mention that they would be having a Liaison joining you in the field. The liaison would be bringing something to help deal with the assualt mech that had been identified.

Josh
Thanks very much for taking the time to write this! Really helps the campaign feel and also helps certain types of prep.

To Kevin, CO:
IMO, the Nightsky is unsuited for the upcoming action--the wrong tool for this job. It's a knife-fighter, not a skirmisher.

1) Is there anything else in company inventory that would be a more suitable ride for this mission than the Nightsky--for instance a light or medium mech that has a ranged attack better than 10"?

2) If not, is there any chance of replacing the Nightsky main weapon with a different weapon in time for the upcoming action that would extend the main attack range to 15-21"?

Davey is tagging along on this mission. He is also willing to switch to a heavier mech in the Fools’ inventory if the CO says so. Otherwise he will use the Raven.

The Liasion will be run by Adam (current plan), the Liaison will be given special operation notes ahead of the game. Terrain is undetermined at the moment. Most of the time I don't know what the terrain will be until I get there and throw stuff on table.

Ok,
After the super slippery ice, then the suicidal pirate piloting SRM carriers, any betting the liason will be a T 800 or a shape shifting transformer with a self-detonation power of a 100 Kiloton bomb?  I say make the liason walked point.  

The Thanatos is still waiting on parts?  Amazon isn't in the future?

Beware that you don’t mix dangers from different campaigns. :-) Kevin had the IEDs, Josh does traitors. I do overwhelmingly equal forces.

Follow-up on my earlier post (from 9/19):

The Nightsky is unsuited to this mission. Would rather take one of these:

1. Alacorn
(2. Bishamon)

(Would be willing to take the Trebuchet if we have a c3 net going)

Whatever you think best for the mission.

Quick follow-up. Kevin, if you want to use the Trebuchet option, I'd like to know tonight if possible.
I don't have a lot of experience with c3 systems and would spend some book time on them Friday if there is cause.
If not, I do have other priorities.

Also Scott F the Thanatos doesnt have the LBX20 AC yet, so do you wish to still take it or take something else?  Josh fucked us its 1 day away in transit, but we have a battle first.

Did you mean Scott P?  I know a P and F look a lot alike......
I'll keep the Thanatos due to the C3 unit.

Observations...........
1st - Super Slippery Ice
2nd - Suicide SRM Carriers
3rd - Amazon doesn't deliver the LB X20 in time.....Bezos is turning over in his grave.
4th - T-800 Terminator disguised as a friendly neighborhood liason officer
Mixing campaigns or not......There is a pattern here! 

Total Paranoia Is Total Awareness!

Just FYI, Space Amazon still takes at least a week or so. 

Usually parts have to be shipped from a different system, so that’s a minimum of two weeks delivery times.

And of course the parts guy is an imbecile so you have to reorder the correct part and send back the wrong one...
