Mission 11: The Search

Date: August 3063

Location: Menkalinan FWL (Class C)


Menkalinan is an unremarkable world in the FWL.  Its primary export is lumber.   It was recently restored to the FWL as part of operation Guerrero.    The planet has its local militia but no name units, and no battlemech forces are stationed here.   Given the present state of the Chaos March, the Planetary Governor has hired you to shoot some trouble for him.


It’s long been personal between you and the blue meanies.  So you elect to follow the governors advice. You will be searching the Zhuoxi badlands for the person of, or signs of the person of Olivia Clarke. Blue  Meanies are active in the area.  They are to be destroyed.  The locals however have been strong allies of the governor, so you are not to destroy their buildings.  The governor also indicates that the blue meanies may have infantry and or mechwarriors using these compounds against the will of their owners, and would be much obliged if you could help with the clearing.


There are a total of 9 places you have to investigate: six compounds and three camp sites.  You must either park a mech next to each or preferably deposit infantry in the buildings to search them.  The screwy local geology makes using probes, drones, and other high tech gizmos useless.  Once a compound is secured (i.e. free of enemy infantry/units) it can be searched in one turn, with a guarantee of finding information or Olivia if she’s there.  Planting a mech next to a compound gives the locals a chance to sneak a message to you.  The more turns any mech ends adjacent next to a compound, the more likely you are to find information.  If you hold the field, and force Mean Ultramarine to withdraw you will get the info you seek.


Objectives:

  • retrieve olivia clarke and/or find information about where she is being kept
  • free the locals
  • drive off the blue meanies
Players:
Allen
Tom
Devin

AA Forces:
600 Tons

Additional Rules:

You may hire mercenary (RB) infantry at 1 Ton per Ton (not the usual 0.67) and (heavy) wheeled or tracked at the same rate if you don’t feel you have enough of either to fulfill the mission parameters.


You may hire mercenary (RB) infantry at 1 Ton per Ton (not the usual 0.67) and (heavy) wheeled or tracked at the same rate if you don’t feel you have enough of either to fulfill the mission parameters.

Hi Kam,

Quick question

1. Does a unit need to spend the whole turn next to a building (no move) or just end the turn next to a building to get information?

end the turn.  but the more turns you end there the more info you'll get.  (different mech can be adjacent to different buildings)

Hey Kam,

Just want to be clear.  Allen stated "unit" and you corrected to "Mech".  Is it Mech only that can gain information or also vehicles?

Thanks!

vehicles can get the info as well.  Anything that gets info has to get off the board or survive to the end of the game.

Are you guys going to post some forces, or should I pick a few things for you at random?

We have a list, but I haven’t heard from Devin—I was going to bug him about it today and post tomorrow.

Sorry, just replied!

Headsup though: L's got covid again. I'm staying isolated in my office and am negative so far.  If that changes, I'll let y'all know and won't be at the game, naturally.

You know what? It’s kind of fun running a game with random units.

Plot!

Reminds me when we dropped those poor infantry in the river of undetermined depth to see who would sink or swim...

I humbly beseech those of you with pewter collections to bring a few extra minis with you if you can.  These should be the minis we need for AA/Merc units tomorrow:

Infantry x6
Heavy Wheeled APC x2
Harasser
Regulator
Drillson
Maxim
Jenner (optional, I can always proxy with my Raven, since everyone knows that's my commander)

I'm pretty sure Thomas has minis for all his mechs now, but he can chime in with anything else he might need.

Many thanks,

Allen

I've got an unpainted better-plastic Jenner from the 35th anniversary box I can bring.

I have Josh's box of magnificent lead miniature mechs (and Vehicles) of DOOOOM!  
Within I see the three mechs I'll be using
2 hover vehicles that are close matches to my Regulator + Harasser
I also see 3 wheeled APC looking units as well. (Purple, pink and teal)

I don't see any Jenner or Infantry units, sorry!
I have clicks infantry units haha but I think they are too large :(
