Mission 10: Hinting Hard

Date: July 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.


Mr Teal is working hard on various parts of the planetary bureaucracy to take over your contract.  The planetary governor is very displeased about this.  He thinks that Liao sympathizers in his bureaucracy as well as in the upper class of Menkalinan society are plotting to overthrow him.  His intelligence chief has learned the Mean Aquamarine (The Blue Meanies) are refurbishing an underground facility adjacent to the town of Guangfu.  The Blue Meanies are delivering men and materiel to the facility, and if this can be disrupted, the governor feels this particular problem can be quashed.  Importantly if you can dislodge or destroy enemy forces defending the facility, his own troops will be able to do the rest of the cleaning out.


Intel reports from the field show that Mean Aquamarine are having issues with the remnants of other forces you’ve defeated or dispersed here on Menkalinan. This has forced them to have escorts for their dwindling number of transports. They also have alert forces on station to respond to attacks.


Recon photos of the area may become available soon.


Objectives:

  • disable/destroy incoming shipments
  • destroy/disable/drive off blue meanie forces on station
  • do not destroy Guangfu
Additional Rules:
Guangfu is paved.  It may be traversed as normal along the road.  Normal stacking rules apply. The buildings on either side of the road are level 1, 15 CF (light).  Movement in any direction but on the road counts as moving through the buildings.

All trees are light woods.

All water is depth 1 unless otherwise noted.

Blue Meanies are under forced withdrawal
 
AA Forces:
650 Tons

Players:
  • Thomas
  • Josh
  • Allen

I show you guys as adding up to 629 not 649.  I think there might be an extra 20 tons in FF that went somewhere.  

Please let me know if you want to adjust.

This is my fault.  Let's make the following changes:

  • Add FF Alpha Motorized LB10X Infantry
  • Swap PF Drillson for PF Maxim with SRM6 Inferno rounds
  • Add G.U.M.S. Foot LRM Infantry and load into PF Maxim

That should put us right at 650; If it puts us over, just add the FF infantry and ignore the other changes.

My 5 different Battletech spreadsheets say I should have all of Thomas’ mechs down here. My Harassers are North however. I’ll take some time and see if I can track things down.

 

One of these weeks I need to buckle down and comprehensively inventory my Battletech stuff.

 

As Chris often said, “The task that never ends….”

Spreadsheet #6 shows I do have a couple primed Harassers down here after all. ><

I have delved both greedily and deep…. ><

 

Turns out I have 4 Tonbos. What the hell do I need 4 Tonbos for? No idea, but they’re there.

 

I have all Thomas’ minis pulled. I’ll need to build the Kyudo, but everything’s tracked down.

 

Kam, infantry should be all we need.
