See >>11170049

Curse mightily!

Gather our wounded and heavily damaged suits from all the teams, including infantry. Order them to pull out with hovis to secure the feddie tech, report mission status and get reinforcements to come after us.

All remaining forces move to support the midnight fenrir.

>>11170245
SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER
GUN THAT FUCKER DOWN

>>11170245

I think it's time for a DYNAMIC ENTRY

Zolomon Style.

Swear. Viciously.

Next, we need an immediate sitrep on our team, and then try to get a signal through to Cima's team.

Best-case scenario is that we get a transmission through, and that we can both double-time it to aid Midnight Fenrir, destroy the GHQ and kill a pair of Gundams in one action.

>>11170305

So, that'll be Hovis, Elaine, Jolyne and Zolomon possibly trying to reach the surface and get an extraction (presumably from the Outer Heaven)
With you, Calvin, Bernard and you going to assist the Midnight Fenrir?

>>11170331

Also, I notice that The newtype girl, Nell? Is now included in our Opening Image. Is she going to be a more peramenet attachment to our squad soon, or will we have to go rescue a little girl to prevent her brain from beign cut up into an EXAM system?

>>11170362

I'd say yes. Also, what is the possibility of getting a signal to Cima to assist us?

>>11170362
And anyone else in the Mashiba team that's in good shape.

>>11170362
Plus Cima's team, yes.

Also the evac squad should be under orders to wreck as much shit as Zeonically possible on the way out.

>>11170362

I would expect zolomon to refuse orders to pull out anyways. He should come with us. The others should pull link up with thode wounded from cirma's team and go together.

Those moving to engage the feddies need to meet up with the remainder of cirma's group and nimbus before advancing.

someone remind me what our current weapons/ amo count is?

>>11170429

Mrph, good idea. Even sans beam guns, Zol is still pretty cash in a Hygogg.

Linking p with Cima's unit is critical. In addition to being another opportunity to hit on her, Gyan marines have Beam Lances, which we'll need to help us get past the blasted Luna Titanium armour on those Gundams.

>>11170464

Hell, we might even get lucky and finish off Bandit before we have to retreat...

>>11170383
>>11170388
>>11170389

You ask for an ETA from Cima's team.

"Were coming in from the north commander, that means that we'll encounter the Midnight Fenrir before you do. If we hurry we can meet you there."

You order Zolomon, Elaine, Jolyne and Hovis to take their busted suits back to the Outer Heaven for repair.

"Midnight Fenrir mentioned that they'd captured an MS entrance lift, try to secure that or find some other way." You suggest.

Then, over the radio.

"This is Lt. Alsace of the 123rd Company! We've gained entrance at grid refference B-17 after capturing a Starship hangar port, can I get and friendly signals?"

The signal is becoming crackly, due to the gradually rising level of Minovsky Particles. Using the map you can see that this hangar would make the 123rd ideally placed to either help the Midnight Fenrir, Hold the Hangar bay which would make for an easier escape to the surface for your damaged units, or split their forces trying to do both.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11170501
Signal them, ask for a sitrep and force composition.

>>11170501

Are we aware of the 123rd's current composition?

Personally, I wold advise them to hold the hangar bay. Having a secure line of withdrawl is critical in a mission like this, and MF + Cima + Us should be able to not die too badly against whatever gets thrown at us down here, short of Amuro.

Other than that, stick to the current plan.

>>11170501

Can we get zolomon refusing to pull out?

Also order them to hold the chokepoint and secure the area. It is critical that we funnel our units into the depths of jaburo. Sending redshirts to assault a gundam is ordering a suicide mission.

>>11170501

I'd say have them hold the Hangar, then have our unit link up with Cima's to rape a gundam.

Also, mandatory flirting. We can ask for a detailed account of her side of the mission in private later.

Giggity.

>>11170433

Your Beam Carbine is has about 2 bursts left and 3 reloads. You're running low.
You have 3 Cracker Grenades left and 1 Stick-Bomb.

The Z'Gok E reports about 50% of onboard E-Clip capacity spent and the Gundannon-4 that you captured reports that the Beam Spraygun has about 20 shots left, and the Shoulder Cannon has about 10 (out of a starting 50.)

>>11170501
Have our damaged team head for the new opening. If it's a starship grade port it'll be easier to get a pickup provided the AA guns around it on the surface have been cleared. If it can be kept open it'll also make it easier for our team to get back in and save our asses.

>>11170531
>>11170544
>Are we aware of the 123rd's current composition?

You ask for a Sitrep from the 123rd.

"Uh, were down to 6 suits. 3 Zaku's a pair of Gouf's and a Kampfer, although were all getting low on ammo. I've signalled for an ammo drop, but the Gaw squadrons give me at least a 10 minute ETA."

>>11170553

Erk. Ammo is an issue. Are there any Extra Beam spray guns, GM MGs or GM Bazookas on destroyed units in the area? If so, we should appropriate as many of them as possible. Save the Beam gun for the Gundams.

>>11170591

Wtfffff!!!
Why did we not get dibbs???

>>11170612

Because we got Gelgoogs instead?

>>11170591
Ammo shouldn't be much of an issue for the Goufs, so we could requisition those two to come help us. The Kaempfer would be a fantastic addition, but if it's running low on ammo it'll be next to useless after a few volleys.

I suggest we detail Elaine and Jo to reinforce them while we steal their Goufs. They can stay at the hanger and secure it until the ammo drop, at which point they become our reserve.

>>11170594
use leftover amunition that isnt usable and try to stick it to the grenades as an improvised explosive we gonna need alot of firepower, some huge explosions would help

>>11170594

There are no dropped GM weapons nearby. Even if there were, only your suit (and now hovis) have the ports and reactor to power Beam Weapons.

>>11170591
Alright then. Kampfer with no ammo is useless pretty much, but everything else seems good. I'm still all for keeping them at the hangar while we do our thing with Cima and MF.

>>11170687

Let them rearm and reload.

They can be our reserve.

>>11170626

You aks if their two Goufs can go aid the Midnight Fenrir unit whilst you attack from the south and the Mashiba Team attack from the north. The Lieutenant agees, you order Zolomon and Jolyne to replace the missing suit and to hold that Hangar Bay.

"Roger!"

They head of in one direction whilst you quickly march off in another. With a bit of luck, they're might be something of Midnight Fenrir left to rescue...

BRB DINNER.

Us lot with the gelgoogs and such go out and fire a couple pot shot s at the gundam hold it off for long enough so the kampfer and the others can reload at the hanger. Then once they're ready we pull back luring the gundam back to the hangar and as a combined force rip it to peices with all the amo we have left

>>11170656

Very well. We should keep a close eye out for any dropped weapons en route to the MF team, however.

>>11170698
This goes without saying. I feel like they should be able to hold out for at least 10 mins against anything except a MAJOR attack. Once their rearmed, they could be a useful asset for getting our people out and reequipped so then we have a 2nd wave of attackers when facing Mr. Luna Titanium Ass over there.

>>11170712

Do we have an idea of what nimbus is up to?

>>11170717

We... uh... don't actually have Gelgoogs for this fight.

>>11170687

On the other hand, the Kaempfer has a pair of Beam Sabers, so it's still useful even with no ammo. I'd be more concerned about it's limited operational time compared to the Goufs and Zakus.

>>11170717
I'm a little iffy at using the Geloogs. They're the only models we have besides Ramba Ral's one and we don't want to lose them/get them horribly fucked up because replacement parts are practically nonexistant. Still, for shock and awe factor, there is nothing like screaming down and all "WHERE IS YOUR GUNDAM NOW" while we rip shit up with beam naginatas and whatnot.

Tentative yes for this plan of action I guess.

>>11170779
And it's (in)ability to take and survive hits.

>>11170761
oh... right mybad
> WE DO NOW BWHAHAH

>>11170782

We're in an Act Zaku. Everyone else has Hygoggs or Z'Goks for this fight.

If we were in our best suits, namely 3 Dowdages, 2 Gelgoogs, the Act Zaku and the Rhino, we'd have already turned Jaburo inside out.

>>11170812

I still dont understand the impetus in not bringing our A game tot his dance...

... and somebodies insistence that we fire through supporting stone formations in order to kill enemy MS...

Oh well, nothing to do about that now...

>>11170883

We snuck in through the water ways.

>>11170890
cause we ninja gundamz

Hey OP, whats with the Shin Kazama logo from AREA88?

pic related.

You know, given we already have most of the most powerful non-Gundam MS of the OYW, all we really have left to upgrade to in terms of suits is a Galbaldy alpha. From then on, it's into Titans-era territroy. Which is here be dragons stuff.

Unless there's some spiffy non-Zeong newtype suits I don't know about.

>>11170890

We still could have brought in the Gelgoogs right?

Also, what are our ground pounders doing?

On a side note, our gropos are getting medals.

>>11170883
>I still dont understand the impetus in not bringing our A game tot his dance...

We had to infiltrate via waterways, that meant bringing a majority of Marine type MS.

>>11170923

Jesus christ. How will anyone ever catch up?

Nevermind, no going back in time. Lets do this then.

>>11170946
Assuming we can get past Gihren blowing up all of Pezun's research, there's the various Gelgoog variants to go through. A Jaeger or two would make us fairly unstoppable.

>>11170995

Since we're in AU, some changes are needed. Like getting high command to issue beam guns to gyans. If they can support the beam lance, they can support beam guns.

Also, let's see if pezun can integrate the beam gun into the lance. We'll have a weapon that took the CV years to develop.

>>11171121
Then again the Rick Dom II in 0080 is capable of 1.38 G compared to the 0083 stats of 0.70 G.

>>11171099

We need to have a Gyandom, a Gundom, a Gungoog, a Zakdam, And any other lame Zeon-gundam jokes I can think of at the moment.

>>11171124
Someone impersonating me! I feel so honored.

Seriously though, I'm sure we can find better ways to spend Apologized's break then throwing tantrums.

>>11171156
Those were refits and patchworks cobbled together by the Delaz Fleet. I'm willing to bet the majority of their units worked at less then optimum efficiency. It's the entire reason for the existence of the gigantic piece of crap that is the Dra-C.

>>11171146
>>11171170

And it seems someone's impersonating me, too. Bloody hell. The one time in months I bother to namefag...

Was there any other MS on the OH we could roll out besides repairing Zolomon's and crews Hygoogs. Since we have some surface routes open and no more waterways to swim through we should roll out any Gelgoogs or Dowdages we have.

Since this is the Jaburo fight the time to throw in our ace in the hole is now.

>>11171170
So, while we have an idea on what we're going to do (kick Gundam ass and take names, pull MF's bacon out of the fire), do we have any idea on the HOW?

>>11171217
We inserted using it at the beginning of the op. If I remember right, Apologized said last thread that it's empty at the moment.

>>11171234

Yeah, and we don't have the time for it to bring us new suits. We have to make do for now.

>>11171230

The only thing that comes to mind is newtype hax and beamsapn. And explosions. Preferably a jaburo sized one.

>>11171230

Well, we don't know the exact composition of the enmy force, nor the layout of the battlefield around the GHQ. So precise plans are tricky right now.

Metagaming, we do know there's the Mudrock, the G3, and an unspecified number of grunt suits, as well as heavy conventional defences. At the moment, our best plan is to gang up and gank the Gundams before they can whittle us down, and then deal with the GMs and finally the fixed defences.

>>11171230
Try to surprise it while it is zigging and zagging around the Midnight Fenrir team's attacks. If we can have them lure it out somewhere we can pour fire on it that would be nice.

The red-shirt Goufs could be used to harry and harass while the Midnight Fenrir guys close off the Gundam's ability to retreat. Maybe make the Gundam think the best place to fall back would be right where David's Act Zaku is waiting to get a nice point blank shot on it.

So the Gundam production facility is toast, and we've put holes all over Jaburo, but we're low on ammo, and a bit damaged?

Finish current fighting and pull the hell out to reload and repair.

>>11171274

Without metaing, we only confirmed a single gundam. (Mudrock is unconfirmed)

We also did send in the FAE bomb so we can expect any static defences to have sustained minor to significant damage.

Our crackers are no use against MSs, especially gundams. Suggest we use the against any remaining fixed defences immediately.

>>11171308
Parts of Jaburo are toast with their production hampered. The annoying modular design is making complete takeover the only real method of knocking the place out completely. If we can push to the GHQ we may be able to force a surrender, especially since the urban fighting experts of the Midnight Fenrir are right next to the place with Cima's team and ours closing in.

Back.

You and the rest of your squad force march towards the combat zone. There appears to be plenty of cover up ahead, stone pillars and several large stalagmites that a Mobile Suit could use for light cover.
Unless those are the ones that droop down, in which case they're stalagtites.

You can still see and hear fighting up ahead, looks like you made it in time. The Minovsky concentration is heavy, you can't get any radar or radio signal here. You carefully advance forwards, using the terrain as cover, the rest of your squad following you.

"Sonar is picking up one target making a whole lot of noise, and several other possible contacts. It's hard to tell, that one guy is putting out a LOT of noise." Calvin reports.

Carefully following round you follow the sounds of Bazooka Fire and the distinctive sound of 90mm SMG fire and luckily manage to find your allies. The Midnight Fenrir.

After identifying yourself, you make laser-com contact with their commander, in a Zaku 1 (command variant) armed with a 880 Bazooka and holding a GM's Lunar Titanium shield that he got somewhere.

"If it isn't the infamous Nachtmaren Unit! I'm Lt.Commander Scmitzer and this is Manning and Fran. The Gundam is acting in support of GM squads, but he doesn't seem to bright, the GM's have been forced into cover over to the western side of this battlefield, whilst he keeps breaking cover looking for us."

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11171377

Kraker grenades?

Kraker grenades.

>>11171377
Yes, grenades. If he's so eager to be flushed out then oblige him and catch him in crossfire.

>>11171377

Agar is a moron.

We need to lure him out into the open, away from his support, and then have all of us and MF alpha-strike him. A mission-kill is fine for now, since it'll let us take on him and the G3 one at a time.

>>11171400

We only have one krak. We better save it.

Setup ambush. Ask for team status. Where is cirma's team?

>>11171377
How stable are the ceilings in here? If we could shoot some support columns they're using for cover...

Nah better hold off on that. Spread out and be prepared to bracket that Gundam with fire, beam and otherwise, the next time he breaks cover. He's bound to try dodging in some direction. What's he armed with?

>>11171377
If the Gundam is being foolish enough to break cover to find the Fenrir guys then it really is handing itself to us. Let's lure it out with a promise of an easy kill and dogpile it with liberal amounts of beamspam.

In conjunction with the Goufs we move up like we are about to throw ourselves at the GMs (we use cover of course and have a plan to retreat to the ambush zone). When the Gundam decides to jump out and wreck us we start hopping back as if in fear and right into the Midnight Fenrir's trap.

If Cima is here she can help make sure no GMs try to break through to help the Gundam.

>>11171377
Distance?
If hes that stupid throw grenades over to force them out of cover and posibly nuke a few gm's

>>11171472
We may be able to save the grenades for a sure-shot kill if the Gundam pilot's hubris will bring him out for us.

>>11171472
oh are there any nearby stalagtites near em? shoot a few maybe we can break some heads/Discombobulate ftw

>>11171430
>>11171436

>We only have one krak. We better save it.

You have 3 Cracker Grenades. You have 1 Zaku scale Stick-Bomb which I have likened to a Krak Grenade to the Cracker's Frag.

Does that clear things up, or make them worse?

>>11171456

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/zeonicfront/rx-78-6.htm

It's basically the bastard child of the Guncannon and a Dom. Overgunned, but if we can negate his mobility advantage, the pilot is enough of an idiot that we should be able to control the flow of the fight.

>>11171400
Indeed.

We should also try to take the Gundam in as few pieces as possible. If it's too troublesome just scrap 'im though.

>>11171489
Last time we did stuff like that we lost a MA and damaged the entire team. If we do that we better make sure the structure's roof will hold.

>>11171377
The way I see it we need to secure a path of extraction and hold it; from there we can either get ammo drops, or exfiltrate if we suddenly get BANDIT+AMURO'D
This Jaburo Assault can't press on for much longer without ammunition, so we'll need to pause a bit before we hit the HQ.

>>11171456
>How stable are the ceilings in here? If we could shoot some support columns they're using for cover...

It's hard to tell for sure, plus, remember what happened last time you brought the roof down?

>>11171501
At this point in the game I would rather just destroy anything the Feds throw at us than trying to be careful in softly killing a dangerous enemy. We are too close to the goal of capturing/destroying the GHQ to fiddle with "I wanna gundam."

>>11171491

Thought he was referring to the stick bomb.

If its standard cracker then, by all mean, smoke'em out.

Don't forget you still have Calvin on your team.

>>11171527
If we can remove this gundam and his team of GMs we will have a clear path from the surface straight to the frontline assaulting the GHQ if our team going back for repairs are successful in meeting up with the OH. Supplies can flow right to us as long as we can hold this area.

>>11171579
Is he in a Hygoog? He might be able to use his recon knowledge to set grenade traps for the Gundam if we are able to lure it out into an ambush site.

Hygoogs have pretty good manipulators right?

>>11171583
Flush out that Gundam.

Are there any David Lister or Zolomon Ringo-sized tarps around the place anywhere?
If someone can draw the Gundam into a David + Zolomon ambush, no more Gundam.

>>11171540
You see that's why I included the ever-important bit at the end.
>If it's too troublesome just scrap 'im though.

>>11171579

Wasn't it calvin and bernie? A pair of Z'Goks?

Or are you referring to his sensor-hax? I'd think the Mudrock's jets are making a fuckton of interference, but hmmm. Having him keep an eye out for enemies attempting to take us in the rear?

>>11171610
well...

>>11171610

No, he's in a Z'Gok E

>>11171377

If this guy is really that much of an idiot, maybe we could taunt him or something to pull him away from his fellow idiots.

Anyways, what kind of cover are they hiding behind?

>>11171620
>>11171583

You could opt to wait for your reinforcements to arrive. The Mashiba Team must have been delayed in some way.
But then again, you might want to advance simply to retake the initiative.

>Heh

>>11171627
So very mean beams then. He could certainly help David in luring out the Gundam by making sure said Gundam doesn't just up and slaughter the poor ol' Act Zaku while its zigging and zagging to lure him out.

I vote for throwing some grenades behind the Gundam after we've lured it out of its hiding.

We really can't expect to kill it, thus it would be sensible to knock it around enough to make it an easier target.

>>11171630
>maybe we could taunt him or something to pull him away from his fellow idiots

"Listen feddie punk, give up now and maybe you'll live long enough to get bitch slapped by your Mom when this is over!"

>>11171646
With the Midnight Fenrir team here plus even our paltry team we actually have a pretty good force to take on this guy and his buddies. Especially if we can lure the Gundam out all by his lonesome.

>>11171666

We don't even have to hurt it if we could find someway of trapping it or have it chase after ghosts. Just no more Blue Destiny. It's bad enough with unit 1. I shudder at the thought of them having 2 or 3 operational.

>>11171646

I think that's the best course of action. We need to avoid being surrounded and overwhelmed.

Immediate course of action is to lure out Agar into a crossfire, whether through baiting, grenades or taunts. Then mopping up the GMs will be easy.

(Actually , I have half a mind to think that Cima's team may have run into the G3. They stand half a chance in Gyan Marines, but if they're still not here by the time we're done with the Mudrock, we should move to find them.)

>>11171666
Wouldn't that be accomplished even better by throwing them at the Gundam? He might even try and do something silly like grab the grenade to throw it back.

>>11170241

>>11171701
At the very least we should ping them over the comms after this, but our ammo bins will probably be completely dry after dropping Agar. We may not have anything left to assist the Mashiba team with.

>>11171701
Second.

>>11171669

See, I'm hesitant about that because from what Apologized has said, it sounds like they don't exactly know where we are and giving away our position would be bad.

Still, it's hard to pass up an opportunity. Since this is Gundam and all, the guy piloting it has probably had his wife/mom/girlfriend/pineapple salad killed by something Zeon. SO, we should do this:

1) Insert necrophilia innuendo/imply it was us
2) Gundam Charges
3) ????
4) IT'S ZOLOMON TIME

>>11171773

Didn't Zol go with the hangar team?

Also, Apologized, are the Goufs here yet?

>>11171773
Zolomon was still getting repairs I thought. It's us, Calvin, and Bernie I think.

>>11171784
>>11171801

Ach. Well, we still have us and enough firepower to at least make it a mission kill.

>>11171712

Frankly no.
First off - it's a Gundam. The grenade won't do squat.

Second, he's probably fast enough to move away from a grenade in front of him but trhowing it behind him will probably make him either flee towards us or jump upwards, meaning that we can caluclate his action better.

Third grenades behind him land between him and the GMs, which are not made of Lunar Titanium. They'll hunker down, robbing him of some support.

>>11171835
nuke the gm's with the grenades?

>>11171662
>>11171666
>>11171684
>>11171701
>>11171695

You opt to reposition yourself and then ready a Cracker Grenade to try and draw your opponent out. You toss the grenade into the open area in front of you, past the stalagmite/tites that you're using as cover.

Within seconds the explosion draws him out, a large stone pillar explodes in a shower of rocks, and from the debris flies the Gundam, it's multiple jet boosters flying around at speeds you more commonly see on a Dom.
Aside from it's shoulder cannons, the mobile suit is carrying a Gundam style Beam Rifle in one hand, and 100mm SMG in the other.

"FIRE!" you order as both of your squads open up on the enemy. Bullets, rockets and beams fill the air. Sparks fly as bullets ricochet off his armour, your beam shots craze about his lower torso, but the pilot has the idiots luck and most of the shots go between his legs aside from one that clips his leg mounted thrusters. He has to eject them before they explode, but it's still got plenty of speed.

He dashes towards the Midnight Fenrirs position, his Shoulder Cannons firing, whilst he sprays beams and bullets from his rifles at you, the bullets destroy a couple of the stalagmites your using as cover and you barely dodge the beams.

YOUR ORDERS?

>and Bernie

stalagmites point up, stalactites point down (hold tight)

>>11171870
Limiter unlock, try to get behind him. Keep firing but be ready to Heat Hawk him. Tell Bernie to keep those GM's pinned down.

>>11171870
Try to distract him so he turns to us and the Fenrir guys get a nice shot on him. Can we toss a cracker in the air to blind him as we move to more cover and try to get another shot on his thrusters to make him go spinning out of control.

Bernie and Calvin should be putting the hit on this guy but I want his attention to shift to David.

>>11171870

Get in close with it, use our superior reaction speed and skill to wreck it's shit. After all, we have magnetic coating, a beam carbine, and we aren't an idiot.

>>11171893
How? It's really unlikely he could draw a bead on Agar moving at those speeds, and a Guncannon II certainly can't keep up with the Mudrock.

>>11171870
Anyway, have the Fenrir hunker down and keep drawing his attention. Nachtmaren circles around, suppressive fire on the GM squad as opportunity allows, then strike Agar's flanks. If we can knock off his other hoverjet then at least the Act Zaku might be able to keep up with him.

>>11171870
Charge him with our boxer shield and try to get a clean shot through the cockpit. Capturing this thing would be sweet.

>>11171870

Spread out, use his reckless charge to draw him in and surround him. Idiot's luck or not, if we're shooting him from six different directions he'll find dodging a bit of a challenge.

Most importantly, give himno room to maneuver or escape.

>>11171926
His superior suit might even that out. Still lurching out might get him distracted enough to let the Fenrir guys fill his backside with rockets.

>>11171943
I like this since the Fenrir guys still have cover and we don't. We should keep an eye on the GMs and move to a new position to ambush the Gundam.

>>11171924
We broke limiter vs unit 1

>>11172034
We turned them off at the time yes. I assumed we would have turned them back on in our march across Jaburo to get here.

>>11171924
>>11171925
>>11171926
>>11171944

You opt to charge him whilst his backs turned, you order Bernie and Calvin to cover you whilst you make the charge.
You dash over no mans land, fire from enemy GM's spraying around you, you hear beam fire from behind you as your wingmen begin firing back.

The Midnight Fenrir team are naturally more concerned with the charging Gundam. You struggle to catch up with the Mobile Suit which leaps over the stalagmites they're using for cover and they scatter to avoid his close range fire. Behind them you see a new pair of Gouf's must be the the MS from 123rd company.
They charge forwards, braving your opponents fire, a beam shot shears on of their legs whilst the other uses his shield to defend against the 100mm shells and with his Heat Saber drawn he strikes at the Gundams arm, it staggers backwards as sparks fly from his forearm he used to defend with. You dash in, Heat Hawk drawn, and strike at his torso, sparks fly and the blade cuts into the lunar titanium, but it's not a lethal blow and you can't fire your Beam Carbine without risking hitting the Gouf on the other side.

>>11172100
Angle that shit & shred his legs.

>>11172100
Pull out the heat hawk, shove the carbine's barrel into the tear and fucking UNLOAD

>>11172161
This also works.

>>11172123

Try to get the engines before anything else.

>>11172100
Now that we have his attention we should blast his legs and tumble into cover. Being so close is to the Gundam is going to make the Fenrir guys hold their fire in fear of hitting us. We tumble away and they can blow this guy away while his attention is on David.

>>11172161
I like that

>>11172123
THIS! Wreck his engines/ leg thrusters whatever.

And yell at the Goufs to heat rod the fucker!

>>11172100
Can we jam the stick bomb onto his suit, preferably in a weak spot or joint?

>>11172100

Your opponent uses his thrusters to turn to face the Gouf, pulling the lodged Heat Hawk with him. You let go, letting him have it and ready your Boxer Shield.
You plant a resounding punch on his back, you see exhaust and thruster verniers crumple under the blow. His Shoulder guns extend forward and there is blast from both.
The recoil, coupled with forward fitted thrusters causes him to ram into you backwards, forcefully pushing you into a stone column.
You're shaken in your seat, and your computer tells you that the impact has worsened your earlier damage.

There's an explosion nearly point blank, and the Gundam is thrown to right back into no man's land, it's left arm flying in the air, severed from the 880mm Rocket impact from the Midnight Fenrir.

You turn your suits head to see that the double cannon blast has blown both of the remaining Gouf's arms off and it's on it's ass belching smoke, whilst the GM's supporting the Gundam are advancing, despite your teams covering fire.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11172229
Stickbomb might be too big. Still, if we can slap one onto a damaged spot at close range..... :3c

Also Heat Rods!

>>11172229
oh oh that one works too!
Jam the stickbomb into the tear and boot him away from you

>>11172237
STICKBOMB & PUMMEL THE FUCKER WITH BEAM SHOTS.

>>11172237

Shoot the heat hawk lodged in him! If it works it'll be awesome!

Only do it if it looks like it'd cause more damage to his Gundam though, of course.

>>11172237
Fire a burst into the GM's then drop some grenades on the Gundam for added confustion. Any chance one of the Goufs could still hit him with a Heat Rod or are they both completely out of action?

>>11172299

one's missing a leg and is scrambling on the ground, the others looks completely out of it.

>>11172237
dam gouf down.... get someone to help him up and back to the rally point, lets go kill us a gundam! and tell our boys to aim better or their gonna have heat rods shoved up their asses.

Concerningthe gundam knock him over then stand ontop of him and pummel him with fists/ beam rifle shots

>>11172237
Crap, too late. Alright, pour beam fire onto the Gundam with Midnight Fenrir and have the rest of the team keep targeting the GMs.

>>11172100
Get some cover from the incoming GMs and keep luring the Gundam into Fenrir's firing lanes. If we can blow off its big cannons.

>>11172237
Damn, we'll be fighting Bandit in a crippled Act Zaku at this rate. See if we can't pick off a few GMs with grenades in the confusion.

>>11172324
>>11172288

You pull yourself out of the crumbling column, in time to see the Gundam pull out a Beam Saber from it's hip area.
Your suit responds sluggishly as you try to move your Beam Carbine to aim, it feels like a power-distribution error rather than your joints giving way luckily.

You see Bernard leap in to attack the Gundam. His arm outstretched to tear the Mobile Suit's head off, but you see the Gundam start to thrust his saber forwards, directly at the Z'Gok's cockpit area.

Your Mobile Suits legs respond haphazardly, one works the other doesn't, you're Beam Carbine still wont raise itself, and with nothing left, you hurl the Lunar Titanium Boxer Shield at the Beam Saber.

>>11172467
Well, we don't HAVE to fight him. Our primary mission is complete here. I don't think there's any shame in returning to the OH for repairs once this tussle is done, completely avoiding the Bandit altogether.

>>11172487

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

D8

>>11172487
it's over bernie is finished

>>11172487
>see filename

You motherfucker.

BOXER SHIELD DON'T FAIL US NOW

BERNIE NUUUU

>>11172487
LE GASP!

I know it's a little late, but could we get an idea of what MS the Fenrir team are in?

>>11172497

Hell no, we're pushing it this time.

Their GHQ is already damaged, Jaburo is breached in at least three places and we've worked through a good portion of their forces inside already.

Lets twist the knife as far as we can.

WE FIGHT WITH RIGHTEOUS FURY. BLOOD FOR BLOOD. UNLEASH OUR VENGEANCE ON THAT MOTHERFUCKER. LIMITERS OFF, HIT HIM WITH EVERYTHING.

Now would be a good time for, well, pic related.

>>11172554
Schmitzer is in a Zaku I S. If we're following the game, Manning is in a Gouf Custom and Fran is probably in her Dom.

the shield tumbles lazily through the air, your shot misses the arm and hits the Gundam's flank knocking it off it's feet.
It's beam saber, instead of turning Bernie into hamburger it merely grazes the Z'Gok's chest. The Marine Mobile Suits claws close around empty air as the Gundam continues to fall, and lands heavily on it's side.

The side with your heat hawk still lodged in it.

The blade is given sufficient force to not only slice clean through the torso block, but also to fly through the air towards you. With your now empty hand you reach up, and manage to catch it.

Oh god, some of Zolomon must be rubbing off on you.

You see Bernie leap backwards towards you, firing beams from both his arms. He lands in front of you, still firing.

"You alright boss?" He asks.

"What the hell was THAT Bernard!? Mobile Suits aren't people, they DONT HAVE VITAL SPOTS IN THEIR HEAD. Do you know how close you came to be reduced to chunks of meat just then!? I never want to see you do something like that ever again!" You berate him over the close range comms as you try to reset your limbs power distribution, your kind of a sitting duck here.

A smoke grenade flies out from the Midnight Fenrir, covering all of no mans land in smoke, obscuring you and your enemy.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11172487

how quick can we, say, pull power from our damaged systems and get it into weapons?

>>11172617

More stern talk for Bernie.

Switch to thermal sensors, obviously

>>11172617
GRAB GUNDAM PIECES & RETREAT STRATEGICALLY.

>>11172617
Act Quickly! finish that fucker! he tried to smite bernie!!!!

I'M TO ECSTATIC WITH JOY TO THINK RATIONALLY, SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING USEFUL.

>>11172617
Oh thank god, Bernie.

Fall back. The Act Zaku is about to fall apart around us, yet we've destroyed the Mudrock. Victory for us.

Once the Mashiba Team catches up with us, it and Fenrir can advance, but Nachtmaren should fall back to the hanger for whatever repairs we can take.

>>11172617
Have Bernie pull us back while Calvin supports the Midnight Fenrir team against the GM assault. When David is safe Bernie will assist Midnight Fenrir as well.

If we get a chance we should have Calvin and Bernie try to pull that damaged Gouf out of no mans land.

>>11172657
Dude...it was sheared in half through the torso.

>>11172617
Sitrep all units. See if we're still in any shape for a fight.
If not we may have to either hold this position until reinforced or pull back to re-equip.

>>11172655

MS scale smoke grenades usually have chaff that disrupts radar/infared/thermal sensors too. They're broad spectrum, not just visual.

>>11172617
they've given us a chance to get into cover, focus on getting there while we can! Use our one working leg and arm to hop/pull ourselves along, even crawling if necessary, but get out of the open. We're basically useless until our suit is working again.

>>11172656

Seconded. salvage what we can and bug out. our suits are getting pretty beat up, might be time to get what field repairs we can.

>>11172675

Well, only the upper torso has vital functions, it might just have lost it's legs and still have a functional beam gun/cannons.

Bernie WILL HAVE to suffer through many MS CC lessons after this one.

MANY.

>>11172617
Amuro's unit was almost destroyed, 1 arm bandit's first suit got wrecked, and now the mudrock. Other than the WATERPROOF GODMODE GUNDAM how many more do they have?

LOOKS LIKE HAMBURGER IS OFF THE MENU!

Lets get out for field repairs. Also, try to see if the downed Gouf pilot got out ok.

>>11172736

Well, at least the G4 and G5, and the G3 that Bandit is in now.

>>11172743

Even if not, don't leave the pilot behind.

No spacenoid gets left behind.

>>11172736
The insane G3. With Full armor of course.

>>11172772

Call Char

>>11172693
It's been a long time since I've played zeonic front, so I don't remember that.

>>11172736
RX-78-1: Destroyed in Canada by us
RX-78-2: Being worn down and likely pushed beyond design limitations in Africa, according to stolen Fed development papers
RX-78-3: Safe in Jaburo still.
RX-78-4: Status unknown
RX-78-5: Status unknown
RX-78-6: AXE TO YOUR TORSO, AGAR

There's still the Alex, which is probably under development, as well as the FA-78-1 and FA-78-2, which may or may not exist only as conceptual designs. We'll probably face the Heavy Gundam before the war ends though.

I say we finish it off.

Those gun shoulders would make mincemeat out of that Kergeren... I mean our Zanzibar...

>>11172714
>>11172656
Thirded. Get while the getting is good & then GTFO.

>>11172674

>>11172685
>>11172700
>>11172714

You order Bernie to drag your suit back whilst you try to get all of your systems back on online. Fire is sporadic, and Calvin seems to be doing a bang up job of drawing the most of their fire, whilst staying out of trouble.

As you pull back you see one of the Fenrir Mobile Suits walk past you, it's Heat Saber drawn, it strides into the dense smoke.

A few seconds later you hear an explosion.

Bernie drags you back into cover, and you're finally able to get your limbs working to about 85% efficiency.
Effectively, your limiter is back on.

>>11172736
>Amuro's unit was almost destroyed, 1 arm bandit's first suit got wrecked, and now the mudrock. Other than the WATERPROOF GODMODE GUNDAM how many more do they have?

In total? Eight.

>>11172617
If Calvin's seismic sensors are still working and he can get laser com to us, try to figure out where the enemy suits are.

>>11172558
We're in a tremendously damaged suit, half our team are already making their way back for repairs, Bernie's suit is damaged, and Calvin, while an excellent sensor specialist, is night useless in a fight. Ammo is running low. We're not the only ones here, there are plenty of other MS teams wrecking shit. The mark of a good commander is knowing when to push forwards AND knowing when to pull back.

Gundam production has been canceled, the GM sniper II is being mass produced.

Enjoy your beamspam.

Is the gundam incapacitated? if so, graB what we can of it and GTFO. We're behind tech-wise, what with all these gundams and FUCKING GHIREN.

>>11172835

>>A few seconds later you hear an explosion.

That...doesn't necessarily sound good. Do we have a fix on Calvin's position?

>>11172835
I'm gonna agree with Sam here. Nachtmaren has been running itself ragged ever since we infiltrated. We need to fall back to the hanger area and regroup.

Try to get Cima back on comms and have them support the Fenrir as they advance. If the 123rd is restocked, send them as well.

>the GM sniper II is being mass produced.

It's like GM BALLS everywhere. We're fucked.

We've done everything we came to do and done it well. Let's get the fuck out of here. We're beat to shit and we don't want to go asking for more trouble. Hell, one of our pilots just nearly avoided a messy death. Let's get while the gettin's good and try to take a few chunks of Gundam with us if we can for the R&D boys.

>>11172935
looks like someone blowed up the gundam
I wonder if the cannons are still intact

>>11172870

The Gundam is DEAD, sheared in half, and probably surrounded by GM's and smoke right now.

You tell Schmitzen that it's porbably time to pull back.

"Yeah, thanks for finally taking out that gundam he took out two of our team already before we were able to lose him. But your squad looks pretty beat up, you push on to one of the exit points, we'll make a fighting retreat, see if we can't nickel and dime them."

The Gouf Custom walks back to your location.

"Manning, report?"

"I got 2 before the smoke cleared, but there's at least 4 more down, and their moving to flank us on the right."

"Well, that confirms it, we'll start moving back towards the hangar that the 123rd Squadron took."

You all begin quickly moving, Calvin manages to join you, but his suits a little worse for wear, numerous dents, bullet holes, scorch marks and several pieces of missing armour are easily visible.

"I held them off for as long as I could Commander."

"That's fine Calvin, how's your suit?"

"Some heat dissipation problems, plus I'm not longer waterproof, otherwise okay."

You continue your march to the exit point, the Midnight Fenrir team make three successive hit and fade ambushes, using up smoke and flashbangs at a prestdigious rate. They account for a further 2 Mobile Suits, but the enemy is relentless and well trained, making kills difficult.

>>11172969

You're getting closer to the Hangar location, but in the distance you can see that they're already embroiled in combat.
If you dash ahead to aid them you could leave yourself open to attacks from the rear from your persuers, but if you leave them you could lose the hangar entrance.

As always you could split your forces.

YOUR ORDERS?

Well then, back to the whole GTFO thing. We're not much more use here, we should get back to the OH.

>>11172993
>Not even a scrap for a souvenir

>>11173037

Split forces? Gah...
I say no matter what we help them.

We lose the hanger we're boned beyond all recognition.

How are our ground troops holding up?

>>11173037
We'll dash forwards to help them with Bernie and Calvin. Midnight Fenrir's in better condition then us, so they can watch our backs for those GMs that have been hounding us.

>>11173037

Damnit. We need to clear that hangar.

Can the midnight fenrir team continue stalling while we reinforce the hangar team? All we really need is time to get topside- hopefully the rest of the team is in better shape than us.

>>11173037
Rush in.

>>11173055
>How are our ground troops holding up?

you don't know, you can't see them from here.

Did we loose our boxer shield? I hope we picked it up since it has saved us time and time again.

>>11173037
We have to keep this hanger. Midnight Fenrir are good enough to delay the GMs hounding our ass. Go in and try to flank the Feds.

GET TO DA HANGER

>>11173105
>>11173098
>>11173146

"It looks like we've got fighting up ahead, think you can keep those GM's off our back whilst we go help out?" You ask Schmitzen

"Sure thing, we'll see if we can draw them off to the north."

You part ways here. You dash towards the the hangar bay. A Wapper zips in front of your, AT Launcher ready, he instantly recognises your Colour Scheme and waves to you.

"What's going on?" you ask.

"We've got what looks like 2 squads of GM's attacking us, along with god knows how many Tanks and Fan-Fans. If I didn't know better, I'd say that Revil read your book.
Anyway, our Platoon is down to a squad, and were performing close light AT assistance when possible. Corporal Arronax and Petty Officer Brande are supporting the Zaku squads, and the Kampfer is currently getting reloaded. Zolomon is using the Stalagtites to swing around and get the drop on his opponents"

"You mean Stalagmites."

"No sir."

You push forwards.
>>11173117

I'm afraid you have lost the Luna-Titanium Boxer Shield

>>11173280
ZOLOMON GO

Do not directly engage, go to the kampfer and use it instead of our zaku the second it is reloaded.

NEWTYPE NO ARMOR MS LETS DO THIS

>>11173280

>If I didn't know better, I'd say that Revil read your book.

>>11173280
>Zolomon is using the Stalagtites to swing around and get the drop on his opponents"
>"You mean Stalagmites."
>"No sir."

Oh Zolomon. Never change.

Now, what about Hovis. I forget, is he with us or with the others at the exit point? Either way, we should make our way to the exit point and hit the enemy from behind. Target priority should be GM>FinFan>Tanks

>>11173326
I don't think the Kampfers pilot would like that very much.

>>11173353
If we dont outrank a redshirt by this point Lister is gonna have to slap a bitch I mean spacenoid. Lister+Kampfer, so happy together.

You enter the the hangar area to see your teammates leading a rear guard actions against heavy enemy fire.
A Blue mobile suit is on the semi-raised hangar platform with open sky above him. A Zaku tank appears to be refueling and re-arming it.

Both Elaine and Jolyne are leading a Zaku or two, not only are they having to deal with enemy mobile suits, they also are being pressed by supporting tanks and Fan-Fan Gunships making flanking attacks.

You can't see Zolomon, he's probably causing havoc somewhere...

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11173411
Jack the suit, give bernie/whoever can use them our remaining nades to use while we transfer.

>>11173411
Keep those Tanks and Fan-Fans off of Jol and Elaine so they can make their way to the enemy MS as unmolested as possible. Have Bernie and Calvin keep the heat on any GMs that get cocky.

>>11173460
Our suit cant do shit right now. Put our suit in dock.

>>11173460
Seconding this.

Also, where did the Mashiba squad disappear to? We haven't heard from them at all since before the Mudrock fight.

>>11173411
We should make the most of our beam carbine while we're in the Act Zaku. Let's shoot some GMs.

>>11173460

This. we'll concentrate on busting up the gunships, have our infantry plink tanks to let zol, jol, and elaine mess up those GMs.

>>11173481
It's at 85%. That's enough to help out our team who are in immediate danger.

>>11173411
Grenades to the tanks, See if we can pick up any spare weapons from fallen suits.

>>11173375
We're more experienced with the Act Zaku than anyone and are familiar with the beam weapons we're carrying. Having someone else take our suit right in the middle of battle is not a good idea.

>>11173501
Our suit is almost beyond repair. It is weighing down the team. We are a one man force multiplier, and therefore need priority equipment. Any newbie can limp a Zaku to an elevator. We need some guns and speed, especially to finish this fight, unless you guys want to give up.

>>11173501
>Having someone else take our suit right in the middle of battle is not a good idea.

Not to mention the fact that we're the ONLY ones allowed to use the beam carbine.

>>11173539
I thought kampfer has beam slots? if not then I guess you guys are right. I was under the impression that we were a one armed limping blob of metal.

>>11173340

Or rather

>>11173536
It's an Act Zaku and it's perfectly capable of taking on some tanks and fan-fans. The more time we take stealing some guys Kampfer is time we could of spent helping our team now.

>>11173536
The Act is in good enough condition to take on a few GMs with the rest of the team, but we'll probably need the Kampfer if we're going to fight Bandit.

>>11173557

Nope, the Kampfer was a project to restrict the Feddie beam weapon advantage using thin armor and insane speed, since beam weapons go through armor anyways. It can use beam sabers, apparently, but I've never seen it portrayed with other beam weapons.

>>11173597
Our team is doing great, Zolomon would be offended if we couldn't trust him to some vehicles on his own. I'm just saying, after this immediate engagement, it would be a great time to switch.

>>11173597

which is all we need to do. Assist the infantry in tank plinking, zap gunships when we can, leave the hostile suits to the rest of the team. They're more than capable of handling it

Leave the GMs to the rest of the team, we'll handle the armor/gunships. We've got this. No reason to switch MS which will cost us valuable time and put our pride and joy (the Act Zaku) in the grubby hands of some new pilot.

Now, if Bandit shows up...we should take the Kampher.

>>11173486
>>11173481


>>11173460
>Keep those Tanks and Fan-Fans off of Jol and Elaine so they can make their way to the enemy MS as unmolested as possible. Have Bernie and Calvin keep the heat on any GMs that get cocky.

This?

>>11173698
That.

>>11173460

This.

>>11173698
If we won't take the Kamp until after this engagement, at least stay away from enemy MS. We dont need to lose the carbine or the suit.

>>11173698
Yes that.

>>11173698
attack tans/fanfans, no MS

>>11173798
wait... we're wasting beam fire on finfans? this feels insane. Time to unload our grenades.

>>11173928
nades vs planes.....this is gundam after all, might work.

>>11173698

>>11173721

You and your team flank the enemy forces, you concentrate on the Tanks and Gunships with your left-over grenades, whilst the other two supress any GM's in sight.
Initially, your attack goes well. Taken by suprise the enemy forces compress inwards, alowing you to advance and regroup with the rest of your squad.

"Status report?" you ask Jolyne.

"The enemy spent about 10 minutes making probing attacks, and then came full on with this assault. So far we've had no casualties, but that isn't going to last."

You see an explosion ahead of you, a smoking GM stagggers out of cover, you both put a brace of beam shots through it. In the distance you see movement in the ceiling as a Nachtmaren Hygogg swings from Stalagmite to Stalagmite as it repositions itself.

"What do you know... Zolomon finally found a way to charge into the thick of the enemy without getting shot to pieces." You comment.

Bullets craze your position from your flanks. It looks like the enemy have gone around and are attempt to hit from the direction you just came. At this rate the Midnight Fenrir will be cut off from the rest of you.

"Jolyne, we've got to take those flankers out, Calvin, how many?"

"I can't tell, there's too much movement going on! I'm not reading tanks though!"

You, Jolyne and Bernie advance on the flankers, leaving the two Zaku's to hold the fort along with your Wappa's.

You dash in to face an enemy Command GM aim the Carbine and pull the trigger.
Nothing happens

LEFT WEAPON OUT OF AMMO, REPLACE E-CLIP.
flashes up on your HUD.

>>11173963
well... hover planes... in a cave... ok it's probably a stupid idea anyways.

>>11174008
HEADBUTT/PUNCH THAT MOTHERFUCKER & RELOAD.

>>11174008
Okay, replace our E-Clip then. If for whatever reason we can't, either get another weapon from the zaku tanks that are rearming the 123rd or go for melee with our heat hawk.

>>11174090
headbutt then reload, if we are out then we might as well back off and SWITCH suits.

>>11174008
OHFU-DODGE!

>>11174008
Heat hawk, assuming we used the last of our grenades on the tank. When the opportunity presents itself, we drag ourselves back to the impromptu depot and grab whatever machine gun we can find. Hopefully they dropped the Act's bullpup, if not then MMP-80.

>>11174008

ZAKU USED HEADBUTT!

IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE!

The GM raises it's Beam Spray Pistol and you contemplate a dash or possibly tossing your Hawk at him when the decision is taken out of your hand as a circular shield, flying like a frisbee, lodges itself in the GM's torso.

The GM convulses like a marrionette with crossed strings before the entire left hand side of the torso explodes away, to reveal the shield firing gyrojet bullets from the inside of the GM out.
The shield bounces free and the GM topples over and with flare of thrusters, a Tan and Purple Gyan Marine snatches it back up.

"Sorry were late Commander, we had little bit of trouble with a Trojan Horse Carrier..." Cima Girahou reports.

"Better late than never, Cima." You comment as you reload your Beam Carbine

2 RELOADS REMAINING

"What's your Teams status."

"We've lost two suits, the other 4 are fine."

YOUR ORDERS?

GET.

THE.

FUCK.

OUT.

WE ARE IN NO SHAPE TO CONTINUE FIGHTING. MOST OF JABURO IS WRECKED. WE'VE DONE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE CAN ALWAYS RESTOCK AND COME BACK WITH SOME BETTER STUFF TO FINISH THE JOB. I AM IN LOVE WITH MY CAPSLOCK KEY.

>>11174204
We hold this dock.

>>11174204
Awesome, our much-needed reinforcements! We need to get Midnight Fenrir back to the exit point with the rest of our team and the 123rd, and then get out/await extraction.

>>11174204
Mop up these flankers with Cima's team and then push on to help out Zolomon. If we are able to break the advance then we regroup and get resupplied before trying to get word from command.

If we are unable to break them pull back and entrench ourselves to hold the hangar at all costs while calling for reinforcements.

>>11174265
Agreed. It's our only way out right now, and a potential insertion point for drop troops. Most of our suits are in no shape to be marching on the GHQ anyway.

SCREW THE ODDS

HOLD THE LINE

>>11174257

Yeah, but they're in the same position. All we have to do is assault the GHQ now, if we can do that we might very well cripple the Federation, especially if we can kill or capture their high command. Basically, it's right in front of us and we may never have the chance again. If we need to take some horrible risks to do it, that's fine. It's important.

>>11174364
We should regroup/resupply and get a general picture of the battle from command before we do that. I'd like to know if us taking the GHQ is going to leave us stranded and surrounded by Feds or not.

>>11174257

"In our current condition, we're in no shape to assault the GHQ, especially if those Gundams made it to reinforce them. We have to secure the area for the conventional troops and retreat back for repair and rearming."

"Roger! We'll deal with these forces first."

A GM pokes it's head out and begins firing, Cima dodges the beam shot and stabs forwards with her Beam Lance, the long beam weapon ignites and hydralic servo's in the handle extend it forwards, the blade neatly pierces a hole through the small pillar it was using as cover, and now with a large hole where it's lower torso and hip used to be, promptly explodes.

You retreat back towards the hangar bay, to see if your can tap into the communication network up top. As you walk there is a corona of thrusters overhead, and travelling at incredible speed, the Kampfer boosts over your head.

Once you reach the raised platform, the Zaku Tank waves cheerily at you.

"You okay?" You ask.

"Sure, so far nobodies come up here." He replies.

"You hooked into the command network?"

"Yup, just bounce the laser signal through me and I'll patch you through"

A few seconds of computer operation later and your talking to Lord Captain Garma.

"Captain, what's the situation up top? The 123rd has taken an entranceway into the base, but they're down to a reinforced Squad and both my unit, the Mashiba Team and Midnight Fenrir are low on ammo and taken losses and damage. Wheres the rest of the conventional troops to secure this area?"

"Sorry David, the 123rd were off their landing co-ordinates when they dropped, it's taken us this long just to break through the enemy holdout and reach you. You should be seeing the 101st Company in minutes. What's your teams progess."

"The MS manufacturing plant is toast, but I don't believe my unit can take the GHQ, and I'm calling an evac."

"Then that'll have to do. I'll alert the Outer Heaven to pick you up, they should still be in the area after picking up your MA specialist."

"Roger."

>>11174423
This. We're pretty beat to shit so we need to get back into shape ASAP.

We should've seen about a way to bring extra suits with us. Oh well...

Oh my goodness Zeonquest. How the fuck did I miss what sounds like some epic last week, and the Gundam fight this week? Goddamn Summer Break. D:

Anyway, if Zeon has Kaempfers, David gets one. End of story. Doesn't necessarily have to be now. But it does have to be.

>>11174564
I keep hoping we'll get to steal a Gundam & have David use it himself. It's not gonna happen, I know, but I keep hoping.

>>11174479
>>11174482
Time to GTFO and rearm looks like.

Reccomended Party loadout:
David: Gelgoog
Zol: Pezun Dowdage
Jol: Pezun Dowdage
Elaine: Pezun Dowdage
Calvin: Flipper /or/ Gelgoog
Bernie: Zaku FZ with lots of grenades
Hovis: Rhino

I thought Outer Heaven had zero suits in the bay.

The arrival of the Mashiba Team is just what's need to turn the tide, combined with the Kampfers blitzkrieg attacks as well as bloodied but still capable Midnight Fenrir team flanking them without warning, the enemy forces are pushed back with heavy losses. Earning you some much needed breathing room.

You see a Zaku II in your mock-El Muerto Grande colours walk buy for rearmament and reloading.

"So, hows the colour scheme? Not catching too much fire I hope?"

"Tanks run when they see me, Mobile Suits just seem to come at me even harder. It's a pain."

"Wait, Tanks actually run away from you? Normally they just charge even harder at me." Zolomon observes as he flops down from the ceiling.

"Nice work Zolomon, how'd you explode the enemies from the ceiling with no beam weapons?" You ask.

"Chest mounted torpedoes. I just drop-em like grenades."

"Ah."

A few minutes later you see your ship and Lili-Marleen flying overhead.

"Commander? Are you okay?" Anita asks over the comms.

"Where's the 101st? They're supposed to relieve us."

"They're not coming! All forces have been recalled back to their Gaws! Lord Garma's ordering a full retreat"

"What!? WHY!?" You shout over the comms.

"The Federation just mounted a full-scale assault on Odessa"

TO BE CONTINUED.

>>11174639
Huh. What/where is Odessa again?

>>11174639
>"The Federation just mounted a full-scale assault on Odessa"

SONUVABITCH!

>>11174676
In the Ukraine.

>>11174639
WHAT THE FUCK!? So we're canceling an attack that could end the war?

>>11174676
It's a big resource base on the black sea. Zeon is fucked if we lose it.

>>11174676
Some place in space. Mining facility. Run by people working under Kycillia I believe.

>"Chest mounted torpedoes. I just drop-em like grenades."

At first I was like

But then I was like:

>"The Federation just mounted a full-scale assault on Odessa"

>>11174723

No no, it's on Earth, in eastern Europe or something. It's the worlds largest resource extraction facility and Zeon's been holding it since the beginning of the war, it's why we have so much raw material to do stuff with. If the Federation gets their hands on it again they'll be able to use their full industrial capacity again and overwhelm us in numbers, rather than being more or less resource starved.

>>11174702
>>11174720
>>11174723
Thanks.

>>11174711
Well, we accomplished our primary objective, and it sounds like other teams have had great success as well, so I'd call this mission a success. And we can always come back.

Omake this week?

I swear to God that if M'Quve threatens to use nuclear warheads against the Feds when we're this close to winning, we're going to have Zol use him for Heat Hawk target practice.

>>11174639
Btw, you doing ok apologized? We're done a bit earlier than usual.

OMAKE

The King-Dabude Land Battlesip "Roter Mond" leant on one side, smoke billowing from the holes.

PO Singh fired a burst from his Desert Zaku's 120mm into a GM, it brought it's large shield up to defend, and Singh took advantage of the enemies distraction to switch attention to the encrouching squad of tanks trying to flank him, burst from his wrist vulcans took one out and sent the other retreating backwards into their cover.
Likewise he ducked behind the rock formation he was using as a Beam Spray blast flew overhead.
He took the oppourtunity to fire another burst at the enemy. This time the GM didn't have time to get his shield up and took the salvo through the chest and collapsed before exploding. Hopefully the Tanks would get the hint and flee as well.

He heard Northern Defence Command on the Network.
"This is Command to Roter Monde, pull back! Hildolfr Squadrons 1 and 2 are position to cover your retreat!"

"Don't bother Command, that last attack took out our motive systems. We'll try to hold them off for as long as possible, you have those artillery units fall back to the 2nd defence line. There's nothing more they can do."

"Roger... and good luck."

Luck? Singh thought, they'd need more than luck, they'd need a bloody miracle. He also didn't recally signing up for no suicide missions when he joined the Zeon Forces either.

In the distance he could see overhead advancing Trojan Horse class carriers, great just what he needed. He noticed the tanks moving in on him again, he dispersed them with his head and wrist vulcans. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a flash of white.

"What was that?" He said to himself. He turned his mono-eye to face forwards and saw the target clearly.
"What the...It's a gundam!"

There was the sound of a Beam Rifle.

>>11174816
>Btw, you doing ok apologized? We're done a bit earlier than usual.

Whilst I've been better, the truth is you just ran through the whole Jaburo attack mission quicker than I thought you would do. I was sort of expecting an attack on GHQ as well remember.

I had this idea where you take the GHQ and are rooting around trying to find Revil, you ask Anita
"Where's Revil?"
"He's in odessa."
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

I was also toying with the idea of having Calvin save Bernie instead of you, but taking a full barage from the GM's and maybe getting injured, like say, losing and eye or something.
But I decided against it, because you weren't doing anything stupid, and it just seemed to cruel for the sake of cruelty.

>>11174897
We've unfortunately been shot to shit. Fortunately, Jaburo's breached to shit.

Most likely we're going to fight at Odessa, then drop right the fuck back into Jaburo.
That is, if Ghiren doesn't decide to be a douchebag. Which he will. And we'll have to go deal with him. And then Jaburo will get patched up and it'll all go to shit.

Oh well.
