((Welcome to the Mecha Mercs Skirmish Campaign.

This is a tactical turn based collective game where each player takes on the role of a mech pilot. As the campaign progresses the players will accumulate a supply of resources which can be used to build up a persistent pool of mechs and equipment, but watch out! If your pilot dies you could lose it all and be forced to start again with an inferior mech.

Answer the roll call to participate in the mission.

New players check out the quick start rules in the pic. Existing players know the drill.

Glad to be here Kail!

Honestly, I rather like the camels, gives a nice air of informalty to the place. My last command was too... stuffy. Especially when it came to explosive safety regs, they just kept going on and on and ON. Would not shut up.

Anyway, what's the employee insurance policy like regarding burns? I'm asking for a freind.

Cable Guy: "Welcome aboard recruits, if you'll just take a seat..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fg32oR-kq0

Cable Guy: "Alright this gonna be a long one so I hope you all went to the bathroom. The Sakala arrived at an Anuncian forward operating base yesterday and is currently taking on supplies. The bad news is there are a lot of enemy units at that FOB now, the good news is that most of them are inactive. Aside from the perimeter patrols most units are undergoing resupply or preparing to embark on the Sakala, but you can bet they’re gonna start mobilising once you launch the attack. Once the fighting kicks off they base is going to be swarming with infantry, some will be vehicle crews, some will be soldiers. Now infantry are tricky, they’re squishy and their squad will break if you inflict enough casualties, but they can hide in cover and potentially ruin your day with RPG fire. Blast weapons and multiple shot weapons are most effective against them. Sure an AMR will splatter a dude but then his buddies will just pick up the rocket launcher and keep fighting. Also be very careful if you have to bail out with enemy infantry around. International convention dictates that dismounted vehicle crews be allowed to surrender and be taken as prisoners of war, but we both know that people don’t always act honourably in the heat of battle. If you’ve killed a lot of their friends, the squad might just decide to get a little pay back right then and there."

>cont

>>45280553
Cable Guy: "Anyway, on to the main objective: The Sakala. First how to destroy it. To destroy the Sakala we need to either hit it with shots from the heavy missile batteries our friends the Reptiles have brought along or jump up on the flight deck and toss demo charges down each of the elevator shafts. For the latter you’ll need jump jets to get up top and of course demo charges. If you want to expose the carrier to missile attack you’ll have to disable the base’s air defence network. Said network consists of four AA turrets and two command centres. You can either destroy the turrets the old fashioned way or blast the command centres. Now the command centres are hardened against attack so they’re not as easy to take down as a turret but in the end it’s your call.
The more AA turrets you take down the higher the chance that the missile strikes will get through. Bear in mind that the turrets will shoot down any missiles you fire as well. This is a pain but by launching your missiles at the same time as the reptiles you can help overwhelm the defence grid and increase the chances of something getting through.
If our allied infantry get inside the carrier they can also rig it to blow. Just remember to give the order as by default they are under orders to attempt a capture, speaking of which:"

>cont

>>45280573
Cable Guy: "To capture the Sakala you’ll need to escort the Reptile’s mechanised infantry to the carrier and defend it while they get it underway. Remember the Sakala’s own crew will be attempting to board as well and there are more infantry on the base than the Reptiles can handle, so if too many get on board then they will have to pull out. Be advised that as more crew and supplies are loaded onto the Sakala more and more of it’s systems will come on line. Eventually it will attempt to move out of the combat zone. If that happens you need to destroy it. At least three squads of Reptiles must make it onto the Sakala to hijack it whereas only two squads are necessary for the demolitions operation. If all four squads make then they might be able to bring some extra systems online to help.
Finally for the biggest payout we need to capture the base. To do that we need to force the Anuncians to surrender, to do that we need to ‘convince’ them that they can’t win. We do that with shock and awe: the more units we take down (especially big one like MBTs and heavy gunships) while maintaining our own strength the more their morale will drop. If it drops low enough they will surrender, but not until the Sakala has either been captured or destroyed. As long as the Carrier remains in their hands they will continue to fight. This is important to note as we will not be able to conduct recovery operations unless the base is captured."

>cont

>>45280596

Cable guy: "Terrain intel: The base is littered with piles of supply containers, these will block line of sight to infantry, but not vehicles, they’ll also provide some cover however depending what’s in them there is a chance that they might explode if shot at… they are MILITARY supplies after all.

Enemy Intel: As far as we can tell most of the enemy units in the base appear to be type B and C AFVs. The B’s have missiles pods in addition to their main cannons, some of you have seen them in action before. Don’t let them get a lock on you. The type Cs come a equipped with an electronic warfare pod, not very dangerous by themselves but in tandem with other units they can really ruin your day.
We’ve also sighted a pair of heavy VTOLs in the base. They’re equipped with multiple independently tracking cannons which allow them to engage several targets at once, or they can focus on one target and lay down such a withering hail of fire that you’ll have trouble doing anything besides getting the hell out of dodge. There are bunch of attack choppers behind the Sakala but those appear to be inactive and earmarked for loading.
Finally our recon teams also noticed a storage building in the north west of the base and a hardened bunker in the south east. We have no idea what’s in there, could be nothing, all the same stay on your toes.

Alright that’s the briefing, all pilots select your deployment zones and prepare to move out."

>>45280553
Could the Reptiles attempt to take a command bunker? The most dangerous enemy units (we know of) appear to be Helos, so taking control of the AA guns would be a vast help.

>>45280625
>a storage building in the north west of the base and a hardened bunker in the south east.
Which direction on the map is North? Left, so we're attacking from the south?

As an explosive dispensary mechanism, I humbly suggest I get posted to the lower deployment zone where my Grenade Launcher can spam the main infantry tents. I can then move north to cover the reptile assault. pic related.

I'm pretty worried that bunker contains an elite mech though. Could anyone lend me 3 Cred for a Tactical Shield? Or maybe 2 Cred for another Demo Charge? Remember, any bullets soaked up by my rookie body aren't going into yours!

>>45280625
Do we know where the mechs and VTOLs are being kept? are they being kept on the Sakala?

>>45280884
>>45280933

Cable Guy: "Top of the map is north. the VTOLs are parked in the top left area of the base..."

"It would be possible to ask the infantry to breach the command centers but doing so diverts them from the main task, plus unless both command centers are captured a squad will be permanently tied down as they wrestle with the second command center for control of the turrets."

>Could anyone lend me 3 Cred for a Tactical Shield? Or maybe 2 Cred for another Demo Charge? Remember, any bullets soaked up by my rookie body aren't going into yours!

"I can't speak for the other pilots but we do have a small company fund for assisting with repairs. There's only 3 cred in it right now so if your really hankering for a shield I guess I could procure one for you..."

>>45280625 #
Argh, missiles. Can't stand them. Anyway, I'll deploy north, try to rush 'em down. Damn, I wish Honeypot was here...

>>45280884 #
Sorry rook, I'd give you the money if I could, but I'm actually in debt. Damn missiles, wrecking my mech.

>>45281096
I shall deploy in the northern zone then, best to take them down before they get off the ground if possible.

>>45280933
The VTOLs are in the top left corner of the map. The Helos are on the middle left of the map, next to the Sakala ready for loading.

>>45281096
>wrestle with the second command center for control of the turrets
Do we know how much would that screw over the turrets? Enough that missiles have a greater chance of getting through? And they wouldn't have to hold forever, just long enough to paste the second command center (perhaps with missiles).

>Top of the map is north.
That would put the bunker and warehouse in the North-east and South-west. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding the map.

>small company fund for assisting with repairs
While I really want a shield and some more boom-boom, that's not my money to touch. Unless the other pilots would vote to allow me to use it. I 'aint no pension-thief!

>>45281393
I'd be okay with you taking the cash. You'll be alone down there, at least for a little while, so anything helping your survival would be good.

>>45281393
>Turrets:
Cable Guy: "There's a good chance that they can at least keep the turrets offline, if they're really lucky they can bring them over to our side."

>On company funds.

"Well uh this is awkward. I'm not really a ranking officer per-say but the fund was established to help pilots in need and if it increases your survivability I'm willing to approve using the fund to get you that shield. Beisides, with the payout from this mission, I'm sure you can pay it forward."

Ho-kay, how does this look for a plan?
1) South team moves up taking out infantry, and busts a hole in the command center. Then take out the AA.
2) North team moves on AA tower and ground units.
3) South Reptiles take command center, focuses all hacking/whatever efforts on control of north western AA battery.
4) Northern Reptile Infantry move on Sakala.
5) Northern Reptile Missiles take out northern command
6) Turn AA guns on Helos and VTOLs
7) Home for Tea and medals

True. But if we grab one command center and knock out the other, we can use the AA on the VTOLs.

Anyone else have an opinion?

>>45283061
We may not be able to afford capturing a command center if we wish to capture the Sakala, though I suppose if it comes down to it we can use the AA on the Sakala as it tries to flee. But I would much prefer being able to capture the base in it's entirety.

Wait, what am I doing here? I was-- what? How did I... what? Great big stomping mecha feet, if I'm seeing things again I'm going to go stark raving sun mad; this is that Night of the Pumpkins type terror all over again!
I'm going to start monitoring my movements very carefully from now on.

Pilot Sparebits, back in the saddle.

((Alright guys we're gonna do something a little different this time.

See IRL right now I got a lot of stuff going on and my free time has been split up into small chunks as opposed to the big stretches needed to finish a mission all in one go. At the rate I'm going there's no way I can finish the mission to night so...

I'm going to process 1 turn day until the mission is over. This should give you guys ample time to post actions. Next turn gets processed tomorrow at around 11pm GMT. (Yeah I got a long day...))

Oh and Eisensturn got hacked. FCS, -2 to hit until you perform a recovery action.))

>>45285753
Looks like I jumped the gun on that.

>>45285718
It's alright, can't win them all. Hopefully Eisensturm's mortar picks them up.

You ready to make a run for it, partner ? There's two gunships ripe for the picking on the other side.

>>45285766
Oh! Well, that's useful for me. Goodnight guys!

Anaconda Artillery, while your over-whelming firepower is both terrifying and impressive, we are here to capture the Sakala if that's possible, so try not to turn it into slag while other targets are available.

I'm transmitting you some new targetting information - please proceed to clear out the northern cordinates here if possile. Wide saturation would be nice, trending West - there's a pair of tanks and some infantry making a run for some gunships. It'll help your Northern Advance since they're about to get blindsided by a pair of tanks.

Reminder to all other Pilots that our heavy artillery back up can leech target co-ordinates of of your Mech's consoles - just Lock On and transmit them - and wait for the boom.

>Advance 4 SW towards the turrent + single sheltering infantry group.

Noooooo. I mean, how could I do that, it's not like I added a backdoor to your mech, and I certainly wasn't handed the technical know-how by an Exoterra scientist, like my old man. Nope.

>>45286499
When I got out of this mech and back to base I'm going to load up that game, I'm going to get a pitcher of coffee, and I'm going to beat your high score.

I know it'll take me all night, hell, a day or two - it's fine. I'll do it. It'll be my vengeance. It shall be my mission! Right after I've rebooted this mech and reformated the control system it's--- what? no? why is the OS suddenly in NeoJapanese?! ARGH

A direct hit!
Keep them coming Wendigo.
We're stealing that Sakala!

Just gotta make sure we don't unleash anoter missile barrage on it - can anyone get a lock on targets north or south? Then we can direct an artillery barrage at them.

>>45288743
>>45287659
I can lock things soon, but I think Anaconda was right, now way Monitor is making it to the carrier before they get it up and running. Blowing it to hell is probably our best option right now.
