The Unseen Servant forums

With the information passed to the major he and the Fusilier captain and the lyran liaison spend the day in the command tent. The next morning both merc companies are called together and Major Concord speaks.

Mech Warriors, we have a decision to make. Thanks to the Crusader recon lance we have information on our enemy.

It is in fact a battalion of the 31st Marik Militia guarding the two factories and supplies. I know of the 31st, they are a garrison unit who have seen little combat. Their commanders are appointed based on who they know and not on what they accomplish. We have already destroyed almost 2 lances of mechs and 2 lances of their aerospace fighters. They outnumber us, but not by much, and they do not have our experience.

We have 2 choices turn tail and flee failing our objective....

he pauses

Or stay and fight!


Thanks to the generous salvage on this contract

he looks at the lyran officer and smiles, the lyran lieutenant seems to be miffed at this

This could end up as a boon as we will not only take the supplies that are just waiting for us, but we will be able to salvage any downed mechs as well!

What say you Crusaders and Fusiliers? Turn our backs and run, or stay and fight!

I will assume everyone agrees

The assembled mech warriors cheer and chant fight! fight! fight!

Your LT goes with the other officers to meet in the command tent and the other mechwarriors go to their tents discussing the upcoming battles.

any actions?

Your LT returns to ou after the meeting to explain the plan.

Your lance along with 1st LT Badimose lance and Pvt Edison from the command lance will assault the east factory that is guarded by 1 company and the rest of your command lance will join with the Fusiliers to assault the North facility guarded by a reinforced company.

LT Badimose lance (fire lance) will be set in strategic position powered down. Your pursuit lance will approach the facility firing on buildings looking to draw the enemy out to chase you. once the are close to range you will radio the fire lance and they will power up to engage at distance.

any questions?

Ivan for once keeps his thoughts to himself "None sir."

David nods enthusiastically, "Sounds like a plan sir."
