Barqa calls out a plan for the assault "I say we sow some chaos with long range fire while Andrew, Harald and I move in through the hole in the wall at the north, then sweep through the camp out of turret line of sight. Just need the two frontal ones down for that tactic to work." To which John replies "Sounds good to me. I'm locked on and ready to rock, just tell me when you want me to knock." Markus agrees in a much more active manner "I'm opening fire at the Bald Crown." at which the others scamble into action.

After switching ammo feed on your autocannon you open fire with everything but your railgun, dealing decent damage to several of the enemies.

Relay this plan, if accepted fire mortars for effect and move to engage Dodo 1, preferably while taunting said enemy.

Description: A veteran warrior with a temper, got sick of fighting for the companies and went rogue. Although he has a short fuse the man is still far more intelligent than he looks
Ability: Jet charge [+2 to the first attack made against an enemy with the lance]
Figuring that given how these reavers don't speak english you decide to just fire your mortars while charging in, and despite the difficulty of keeping them aimed while moving manage to score some decent hits.
Mech: Retiarius

Ability: Zen [+2 Accuracy, -2 Movement/Evasion] [2 Turn Duration, 3 Turn Cooldown [after end duration]] [ACTIVE:1]
Taking careful aim at the turret the others are firing on you spot a hole in its armour that they have opened up, caling yourself you squeeze the trigger and your laser punches straight through the hole, and a split second later the entire turret detonates in a spectacular fireball as its ammo cooks off which catches the nearest dodo blowing off a significant amount of armour.
Mech: Snipehawk

Pilot Name: Irvine Callahan
Description: A lanky, tanned American pilot who lost his right eye before joining the mercs. It doesn't seem to have negatively affected his piloting skills. Calm and confident.
Ability: Evasion Focus [Scaling/variable skill: Evasion Focus (3) = +3 evasion, -3 accuracy. Evasion Focus (5) = +5 evasion, -5 accuracy. Etc.]
Estimating from what you know of 1st generation sensors you plot out what you assume to be their normal sensor range, and send it over to the others, given that they've taken fire and can now see Barqa you guess that they be boosting their sensors and will spot the rest of you soon, but will likely have more trouble hitting those of you past their normal sensor range, not that your teams weapons will be much more accurate at such ranges.

Move for the closest dodo in a straight line. Shoot the cannon and the missiles. If possible let the aiming of the missiles be done by somebody else.

Time to Lance myself a way through another camp.

EDIT: Changed for HKU's plan

Maarten, if you mean Dodo 1, I'm gonna fire on the northeast corner next turn, so you might wanna hold off on running into them for a sec.

> "Looks like the fog is doing my job for me. Might as well make use of that." Head straight west towards the edge of their detection range, launch missiles at the most damaged target, then break south.

Go go hit-and-run attacks!

HKU, I was going for the path of least resistance, or specifically, not getting shot by the south eastern turret.
I'm fairly certain I can rip my way through all three of them alone so I suggest you aim for the other Dodo and his buddies.

If you're worried about the turrets, there's still the northern one in the middle to worry about if you take the northeast corner. And I'm shooting from afar to soften everything up. As it is, go down the middle and you'll tear through them like wet tissue. Go for the northeast corner and they will put up at least some kind of fight.
Not sure how quick you can cross the distance between us and the base anyway though, so I may fill them with lead before you can get there anyway.

Very well, good enough point.

Asking to roleplay too just asking but if your okay here's my mech

Edit1: im going to wait i just read the rule

Finding a reason to be thankful for the nanite pollution Irvine says "Looks like the fog is doing my job for me. Might as well make use of that."
The Turrets open fire, with the rearmost ones operating in an arced indirect fire mode while the remaining frontal one fires directly. The NTs that aren't staggered from the fire they've taken all proceed to move forwards while providing some fire, while the MAUs seem to be more cautious and take cover from any direct fire.

Pilot name: John Freemech
Description: An energetic man with a fearsome beast of a goatee.
Before it can recover from the artillery you centre your aim on the Egret and fire, your round blowing a hole clear through its torso. Then with your target neutralised you turn to face the northern group of NTs.

Description: A veteran warrior with a temper, got sick of fighting for the companies and went rogue. Although he has a short fuse the man is still far more intelligent than he looks
Ability: Jet charge [+2 to the first attack made against an enemy with the lance]
You charge towards the Dodo at the northern gap in the wall and fire your cannon and missiles at it, a pair of your missiles hit, but your cannon shot goes wide.
only then does a salvo of cannon fire from the turrets impact around you, a few of the shells hit along with a round from one of the Egrets. Combined this blows away a decent amount of armour.
Mech: Retiarius

Description: A broad of build but rather short figure with a magnificent red beard. Doesn't talk much.
Changing direction slightly you keep on moving, and get yourself as close as you can without entering visual range.

Enemy Status
[1(1-6)]Bald-Crown:

[2(1-4)]Egret:

[4]Club: [bazooka/rocket/cannon] no damage.
[5]Axe: [gatling/missile] no damage.
[6]Hammer: [bazookas/cannons] no damage.

Note: When taking a large amount of damage in one hit like maarten just did, you are staggered, this temporarily lowers accuracy/speed next turn as you recover from the hit, bigger hits cause more stagger.
Superior musculature makes you more resistant to stagger, and having more armour also makes you harder to stagger.
Certain weapons also increase the strength of the stagger they cause as an innate effect.

Enderstep, you're missing a few things from your sheet: pilot/etc.
otherwise I'll stick you on the waiting list.

> Maintain southwest heading shifting toward west-southwest, apply additional missile volley to Turret #2. If possible try and gauge how far the turret's guns can depress compared to their elevation. Is there a minimum range or blind zone? If so, mark estimated minimum range on tactical maps.
