Flinging the NT off of his Lance Barqa yells over the comms "Come on guys, you're late to the party!" Johann then yells out "Last NT's mine, hold your fire on it." while ignoring him Irvine says "Surprised they haven't turned tail and run yet. Crazy bastards."
Once again the Tanks and the Machinegun trucks fire on Barqa and a few manage to hit him, the Rocket trucks fire on Johann and also manages to cause some damage to him.

Pilot name: John Freemech
Description: An energetic man with a fearsome beast of a goatee.

Description: A broad of build but rather short figure with a magnificent red beard. Doesn't talk much.

Ability: Brawler [+1 to Melee attacks / -1 to Ranged attacks]
You rush forwards, engaging your Overdrive and swinging your blade out just as it starts getting up, you cut straight through it just as Irvine hits it with a missile, and something detonates leaving the NT a blasted pile of scrap, only then do you notice some armour damage from Rockets fired by the Trucks.

COMBAT MAP:

John, Barqa, Harald, Markus, Johann and Irvine are at A1.

Feeling that things are wrapping up here Irvine says "One camp down, ten to go. Where're we hitting next?" this might be a little premature as Barqa takes a pounding from the remaining Tanks.
Once again the Tanks and the Machinegun trucks fire on Barqa and several tanks hit him, the Rocket trucks fire on Johann and fail to score any hits.

Ability: Zen [+2 Accuracy, -2 Movement/Evasion] [2 Turn Duration, 3 Turn Cooldown [after end duration]]
