Seeing Barqa take a pounding from the Tanks Johann calls out ot him "Barqa, you dolt, you're going to let your mech get trashed by some antiques like that? Back the ♥♥♥♥ up. Can't take out everything." and realising the situation he got himself into he heeds the advice and backs off from the Tanks.
Once again the Tanks and the Machinegun trucks fire on Barqa and fail to hit, the Rocket trucks fire on Johann and one scores a hit on him.

COMBAT MAP:

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

Note: this camp is one of the more tank/truck heavy camps, and more often than not you'll be facing fewer, tougher enemies rather than a few dozen weak ones like in this battle.

Ragdollmaster, your action is requested.

The Tanks and the Machinegun trucks fire on Barqa and score a few hits, the Rocket trucks fire on Harald and their shots land just short of him.

Ability: Jet charge [+2 to the first attack made against an enemy with the lance]
