I'm just trying to make sure everyone's on the same page, so we don't all split up and wind up with half the party at A2 and the other half at A3 or something.

> Head out for A3 when everyone's ready.

I've not rolled in... a while, so i'm just reminding everyone about things. [and mentioning the minor changes that've occurred]


Also, waiting on Ragdollmaster.
HAHA WHO AM I KIDDING

After splitting from the group and reaching HQ Barqa heads into one of the two automated repair bays, deciding no to go for a full refit, he still has plenty of ammo after all.
Deciding to try and take some sort of lead Irvine calls out o the team "Alright folks, let's roll. Largest concentration is mark C1 directly to our west. I figure we should terminate the surrounding camps first so there's no reinforcements for them, then move in for the kill. We should hit A3, then A2, then A4, which will allow HQ to move up and provide closer support with less risk." Harald replies with "Sounds like a plan." after a brief pause Irvine wonders aloud "Times like this make me wish we had better intel, y'know?"
Arriving at the camp you spot several hostiles, one MAU and three NTs, the NTs are of the same models you've already faced, two with Rifles, and one with a machinegun, while the MAU is of the ubiquitous IWM01 Club-l model, it is armed with a back-mounted missile pod, and a handheld cannon.

While you're on the way to A3 you reach under your seat and find... is that? it is! You find the lever to adjust the backrest! It's a good thing too, the techs must have bumped the it while doing maintenance, the chair has been slightly uncomfortable ever since you set off, after tweaking the lever for a moment it's much better.

Combat Map:

John, Harald, Markus, Johann and Irvine are at A3.
Barqa is at Pushka undergoing repairs.

Rag I am setting up to snipe the MAU and you decide to charge it with your sword.

Maybe it would pay to read others' actions

Teamwork high five!

Just as the repair bay is finishing up Barqa gets a transmission from Ivan Zavod the head engineer "Comrade, we're getting low on materials for repairs, try to leave something from the mechs you're facing to salvage, Da?"
Meanwhile at the battle the MAU and MG NT charge towards the team, the NT doesn't fire, but the MAU fires at Markus, the Rifle NTs instead move to the flank and fire at John and Harald.

> Hop off the trailer, set Railgun to charging, lock on to the MAU with Railgun.
Pilot name: John Freemech
Description: An energetic man with a fearsome beast of a goatee.
Stepping off the trailer you charge up your railgun as you lock it onto the MAU, the reassuring whine of capacitors assures you that it's working just fine, you almost start panicking as one of the rifle NTs fires in your direction, but fortunately the shot misses.
Mech: Starbanger

Ability: Zen [+2 Accuracy, -2 Movement/Evasion] [2 Turn Duration, 3 Turn Cooldown [after end duration]]
Using the significant range of your laser you fire on the MAU and punch a hole in its leg and it starts stumbling on that leg befor it engages its boosters and starts flying instead of running. It then returns fire with its cannon, but you easily dodge out of the way of its poorly aimed shot.

Given your situation maart3n there isn't really anything significant that you can do this roll, so i'm going to roll without you, if you really wanted to do something feel free to yell at me and i'll edit it in.
