Mission #9: Mission Briefing

Mission 9: Capture the Firebase, Take Two, this time with feeling.

Firebase Gamma. The one black mark of the 7th's campaign on Port Arthur.  Time to erase that mark.   

Primary Objectives:
+ Eliminate all opposing Jaguar forces at firebase.

Mission Briefing:

Most of you have been here before...Lets get it right this time.

We will approach from the south again.  Figure about the same amount of defenses.  Try not to act like a chorus line when approaching the firebase this time and we should be fine.

Here is a review for the new members of the 7th.

There are two walls around the firebase.  

The outermost is rounded on the top so it will be almost impossible for your mechs to stand on.  Not sure if it would support the weight of a mech anyway.  Use it as cover, jump over, climb over, or destroy a section to continue your push.  It is short wall and should only come to the waist level of your mechs.

The innermost is on the firebase itself.  This one appears to be built right into the terrain, and will be impossible to destroy a section.  Estimates are that each wall section could support at least 500 tons.


Get in there and dig them out.  Eliminate or rout all Jaguar forces from the area.  The Jags are running out of areas to fall back to, so expect them to fight viciously to hold this post.

Expected Jaguar forces:

Mechs:

Timberwolf A: Star Captain Gehrig (2/3)

Shogun C: Star Captain Rivera (2/3)

Warhawk A: Mechwarrior Burnett (2/3)

Rifleman IIC: Mechwarrior Sanders (3/4)

Loki Prime: Mechwarror Sax (3/4)

Vehicles:

Demolisher Heavy Tank (Clan): (3/4)

LRM Carrier: (4/5)

LRM Carrier: (4/5)

Schrek PPC Carrier: (4/5)

Schrek PPC Carrier: (4/5)

Elementals:

Star Colonel Giambi's Point: Small Lasers (2/1)

Star Commander Winfield's Point: Small Lasers (2/3)

Point 3: Small Lasers (3/4) 

Point 4: Small Lasers (3/4)

Point 5: Small Lasers (3/4) 

Automated Turrets:

The South East and North West corners of the firebase are protected by a pair of turrets.

One of the pair has a Clan ER Large Laser, the other has an LRM 20 launcher.

There appears to be a structure on the northside of the firebase that may power these turrets.  Scan the building to see if dropping it will take out all 4 of the turrets.

Good Luck!

Nash out. 

OOC: You guys actually have a BV advantage this time through, and that was before I added in the bonus to your BV that you get with an active C3 network.  Clanners have 7 potential head capping weapons (2 Mad Cat, 2 Loki, 2 Demolisher, 1 Shogun C).  Use your thick armor to your advantage.  You guys are SLOW, most of your mechs are 3/5...so keep moving.  Drop the Loki soon, cause it has an ECM that will mess up your C3.  LRM Carriers will be easy to drop, to help get the numbers back in your favor.  Turrets take 20 points each, building that runs them takes 40 points.  May 20th is the date.  Still need to know which Atlas Mitch is taking, then I can post your rosters and we align the C3 company into lances.
