MechWarrior: Tactical Command/Winfield Mission 3

Winfield – Mission 3

Objectives

  • Capture the Combine Artillery Vehicles
  • Capture the Combine Field Base

MISSION DESCRIPTION

Beckman: Ah, yes. A little too early to begin celebrating. We’ve got telemetry on inbound DropShips. We don’t think they’re ours. However, with Combine communications in shambles, we can move on their field base before any reinforcements arrive!

Holloway: For this mission, Commander, Hammer Lance is yours. You’ll need their firepower.

Beckman: The information we’ve gathered suggests that the entrance to the Combine encampment is heavily defended. But, we have a plan to get through.

Holloway: The Combine has deployed artillery platforms in fire bases outside of their main encampment. These represent a serious threat to our forces, so we need to neutralize them.

Holloway: However, instead of destroying them, we are going to capture them! Once we have secured them, these artillery pieces can help us bring down the Combine’s defenses.

Beckman: Get moving, Commander. If we succeed here, the Draconis forces will have no leg to stand on in this region. Victory is close at hand.

DURING MISSION

(Hammer Lance: Hammer – Awesome, Wittinger – JagerMech, Benson – Cataphract; McVickers – Catapult)

Hammer: Hammer Lance, form up on me.

Hauk: Hammer 2, ready.

Jules: Hammer 3, ready.

Teresa: Hammer 4, ready.

Hammer: We hit the Combine hard and fast. Grab those big guns, turn them around, and pound the Dracs before they know what’s going on.

Hauk: They say size don’t matter, Captain. But hey, I’m always up for a little ‘shock and awe.’

Teresa: Yeah? Well with your ‘guns’, Hauk, I’d be shocked if anyone were awed.

Jules: Ouch!

Holloway: Um… Remember, Commander, your primary objective is to capture those artillery placements. Make sure all nearby hostiles have been eliminated. Then hold down on the artillery vehicle while you have a ‘Mech selected. That should do it…

Hammer: Gun secured.

Holloway: Understood, we’re moving it out of the combat zone now.

Hammer: One more gun for us.

Holloway: Moving it off.

Hammer: The artillery is ours.

Holloway: Roger that, Hammer Lance.

Hammer: Gun secured.

Holloway: Roger that, Hammer Lance.

Hammer: That’s the last of them.

Holloway: Good work. With these batteries, we should be able to move against their main base. Commander, call for artillery strikes as needed. Designate the target coordinates by holding on the map without any MechWarriors selected.

Hammer: The base is wide open. Move in and clear it out.

Hauk: With pleasure, boss.

Omata: The skilled commander does not press his fight when at a disadvantage. We shall do battle another day.

Hammer: The base is ours, Command.

Holloway: Roger that, Hammer Lance. Salvage teams are on their way.
