MechWarrior 4: Vengeance/Lion's Mouth

Lion’s Mouth[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Badger: The remnants of Dresari’s forces in the capital are regrouping at Lion Base. Dresari built the base after early rebel attempts to seize government buildings on the south side of the park.

Eric: Nothing like a battalion of ‘Mechs outside the window to swing a vote your way.

Badger: Exactly. Dresari himself may be at the base if he hasn’t already fled to the palace grounds north of the city proper.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW[edit]

Lion’s Mouth: The majority of Ian Dresari’s urban forces has amassed at Lion Base. A victory here by the Legion could prove to be the final blow that topples Dresari’s reign once and for all.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Badger: Lion Base is located at Nav Alpha. It is heavily defended by ‘Mechs and turrets. Looks like all their power is drawn from internal generators, and turrets are on autonomous control. The short and sweet is you’re going to have to pound your way through this one.

Eric: Good thing I brought my hammer.

Eric: Looks like we have some ‘Mechs inbound on our position. Two ‘Mechs and some tanks.

Badger: Rebel forces are hitting the base now from the north. It looks like they’ve drawn off a lance or two. There isn’t going to be a better time or a second chance. Hit ‘em hard, sir!

Radcliffe: The patrol is eliminated, sir.

Badger: There’s plenty more where they came from. Keep heading to Alpha. We’re picking up some activity to the north of the base.

Badger: One lance of rebel Assault ‘Mechs attacking from the north! They’re intercepting some of the Lion Base’s patrols. Don’t know how long they can last.

Eric: Assault ‘Mechs? Must be throwing everything they have at the Lion!

Radcliffe: We may want to get to their position and reinforce them. It’ll improve our odds, sir.

Eric: We’ve got government buildings to the south and Lion Base in the middle of a park to the northwest. Lots of turrets. Let’s take ‘em down!

Eric: Is that MechWarrior running away?

Badger: Rebels are advancing all throughout the city. Ian’s days are numbered. Those ‘Mech pilots can see the writing on the wall. If we take Lion Base out, it is just a matter of time before Ian falls.

Radcliffe: Another MechWarrior is leaving the field! We’ve broken their spirit, sir!

Radcliffe: Watch the rooftops! They’re littered with turrets.

Badger: Sir, the rebels have taken heavy casualties and are fleeing the area.

Eric: Badger, this is Black Knight. We’re in the perimeter. Engaging base defenders!

Badger: Black Knight, look for the HQ and take it out! They won’t hold out long without Tactical Command.

Badger: Base defenders neutralized. Take out those latecomers, and the city is ours!

Badger: Dresari ‘Mechs inbound from the south. Looks like a full Assault Lance. Repeat, Dresari Assault Lance approaching from the south.

Eric: Acknowledged.

Eric: Dresari forces eliminated. We did it! All forces regroup at Legion HQ. Tomorrow we leave Kentares one Duke short of a royal family.
