MechWarrior: Tactical Command/Twycross Mission 2

Mission 2

Objectives:

  • Destroy Clan supply depots

Mission Description

Armstrong: Our original plan was to join Prince Victor and the FedCom army mustering on the Plain of Curtains. That is no longer possible, and our communications with the rest of our forces are cut off. Any questions?

Kendra: Are the Jade Falcons jamming us?

Armstrong: No, Lieutenant. It’s a natural phenomenon on Twycross. The Diabolis.

David: Diabolis?

Holloway: A giant sandstorm that rages over Twycross’ desert region. In fact, it’s likely the reason Prince Victor chose this planet to make a stand. The Diabolis interferes with communications and sensors. The Clans won’t gain as large an advantage from their advanced technology.

Armstrong: Since we’re behind enemy lines, we’ll use the storm to our advantage. Sergeant Holloway, give them the mission plan.

Holloway: We’re in a position to strike at the Clan’s supply depots in the region. The depots are lightly defended, with only a few light ‘Mechs patrolling the area. Use the storm’s cover to evade them as you take out the depots. The Falcons will likely bring in reinforcements as soon as you start hitting their supplies, so make this quick.

DURING MISSION

Objectives:

  • Destroy the enemy supply depots
  • Exit the Mission Area

Dominga: I am at your command.

David: Oh, you have got to be kidding.

Holloway: Colonel Armstrong vouches for Dominga Pryde’s loyalty.

Kyle: So…You always side with the winner?

Dominga: It is the Way of the Clans, that the strong shall lead. Until today, that was Clan Jade Falcon. I shall say no more on it.

Holloway: Be advised, Commander. The Diabolis hinders our radar as well as the enemy’s. Communications might get spotty. Don’t expect air support or artillery strikes.

Kendra: What can we expect, then?

David: Trouble.

Holloway: All bases have been destroyed, Commander. Get your people out of there.

Kendra: The Jade Falcons are going to be very angry once they find out we blew up more of their bases.

Kyle: Aren’t Clanners always angry?

Dominga: Just because we are highly disciplined does not mean we lack a sense of humor.

David: Yeah? You know any good jokes?

(No response from Dominga)

David: Thought so.
