As you are deploying John calls out to everyone else, "Target one is B1. Once we get that down, we both eliminate one of the enemy high-ground camps, and we'll have a good spot to snipe from." To which Irvine replies, "Roger that, commencing signature masking and electronic monitoring. Stay close and in the bubble now." Then Harald pipes up with "If B1 is our first main target, I could keep our right flank clear of enemies by clearing up camp A1."

> Get a trailer ready but don't get on yet, move slightly forward so I have a good view of A2 not blocked by friendlies.
Set Railgun rounds to Frag and Autocannon to Scatter Rounds for both barrels.
Zoom in on camp A2, see what sort of enemies are there if I can.
Pilot name: John Freemech
Description: An energetic man with a fearsome beast of a goatee.
You lurch over to a trailer and ride on down the exit ramp, before taking a good look out towards A2, unfortunately this area has heavy Nanite pollution and dust storms, and you can't make out anything at this distance.
Mech: Starbanger
maart3n
Charge towards A1 and smash my spear into the closest enemy I meet.

>Irvine: Prowl on out without a trailer, since Delta can keep pace with the trailers on foot. Start jamming enemy sensors once we're closer, and monitor any comms chatter. If they spot us, switch over to jamming their comms instead so they can't radio home.
Pilot Name: Irvine Callahan
Description: A lanky, tanned American pilot who lost his right eye before joining the mercs. It doesn't seem to have negatively affected his piloting skills. Calm and confident.
Ability: Evasion Focus [Scaling/variable skill: Evasion Focus (3) = +3 evasion, -3 accuracy. Evasion Focus (5) = +5 evasion, -5 accuracy. Etc.]
After starting up, you walk out of the Mechbay and engage your Hybrid Electronic Suite to severely impair any sensors that the Reavers might have before heading towards A1.
Mech: Bloodhound "Delta"
If you want to wait for everyone to arrive at the same time [go slower than your top speed] then say so
[the little orange crosses represent roughly where each group of mechs is]
John, Harald and Markus are all still at the exit ramp, while Barqa, Johann and Irvine are headed towards A1.
