    Totally agree, if you have the force advantage this turn, you might as well push the attack. Our initial attacks will focus on destroying infrastructure and softening their static defenses. An early victory here will certainly lower their morale and make them easier to defeat during the final assault (ie. reducing morale will reduce OpFor BV bonuses; see Master Rules p9 for details). As for the derelict, we have no idea what it holds and it may not contain anything of use to us. Perhaps there are sources we have yet to tap to gather more intel? ;). In regards to distance, you can see that for yourself on Roll20. Remember that you have 1 MP per Turn unless you roll "Efficient" which doubles that to 2MP. Currently, only Delta is in range to hit it this Turn, but raiding the dropship site would also put them out of range of Coltelli for the Turn.

    For Alpha's part, we are operating at 100% and our speed will give us an advantage pushing the offensive. If everyone in my lance is on board with the idea, we will focus on harassing the Martillo defenses and uncovering what intel we can in preperation for a final assault. If we delay the assault at least one week, that should give Delta time to get fully repaired.

    And just so their is no confusion with anything said above: regardless of our actions, the Martillo HQ will be our biggest battle yet. It will take at least two weeks laying siege to the fortress before we can hope to take it. Prepare for a battle of attrition.

    So I am all for allowing Delta to investigate the dropship while Alpha Harasses the Martillo HQ and Gamma is willing to scout north (so we don't run into any unpleasant surprises and can support delta in case the kick open a hornets nest)

    Kicking open hornets nests is our speciality.

    We are in a pretty shit position, with the ambush and super high enemy BV this turn. We do have the movement to kick shit though. And we DO have some nice level 3 Heavy Support.

    So, we may have another source of information eh? Time to read stuff for clue!

    Yea, seriously though. Maybe if can smash that fort early in the siege with enough artillery we can provoke our bounty target into fleeing it like a German from the Fuhrer bunker with Russia at the door. We nab and interrogate him. Any other persons of interest we looked over?

    Anyone else we can interrogate?

    It was either Martillo or Rebels.. I can't remember. I'm not sure Delta does a good job of taking people alive either

    Gamma Lance captured one Martillo mercenary from the last mission drop. One Valkyrie-QA pilot, Ángelo Lin.

    Oh well. LET THE INTERROGATION BEGIN!:psychotic:

    So obviously, we question him about the dropship to see if it's even worth our time. Anything else we want to put him to the grill for?
