Battle 3: Round 6Read this part, yo.Just so we are all on teh same page: there is a clering around teh enemy compound. Within that clearing is a tall electrified fence. Within the fence, the compound is composed of one, very large , rather ancient looking ziggurat. Gotta be like, at least ten Empirical Long Time Units old. ... Why, those automatic gun emplacements at each corner aren't even the newest models! Still pretty big and powerful though. Shiny. But not Empire Shiny. Just ... Ominous.

Sergeants can be such hardasses, yo. but seriously, you don't want to deny this platoon their chewing resin. even if it is artificial and tastes like ass.
We're gonna start you out with platoon 1, having already landed with that brick, and we'll have you tag along this round so you don't fall too far behind and get eaten by eels.

TM base, but you are going in roughly the right direction. Hey, driving eels is hard, yo.
Brick 1 death rollsSN003 and Re001 are both grazed by a shot from one of the corner cannons. They come to out in teh middle of the clearing, having been flung forward by the force of the blast.

Generally will require a spotter on location, or otherwise able to transmit firing coordinates.

Cyborg: A standard laser is built into each arm, but must be deployed to activate, and cannot be deployed while the launchers are active.

You have integrated communications equipment in your head, and multiple wavelength eyes - just select normal, infrared, UV, or lowlight.
"Hey! Jag005 Dug! Maybe you could use your prisoner to find out where their artillery is? Some coordinates would be nice. YOU KNOW. BECAUSE I'M ARTILLERY."
If I get firing coordinates, fire guided missiles at their base/artillery. Otherwise, join OcE006 in heading to their base.
[Error: Tube not loaded. Action aborted. Updating: loading. Loading. Loading. Loaded!] This takes the whole turn, so you fail to fire your artillery in the vague and general direction so instructed.

Brick 4 Death Rolls(3) another artillery shell falls nearby. this one does some damage. let's see
CW004, you lose your last layer of armor and one limb. It can be one that's already damaged.
Yo008, you die. You can respawn as a corporal and climb right back in to the hovercraft if you want. That'll take place in the time between turns so you can ride along without making the others wait.
Instructions for next roundBrick One: You are on the northeast corner of the base. three of the autoguns can target you, as well as 5 of the 8 guard towers. Not all of them will at any given point though.

Brick Four:You're in a boat. Or rather, a hovercraft. it sits low enough on it's skirt that it may as well be a boat, half the time.
