Winter and Slyp, my most recent post coupled with Milkman's should give you a good link into things!

Ten Minutes Earlier...

From inside the trailer, the brass watched as the Roughriders systematically and creatively massacred the opposition with little to show in loss or damage to their own number. The damage sustained was repairable in field, and their ammo count was good - not to mention, that had the operative been live, they likely would've had support and supplies. All the same, the high-ups held their opinions to their chests and tried not to show any sign of being impressed or disappointed either way, before General Houseman, the advocate and supporter for the scheme to create the 'riders turned to his colleagues, standing close to Winter and Venessa as he did so.
"Well, gentlemen. As you can see, Colonel Blade and his people have effectively dealt with the first group of hostiles. They have done so effectively, through the use of aggressive tactics and firepower, and a balance of the varied types of GEAR and personnel within the unit. This only forms the first part of the exercise, of course. The second will be the capture of the red force HQ, and the rescue of the personnel within, after insertion of an infantry unit for support. With that in mind, we're going to mix things up somewhat". He turned to Winter and Venessa and gave them a nod, and tilted his head toward the door.
"Now, while everything so far has been somewhat 'standard' and understandable, let's see how our team react when a couple of random elements - Our pilots here - enter the mix and the 'riders have to deal with them, as well as what they're expecting".

Now:
Blade observed the footage from Olivers' drone and then grimaced as he saw the two pilots. Not because of their appearance, or because of the tigers' antics (especially because of earlier), but instead, because the fox knew the pair: Venessa and Winter; both pilots he was familiar with and had requested as part of his group. Evidently, his friends and allies had been interfering with his orders and interpreting them creatively, and had decided to turn the pair into obstacles in their training mission - hopefully as a prelude to turning them over.
"Things just got interestin', team," he added to his previous brief. "We're gonna have two very canny and wily opponents, both with pretty dang hardcore GEARs. They're gonna be a serious factor... we're gonna wanna confuse 'em as much as we can; spam their freeqs, ghost their sensors, and dance aroun 'em and hit 'em with as much with as much as possible - try an' get 'em mission-killed even if we can't completely annihilate 'em. Lure 'em out of th' main pack, and then slam 'em down - Ken, yer our main asset in that role - once we hit those defences, target the two military-spec GEARs and get 'em in hit an' run attacks. Aim to cripple their mobility, but keep yer speed up. Right, guys - no more ta say. Let's get this plan movin. Roll out!"

I haven't heard from him - I'll give him til tomorrow, and then send a PM his way to see where he's got to.

EDIT: A bit of a look at his previous posts reveals he's said it's finals week, hence his quietness. I imagine he'll drop in shortly to say something and catch up.

Just in case you might have missed it Silver, let me know when you want us to enter as enemy reinforcements.

I'll be on it this evening!

I am expressing interest for when there is a opening

I'll add you to the list - at the moment, everything looks pretty good for our player group, but as soon as something happens, i'll let you know.

I'd open up the int-check again as well - you might net a few more players, which will keep things going a bit stronger as well. And it's a good time in terms of the story as well, since we're about to land at a new base and all that jazz.
You're more than welcome to advertise in GEARs for more players, especially.

It's my go-to strategy session music. The 'making of' version is even better.
I have other tracks in mind for when we get into some truly epic confrontations (if we get that far).

It's like a nervous tic or something. Maybe he puts it on because people expect it. ;-)

Jeez, Incubus, hard to please much? The first half of the mission you were whining about not being a scout or in close combat, now I've put you in close combat you're whining about not being a sniper. I'll be sure to do that in the next sortie so Mike can then whine about not being artillery or a helicopter or something.
I did look at everyone's GEAR sheets before I planned the op.....

Lol.. Silver go take a peek in the State of Disarray OOC.

I should put that in my sig or something. I really want it to take off across the forum now. I'll feel like I'm internet famous xD

Re: this game, I apparently just needed to have a conversation with my good friend Johnnie Walker to make a good post, and now I'm excited about getting into the battle. A bit of the eva soundtrack, and we have an exciting post of battle-planning strategy, complete with music! GO TEAM!
