Mission Six
Mission Objective: Fight for your escape on the plateau. Don't damage the shuttle that's your only means of getting off the planet.

Primary Objectives: Destroy Smoke Jaguar Forces.

Secondary Objective: None

Difficulty: Hard

Mech Recommendation: Heavy Mech with ample close-range firepower, such as an Ultra AC 20 or Gauss Rifle, and tons of ammunition.

Like the previous mission, the area you fight in isn't that large. This mission is simple: defeat the five Mechs that come charging at you from Op. Able. Among the group are a Dashi, a Supernova, a Madcat, and two Caldron-Borns - one piloted by the diabolical Commander Corbett.

As soon as you have a Mech in sight (usually the Madcat to your left), order your lancemates to engage. Make sure the Madcat is targeting your lancemates, then blow apart the Madcat from a distance with lasers or missiles. By now, the other Mechs have approached. Get each of your lancemates engaged with a single Mech and begin pounding random Mechs with your Gauss Rifle or autocannon. Bring enough ammunition with you that you don't run out against these tough Mechs.

Though your lancemates might start breaking apart, keep concentrating on getting head shots on various Mechs. If you're using autocannons or the Gauss Rifle, it shouldn't take too long before they finally go down. By the time you finally outnumber the enemy force, the mission will nearly be complete. As soon as you've destroyed the last Mech, your commanding officer radios in that the shuttle is ready for boarding. Congratulations, Mechwarrior!
