Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 25- Solaris Special #3...
"It's Heavy 'Mech fighting time, Solaris fans! It's Duncan Fisher reporting live from the Arena! Tonights lineup has a few up-and-comers who are really looking to make it to the bigtime. Those 'Mechs are packing some serious firepower! It doesn't get any better than this! It's game-time, so sit down and watch the fireworks fly!" 9 matches of brutal all-out fighting, against some of the best pilots in the Arena. Unlike the last two, named Aces make up the bulk of your opposition, with nasty loa...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 24- Overpayed, Overwei...
New 'Mech designs aren't rare, per-se. It's just that most of the effort by 'Mech labs are to try and build and mantain existing designs, as well as upgrading them as new tech is (re)discovered. That's generally why when any side tries to develop something new, everyone immediately tries to claim it. Often by force, and you can't quite top using a full Assault company on that front... The final mission for Davion on Wernke/Talon, not too different to the last honestly, so if you did well there...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 23- The Problem with S...
Wernke itself is not strategically important, since the moon of Talon holds all of the 'Mech works. However, that doesn't mean there's nothing there worth blowing up. In this case, an important communications relay station that isn't important enough to give it's own garrison, but is worth sending a full merc company to hold... The only Wernke mission that actually takes place on Wernke. Honestly, while browsing the Skirmish option I thought this planet only had one mission, since the rest are...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 22A- Investigations in...
A... rather long video, actually, in which we dig into the specifics of the AI's abilities, both your Lance mates plus the enemies depending on the difficulty setting. In summary- yes, there is a noticable difference between low and high skills.

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 22- Quantity has a Qua...
This is it. Time to draw a line in the sand. The Steiners have all the best tech and all the money, but they don't know how to use any of it. Davion, on the other hand... the pay won't be as good, but you need to be alive to spend it, and they seem less likely to screw us over. First drop- go scout out a depot that's gone dark. Should be simple, why they want an all-Assault Company to do this is beyond me. Split #1, the divide between Steiner and Davion. The Thessalonica Guardians will soon be...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 21- ... We Got Your Di...
Even in the 4th Millenium, guns for hire still swear by the Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries. In this case, Spectre and the Thessalonica Guardians will be making good use of #31- Only Cheaters Prosper. After all, only the Falcons are to blame for not expecting a mercenary unit to do something underhanded and dishonourable. The 'infamy' option to close out New Exford. Plays more like a regular mission than a brawl, and gets you some nice pristine Clanner hardware. Also, another...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 20- If You Got the Mon...
Clanners are very proud. As in full of pride, and not the lion type (except Clan Celestial Lions... which probably doesn't exist) Anyway, if you really want to get up a Clan officers goat, there is one move that is gauranteed to do so- challenge them to one of THEIR Trials, under THEIR rules, and for kicks, give THEM the advantage. Then kick their arse all the way back to Strana Mechty. The 'noble' choice for New Exford, and honestly a very fun if short mission, almost on par with Solaris but ...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 19- We Got Fun and Games
Mercenaries apparently get paid by the hour. It's the only explanation as to why they would run a recon-in-force against a group of Clanners, pull out once they scout the navpoints and nowhere else... and then wait a week before running another sortie in the exact same area, just a bit further north... Our first tussle with the closest thing we get to a proper 'boss' enemy, beyond named characters like the Bloody Jeff from the last mission- dropships. They have a ton of health and lots of guns...

Mechwarrior 4: Mercs Part 18- Welcome to the Jun...
Even though a cease-fire no longer officially exists between the Clans and the IS, there isn't any real fighting between them since the Clans lack the logistics for all-out war, and the IS is too busy with internal fighting. The exception- Clan Jade Falcon, second most aggressive after the now-extinct Smoke Jaguars. They loves them some skirmishing action to claim new territory. Like, say, New Exford. The first tangle with pure Clan forces. They don't bring much to a fight, but what they do br...
