Game 1 -

Good fighting everyone , and excellent job for our 1st drop.
The battle lasted from 2:30-4:30 am for me, so i was a little sleepy .... And i had some dreams about it too
I just reported the lost battle on the TWL server...
What I learned from this:
- Always take out the biggest mechs first (they did it with
Art in the first drop )
- We have to arrive to battle site with mechlist and MW list carved in stone
(they were getting pissed off before the 2nd drop, since it took ages to get
some of our MW into the cockpit, u know who you are )
- Art is a lot better FC than me. I cant fight and translate my commands at a
same time, I'm not that multifunctional. The second drawback of being a
Hungarian citizen, the first is that Merc will take weeks to arrive here
- I love my Ryoken and my Mad Cat too
Next battle will be booked after 24hs from now.
We have 17 players on the TWL list now so we will have to make some pre-battle "fights" to decide who will be the 5 to 8 lucky one to fight.
We are ranked 19 from 23 teams.
Feel free to kick me in the head for the lost battle
The team was very-very good at the second drop....next time
we will get them !!!

Although we lost our first drop, a few observations of my own
(GEN Arturus)...
1) It was a pleasure to lead you guys into combat...you listened and followed
orders excellently...
2) Our drop commanders may ALL have some slightly different methods of command
and priorities...That what makes it interesting...!
3) My priority was to take out those opposing MWs with the most kills out of the
game first (i.e. each of us have 7 respawns...take out the guy with 1 left
first). This allows you to quickly gain a numerical superiority. During the
second drop we had all 5 of our MWs standing and the OF was down to 2...Another
5 mins. in the match and we would have won...!
4) Without the smaller mechs harassing the opposing team, they will pick us
off...one by one...
5) All-in-all great showing...We done good !!!
Lastly...I want to thank Winter for all his assistance during this process. He
did a marvelous job setting this up and leading the first drop...He also handled
all the scoring/reporting...
'til the next drop...!

MechWarrior 4®: Mercenaries Tramples Onto Store Shelves
Microsoft Game Studios today announced that MechWarrior 4®: Mercenaries has
begun to appear on store shelves in North America. MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries is
the latest standalone installment of the critically acclaimed MechWarrior
action-simulator franchise and features more than 35 'Mechs, new weapons, 19 new
multiplayer maps and a brand new electronics package. MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries
is available for an estimated retail price of $49.99 (U.S.).
MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries combines the popular gun-for-hire theme with a
dynamic storyline and several features never before seen in the MechWarrior
universe. Following the rise to power of a newly formed Mercenary MechWarrior
Company, MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries allows players to affiliate with the
Northwind Highlanders, Gray Death Legion, Kell Hounds or Wolf's Dragoons to
experience a captivating story line that evolves based on players' actions
during the game. Features include the ability to command up to eight 'Mechs at
one time, as well as new multiplayer options and a new dynamic single player
campaign with more than 40 missions. Developed by Cyberlore Studios Inc. in
conjunction with Microsoft's FASA Studio, MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries challenges
players to decide whether to remain a neutral party in the conflict or
intentionally accept contracts that will set them firmly against one of the
great Noble Houses. Completing missions for either side ultimately determines
the fate of the players' band of mercenaries, and the path they choose
determines how their quest ends. For more information about MechWarrior 4:
