Well that was a lot of unnecessary worry.
I deployed at the south end of the bridge leading to the main gate. The open terrain wasn't a problem as my
snipers, at long range, were able to sweep the defenders from the wall. That and some 40mm grenade help
along with some poison gas/HE rounds from my mortar. The mad Col. proved to be no tactical genius as the
best he could do was a piecemeal attack for 3-4 soldiers at a time. I had plenty of skilled mercs and nasty weapons
to deal with that easily. Only one merc was injured and that was only two minor wounds that first aid took care of.
The two red boxes supporting the crossing gate provided crucial cover for my best snipers.
So, the Col is dead, but I still have to ferret out a few remaining soldiers hidden in the fort's buildings somewhere.
I'm expecting a very profitable haul of loot!
Capturing this sector is huge as it leads to an easy crossing S/E over to L17 and then north to another big mine and port.
I think taking those will prove to be the beginning of the end.
I could probably afford to replace a couple of my mercs with "better" ones but I'm sorta attached to these folks. Besides,
if it ain't broke....
