Tactical RPG

Here's how this works. I'll pose a tactical scenario and you have to come up with a creative way to solve the problem. After so many replies I'll post a new scenario, or you can suggest one. Here we go:

You are escorting a recycler. You have five sp-stab sabres and are personally in a chain scout. You are going through a canyon with a pair of blast assault tanks in it. How do you get past them safely?

Amusing uneven terrain, mortaring the assault talks via one of the tanks would work, using the slight bits of cover to be sure you have a nice shot from a good range. You should have the tanks placed so they can attack from both sides should the target assault tank begin to try to reach you. When 2 attack from either side of the canyon the tank either has to concentrate on you or one of the other 4 tanks thus if you lose one, it has to take a moment to re-target another. Most likely it will stay after you and you can just doge its fire.

The scout would protect the Recycler and use it's ability to paint one target at a time to warn of any attacks coming from the rear.

Depends. What type of mortar is in the tank? Is there mortar in the blast assaults? Assaults with AI control will tend to prefer using mortars vs tanks.

Either way, hope in tank, order all other units to rush, and just kill the ass tanks. Assault blast takes a long time to reload anyhow. If they are using MDM, different story, since they will pummel a swarming force.

Real method: Complain to the dropship captain for, YET AGAIN, dropping you off in a stupid canyon rather than the actual deploy site.

Get in a tank, make the rest wait, use the terrain to my advantage while I pummel both Atanks myself. Killing Atanks in non-open terrain is easy
