Battletech - Smuggler's Base

Operation Smuggler's Base

While weapons are plentiful on Thurrock, new weapons aren't. They get smuggled onplanet at any one of a dozen rogue smuggler's bases. Most of them are deep in the woods or protected by mountains to keep them from being seen, just like this one.

The Lance was sent out on an extended patrol to try and find a hidden smuggler's base. This is used by a band of pirates/smugglers supplying two of the warlords of Thurrock with drugs and weapons. So they need to be taken out.

The primary target are two bunkers next to the landing pad. They are used for storage, defense and hydrogen tanks for the dropship. Needless to say, they and the landing field are vital to the smugglers.

The secondary target is the lance of mechs defending the location. These are not the best, at best they are washed-up mercenaries defending someone else's stash before the customer retrieves it.

Tricks
The trick with this is map is the large patch of heavy woods around the landing pad. This can prove ideal for the defending smugglers, luring them out of the woods is essential.
