Its an old pirate tactic to gain distance and get lost in the sensor shadows. If he intentionally seems to come into view again soon its a trap. Small less equipped unit will mine rough terrain to knock out Mechs legs or keep then slow inside a pre designated mortar strike zone."</em><br/><br/><em>"I agree with Hector's assessment Sir, we used similar tactics in the Silver Hawks. I recommend caution in proceeding."</em><br/><br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/VolcanoMechView_zpsc97c6f34.jpg)<br/><br/>Allia took in the reports from the unit, realizing that there were a lot of ways that this could go if the Pirates were waiting for them, or at least notified of their arrival.  They'd received very little in terms of the full capability of the pirates outside of the raids where the Hussars were actively engaging the pirates. But there wasn't any way of knowing which way to take the situation.  She looked out at the field trying to imagine what she would do.  "All units hold position!"  She called out along the command frequency to make sure everyone heard it.  "S'hot, Butterfly link up with Long Tom, and sweep to the south west towards the small mountain, see if you can't pick up anything with Long Tom's Beagle.  Stay at long range just in case.  Shinigami, Sloane, Link up with me.  We're going to sweep west towards the volcano edge.  Bear, Ronin, Rabid and Harper link up with command and spread out.<br/><br/>Allia pulled Gheistwulf back down the edge of the ridgeline she was on, turning off her stealth armor and activating her Beagle Probe she linked up in the middle of the line with Sloane and Shinigami heading west.
