Walter gave a smile and a nod to Erich and Graff. He was happy that his chosen Lance Leaders dared speak up. It gave him some insights and perspective on whatever plan he had in mind. In the Kungsarmé it had only been a lot of sycophants agreeing with everything and then trying to steal the seat from under you if the plan went south. He pointed along the passages into the Mechbays.<br/><br/>"The passage is covered in a thick layer of snow. Never underestimate what that does to sound. Graff's Lance are lighter, more spread out in their approach. In my experience even a Marauder will be significantly muffled in such deep snow. If you want to start into the fray earlier Erich, I can suggest we flip the scenario. You advance in through the entrance and give the signal for Graff's Lance to advance. If your attack raise the alarm, which it should, the 'Warriors should burst into the open from the barracks. Just the better to gun them down. As for your worries Graff..." He looked over to the younger officer. They were easy to read while they still weren't Old 'Uns. Erich barely let any of his inner thoughts and fears through, Graff was open like a book. "Just let the light 'Mechs act as your eyes and stand back, your armament is sufficient for long range support. Also I trust that Ranna know by now how to get close to her opponents..."<br/><br/>He paused and looked up, pointing to the moon which was slowly making its way over the void of space. "The fog will come, I'm certain of it. See that shimmering halo around it? That is water particles in the atmosphere. Sunny day means a lot of thawed snow on the mountain peaks, warm water rising up until now. That high up it cools down and starts to come down again, which is what we are seeing as a halo around the moon. Once morning comes those particles will gather around the mountains like a thick soup, creating a secondary cloud barrier around the peaks and covering you from above. And as Erich said, if you run into trouble, just book it to him, his brick of an Awesome have saved my hide enough times to earn six dozens of medals..."
