Kate was pleased at the small size of the combat area. It looked good for giving her enough room to keep her a decent range for both LRM and autocannon, but not so big that Chi would be able to keep out, far enough to just keep picking away with the<em>Daimyo's</em>ER-PPC.<br/><br/>As Kate maneuvered east, she fired her autocannon and LRM at Chi's mech. This route would hopefully keep Chi at a distance longer, forcing to go around or through the low woods. Another nice turn for Kate, those woods would only really hinder movement but they weren't high enough to block line of sight.<br/><br/>For a final touch, Kate fired her forward facing medium laser into a wooded patch in front of her, the one in the south eastern corner of the map. Her<em>CN9-D3</em>was equipped with triple strength myomer. If Kate could get her mechs heat to that perfect spot, the added boost to movement should ensure her the edge there. With that, Kate would then be able to quickly close the distance, and use the empowered TSM to finish Chi off in hand to hand, a form of combat every<em>Atlas</em>pilot quickly learns to enjoy.
