Even though Nordis turned your last attack into a propaganda victory, General Clellic still sent a runner to express his compliments on keeping the industrial mechs from reaching their destination. The cash gained from their sale is enough to fund operations for about a month, and the General wants to take the opportunity to pull the various militias together for a bold regiment-level attack.

Fort Merdeth is home to several units of regulars as well as Republican Guard. More importantly, it's the site of the Nordis Officer's Academy. The officer's school has become a political tool for the regime, so a victory here will carry symbolic meaning. We've been designated as Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion while in the combined regiment structure.

3rd Battalion's mission will be to attack from the west, providing an anvil for 1st Battalion's armor to hammer against. The western approach to the fort is bordered by a large irrigation canal except for a gatehouse and a small bridge. Beta through Delta companies will attack cover and hold the North-South highway while our company attacks over the bridge. The bridge is not sturdy enough to support the weight of mechs, but the irrigation canal is too deep for non-mechs to cross.

We'll also be embedding reporters from the KAP within Alpha Company and others to provide documentation in case Nordis tries to manipulate the event again. To this end, however, it's imperative that the units the reporters are assigned to units that will have a good view of the fighting, and they survive to validate their footage. It goes without saying that with the press embedded we need to prevent any civilian casualties. Building damage should be kept to an absolute minimum.
