Thunderbolt & Lightning: Very very frightening!

Terrain & Scenario The table was a 12 by 5 ft or so terrain with Roads running the length and a city (Biggin Central) in the middle. It had some surrounding buildings in various states of repair and (of course) a wrecked monorail. There were numerous abandoned vehicles littering the streets. Biggin Central in central Antargra was being defended by a mercenary force of Wolverines who were well dug into the city: so much so that they were hard to spot by normal surveillance methods... Though their HQ had been narrowed down to one of three buildings, their actual deployment would have to be spotted by the “Mark One Eyeball”. The scenario was that the Antargrans are ‘on their way’ but can’t do it by themselves so they have pulled in two Mercenary supports acts: the Thunderbolt Legion and the Waldheim Dragoons. Having picked this up, the Wolverines have called on other Mercenary companies and a large force of Lightnings have just arrived and are deploying in the centre of town. The Lighning’s big tracked and blower vehicles are being monitored and their locations are obvious to the attackers (though who knows where their infantry have skedaddled to!). In fact, Tomny had deployed them in buildings, awaiting ambush opportunities: just what I would have done!
