MISSIONS FOR THE WOLVES 2 (MINDWIPE)

 Mindwipe is a new mission among ITS missions with some lovely new aproach. At first sight, it seems like you need a hacker to be succesful in the mission. But not at all. We will investigate this new mission today and will check how can we succeed at it with TAK way.

Lets start with checking how we get points in this mission.

 At the end of the game, have Destroyed the Enemy Server containing the Rogue AI (3 Objective Points).

 At the end of the game, have Destroyed the same number of Enemy Servers as your opponent, (1 Objective Point, but only if at least 1 Server has been Destroyed by the player).

At the end of the game, have Destroyed more Servers than your opponent (2 Objective Points). 

At the end of the game, if your Server with the Rogue AI is not Destroyed (2 Objective Points).

At the end of the game, if none of your Servers are Destroyed (1 Objective Point). »Activate one Console (1 Objective Point).

So. looks like we need to destroy opponents' servers and defend ours. To destroy a server, we need to push buttons in mid table with standart wip check to learn, in which server ( which is in opponents' deployment zone ) Rogue AI is in.

The Servers can only be damaged by CC Attacks with CC Weapons possessing the Anti-materiel Trait, with D-Charges, or with the Special Hacking Program: Data Erasure. Servers cannot be attacked during the first Game Round.

So our first round, we will push some buttons, kill some bad guys, maybe relocate our troops and increase our defensive state. With second round, we will attack to servers and try to destroy them as much as we can.

After checking the mission, i came up with these lists below.

First turn, we need to push buttons. So i decided to make it with Scout forward observer in second goup. If he dies even with his first order, i put a strelok in second group to put some mines around servers to not loose orders. 

Spetsnaz in the second group is our potential hero. We will bring him later in second turn to use some dcharges.

First combat group, irmandinho will try to use his smokes to arrive where he needs to push buttons. By smoking around, it can create more mobility options for our units too. In first turn, we can try to kill some units with our link either. Depends on how opponent is settled.

If the opponent has many infiltrators, better to bring our link in action to use our sensor on mid table first.

There are many troops with dcharge here. Frontovik, Spetsnazs,Irmandinho and 2 scouts have dcharges.

Scout LT is interesting ,since we can use her dcharges to win the game after hiding him for a while.

If you have some left orders after some success with wip rolls, try to put some mines around the servers with scouts and streloks. It is essential to protect our zone in this mission.

Here is a second option.

Dcharge masters

──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1  

 IRMANDINHO Chain Rifle, D-Charges, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CC Weapon. (0 | 8)

 FRONTOVIK (Multispectral Visor L1) AP Sniper Rifle ( ) / Assault Pistol, CC Weapon. (0.5 | 30)

 LINE KAZAK (Forward Observer) Rifle, Flash Pulse / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 10)

 LINE KAZAK (Paramedic) Rifle ( | MediKit) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 11)

 LINE KAZAK (Paramedic) Rifle ( | MediKit) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 11)

 LINE KAZAK (Lieutenant) Rifle / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 9)

 LINE KAZAK Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0.5 | 16)

 PAVEL McMANNUS Ohotnik, Chain-colt, Shock Mines, D-Charges / Pistol, T2 CC Weapon. (0 | 32)

 SCOUT (Forward Observer) Ohotnik, D-Charges, Flash Pulse, Shock Mines / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 30)

GROUP 2

 IRMANDINHO Chain Rifle, D-Charges, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CC Weapon. (0 | 8)

 STRELOK (Minelayer) Boarding Shotgun, Shock Mines / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0.5 | 21)

 STRELOK K-9 Submachine Gun, Chain-colt, Shock Mines / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 24)

   K-9 ANTIPODE Trench-Hammer, AP CC Weapon. (0 | 8)

 VASSILY (Chain of Command) T2 Sniper Rifle, D-Charges / Heavy Pistol, CC Weapon. (1 | 40)

 STRELOK (Forward Observer) Boarding Shotgun, Flash Pulse / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 20)

 SPETSNAZ (Mimetism [-3], Parachutist]) AP Rifle, Grenades, D-Charges / Pistol, AP CC Weapon. (0 | 30)

 2.5 SWC | 300 Points

Idea here is staying more defensively with your link and put pressure on mid table with snipers. Frontovik can see in smokes.

Both irmandinhos and infiltrator specialists will try to push button as earliest as possible.

Strelok with K9 can sensor around and together with minelayer , they can be a brick on the way to our own servers for more defensive duty.

Vassily here is the last option for this mission. He is a specialist if you loose all your specialists and have dcharges to do the final job. He is stilll deadly as hell with t2 sniper rifle he has.

Pavel is the killer of opponents' infiltrators and have dcharge too. He can be hero of the day.

We have again a spetsnaz .

I liked both of the lists and i guess this mission is easy for us. If you like you can bring a warddriver for some defence and for that extra order plus data erasure thing. But i am sure that opponent will bring some better hackers and she will die easily on the way of trying to be a hero.

Good day. See you next time.
