Untitled Mecha Game/Recaps/Episode 102

After a waiting out some bad weather, the Team sent the rest of the Cell ahead while they stayed behind to ambush their German pursuers by some farms. A panzer company from the 1st Special Mechanized Division rolled right into the Team's ambush, where they were dispatched in a few seconds of furious violence. There, the Team learned that their battle walkers were incredibly deadly, but not quite invulnerable, and burned through fuel in combat at an incredible rate. Towing a captured Panzer and 4 German soldiers, the Team finally arrived at a secret base – a well hidden series of caves in the Bugey foothills, code named Pointe Haut.

Pointe Haut is under the command of Andre Gallais and home of approximately two dozen resistants. It already boasted a rudimentary maintenance bay for the battle walkers as well as space for the Team to sleep and for the resistants to work. Andre came back a few days later with a deal – Pointe Haut and the Cell would support the Team in their efforts and allow them to act independently, so long as the Team was willing to fight critical missions and maintain operational security. Their first critical mission: deal with German patrols in the area, which will reach the base in a few weeks. Unfortunately, their fuel levels were already critical.

Hoping to secure a fuel supply, the Team set out to Geneva, hoping to enlist the help of, or more likely scam, one of Gustav's relatives. Cross-dressing hijinks and 5 dead SS officers later, the team ran off with Nazi bullion and enough contacts to secure a fuel transport and equipment. After some late nights researching with the help of Gunther, Dr. Schmitt announced he had made a major breakthrough on this front – the possibility of using the redboxes advanced energy management properties and radioactive material to mostly eliminate the battle walkers's need for conventional fuel.

Only a 5 days remain before the elements of the 1st Special Mechanized Division will be close to Point Haut. Will the Team be able to deal with them in time?
