Garrison Duty on the planet of Laurent has been pretty dull as of late. The Snakes haven't made any serious offensive pushes into the border in the past couple of months, and Laurent hasn't been hit at all. Not even a Bandit raid to break up the monotony.
To alleviate some of his troops' boredom, Colonel Wilson has arranged for some simulated combat against elements of the local house troops, the 8th Donegal Guard. The 8th, or "The Mud-Wrestlers" as they are nicknamed, are a Veteran unit that has seen alot of combat against House Kurita. In fact, they were instrumental in pushing back a Draconis assault on Laurent in 3016, so they know the territory well.
Nobody on Laurent expects a lowly Mercenary unit to win, or even put up much of a challenge, against the Guards. Colonel Wilson, therefore, expect you to not lose even one 'Mech!
