Mission 16 - the Art of Ambush

In this mission I escorted a Liao noble - Jason Cho - to a meeting - which turned into a trap for me and my band of Mechs.

My aide came on line and suggested we occupy an abandoned fort nearby. This sounded like a good suggestion so off we went.

The disadvantage is that you have to defend those defenses - if that makes sense - or the turret controls can be recaptured and turned against you. And that's what happened to me over and over.
