On the battle map of Crimson Strait (which I affectionately nickname "Redwater"), Elfcat's MAD Sheller, his flagship 100-ton Marauder II armed with twin 20-bore long range missile launchers, lumbers behind the team toward the elevated port platform, its trailing position exacerbated by a couple of failed attempt to maneuver the massive war machine onto the ramp up from the ground, a hazard of attempting to steer such a beast with one's goggles zoomed. Finally on the ascending ramp, The MAD Sheller joins the smaller LRM-throwers in sending a punishing barrage of the homing missiles high into the air, then crashing down into the opponents attempting to push over the "saddle", a pass between two hills just behind the port, as well as others attempting a flanking maneuver around one of the hills, including a lightweight Spider mech attempting to set up a sniper position on the face of the hill. As our lance advances onto the elevated port platform and allies set up a firing line underneath to fire upwards at "the saddle", opponents on that hill are treated to more LRM fire, complicated somewhat by structures in the path of the missiles. During the exchange, The MAD Sheller depletes its ammunition. But the work is not over for this assault-class mech, which unlocks its arms, heats up its arm-mounted small pulse lasers, and pushes forward to the platform's edge, hulking a dozen meters above the charging adversaries and contributing, with comrades, to the repulsion of the opponents' charge which completes their defeat.
