In the Jungle Patrol mission, at nav Alpha you run into a star of Clan Mechs. Their leader is Jeffer Roshak. If you order your lancemates to attack him, some of them will refuse to do so. Anybody know why?
Aw, c’mon. Nobody knows this one? What a bunch of non-geeks…
Eh, my battletech years are behind me, and I haven’t had a chance to play Mercenaries yet, but in a vain effort to assist, I wonder if there’s any connection between Jeffer Roshak and Ter Roshak, and whether some of your lancemates have a history regarding that bloodname.
There’s a shot in the dark that’s completely useless, but hey, I tried…
Eck, you’re talking about Mech 4? I’ve stopped playing the main for the past month, but IIRC he challenges you (not your entire star!) to single combat. Just use your ballistic weapons to paste the bugger.
To breeze through the campaign, just use the heaviest mech with twin clan LBX-20’s. Sure, you get creamed at range, but close in and you’ll rip them apart in 3-4 shots.
Those were my two guesses–that Roshak owes some of my people a bunch of money (or they used to ride with him), or some of my people are too snooty to attack somebody who challenged me personally, even though I’m the one signing their paychecks.
Jerks.
In either case, he’s no big problem; I’m usually driving a Sunder by the time I get to him, and 3 PPC’s do awful things to Loki’s.
Thanks!
