Crappy all assault mech missions with poor balance. Lazy scenario writing that my 10 year old nephew could do. Mix the design up a bit for mechs sake. Slogging it out with 21 units vs my 4 and everything getting

This dlc's mission series is an assault mech-only slog with NO TIME TO REPAIR ANYTHING. The story is okay... Some of the missions get really difficult. I had to savescum quite a bit and hope the AI was too stupid to

I counted 6000 tons of enemies between tanks/vtols/mechs in some of these missions, most of which will spawn 2 feet from you. The 1980s want their cheap tactics gameplay back!

Rival Mercenary Companies -There are 18 different mercenary companies that will move around the map. You're given a long term mission to gather intel on them. Defeating each in battle will provide increasing rewards.

Would not recommend this particular DLC for the story missions. The game does a piss poor job with the difficulty scaling in this one. You need to somehow amass at least 8 assault mechs which wouldn't be that

Horrible balance. It's basically unplayable unless you already have several fully built lances by the time you start it. If you start in 3035 or any time close to it, you have to do a bunch of difficulty 90 missions
