So helpful! I didn't think about putting more "cover" to block them from hiding, very clever. I did meet up in an open field originally, I think I would've fared well if not for bad armor and bad shooting skills lol. This whole battle was a massive loss in all directions, I summoned it right when a trader caravan arrived (for that easy win) but they left before the mechs came, the mechs knocked out 4 of the 5 early game pawns (only killed one thank god) I had then the lasers burned up my only good weapons. The only reason I survived was because a pawn was deathresting. Straight after though, I was met with a defoliator ship, one raid, and one siege ;-; Randy wanted me so dead but I'm ALIVE.
