So, I'm at a loss here. Im reading into the Null Set and the Royalty and Rogues modules and I can't understand how the players should ever be able to win the described 'mech battles. In the first pages it's stated that the games are meant for at least 2 player characters (Mechwarriors), and at least one of them should own a Medium 'mech. The enemy forces in the first battle of Royalty and Rogues are made out of FIVE 'mechs, two of which are heavy. In the first battle in Null Set, the book says a party of 4 OR LESS should be able to defeat a command lance made out of FOUR ASSAULT 'mechs.
Am I missing something here? Or should I just throw these recommendation out of the window and come up with my own opposing forces.
PS: I'm fairly new to the tabletop game, so I don't know for sure how competent a party of player characters should be.
