Mechanised Aces Heroes Mechanised Aces Heroes
with Andrew Haught

To accompany last week’s Mechanised Aces content, I decided to put together background stories for some heroes I am thinking of running in future Mechanised Aces campaigns here at Battlefront. For me, it is important to create my Ace's story before I decide what skills to pick up. I always start with the final list of heroes that I feel like I want to build.

Samuel Lawson
Sergeant Samuel Lawson received a field promotion during his first taste of action in Italy. His Platoon Commander was shot and Lawson was thrown into the deep end right away when asked to fill his former commander’s shoes.

Orders did not naturally come to Lawson but on that day in Anzio he made it look easy. Though slow at first, Lawson quickly learned the importance of speed. Being in the right place at the right time is the key to victory, and that is what Lawson told his superiors when asked for a report after the battle.

Word of his exploits soon spread and orders where soon given promote Lawson to Company Commander full-time. Lawson felt he still had to prove himself not only to his men but to himself due to his rapid promotion. Some men are forged by fire; Lawson hopes he has been forged into something strong enough to punch through the German fortified position known as the Gothic Line.

Kurt Wulf
“They want Rome; I can feel it,” Kurt Wulf said to his men. “It’s a prize that will distract the Americans; we must use this time to escape to fortify our positions so the Allies cannot take them from us.”

Kurt smiled as he heard his orders to get moving pass through the company. As the engines of the half-tracks revved up, Kurt looked towards Rome, knowing that it would be the only Axis capital to fall to the wretched Allies. Their greed will be their own undoing. Taking the city will cost them time; time to let the Germans reinforce their defences.

Tomas Baker
Tomas Baker’s crew were still stunned from the shell that hit Baker’s Humber armoured car. No one noticed the PaK40, save Baker at the last moment. If he had not reacted in time, the shell would have made their armoured car into a steel coffin for him and his crew. Without delay Baker shook his gunner Peterson back to his senses, “Get that gun firing before they have time to reload!” Peterson’s shot rang true and the PaK40 was silenced forever.

Baker made a mental note not to be the victim of another well-planned ambush; instead he would be the one doing the ambushing. He spent the night with his crew devising new plan of action. Armed with his new tactics, Baker planned to chase the Germans all the way back to Berlin.
