HomeLAN - What other unique gameplay elements will be in the new title?

Andrew Brown - The most important new gameplay element is the ability to command a second lance of four MechWarriors in addition to your normal lancemates. That means you can actually field up to eight 'Mechs total in many of our missions. We've designed the missions in the game to take advantage of this new ability - sometimes enemies attack on two fronts at once, and it's great to be able to send one lance to deal with some troublemakers on your flank while taking your second lance and beating up on the main attack force.
