Ez closed in on the Goblin. Like Sierra, she had moved into its short range however. That would come back to bite her. For now, she shoots it with her weapons, landing multiple hits but missing its fragile right side. Fortunately, one medium laser does manage to immobilise it (17 damage LS, 13 damage RR, moderate damage +2 to driving skills rolls, -1MP, 2 damage turret, vehicle immobilised).
Tango, still shocked at the rapid change of situation, misses a few easy shots at the Hetzer. She does strip some armour from it at least (13 damage LS).
Foxtrot hits the Vargr with her large laser, melting away some turret armour (8 damage TU).
The militia gave as good as they got however. The SRM platoon hit the Hunchback repeatedly (4 damage LT, 2 damage RL, 3 damage RA) and the Hetzer lands its AC/10 hit too (10 damage LL). The Vargr also chooses to fire at the closer medium mech (2 damage LA, 5 damage LL). Tango barely manages to keep the mech upright as it wobbles under the fusillade.
Ez's Orion turns into a vibrating box as it is rattled with SRMs. Her luck is used up as she evades two hits to the cockpit by the skin of her teeth (8 damage LL, 6 damage RA, 4 damage RT, LA, 2 damage LT, both edge used, 0 edge left). She keeps the mech on its feet as the Goblin crew exit the immobile tank.
Tango gives the Hetzer a kick, opening up its left side (10 damage LS). All three remaining mechs were growing warmer.
(Orion on 2 heat, Hunchback on 3 heat, Griffin on 1)
The Hetzer crew bail, leaving only the APC and the Bulldog to defend the four trucks.
"This is HQ. Make do with what you have Easy. Primary objective remains unchanged, repeat, objective is to prevent the trucks from escaping."
