Enhanced image of the cliff defences.

Venus Cliffs Coastal Defence Guns   Above image was taken by recon flight by Imperial fighter craft. Left you can see an aerial view of the cliff. The entire cliff top has already received heavy shelling and is littered with cratters Bunker position and trench network is highlighted, though exact position of the coastal defence guns can not as yet be identified.

Mounted on these cliffs are coastal defence guns looted from other areas of the Planet. They command a view of the coast line and can deliver fire on both Omega and Jupiter Beaches. Though they have come under heavy fire from Imperial Thunder Hawk and attack craft, they have not been destroyed. For this reason a ground based assault has bee ordered. Attackers Brief - you are to assault the gun emplacements and silence them as quickly as possible. You must land on the beach, scale the cliff face, remove the defenders and silence these guns. Defenders Brief - these guns are a vital element of the coastal defence network and must be protected against all attackers. Each turn they remain active is another barraige they can fire on the invaders on the beaches

At the foot of the cliff there is some cover, from the over hanging rock face After heavy shelling from Orbital guns the bunkers still appear untouched, though cover surrounding it has been greatly reduced. These images were captured by Marine scouts on a recon mission to the cliff face.

Dead Ground  due to the height of the cliff there is a an area of dead ground when firing down on to the beach. The distance of deadground is equal to the distance you are from the edge
i.e. if you are 4 inches from the edge of the cliff then there is a 4 inches area of dead ground from the base of the cliff.
