hello,
I don't understand what to do in this mission (Obedience to Orders).
When the Titan enters nearby the victory hex, objectives changes, i must evacuated but no indication is given on the card and after trying a lot of leakage combination I always end up losing.
After the tenth try I would appreciate some help. :oops:
Incidentally updating the current mission objectives is VERY poorly managed and is often lost.

try to stay away ffrom the victory hex with your main units and only take the reaver titan to towards it. when the titan gets next to it, it triggers an ambush. dont worry the titan sells its life so that you can get away

this doesnt mean you cannot engage any units but it could propbably make it to the hex with out your help. the object off the mission is to sell its life to save yours.

had a lot of troops massacred the first time i tried it

there will be other missions when you think its time to advance but it depends on the mission objective and updates. listen to them i advanced to hold 2 river crossings when i was told to fall back and eventually got over run near the end of the scenario by some bad ass green skin tanks

Sorry to hear you are struggling with this mission, it is indeed a very unusual one.

LORE SPOILERS BELOW!

This initial mission objective never changes:

As you get closer to the victory hex, this message will appear. It is meant only for your CORE forces, not for your special titan unit. I'll see if we can't reword this in a future patch to help lessen this confusion. :)

Some Orks may try to stop your advance, but its nothing the titan cannot stop. In fact, if your Titan is killed during the scenario, it a fulfillment of the victory conditions, as this is what the lore dictates must happen!

This somewhat dire looking shot is actually the desired result for this mission, as explained in the following lore segment. As sdeix75 explained, the Titan valiantly sacrifices itself in order to preserve your force so you can continue to fight another day.

Perhaps such a screen instead the evacuate message?
I hope that I understood the background story behind this scenario.

You should go ahead with your titan to the victory hex.
And evacuate your core units only.
