Can't cross river valley in "The Metaborator"

Hi brethren,
I'm stuck in the campaign, as my assault class Titan is stuck in the river in the first mission (climb max 39m while river (~-2m+38m walls) is too deep. I already dispatched my opponents. Do I have to manually retrieve my team? Any hints as I checked most of the river to find a flat entrance, but haven't found one so far.
Cheers
Sam
P.S.: @Reliable Royce: your little 300km city crossing "adventure" was really cute
~350tons are advised.... I'd to chunk down more than 1500tons, hidden, while the AI let the 4 npc's run into their fate. The first time I was really under pressure (while working my last 500m with groins kicks only, as everything was depleted). Keep on; great campaigns!

Try jumping out of the water (yes, that requires a skill check, but there are no better options now)-- +40 m means two upward jumps, one forward jump, and one downward jump.
(Your assault titans DO have jump ports installed, don't they? [:D])

If I had jumpjets I'd not have asked. So no, none of my Titans have Jumpjets installed, so no hope right? It's going to be my first retrieve; hard to accept. Will the campaign be stopped after such a retrieve?
Cheers (from a sad)

Hi
OK fixed it. After tearing my (in the water walking) titan nearly to pieces (by going let's say 40 hex with 90% skill checks) I found a flat mountain with only 36m high in the fourth lower row and with only 3m deep water both of my assault titans could climb 'em. I was very unsatisfied with the retrieving option, so I searched further. I also thought about letting those two "escape" outer map and only my recon have the mission fulfilled; might have worked as well.
Luckily the map creator had mercy with my team
Cheers (from a calmed down and happy smiling)

Not sure but an eject might have worked too as long as there is a titan in the end zone.

There are actually two 36m high hexes facing the river. You could have checked that with the key '-', pressing it twice (check F1), which would show you hex heights. [;)]

Hi Iceman,
I'll check this the next time I got into such a situation. Haven't thought about that "mathematical" solution as I was sourrounded by ~4m too high walls all around me. Anyway thanks for the hint. I succesfully succedded the Metaborator after playing two times "babysitter" (which I really hate I have to admit).
Cheers
Sam
