Mission 2 triangulation: plot the target, not the spotters

Place Spotter 1 and Spotter 2 at the reported coordinates. With the yellow pencil, draw each bearing from the matching spotter. Their intersection is the target. Only then draw the red measurement from the Iron Nest marker to that intersection; that final line supplies the gun's bearing and range.

Concept trainer / illustrative coordinates

Two origins. Two bearings. One target fix.

Spotter 1 line Spotter 2 line Nest-to-target firing line

The yellow lines answer where is the target? The red line answers where should the turret point?

  1. 01

    Anchor Spotter 1's bearing at Spotter 1 and Spotter 2's bearing at Spotter 2.

  2. 02

    Extend both bearing lines far enough to cross.

  3. 03

    Drop a target marker where the two forward lines meet. Keep both candidates if a line and range circle produce two points.

  4. 04

    Draw the firing measurement from the Iron Nest marker to the target fix and move that bearing and range to the ballistic calculator.

  • Both observation lines begin at their named spotters.
  • The target marker sits at the forward intersection.
  • The firing measurement begins at the Iron Nest and ends at the target.
The turret points away from the targetRedraw Nest → target; do not use target → Nest or a spotter bearing.
The lines never meetCheck origins, directions, and matching spotter numbers.
Two points remain possibleUse a third clue, recon, or mission context instead of inventing certainty.

The central sequence is consistent across two independent Steam Community sources. The interactive board uses illustrative coordinates, not captured mission coordinates.
