Description

### What kind of data?

Something else

### Which entry?

Decoy Interception

### What's wrong

Currently Decoy Interception is impossible to complete without the use of very fast light mechs, hover craft, VTOLs or aircraft. This is because of your units starting in the north, and the enemy starting int he center retreating south. Requested by Illiani

### What it should be

Decoy Interception should either A. Start the player in the south with the enemy starting int he North (Which I think is the older version of the mission did) or B. Start the player south instead of north with the enemy still in the center.

### Source

Player testing

Research direction

Locate the data entry for the Decoy Interception mission and inspect its player and enemy starting positions and retreat direction. Reproduce the mission to confirm the mobility constraint, then update the scenario so the player starts south as requested and verify that standard ground units can complete it.
