August 08, 3029 - END OF WAVE #5 – 9 more systems captured Sarna among them.
Beginning of Wave #6!!! BEGINNING OF THE SAKHALIN CAMPAIGN!! We are assigned Sakhalin for Wave #6. We raided it earlier if you’ll recall. Most of the remaining worlds are being happy to just join the FS over the next door FWL that are constantly raiding them. Many in this world won’t have to fight for themselves but not the wealthy mining planet of Sakhalin. This will be a major battle!!! Aug 08, 3029 – We arrive at the Zenith JumpPoint, not much here, a pair of Invaders with a pair of Achilles and Leopard CVs, and an Overlord with an extra drop ring with the logo of the Kamakura's Hussars we fought before, they have 22 fighters and 4 Aquarii. We handle them, they flee with the Overlord to the planet and we destroyed one each Achilles and Leopard CV, can we salvage them? I toss a 7 and 4 so nope. Battle Loss At the JumpPoint – We took 5 mill in damage lost 8 fighters 4 we can salvage for 2.2 mil and the other 4 with a value of 17,145,682. We killed 11 of theirs and can salvage 5 for 3.65 milll. We salvage at the JumpPoint 5.6 mill Aug 12 – We arrive and another 2 Achilles, three Leopard CVs and then 6 Acquarii and 30 fighters total. We destroyed their 2 Achilles, 1 Leopard the others flee and jump out. We took 4 Aquarius and 16 fighters. Can we salvage any? I toss an 8, 2 and 9 so we got that Leopard CV for 10 mill I spend now. Battle Loss at the Planet – We took 9.5 mill in damage and lost an Aquarius permanently. 14,221,500. We lost 10 fighters, and 5 are salvageable for 4.3 mill. We lost 5 for a total cost of 21,367,121. We can salvage 8 of theirs for 6.6 mill. We find here 9 mill of stuff salvaged We have won the battles and have grabbed air space. We land and are attacked by the Battalion of Kamakura's Hussars at the Port we are landing at... If you’ll recall they are pretty headstrong and crazy. Kamakura's Hussars!!! Here they are again!!

We win set up 7-6. Barely. We set up an Atlas centered flank with heavy Assaults like BM, Banshee and Chargers each on the flank. They set up around me in a giant circle.
Turn 1 – We lose init 7-9. We charge 5, they flank with that Spider and a Locust. A Vulcan 5T bases their Locust. We split 18 mechs each at their Victor and charger to take out both veteran assault AC20s. On the first salvo, our BM from Unsprezece’s company got a through armor crit on the Victor’s ammo, boom, dead mech!!! Well, I just wasted 17 shots! We destroyed it’s RA and LL, LT too. Our Ju Ni’s Catapult destroys their Charger’s RL and the Archer it’s RT, RA on the ground. It falls and hits the hip on their LL. Nasty. No falls. Melee! Our Victor misses. Turn 2 -We grab init this time 7-4. We’ve rolled 7 every time! We charge 5, and our Atlas bases their Hunchback and a Banshee and Charger too but we walked four, not five, they did that smartly. They base our Stalker’s flank with a Wasp. Our TBolt and CRD 3D from Ju Ni base their Javelin. Our Vulcan jumps out at their Locust. Their Spider bases the flank of my TBolt and then our Grasshopper bases it. Weapons! I split 18 each at their Banshee and Longbow. Our Atlas’s AC20 hits the head in their Banshee, dead mech and warrior and that’ll annoy them. We also destroy its LA and LT. Unsprezece’s Archer opens their Longbow’s CT and hits the gyro once. Then that company’s Javelin 10F finish off it’s wounded LT, LA on the ground. Ju Ni’s Trebuchet hits it’s gyro and engine two and three more times, both shut down. Dead mech!!! They savage our Atlas and destroys it’s RA, but no falls. We kick and our Charger legs the Hunchback’s LL, it’s down. Our Tbolt legs their Javelin ‘s RL, it’s down. Our Hopper kicks the Spider but it was a glancing blow, ,and hit two legs and it falls but survived. We miss the Locust leg again. They need to turn this around now. Turn 3 - We lose init 8-7 7 EVERY time baby!!! We charge 5 where possible, but rare. I eject our Atlas. No cheap kills. I base their Goliath and Stalker with three assaults each. They base my Archer’s flank with a Wasp and our Crusader with a Locust. Their Spider rises and then runs away. I base it with my Vulcan 5T and my Spider too. Then I base their Locust with our Wolverine after it flanks me. Our Archer and 2 Tbolts base an Urbie. Do I try to bring down their Goliath and Stalker or three heavies? I go after their Archer, Orion and TBolt. Deitch’s Striker hits the ammo on their Archer, dead mech, sad. Unsprezece’s Awesome destroys their Orion’s RA. It’s Catapult hits the H and then goes internal and smashes the cockpit and sensors once too, dead pilot. We also hit a hip in the RL too. Ju ni’s Stalker destroys their TBolt’s LA. Then the LT is destroyed by our Grasshopper there, and it survives. Melee! Their Goliath and Stalker fall but survive.

We lose set up 9-7. I set up at the top of the southern edge. They set up in woods.
Turn 1 – We thump them init 12-8. Should my Wolverine base their Urban mech they moved first? Then their MAD could base it.

Spider next to their Urbie too, who should I shoot at? The MAD3L. We cannot see it behind the woods, the VND. We destroy it’s RT with our Spider, RA on the ground and then the hip is hit on it’s RL by our Wolverine, it falls. Melee! Our Spider destroys their Urbie’s RL!

EVENT, October, 27, 3029 – Flavia and Stephen Marsh give birth to their fifth child and boy. She’ll be missing the next battle. They name him Allen Marsh.
Here are the kids again: 1st Born – Sir Sean Marsh, Age 8 2nd Born – Sir Roger Marsh, Age 4 3rd Born – Sir Michael Marsh, Age 2 4th Born – Sir Julian Marsh, Age 2 5th Born – Sir Allen March, Age 0 EVENT, November 12, 3029 – The St. Ives Compact has formed. This is a smaller state from the CC that was run by the more sane daughter of the CC Candance Liao and her husband Justian Xiang a Davion spy form the breakaway state from the St. Ives Commonality that she ruled. In order to survive it allies with the Fed Suns just like the Free Rasalhague Republic. EVENT, November 16, 3029 – For the day the Suns reserves as Thanksgiving, Hanse Davion and his new wife Melissa Steiner announce she is pregnant! The new realm their kid will inherit is known as the “Federated Commonwealth” Nov 22, 3029 – The 6th Wave of Operation Rat of the 4th Succession War finishes! They captured another 6 worlds including ours at Sakhalin which was one of the biggest battles in the wave. Nov 23, 3029 – The 7th Wave in Operation Rat of the 4th Succession War Begins! All of the remaining planets targeted in the final wave as things are winding down are ones with secret agreements with the Fed Suns to join them rather than the dissolution of the CC or join the FWL by force. They won’t need much to take and then less to garrison. Targeted in this final wave are the planets of the Sarna Commonality left. They are heading out there fast to grab as many worlds as possible. • Secure Sarna and Tsinghai, where fighting continued • Complete negotiations with Sarna Commonality worlds We are sent to go take out Tsinghai where the only planet left with a mech force. We also raided this world too so we know it. Tsinghai was often raided by the Marik folks, and that hurt its economic value. It’s got good mining though. However, it’s military value for raids and on the border cannot be denied, so here on the border is a battalion of 5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry and the 1st Battalion of Preston's Lancers. Nasty strong stuff. We raided the 5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry. Who are veteran. Arriving with us are the merc unit the 12th Vegan Rangers with Gamma and Delta Regiments of two mechs. In the press for maximizing their gains, and knowing from our raids here they are there, this is the last Sarna Commonality world with a Mech defense other than Sarna proper. Therefore we are leading this since we have actual on-the-ground knowledge of their defenses and world. The 12th is taking their orders from us. We are going in hard since we weren’t able to get big plans and with the ComStar Interdiction still in place. Dec 4, 3029 – We arrive at the Zenith JumpPoint of Tsinghai with a Recharging Station. Here is a huge flotilla, like before only twice as large: 4 Achilles 4 Leopard CVs A Random Avenger 12 Aquarius 32 Fighters We have way more but you can see that as more and more systems are taken, the better this’s defense has become. They are taking this world and it’s military value and the vfact it still has good unis to protect seriously We take them out, with our like billion Achilles, Aquarius and Leopards. We took out 3 Achilles, the other fled to the planet, the random Avenger and then two Leopard CVs the rest fled out with the Achilles. Any of them salvageable? We salvage an Achilles with a 10, then the others are 6 and 8. Then we salvage the Avenger with a – 9 and then one Leopard CV with an 11 and then the other a 7. We can salvage the Achilles for 12 mill, the Avenger for 9 mill and the CV for 10 mill – I rolled badly for those. (2d6 mill in damage). Total spent is 31 mill, I pay it now. War Chest is 335,895,109. Battle Loss at the Zenith JumpPoint – We took 5 mill in damage. We lost 20 Fighters, 10 can be salvaged for 6.6 mill. The other 10 for around 42 mill. I lost two Aquarius, one salvageable for 1.25 mill the other lost for 14,221,500, they lost 24 fighters and 12 were salvageable for 5.4 mill. We salvage three of their Aquarius for 2.25 mill We salvaged here from the destroyed stuff inc. ours 14 mill. We have secured the JumpPoint. Dec 8, 3029 – We arrive at the planet!!! They are meeting us in force whereas previously they let us in on our previous trip to Tsinghai. They meet us in flame and fire as we arrive at their homebase. Here they are: 5 Achilles 5 Leopard CV 60 fighters 2 Overlords 1 normal Leopard 3 Intruder 16 Aquarius That’s a real fleet! We have 9 Achilles after salvaging theirs, a quintet of Avengers, an epic number of Leopards, a Fortress, a ton of Aquarii, 18 from just our Jumps, and then each Achilles has 2 and then around 100 fighters after salvaging theirs. 2 Intruders, 3 Overlords, We destroy them heavily! We destroyed three Achilles, 2 Leopard CVs, 40 fighters, an Intruder, normal Leopard and 10 Aquarius. They fled with the troops ones to their planet and fighter carriers and then other stuff to the Zenith JumpPoint to jump out. I toss a 4, 12 and 5 for Achilles, we grabbed one, and then 2 and then 5 for Leopards none of them, and then for the Intruder a 9, grabbed it, and then 8 for the normal Leopard! I spend 17 mill total to repair them for a war chest dropped to 318,895,109. Battle Loss at Tsinghai – We took 14 mill in damage. We lost 36 fighters, 18 can be salvaged for 10.25 mill and the rest lost for around 57.5 mill. Then we lost an Achilles. Can we fix? Nope we toss a 6, yes. That’ll be a battle loss of 530,719,200. Then we lost 8 Aquarius, four can be salvaged for 3.65 mill and the others lost for 56,886,000. They lost 40 fighters and we can salvage 20 for 16.1 mill and then they lost 8 Aquarius and we salvage 4 for 4.2 mill . We find here at the battle site around 18 mill in salvage, We have secured the planet and gained Air Superiority for the campaign!!! |
Beginning of the Tsinghai Campaign:
Dec 8, 3029 - We are going to send out two attacks with a different target each supported by a regiment of mechs from the 12th Vegan for backup. First to face us are the veteran 5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry. We unload and follow them with our elite high profile units. We know of valley near here we send a mixed battalion of mechs and vees to on each side and then chase them into it with our fighters and an elite company and vees, then in front to keep them from fleeing are two companies of units too. They are fleeing us massively and take the bait!!! We have behind them chasing them here Deich and then Vee Company #6. Then to their left flank up the hill is Ju Ni Company and Vee #7. Then on their right flank firing down is Unsprezece Mechs and Vee Company #5! In front are Khamésh Company and Vee #4. That’s 96 units on 36. So, here they are!!! 5th Confederation Reserve Cavalry!!! Some changes happened after we savaged them. Assault: Awesome - elite BattleMaster – BLR-1G – elite – nasty if I get that mech I earned it! This is their CO. Charger 1A5 - elite Stalker – elite – this is their XO Victor 9B – elite Zeus ZEU6A elite Would love that Awesome, B Master and Charger. Heavy: Archer 2R Cataphract Catapult Marauder MAD3L Orion1K Thunderbolt 5S Warhammer 6L Yay for that Catapult, TDR, Orion and Archer. Medium: Assassin 21 Centurion Griffin Hunchback Scorpion Shadow Hawk Trebuchet 3 Vindicator Whitworth Wolverine 6R Love that TBT, HBack and Wolverine. Light: Javelin 2 Locust 1V Raven 1X 2 Stinger 2 UrbanMech 3 Wasp 1L Remember they are all veteran. Now in order to keep myself from going crazy and simming this for hours and days of real time, I am going to do this one round at a time with my dice and tell you what happens in a similar manner. You should see the results here soon. |
Set up – We lose set up 11-3. Each off by one from tops or bottom. We flank them on each direction with a mech and vee and then them in the middle with my stuff in front of heavy armor and smashing.
Turn 1 – They keep init 8-6. We charge 5 on all sides. They flank Khamésh’s position with their Jav and SHD. I base the SHD’s flank with our Stalker 3H. That’s the 20 LRM one no LL. They base our flank back with their VND. I move my Atlas only 4 to base their MAD3L. We fire 24 units each at the BM and Awesome and Charger, and then Orion. Hopefully that’s be enough to take them out without blowing them off the map. On their first attack salvo from their Whitworth they hit our LRM ammo in the missile boat in Unsprezece’s Catapult in a through armor crit, dead mech. Cannot salvage. They get first blood. Hopefully we can salvage theirs. Our Awesome’s PPC smashes into their Charger’s RA and destroys it. Our Ontos’s ML destroys it’s RL, it’s legged and then RT when damage transfers. Their BM destroys our Brutus’s front side. Their Jav halves the movement of our Schrek but it’s got plenty of armor left. Deitch’s BattleMaster hits the cockpit on their Awesome’s H with an SRM, dead Mech and MechWarrior. We also destroy it’s LT, LA on the ground. Ju Ni’s Trebuchet pilot hit the ammo in the Orion, it explodes, dead mech! Sad. We also destroyed it’s RA and LT. Unsprezece’s Grasshopper hit the gyro once and engine twice in their BM. That company’s Vulcan’s 5T hit them each once each more, dead mech X2. Our Vee’s destroys it’s RA and LA too. One Banshee and Charger 1A5 of ours fall. Melee! Our Atlas misses. Our Stalker didn’t and hit, went internal, and then hit the SHD’s hip and dropped it to the ground. Turn 2 – We wrest init away 9-5. They move everyone towards Khamésh’s spot. Are they trying to break out that way? Banshee and Charger stand, and we base their MAD 3L with four Assaults. Their TBT based by our two Hoppers and a Wolverine. Their Wolverine Behind our Javelin 10F. Their VND base the flank of my Trebuchet on an Hunter. Our Atlas bases their Locust. I eject my Shreck. Their Shadow Hawk tries to rise and succeed on the 2nd try. Our Stalker stays with it and keeps based plus a Thunderbolt and Crusader join it. Their Thunderbolt to our Stalker’s rear. We base their Hunchback with three missile boat heavies and an Awesome. I aim 18 units at their Victor, Thunderbolt, 24 at their Stalker, 18 at their Archer and Catapult. Let’s just sandblast their better units this turn off the map. Khamésh’s Banshee hit the ammo in the RA of their Stalker after our Atlas hit it with it’s AC20 there. It explodes, dead mech on the 4th shot at it. Their Javelin immobilizes our Demolisher. Ju Ni’s Stalker destroys their Archer’s LL Our Vee Company it’s RL, double legged! And the RA too. Their Hunchback’s AC20 hits and destroys the RT of our Charger 1A5. Deitch’s Archer destroys the Thunderbolt’s RL and RA. Legged! Our Devastator’s AC20 destroy the LA too. Unsprezece’s Awesome destroys the CT of their Catapult, dead mech. No salvage. Most of it survived just the RA was destroyed. Their Victor was barely hurt. It survived! Falls – our Banshee and savaged Charger. None of theirs. Melee! Our Atlas destroys their Locust’s LL. Their Wolverine destroys our Javelin’s RL. Our Crusader destroys the RL of their Shadow Hawk. Their Victor kicks and drops our Archer to the board Thir VND destroys the left side of our Hunter Our Grasshopper legs their TBT! Our Banshee legs their MAD3L! Our Awesome legs their Hunch’s RL. With just a Victor and Zeus left for assaults, both their XO and CO’s mechs out, and then just a Cataphract and Warhammer left in heavies, and then us taking out, total, 13 or legged their mechs in just a couple of rounds, they eject legged stuff and then flee to their Overlord. They do manage to keep their stuff together despite this sandblasting.

The Preston's Lancers’s battalion which we haven’t faced! |
Dec 08, 3029 - We surround the base of the Lancers with a company of mechs each on three sides. They break out and meet us one company at a time.
Preston's Lancers’s Alpha Company: Atlas, CO, elite Banshee 3E – XO, elite Archer Cataphract Grasshopper Blackjack Centurion Trebuchet Vindicator Javelin 10F!!! UrbanMech Wasp 1L They are all veteran unless otherwise stated. Love that Jav, Hopper, Atlas, Archer, TBT and Banshee. If I take out an elite Atlas I will have EARNED it! It’s against our Oitavo Company: AS7D Atlas BattleMaster 1G Thunderbolt 5S Guillotine 4L Awesome 8Q ARC2S Archer Crusader 3D Trebuchet 5N Vulcan 5T Spider Javelin 10F Griffin1S Nice little Vulcan there, great smash and fire support stuff, but we are missing a Hopper from my ideal slate. Otherwise strong stuff. This is each of our Atlases, that own the battlefield at 100 tons with 3/5 movement and hten also max armor, the largest weapon in the era in an AC20, an LRM 20 for range, SRM 6 and 4 ML, 2 face rear for close in fighting and a massive 20 heat sinks! It’s nasty personified:  |
Set up – we win it by one 9-8. They are in the center, us in the bottom. I set up at the top with my Atlas flank centered. They deploy their Banshee and Atlas in roads.
Turn 1 – We win 11-8 too. We charge 5. Our TDR bases their Urbie. They back up their Archer, sad. Their Atlas doesn’t move from it’s heavy woods. Our Atlas bases their Urbie too. Their Cataphract bases my TDR’s flank in front of our BM so I cannot run it’s 5. It bases the Cataphract as does our Awesome. Our Archer bases their Cataphract too. Our Jav to it’s rear. Their Banshee backs up too. I fire everything at their Atlas obviously. Our Atlas’s AC20 fires first at their Atlas and hits the head dead mech! One hit kill!!! It’s internal in all three torsos. Melee!!! Our Atlas legs their UrbanMech’s RL and RT it falls. We go internal on their Cataphract’s legs both, it falls and destroys the Rl. Legged! Turn 2 – We keep init 12-8. They have always tossed an 8. They don’t eject the Cataphract. I charge 5 where possible. Our GLT leaps into the heavy woods their Atlas was in. They eject the Urbie with no weapons. Their Archer moves and bases the GLT We base their Archer with our Atlas, TDr and their Banshee bases our TBT. Our Archer bases their Grasshopper. Our Awesome bases their Banshee. Our Griffin to the rear of their Archer. Our Vulcan bases their Banshee’s flank. Our Jav next to their Wasp 1L. Our Spider by their Archer. I want to fire at their Hopper if I can see it and then try to leg their Archer. They will likely be fleeing this turn and I don’t want to waste firing at their Banshee. My Atlas fires at their Archer it’s the only big one it can see. I go overheat. Their Hopper ate 8 damage to it's head and blacked out and fell! No falls otherwise. Melee! Their Banshee goes internal in our TBT and gets a limb blown off on the ground, it falls. Our Griffin destroys the LL on their Archer, legged! With a destroyed Atlas, and legged Urbie, Archer and Cataphract and a blacked out pilot they flee!!! We have won this flank! Salvage: Atlas missing H; current value is 8,826,000 - to fix 800k UrbanMech missing RL and RT, current value is 1,111,925 – to fix 460k Cataphract missing RL; see below Grasshopper – blacked out, mech is fine Archer - missing LL; see below I don’t have any Atlas parts I spend that 800k for a new head, added!!!

Great adds with the Atlas, Archer and Hopper! |

They are facing our Nove Company which is here: Atlas AS7D Banshee 3S Orion 1K Hunchback Awesome 8T Archer 2S TBT 5N Trebuchet Warhammer 6D Grasshopper Javelin 10F Jenner JR7F Phoenix Hawk 1D Nice punch lance the Hunchback is fine, and then TBT is okay too. Then the scout is led by a great Grasshopper. Love it much!!! This is their classic 20 ton light mech with 6/9/6 movement, 2 ML , 10 heat sinks and then a solid 4 tons of armor, max.  |
Set up – We win 10-8. I set up at the top of our southern flank. Their Awesome and Charger in woods. The Charger in heavy.
Turn 1 – We also win init 10-4, also 10 for us. I charge 5. Our Atlas bases their Awesome that charges. Their Orion bases my Atlas’s flank, my Orion their Awesome too. Their Catapult jump too our Oiron’s flank, in front of my Banshee, I base it with it and our Awesome and Hunchback too. Their Charger remains in the heavy woods. Our Hopper bases their Orion. Our PXH next to their Orion’s flank. Do I fire at the Charger and try to leg the Awesome or at their Awesome? Their Charger that’s +1 to be hit. Our Atlas hit’s their Charger in the head with a glancing blow AC 20 for 10 damage and then hit the cockpit dead mech we also destroy it’s RL too. Melee! Can we leg that Catapult? Our Banshee destroys it’s LL, legged! Their Awesome stands. We set the hex their Charger is in on fire by the by. Turn 2 – We keep init 6-4. They turn the Catapult. I run into the on fire heavy with our Jenner to keep them from hitting there safely. Our Jav and Orion base their Spider. Our PXH bases their Wolverine and Stinger. Their Awesome stands still. Our Warhammer bases their Wolverine. Our Hopper bases their Awesome. Our Banshee bases their Awesome. Our Atlas stays based to it. I don’t move it to suck up damage, their Orion bases my Atlas’s flank. Our Archer the Awesome’s flank and our Hunch the other flank. I will fire at and try to take out the Orion and then leg their Awesome with the kicks. I go overheat on the Orion. Our Atlas hits it’s RT ammo boom dead mech! Insert sad face here. Melee!!! Can I leg the Awesome and Spider? Our Atlas legs the wounded Awesome’s RL it falls. Our Orion legs their Spider’s LL! We came…THIS CLOSE…to legging their Wolverine too. One HP left internal on the RL and then internal on the LL too. We legged three mechs, destroys their Charger and Orion and then they flee and leave us to it!!! Salvage: Charger 1A5 – hit cockpit, destroyed LL; see below Catapult – missing RL; see below Awesome – missing RL; see below Spider - missing LL; current value - 2,634,540 – to fix 350k Orion - RA, H, LL, LA We fix the Charger cockpit in a few hours.

Phoenix Hawk Vindicator Locust Stinger Wasp 1L Remember all vets. Love that BM, TBolt, CRD and Hback. Here are Sieben: Charger 1A5 Banshee 3S Hunchback BattleMaster 1D Awesome 8Q Trebuchet 5N Catapult C1 Warhammer 6D Grasshopper Wolfhound Jenner JR7F Phoenix Hawk 1 The three strong assaults in smash are fine and another Hunchback and TBT are okay. They in the middle, and us on the south. This is their lightly armored 90 ton assault mech Cyclops that’s got just 10 tons of armor, an AC20. Two ML, one LRm10 and SRM4 , and then 12 heat sinks and 4/6 movement. It’s not great.  |
Set-up – We lose 10-11. Ouchie!!! I set up the top of my flank. Their BM is near.
Turn 1 – We win 9-7. I charge 5 where possible. Their Cyclops charges, I base it with my Awesome. Our BM too. Their BM bases mine’s flank. Our Hopper bases it’s flank. Our Catapult it’s front. I fire at their BM with everything. Our Hopper destroys their BM’s RT, RA on the ground. All of it’s external head armor goes and it blacks out with 4 hits. Melee! Can we hurt their Cyclops? We hit each leg on it and go internal, it’s on the ground as is their Stinger after getting it’s leg destroyed by our Jenner. Turn 2 – They grab init 9-7. They don’t eject the Stinger. They rise their Cyclops. I back up our savaged BM. Our Awesome stays near their Cyclops. Our Banshee bases it too. Our Warhammer bases their PXH. Our Hopper next to their Crusader. Our Catapult too. Our Jenner by it’s flank. Our Charger by their Hunch’s flank. Their TDR runs behind the woods. It’s +3 to be hit, I fire at it with everything that can see it. I go overheat.

Let’s get this thing started!!! |
Beginning of Contract #51:
Feb 18, 3030 – We arrive in the new CC Border system of Ingersoll. We are at the Zenith JumpPoint which has a recharging station and their defenses. This is now around a month after the war ended and this planet is a brand new border for the FS and they are rotating in stuff. Here at the Zenith is a pair of Invaders and then a rarer Vengeance, two Achilles 2 Intruders and a random Avenger. They see us arrive and then unfurl their stuff and head our way. Their stuff: One Vengeance - As a reminder a Vengeance has 40 fighters. 2 Achilles with 2 fighters and 2 Aquarius each 2 Intruders with 2 fighters each 1 Avenger Total – 48 fighters, and then 8 Aquarius from their Invaders Us: We’ve got six Leopard CV here with 36 fighters and then 8 Achilles with 16 of each. So that’s a ton of fighters they have, but fewer capital ships to focus on plus 2 fighters from our Union, and Intruders too. I want that Vengeance! We’ve also got 22 Aquarius I focus on the escort of the Avenger around their Vengeance while they keep it save. Their Achilles move to attack us with Intruders to their flanks. Then I smash hammer the Achilles an Intruder and then their Avenger after taking out half of their fighters and 5 Aquarius the Vengeance takes a couple oof salvos while loading up fighters, they stop and escort it back…we follow as the others flee to their JumpShips, can I take out the Vengeance? With it’s 48 tons of armor, it’s not as easy to crack as a Leopard CV. Here’s my rule…if I can toss a it’s down….tossed an 8 it’s fine and escapes. The JumpShip jumps away, and then we have secured the Zenith JumpPoint Can we salvage the Intruder or Achilles or Avenger? I toss a 10, 5 and 8 We added another Intruder! It costs me 10 mill. Spent! Battle Loss at JumpPoint – We took 8 mill in damages, lost 24 fighters, 12 gone permanently for a cost of 50 mill and then we can salvage 12 for 6.65 mill. Then they lost 24 fighters to, we can salvage 12 for 5.14 mill. We lost 3 Aquarius, 2 permanently for a combined loss of 28,443,000 and then can salvage the last one for 850k We find here in the battle around 7 mill. Feb 24, 3030 - We arrive at the planet of Ingersoll! There’s nothing major here stopping us, they fled off system not here to defend it! It’s a quiet little world with not much here to defend. We land at the DropPort around a half day from their base with Vee #7 and Deitch and our fighters scout them out, we find them and some conventional fighters are attacking back. We saw they were as expected...mostly. Here are the Ingersoll Defenders!!! Mechs: Longbow -7Q – veteran – CO – yay! Love it much!!! Stalker – veteran - XO Catapult – yay too! Quickdraw Warhammer 6L Assassin Centurion Vindicator Whitworth Javelin Locust Raven All regular. Love that Catapult and Longbow. Tanks: Demolisher - veteran Ontos – veteran, Schrek AC Carrier – veteran AC Carrier LRM Carrier Von Luckner K100 Goblin Vedette, Liao Hunter Pegasus Scimitar Striker Would love another Demolisher, Onto, and Von Luckner and Hunter. They have three infantry we were expecting, one of each type. Then they have 4 Warrior VTOLS too not expected. We are on a Desert Map and then they are in the middle and us in the south flank. This is our Rhino Support Vee my favorite ranged tank with 80 tons, a massive 272 armor much better than the Schrek, 2 LRM20, one LRM10, and then 2 ML and then 3/5 movement.  |
Setup - We win by one 10-9. They showed up. I set up an Atlas on top of Demolisher and Devastator and such.
Turn 1 – We lose init 9-8 also close by one. I charge 5 where possible. Their Pegasus and Locust flank us. I base their Pegasus with our Wolfhound. I base their Longbow with our Atlas and BM. Our Banshee bases their Demolisher under their Centurion. Their Vedette to our rear Banshee. Our Stalker bases their Catapult that leapt into woods. Our Striker bases it’s flank no kicks back they base it’s flank with their QD jumps. We base their Pegasus with our Spider and then as the last act they move their Raven on top to help protect it. For weapons, do I fire at their Longbow or vees and try to leg it with kicks. I spend a company each at their Demolisher and 6 at their LRM Carrier and 6 at that lightly armored AC Carrier since I doubt just 6 could end a Schrek or Ontos. Our Catapult destroys the front of their Demolisher Our Ontos destroys their LRM Carrier’s front Our Manticore destroys their AC2 Carrier’s side Their Von Luckner destroys the front of our Ontos with two AC20 shots hitting the front Melee! At Atlas and BM connect hit the same leg and it falls. Our Striker and Stalker hit the Catapult but different legs, it also falls. Our Banshee drops their Centurion to the ground Their Pegasus hit by our Wolfhound but missed by our Spider and reduces the speed ones Well we swapped one tank for three but an AC Carrier and LRM Carrier aren’t really big numbers in the game swings. Turn 2 – We grab init by one 8-7 Each time it’s dropped by one and won by one. Will they win next round 7-6? They rise the Longbow but don’t move it, I stay at it with our Atlas and BM and I also base it with our Banshee too and leap a Hopper to its flank, no kicks back. Their Centurion rises and runs away. We base their Catapult after it rises and runs later with our Striker and Stalker and then also base it with our Catapult in it’s flank and TDR front too. We base their Pegasus with our Spider and Wolfhound and their Saracen to our Wolfhound’s rear. Their Stalker bases my Archer. We split fire 8 at their Ontos and then 16 on their VL. Our Catapult also kills their Ontos’s turret, dead tank! That’s Leslie LePorte’s 4th kill Our Maxim destroys the Von Luckner’s front!!!! Our Brutus is destroyed by their Von Luckner Their Jav immobilizes our Schrek PPC Carrier. Melee! Our Atlas and Banshee both hit the Longbow in the same place it was damage before and destroys it, RL on the ground Our Stalker destroys their Catapults RL too. It falls. Our Wolfhound halves the movement on their Pegasus They lost that turn just a VL and Ontos and legged two mechs and then they destroyed our Brutus and immobilized our Schrek. They flee. We capture the battlefield!!! Salvage: Demoliser – missing front I toss a 8 and can salvage it! LRM Carrier – destroyed front, and we toss a 9 and can salvage it AC2 Carrier – destroyed side, I toss a 3 and cannot salvage Ontos – destroyed turret, and we toss a 6 and cannot salvage Von Luckner K100 – destroyed front, I toss a 8 and salvage! We salvaged three vees! Longbow 7Q - missing RL; Catapult - missing RL; See below Do we have the RLs for their Longbow and Catapult? I got a Catapult in it’s chassis, added! Longbow? Nope! Stalker, none just LLs left. BM? Got that in RL size, added!!! Us: Destroyed Ontos – battle loss - 2,265,413 Brutus – destroyed; battle loss - 3,694,250 Schrek PPC Carrier – immobile We fix the Schrek in two days. Got a Brutus and Ontos spares replaced. Battle Loss – Ontos - 2,265,413 ; Brutus is 3,694,250 total - 5,959,663 Didn’t spend that though since I had spares. |

We have no one here attacking us since we are at the FWL we shouldn’t. Jan 19, 3030 – We land at the city by their base we need to extract for the Tikonov Free Republic.

The Wolverine is fine too. This is their classic scout mech the medium 45 tonner PXH Pixie 1 that’s got 6/9/6 movement, just 10 heat sinks, LL, 2 ML and MG and okay armor.  |
We are thumped for losing the setup 10-3 Ouchie. We set up an Atlas flank.
Turn 1 – We win init 10-7. All tossed 10s! Our Atlas bases their MAD3M. Their Catapult bases it’s flank, and in front of our Charger so neither it nor our BM can base it running so I walk and base it. Our TDR bases it and their Victor. Our Awesome bases their Archer that based my TDR. Our Archer bases theirs. Our Wolverine bases it’s flank. Our Jav too. Our Spider behind their Victor. I fire at their Stalker trying to bring it down. Our Charger’s AC20 destroys their Stalker’s H, dead mech!!! First kill by our new company! No falls. They savage our BM. Melee, can we leg their Archer or Catapult? Our Charger legs the Catapult’s RL it’s down! Their Archer has left 5 internal on a leg and it falls. No other falls. Our Jav hit it’s hip. Turn 2 – We keep init 8-5. Their Catapult doesn’t pull out. They do eject their Archer!!! Our BM bases their Wolverine. Our Catapult their FS. Their MAD stood still. Our Hopper by their Locust.

Beginning of Contract #53:
Jan 06, 3030 – We arrive at the Nadir JumpPoint of an unknown system next to the Magistracy of Canopus for pirate hunting and then here is a Leopard CV, Invader, Union and Avenger; our pirate hunting begins on the way here!!! We take out the Avenger and I toss an 8 and don’t bring it in. The Leopard too, and then we get a 7 and don’t bring it in, but they flee with the Union to the planet, we capture their Invader that wasn’t able to jump out yet. Battle Loss – We took 9 mill in damage and lost 4 fighters, 2 permanently for a cost of 11,602,530; we salvage 2 for 1.16 mill and then grabbed four of theirs for 1.95 mill. We salvaged from the JumpPoint – 7 mill Jan 11, 3030 – We chase the Union down and then follow it to a DropPort where it unloads and then we do so too. Remember we have for this Oitavo Company which is: AS7D Atlas BattleMaster 1G Thunderbolt 5S Guillotine 4L Awesome 8Q ARC2S Archer Crusader 3D Trebuchet 5N Vulcan 5T Spider Javelin 10F Griffin1S This studly group!!! Here are the Pirates: Cyclops Stalker Cataphract Rifleman Thunderbolt – yeah!!! Blackjack Cicada Shadow Hawk 2K Trebuchet Jenner JR7F - !!!!!! Panther Stinger 3G They are random ability from green to good. That’s my favorite Jenner variant the Fire one. Be happy to bring it and the TBolt in too. Love that TBT and Stalker too.

They are in the middle and us on the bottom flank. |
For set up I toss a 12 vs their 7. Nicely done, I set up an Atlas flank. They set up around us in a giant circle.
Turn 1 – We barely win init 7-6. Take it! Their Stalker charges us. Our BM bases it. Their TDR bases my BM’s flank, our Atlas and Awesome base the TDR. Our CRD bases it too. Our GLT bases their Trebuchet. Our Spider grabs heavy woods. Our Jav bases their Jenner but they moved their Shadow Hawk over to base it and my Spider too. Their Cyclops bases our Awesome’s flank. Should my TDR base it? Yup! Should I am for their Stalker or Cyclops? I don’t have a pair of AC20s like with last battle, so I go for the lighter armored Cyclops. It’s not what I want to bring in but it makes tactical sense to pull their AC20 off the battlefield. Some mechs cannot reach it like our BM too far away. Our Griffin hit AC20 ammo in their Cyclops, boom, dead mech!!! No falls. Kicks time!!! Our Crusader destroys their TBolt’s LL and it falls, also falling are our BM and their SHD. Our BM is internal in the RL. Turn 2- They edge us 8 to 7 we all rolled 7s. They turn the TBolt. Remember that Stalker is the one with 2 LRM20 variant. I rise and backup my BM. Their SHD rises. Our Griffin to their Shadow Hawk’s rear, our Vulcan it’s rear. Their Stalker moves and backs up. Our Atlas bases it. Our TDR bases their Jenner, our CRD bases their Stalker’s flank. Our Awesome and GLT base their Panther, and BJ and our GLT their Cataphract too. I fire at their Stalker if they have LOS. I go overheat on the Stalker. Our Spider destroys it’s LT, LA on the ground. Their pilot blacks out after taking four damage. Melee! No falls. Can I leg their SHD, Jenner and Panther? Good news and bad news! We legged two! Our Awesome legged their Panther’s RL and our Vulcan destroyed the RL of their SHD too! But ourTDR couldn’t land a 5. With an Assault destroyed another blacked out CO pilot and t he rest legged and us capturing their Invader they surrender. We turn their mechs and people to the Magistracy of Canopus but get their Union. Salvage: Cyclops -RA, LA, H, LL, LT, RL Thunderbolt – missing LL; see below Stalker 3H – missing LT – blacked out pilot. Current value - 6,648,825 – to fix a mill.

January 28 - We arrive at the planet they have and here are the10 fighters 2 from Leopard, and Intruder to our 8 but 6 Aquarius to their none. We win, but it takes a while and we destroyed their Intruder and Leopard CV and normal one the Gazelle flees to the planet. Can I salvage them? I toss a 4, 3 and 10! We capture the normal Leopard! It costs to fix it up 11 mil I spend now. Battle Loss at Planet – We took a longer 12 mill in damage. We lost 4 fighters and two permanently for 10,829,853 and then the other can be salvaged for 1.2 mill. We lost an Aquarius we can salvage for1.1 mill. We took out 8 all of their fighters and can salvage 4 for 2.25 mill. We salvaged at the planet 10 mill in sweet selling cash!!! We land and dominate the skies. We follow their Gazelle down.

Turn 1 – We thump them 10-5 and win init. I charge 5. Our BM moves four to base their Partisan. Our GLt leaps next to it. Our Spider next to their Schrek. They back up their Atlas last next to our GLT. Does my Vulcan base it? It’s 6 and then 9 to hit me. Yup! I fire at their Atlas. Our Archer blows off their Atlas’s LA on the ground. It blacked out and fell and took two damage. I will not kick it since I want to capture him and the mech is fine. Our GLT destroys their Partisan’s rear side, dead tank! Turn 2 – They thump us 11-7. They…move the Atlas by assigning it a move. Our TDR bases their Brutus. Our GLt by their Bulldog. Our Archer by their Harasser. Our Spider by their Brutus too. Our Crusader by their Harasser too. Our Atlas and BM by their Rommell and BM behind it. I fire everything at it. I got overheat at their Shreck and Brutus by those near them too. Our Atlas destroys their Brutus’s front! Our BM immobilizes the Rommel and destroys the Rear side too. Our Jav destroys the Shreck PPC Carriers side! Our Atlas blacks out, falls and breaks off it’s RA. Melee!

Feb 07, 3030 – We blast out of the system. We arrive in the next Pirate HQ according to Canopus Intel. We arrive at the Zenith where they are supposed to be and there here is Invader. But… Here is what is here: 1 Leopard CV with 6 fighters 1 Achilles with 2 fighters and 2 small craft 1 Union – with 12 mechs and then 2 fighters They have 10 fighters and 4 Aquarius, 2 each from the Invader and Achilles. 1 empty drop ring. This was supposed to be an Avenger, intel is wrong. Looks like a trap. Here’s what we STARTED…with: 1 Leopard CV 1 Union 1 Achilles 10 fighters and 4 Aquarii Exactly the same. But, we now have another Gazelle, Leopard CV and Union. We’ve lost in battles 4 fighters, but gained 8 from our foes but they probably didn’t know that. They aren’t working together with the other Pirate Groups. They unfurl at us and move to hit us, we are closer than I like but up 4 fighters and three Drops just help well. We win, and they lose their Leopard CV with 4 fighters and then the Achilles and their Union retreats. Do we get that Achilles or Leopard CV? I toss a 10 and 7, so yes to the Achilles! I spend to recover it 5 mill spent now. Their JS flees. Our Canopus liaison orders up a third JumpShip to take our Achilles home.

Feb 28 – We leave Mar 08 – We arrive at an uncharted system’s Nadir JumpPoint! Here is supposed to be Gazelle of 12 vees hanging out on the planet.

Our Archer legs the BattleMaster’s RL it falls as does their Rifleman after our Wolverine destroys it’s LA and our Banshee it’s RT, RA on the ground. It’s weaponless. Do I try and take it out? Melee! I do it ate 20 damage in the CT but it’s fine. Turn 2 – We thump them 12-6 init wise. They turn the BM. They move their Charger next to it to protect it. Our Atlas bases their QD. Their Rifleman stans and runs and turns it’s back. Our Banshee bases their QD too. Our Wolverine follows and stays next to their Rifleman and our Archer bases it’s rear.

Our Wolverine hits the ammo in their Orion – boo, dead mech insert sad face there. Melee! Can we take down the Rifleman or QD leg? Our TDR destroys their QD’s RL on the ground! Their Rifleman ate more damage and didn’t even fall. With just a Charger healthy left and they haven’t even dropped one of our dorks to the ground, they eject from the legged mechs and flee!!! Salvage: BM missing RL; see below Quickdraw missing RL; see below Orion – RA, LA, H, RL Trebuchet – RA, LA, H, LL Sad on that Orion. I add their parts! The two missing Rl? The BM? Nope!

Set up – We lose the worst possible 12-2. I set up on the northern flank of my southern side and then have big tanks under big mechs. They are in a circle around us,
Turn 1 – They keep init but it has to be closer – 9-4 – doesn’t feel it though. I charge 5 where possible. Their Manticore moves four in front of my Atlas I move it in but cannot get +2. Our Banshee and TDR also base it, and their Jav bases the flank of my Striker. Our Wolfhound bases it back! Their Maxim in their Jav’s spot. We send our Mechs at their Longbow and our tanks split 6 and 6 at their Schrek and SRM Carrier to take out their massive stuff. Our BM’s PPC shears off the head of their Longbow, dead mech! Our Archer hits the ammo in the LT and it ignites- dead twice. Insert sad face here. Our Schrek destroys their SRM Carrier’s front! Their Shrek is destroyed by our Manticore! Melee! Our TDR destroys their Manticore’s left side. Our Wolfhound kicks their Jav to the ground. Turn 2 – They keep init and it gets worse – 9-2 – Nasty. We move to them. They stand the Jav and run.

Beginning of Contract #56:
Mar 22, 3030 – We arrive at the FWL world of Danais to do the extract raid. No one challenges us. Mar 27, 3030 – We arrive at the world and land at the area outside of the company extract raid and then hit and smash them. We unload and then our fighters verify that they are the garrison of mercs we expected. Here they are: Striker 2S, veteran, CO Victor 9B, veteran, XO Dragon Marauder 3L Rifleman Assassin Centurion Enforcer Hatchetman Vulcan 5T!!!! – yay for a fun variant to bring in. Javelin 10F!!! Wasp 1W Valkyrie They have 13 mechs not 12 that’s a command one. Love that Jav and Vulcan. The leaders are vet, random everywhere else. They are in the middle and us in the south. We attack them hard!!! |
We win set up by one embarrassingly 5-4. We are on the Desert 1 map and then set up our smash lance up top. Their Victor in the back corner and Striker in the center near us three away.
Turn 1 – We win this more convincingly 10-6. Their Victor charges me. Do I base it with m y BM or try to leg the Striker and wait until it moves? Our Charger bases it and their CNT too. Their MAD bases my Banshee’s flank. Our Awesome bases it. I go ahead and base their Victor. Our Hermes bases their MAD’s flank our Catapult bases it too. Their Striker moves and bases my Awesome’s flank. Our TDR bases it’s flank and Grasshopper it’s rear and Wolverine it’s flank too. Their Vulcan and Jav fled behind woods. What do I fire at? Their Victor or try to leg it and their Striker instead or try to leg both by next round and then attack their Dragon/MAD/or Rifleman instead? I am based to their MAD with my Awesome and Cat and Hermes 2 so that’s less needed too. Hmmm. I wish their Dragon were in LOS. I fire at their Victor let’s take that AC20 off the field even if I blow it up. Our Bm hit the ammo in the Victor on the 2nd mech to fire at it and it explodes. Dead mech!!! Melee! All three we kick fall. Our Hermies II hit a leg actuator in their MAD and the hip hit in their Striker by our Wolverine. It blacks out in the fall but only took 1 damage and failed a 2. They keep pushing. Turn 2 – We keep init barely 6-5 again. Do I try and leg or head hit their CO or go for other units on the battlefield. Our Banshee moves 4 and bases their ENF. Their Jav10F bases it’s flank, I base it with my Awesome, their MAD rises. Do I base it with my Cat to try and leg it or leap over and base the Jav to have a 2nd shot on it? I leap over and base it. Basing their MAD is my Archer. Our BM Bases their Enforcer too. Our Grasshopper their MAD’s rear. Our Charger their Valkyrie. Our Hermes II their Vulcan. Their CNT rises and bases my Catapult’s rear my TDR and Wolverine base it. I fire at their Dragon that moved in. it’s +1 for movement but at long range around 7-6 or so for medium range stuff. I go overheat. I fire some at the Striker’s LL. Our Hopper destroys said leg, it’s legged! Our Awesome’s PPC smashes off the H of their Dragon, it’s down and dead. Sorry. Their Vulcan wasn’t touched at all from my nearby scouts to soften it up. No falls. Melee!! Our BM destroys the LL of their Enforcer. Their Valkyrie, Vulcan 5T and Jav survive big kicks, sad. Our TBT destroys their Centurion’s RL. Our Hopper destroys the LL on their Mad. Their Striker pilot wakes up and then ejects and they also eject the other legged stuff and flee. Salvage: Victor LA, RA, H, RL Striker 2S – Destroyed LL; see below Dragon - missing H; see below Enforcer – missing LL; see below Centurion – destroyed RL; see below Marauder 3L – destroyed LL; current value is 5,867,125 to fix ii 600k. I add the Victor parts. Do I have a Striker LL? I rarely go after them. I do and in that 2S chassis to. Added!! The Dragon H? I don’t have any Dragon parts at all, any other 60 tonners? That’s Rifleman and Merlin and QDraw among others. Got a QB one but toss a 2 to fix it and it won’t fit. Others? Got a 2nd QD and that works (tossed a 7) added! I rarely go after Enforcers too, any of their parts here too? Got it, added! The Centurion RL? Got it, added! MAD 3L LL? Tons of pats but no legs. Other 70 tonners like Archers, Grasshoppers or Cataphracts! All commonly blown up. None of those Warhammer? Nope! I pay the 600k and it’s up and running and my War Chest is 781,241,720. |
Mar 29, 3030 – The Lyrans take the info from the Helm Memory Core building from their database and stuff from their warehouse and we head back to the JumpPoint with nothing salvageable in value they took it. We will get back on Galatea on May 2, 3030.

Here is their Partisan – an assault vee weighing 80 tons moving 3/5 with just 96 armor and 4 AC5, and 2 MGs, pic:  |
Set up – We barely lose 6-5. We set up my Atlas flank and then under it our Behemoth and then our Demolisher and such too. They set up in the middle of the Base. Remember this base has a narrow channel that blocks LOS.
Turn 1 – We also lose by one 7—6. We each rose one. We charge five, their Patton gets in front of our Banshee’s and it bases them but moves just 3 and then our walkers of Awesome and BM base it too with 4 move on the sides. I base their Orion with my Atlas and Hunchback. Their Wolverine bases our Hunchback’s flank and now open I base it with our Crusader and JagerMech. And Hopper too, then their Demolisher moves into that spot. Their Stalker bases my Archer. We finish and then I fire 12 mechs and 6 vees at their Atlas and then another 6 vees at their SRM Carrier. I need to take down the Atlas!!! Our Awesome shears off the head, dead mech! Then our Grasshopper destroys it’s RL and our Demolisher it’s CT, dead again. Our Von Lucker destroys their Carrier’s front. They half my Behemoth’s speed. Melee!!! Our Atlas drops their Orion but it’s not legged. Our BM destroys the Patton’s side. Down! Our CRD and JM crack the Wolverine in the same leg and hit the hip and lower leg and falls. Their Stalker drops our Archer to the ground. Turn 2 - We also lose by one 9-8. Weird. Not 8-7 though. We rise and backup our Archer. I eject my Behemoth, they base our Archer with their Stalker and Merlin they rise their Orion and retreat. I keep it based with my Atlas and Hunch. Our BM, Banshee and Awesome base their MAD3M. Their Wolverine rises and flees and my Grasshopper and CRD base it, but I pull back my JagerMech since it’s next to Orion. My Wolfhound and Jenner base their Locust. Weapons! I send my 12 mechs at their Demolisher and 6 vees each at the Shreck and LRM Carrier. Our JM destroys the Demolisher’s turret! Dead tank! Their Schrek front is destroyed by my Ontos and my Von Luckner is destroyed. Our Maxim destroys their LRM Carrier’s front back. Kicks time!!! Can I leg their Orion, MAD3M and Wolverine? Our Jenner destroys the RL on their Locust, their Orion survives and falls but isn’t legged. Durable. Their Wolverine’s RL is taken out by our Hopper. Their MAD3M drops, hits it’s wounded LL we cracked and destroys it. With their CO killed, and three mechs legged and all other leaders out, their XO in the Stalker calls it and they retreat.

Beginning of Contract #58:
April 22, 3030 – Arriving for their 4 month security deal in CC space at the developed and welcoming Ares for a bit until tensions die down is Vee #8 and Ju Ni. The deal four months begins today and ends August 22. We unload. For each month here I will toss 2d12 and see if anything happens. We have split scouting into two lances of one vee and one mech around their government and then mixing so if I have scout mechs then our close and assault vees are with them. For one month I need to toss a 8, 9, 10 or 11 for something to happen. Month one is s 3. Nothing! Month 2? 6, nothing! Month 3? 10..uh oh… July 27, 30https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/images/editor/separator.gif30 – While scouting with our ranged mechs and vees, they smash us. We unload and see what they have! Here is Ju Ni ranged: Awesome Stalker Trebuchet Catapult C1 And Vee #8 has: Rhino Support Schrek PPC Carrier Hunter Zhukov Not bad save the lightly armored Schrek normally needing protection from close stuff! The armor on the ranged mechs are great save the Trebuchet. The rebels have two lances too! Mechs: BattleMaster – yay, veteran. CO Warhammer 6L Cicada Locust 1L (introduced this year, has 4 tons of armor, triple strength myomer and 2 MG, 1 ML and 8/12 movement Love to bring in that advanced Locust but not made of enough weapons or JJ to go overheat. Yay for another potential BM! Vees: Demolisher – XO love it, veteran Brutus – love it Vedette (Liao) Scimitar Here is their Cicada – a 40 ton mech with Locust speed, light armor, Locust weapons and then good in a physical battle with twice the damage dealt.  We are in the middle and they on top. |
We lose setup 5-11 on the 3rd toss after two ties. I set up at the top. I send my Awesome on top of my Schrek to protect it, so you’ll have to base it to kick my Schrek. I set up first to see where they go the TBT and then their Devastator is in the far right corner. Their BM in the left flank and everything not in the right with their Devastator and nothing else.
Turn 1 – We win init 8-7. I move 5 where possible. Their Demolisher moves first in front of my Stalker I base it but move 3. Do I move my Awesome 3 to base their Warhammer? I hold off. My Catapult bases it instead. Their BM Bases my Catapult’s flank, my Awesome bases it’s rear but only moved two. Our TBT bases it’s flank. I fire at their BM to try and help, but without the hole opening of a smash mouth guy it’s less likely. We go internal in it’s Rl it falls and blacks out. As does our Catapult but didn’t black out. Melee! Our Awesome destroys it’s RL and it’s legged! Turn 2 – We keep init and win 8-2. They assign that move to the BM. Should my Stalker base their Brutus or stay near their Demolisher? I’ll wait but our Catapult rises and bases it. Their Demolisher moves and protects it’s internal flank and I base their Brutus. Our Awesome to their Warhammer’s rear and next to the Brutus too. Our TBT on their Vedette. So I want to take out that Demolisher with weapons and then the Brutus with melee. But the Demolisher turned it’s back to me, which only has 20 total armor combined, so I don’t want to overkill so I send 4 at it and then 4 at the Warhammer to try for an unlikely hail mary. I go overheat. Our Hunter destroys their Demolisher’s rear armor on the first salvo on it. Okay, dead tank!! Our first kill from, Vee 8! Our Stalker destroys their Warhammer’s LA and our Catapult hit it’s engine and gyro once each, it fell and we cracked the head a bit with SRms so he blacked out with 3 hits. Melee can we take out the Brutus? We all hit but no immobile or destroyed. Their BM wakes up, ejects from the legged mech and they flee! Salvage: BattleMaster missing RL; See below Warhammer 6L missing a LA and hit gyro and engine once each, blacked out pilot. See below Demolisher - missing rear armor. I toss a 4 and cannot salvage Can I fix the BM RL? Got one in LL form, other 85 tonners? Like the Stalker or Longbow? Got a LongBow one and I toss a 7 and it works, added! The Warhammer 6L LA? We fix the rest easily enough, on the 1st and 2nd tries. Got the arm in a 6L form, added! |
We take apart the Demolisher and find here 450k.
August 5, 3030 - Then we are patrolling an area with our close mechs and scout vees and then they smash us with… This is Ju Ni’s Smash: BattleMaster 1G Banshee 3S Charger 1A5 Thunderbolt Vee #8 Scout: Condor (Liao) Maxim Heavy Hover Tank Pegasus Drillson Here we are!!! Here they are!!! Mechs: Victor 9B – vet, CO Grasshopper – yay! Dervish Raven Nice Hopper to bring in. Vees: SturmFeur (SRM) – veteran and XO – love it! Bulldog Goblin Pegasus Love that SF and Pegasus. This is their SF variant with 85 tons, moves 3/5, has 312 points of armor, LRm 20 in the front, and then turret has 4 SRM4 and 4 MG too. Here’s a pic:  We are in the middle they the north in the open terrain #3. |
Set-up – we lose 5-4. Low scoring. I set up my BM flank at the top first. Their Victor is to the back of the north center and most of the rest are in the right corner.
Turn 1 – We win init by one 10-9. Their SSF moves early on the flank over their Bulldog. I could base it with my Charger to try and kick it, but I’ll wait because i want to kick out legs on their Grasshopper. Their Hopper next to our Drillson and Pegasus, I base it with the Charger but only moved 2. Our TDR base it. Our Banshee to their Victor’s rear. I fire at their SF. Our Maxim destroys it’s turret, dead tank! Melee!!! We kick their Hopper to the ground! It kicks my TDR to the ground. Turn 2 – We keep init 9-5. Their Hopper rises but stands in the same spot, I stay based with my Charger. Their Victor hops to the other side of woods. Our Banshee on their Goblin. Our TDR Rises and moves around their Hopper still based to it. Our BM bases it too,. If I can see their Victor I fire at it. I go overheat too. Otherwise the um….Dervish I guess? On the 2nd attack the Charger hit the ammo in the Dervish – boom, dead mech!! Melee!! Can I leg the Hopper? Our BM destroys it’s savaged LL and it destroys our savaged LL on our TDr, both legged. They pull back and eject from their legged mech!!! Salvage: SturmFuer (SRM) – destroyed turret. We toss a 9 and can salvage it!!! Dervish – LA, RA, H, LL, RL Grasshopper – missing LL; see below I add the Dervish parts. Yay for the salvaged tank!!! Do I have the Hopper LL? Nope no legs, other 70 tonners? Got a Cataphract that works and tossed a 6 and it works. Added!!! Us: TDR – LL – battle loss 750k. Do I have a TDR LL? Yup, fixed! Battle Loss – TDR LL 750k had spare nothing spent. |
We find from here salvaged around 250k.

Beginning of Contract #59: April 20, 3030 - Khamésh Company arrives at the CC Nadir JumpPoint world of Capricorn III next to Ares and here to the Object Raid for the St. Ives Compact here, and we brought the entire fleet here to dislodge them. This is a super quiet world with nothing on any of my IS Atlas or Sarna.net that I refer too mentions anything, plus this just after the 4th savaged the CC military, economy and worlds and more stuff, so I doubt just three months later there will be much here to stop us like the previous ones that had real stuff, this just has a mech company and that’s it. We arrive and see that yes, there is just an Invader here of three DropRings, two of which have stuff, an Achilles and Leopard CV. That would be space for a Union. They unload and move towards us. They have 8 fighters and then 4 Aquarius from the Achilles and Invader. We blast them fast, they lose everything but the Leopard CV which heads back and was savaged, can we chase and take it out? I’m saying yes if I toss an 8 or higher. Just a 3, nope. Can we salvage the Achilles? I toss a 9, so yes. It costs us 10 mill, spent!!! War Chest is - 781,785,381 They jump out and flee with the Leopard and have fled the system, no other Jumps for them at the Zenith JumpPoint. Battle Loss at JumpPoint: We took 6 mill in damage. We lost just 2 fighters permanently for a total of 11,622,780. We lost two and can salvage for 1.25 mill. Then we can salvage 4 of their Fighters for 3.65 mil and then two of their Aquarii for 2.6 mill. We scour and find at the JumpPoint just 3.5 mill in cash. Lighter, but lighter battle. We capture the JumpPoint, we head to the planet. April 25, 3030 - We arrive and then there is no DropShips here to smash or protest our presence so we land with massive air superiority. We use our fighters to verify their location, and size, yup, it’s a mech company and there is a Union here for them to get out, and then here is the HQ we need to take out. The Capricorn III Defenders! Here they are: BattleMaster - veteran, CO – yay!!! Goliath – regular, XO Archer – yay!!! Cataphract Rifleman Griffin Phoenix Hawk Vindicator Vulcan 2T - sorry Firestarter FS9A Spider!!! Wasp 1L Love that BM and Archer!!! Since they have been savaged by the war, I am ruling that they are green unless otherwise stated. I also don’t mind legging that PXH and Griffin since they are pretty good scouts. I prefer the better heat sinks and armor of heavier stuff to the PXH though the Griffin has an LRM and PPC not great with scouting. Love that Spider!! Remember we have here Khamésh Company which is: Atlas AS7-D Orion ONI-iK BattleMaster 1S Banshee 3S Stalker 3H Trebuchet TBT5N Whitworth Warhammer 6R Grasshopper 5H Jenner JR7-F Locust 1E Phoenix Hawk 1 This is a great smash, but a Warhammer 6R is okay, and then the Stalker is great. But that TBT/Whit combo is bad and I’d prefer a Hammer 6D. The scout lance is good too. I should swap that Whit for a better missile boat. Remember that’s the 3H Stalker variant with 2 LRM 20s and the BM variant has an LRM 15, one LRm5 and 2 SRM2s and then 4 ML and 20 sinks. So that;s the reason I only went with the Whit/TBT combo since I have a bunch of LRMs from that duo. But armor wise not great. This is each of ours Phoenix Hawks with 45 tons, 6/9/6 movement, just 10 heat sinks, LL, 2 MG, 2 ML and then 128 armor, okay for a 45 tonner but not the best. We are on the bottom and then they in the middle in a fort. |
Set up – we toss a 8 vs 6 and win set up! I set up at the top of the south flank with my Assaults and Orion!!! Yeah! They set up roughly in the middle around a small level one building so I can see them.
Turn 1 – We lose 10-9. Not bad…close! Then I charge 5! Our BM Bases their Cataphract but moved 6 the others cannot catch him with 3/5 movement. Our WW camps heavy woods by the south edges the BM just left. Their Archer moves back. Their BM stood still in the heavy woods. Our Locust to their Cat’s flank. I fire at their BM with everything. Ideally I take it out this turn and then their Archer next. Our Locust hits the BM Srm ammo in the LT, dead mech! Insert sad face here! That exploding engine cascade failed. It hit the engine once and gyro twice for their Goliath, and then their Cataphract’s AC5 ammo in the LT it booms too!! So in one shot our Locust finished off THREE mechs!!! That’s Kristie Sabola’s 6th KO! Their Wasp also lost it’s RA. It turned the hex to rubble! WHOA!!!!! With both Assaults and their smash heavy taken out are they even going to keep pushing? I toss a 2d6 it’s an 8. They keep on coming. Turn 2 – We win init, 10-3! Wowzer!!! They actually turn the Goliath to us to keep their XO in the game. I keep my WW in the heavy stuff. Since my Locust is open in the CT I eject it. Does my Atlas base their Vulcan or wait until they move their Archer? I’ll wait. Our Warhammer bases their FS. Our Atlas bases their Archer but none other big ones can reach it. Our PXH to it’s flank though. Our Orion bases their Goliath on the ground. Their Rifleman bases my Stalker’s front to keep me from moving forward, great sac play there! I move around to it’s rear and face it. Our Hopper bases it’s flank, no kicks. Our BM bases their Griffin. Should my Jenner base the RFL too or move north to their Archer but not based? If I did I couldn’t fire at the Archer. Done. Let’s leg the RFL and destroy the Archer. I fire everything that can see their Archer at it. Our Orion hit the ammo in their Archer’s RT, dead mech! Also LRMs our BM destroys the RL on their Wasp and damage goes up to the RT and its on the ground. Melee! Can I leg the Rifleman? Yup! Well that went right whereas keeping the Archer and BM alive didn’t. Our Hopper destroys it’s RL Salvage: BattleMaster – LA, LL, H, RT, RA, RL Cataphract – LA, LL, H, RL, RT, RA Archer - RA, H, LA, LL, Wasp 1L - Missing, RL, RT and RA; current value - 956,720 – to fix 700k Goliath – 1 engine, 2 gyro hit, Rifleman missing RL; see below Hmmm… sometimes the ammo blow up gods don’t smile on you. We fix up the Golaith;s engine in 1 attempt and then the gyro on the 2nd, yay! Added! Do I have a RFL RL? No legs there at all. Other 60 tonners like Dragons or QDs? Got a Merlin one added! I don’t pay for the Wasp and add it. |
April 27 – We loot their base and find here 400k of cash and then we blow it up!!!

Just as a heads up, in terms of mechs I like for smashing I've still got TBolts and Charger's in the assault side but that's it. I also have some Orions but all out of everything else from BM's to Banshees and more, then for fire support I am out of Awesomes and have some Longbows though and that's it, out of Archers, CRDs, and Catapults, and Warhammer 6DS. For scouts I've got a Grasshopper left and that's it, no jumpy or Wolfhounds or Wolverines or other stuff like Locust 1Es or Jenner 7Fs. So, if we still don't have that much prior to the next one I could be outta some cash to get the goods and then maybe have the cash for what I want or trade sell mechs for it too.

Beginning of Contract #60:
May 1, 3030 – Khamésh Company arrives at the Nadir JumpPoint at the St. Ives Compact world of Brighton!!! There is a Charging station here. We have none splash and smash us. May 6, 3030 – We land on planet and begin to explore. This is a planet and nation rebuilding their miliary and building it anew as soloists. They only have a mech company here on defense in their HQ. We are to hit, and destroy it. Here is Khamésh Company in case you forgot: Atlas AS7-D Orion ONI-iK BattleMaster 1S Banshee 3S Stalker 3H Trebuchet TBT5N Whitworth Warhammer 6R https://forums.operationsports.com/f.../separator.gif Grasshopper 5H Jenner JR7-F Locust 1E Phoenix Hawk 1 It’s got that dope-y TBT and Whitworth combo. Otherwise, good to go though. Here are the St. Ives Compact Brighton Defenders: Stalker 3H – veteran, Co, that’s the 2 LRM 20 variant. Victor 9B – veteran, XO, Archer – yay!!!! Cataphract 2X – Nice for twice!! Crusader 3R – yayx2!!! Centurion Cicada Whitworth Wolverine 6D – has an AC10 and 1 ML. Stinger Spider!!! Wasp 1L This is their 70 ton Cataphract 2X. It still moves 4/6, heat sinks at 14 instead of 16, adds armor and now has 208 to 176 for the 1X. It has for weapons LL, Ac10, 2 Ml, 1 SRM 4. Love that better armor it’s more durable for a close mech, would love to snag it.  They are regular, and in the middle, us on the bottom. Love that Stalker, Spider, Archer, CTF and CRD!!!! |
We win set up 10-8. I set up on the north flank of the area my Atlas in the middle of five on top. They set up their Victor close to me and then everyone else on the back side.
Turn 1 - We win inti 10-7, pretty similar as before. Their Stalker moves towards us first. I want to destroy the leg of their Archer and CRD with assault kicks and Stalker and Cataphract with normal attacks. Do I base the Stalker this turn? I could base it with my BM and Atlas this turn. I move the BM to base it and the Cataphract that moved next to it. Their Archer bases it’s flank, I base the Archer with our Banshee. No one else can base it, but our Hopper bases their CRD. Their Wolverine bases my Jenner. Our Atlas bases their Stalker. Our LCT bases their Wolverine’s flank. Their Victor didn’t move and is next to my Banshee’s flank. I fire everything at their Stalker and hope to bring it down. Hopefully not with an ammo explosion! Our Grasshopper destroys it’s RL, legged! Then hits the ammo in the RT, boom, dead mech!!! That’s not good. No falls. Melee! All four of our kicks landed and we dropped their Cataphract and Archer to the ground. Turn 2 – We lose init 7-9. Their WW moves first. They are trying to bait my big guys away from the middle with that Stinger and Cicada flanking me but near them. The Spider I would, but not those. They move their Spider finally on my west flank. It’s too far from assaults, but I can base it with my Hopper and PXh, does that work? I move over my PXH first. Their Cataphract doesn’t rise. Our Hopper bases their Spider later. Their Centurion bases my WW. Their Archer rises, my BM bases it, Banshee too! Do I fire at their CTF or VTR? CTF if I can see it. I go overheat. Our Orion destroys their CTF’s damaged RL. Our Banshee’s Small laser hits the Archer in front to soften it up and hit the gyro 2 and engine 1. It’s immobile! That’s Shmavon Meghrian’s 4th KO with us. Our Jenner hit their Cataphract’s ammo in it’s Lt, dead mech, boom!!! Insert sad face there because I was hoping to bring it in. No falls by us, but their Victor tumbles. Can I leg the Spider? It’s +4 to be hit. Bad news and good news. The bad news is that we didn’t leg the Spider sorry. We each hit but separate legs. Good news is that our Banshee punched their Centurion in the head four 10 and hit the cockpit, it’s down randomly. Nice 2nd kill in the same turn!!! No tanks there either!!! They flee! Salvage: Stalker 3H - H, LL, RA, LA CTF 2X – LA, RA, LL, H Archer – 2 gyro, 1 engine. Centurion - hit cockpit That’ s a weird game. And odd salvage too. We didn’t take out any parts we need to replace. I was hoping to bring in the Stalker and CTF we blew up and both on that turn were legged, I was hoping to bring in a legged Archer, CRD and Spider, and only one. Weird. We fix the Archer’s gyro in 5 days and engine in 2. Added. The Centurion cockpit is repaired in 5 days on the 3rd try. Added! I love the Archer, but that CNT is like our billion-ith. |

Set up – We lose by two 9-7. I set up my Atlas flank on top!!!!! They are at the top of the center.
Turn 1 – We lose 8-7. They move their Longbow first. Do I want to base it? Or wait for others? Our Awesome bases it. They hop their Catapult away behind trees. Insert sad face. Their Cyclops charges us and bases our Awesome’s flank and Hammer’s front. Our Archer bases it and moved 4 and our Atlas it’s flank 4 moved too. Their Orion bases my Archer flank, I base it with Banshee and Orion back. Our PXH bases their Wolfhound that ran behind the woods. I fire at their Longbow and hope to bring it down without an ammo boom. Our Atlas AC20 on THE FIRST SHOT destroys its head, dead mech and pilot. That’ll piss them off. No falls. Melee? Their Cyke falls and then one leg had 6 left internal. No other falls. Turn 2 – We grab init 10-6, yay!!! They bring up the Catapult, do I base it with our Awesome? I move it 3 and do so our Warhammer bases it too. Our PXH bases their Wolfhound again and Jenner too their Spider flees. Our Jav bases their Wolfhound too. Our Atlas bases their PXH and our Hunch does as well. Their Cycke stands. Our Hopper and Archer base their Cyclops to try and leg it. Then their Hopper leaps. Can I base it? Nope, I base their Orion with my other two mechs already on it. I fire at their Orion to bring it in. Their Wolfhound hits the engine in my Archer in a through armor crit. Our Warhammer destroys their Orion’s LA. Our Grasshopper destroys it’s CT, and that’s NOT an ammo explosion just normally, insert sad face. No falls! Can I leg the Catapult with the softening with 14 left internal, Wolfhound, PXH and/or Cyke? Our Hunch legs their RL on the PXH and our Warhammer legs the Catapult’s RL too! Our Archer and Hopper DOUBLE Leg their Cyke, funny! Our Jenner also RLs legs their Wolfhound. Since we killed their CO they surrender and then we get the legged mechs we fought, the Outworlds Alliance gets what we didn’t take out and we get the Union!

Beginning of Contract #64:
June 13, 3030 – Arriving in the Gan Singh system is the Sip-Sam, Shoondzah and Oitavio companies to raid the FS Defenders that we put into place. No issues at the JumpPoint. June 26, 3030 – We arrive and land!!! We hit their new HQ. We are to take out the HQ and then take as much materiel as possible. You should know Shoondzah it was pretty recently put together, but Sip-Sam is: Atlas AS7D BattleMaster 1G Charger 1A5 Thunderbolt Awesome Catapult C1 Trebuchet Archer 2R Grasshopper Javelin 10F Wolverine 6R Spider Nice scout and punch company with light TBT the rest as expected. Here is Oitavio: AS7D Atlas BattleMaster 1G Thunderbolt 5S Guillotine 4L Awesome 8Q ARC2S Archer Crusader 3D Trebuchet 5N Vulcan 5T Spider Javelin 10F Griffin1S Another great smash and fire support with the TBT but that the scout – a Grasshopper is sad. We are facing a Davion Battalion of Mech Love! Assault: Atlas 7D – veteran - CO Banshee 3S – veteran BattleMaster 1D – vet, XO Charger – vet, not the good one we love Stalker - veteran Zeus 6T – veteran Great rolls just the bad Charger and weakish Zeus. I’d love to bring in the first three, especially that Atlas. Heavy: Archer!!!! Crusader 3D!!!! JagerMech Marauder 3D Merlin Orion!!! Quickdraw Rifleman Warhammer 6D!!!!! Love that CRD, it’s my fav since it’s got real sinks. Warhammer too! I am out of Archers love that too. Not really needing another Orion since others are more important but happy to grab it. Medium: Centurion Dervish 3 Enforcer Hunchback! Griffin!! Phoenix Hawk!!! Scorpion Shadow Hawk 2D Trebuchet!!!! Wolverine 6D – AC10 and ML Be happy with another TBT, Hunch, PXH and Griffin, but not the best Wolverine in the world for scouting. Light: Commando Javelin 10F!!! 2 Locust Stinger 2 Wasp 2 Wolfhound Love that 10F!!! These are all regular unless otherwise noted. They are in north instead of the center since this will be longer and I wanted to give them more time to respond. This is their and our founding unit Marauder 3D variant. It’s 75 tons, 4/6 movement, adds 4 heat sinks from the base to 20 and then okay armor at 184 (max would be 231) and then pulls the ammo exploded AC5 for a LL and then still has 2 PPC and 2 ML which you never fire since running and the LL and PPC make 20 heat.  |
Set-up: We lose barely 6-7. Both okay but not great numbers. I set up my two Atlases at the top central and then there the top of the map in a giant circle to be as far away from me as possible. Their key assaults and Orion and Hunch in the middle like me.
Turn 1 – We lose again, by one, 10-9 better scores though. I charge 5, pretty far away. They do the same. Their Wolfs, Locusts and Commando flank us. I base the Commando on the left with our 2 Spiders, hopefully I can leg it. Weapons fire! My first 18 mechs target their Atlas and my last 18 their BM! Shoondah’s TBolt LL hit their Atlas in the head and sheered it off, dead mech and pilot and CO too, sorry. That’ll annoy them! However, Sip-Sim’s TBolt hit its ammo, dead mech, no salvage. Ouchie!!! I wanted that. Oitavo’s GLT destroys the BM’s RL, the TBT it’s LL, double legged! We also destroy it’s RA and hit a gyro once. It can be salvaged. In one barrage we take out both leader mechs and one leader completely. Melee we drop the Commando and it’s internal in the LL. Turn 2 – They keep init this turn, 8-6. Another 6. We charge 5, they do too. The eject theri BM! They base our Atlas’s flank with an Enforcer. We base it with our Archers and CRD. They base our now exposed Archer’s flank with an Orion. Their Wolverine bases it’s rear. Their Commando rises and runs and I stay based with the Spiders. Our team bases their Wolverine with two TBts and then our Warhammer 6D the only heavy or bigger one, doubt that’ll crack the leg. They have Wolfhounds and Locusts in our flanks and rear and have outflanked our position. We base a Wolfhound with our 2 Jav 10Fs. We cannot crack it’s armor and leg it in one turn with those too good. Weapons fire – I split out 18 at their Banshee and then the rest at their Orion. It’s the only one with enough armor to maybe survive 18 mechs, doubt it though. Shoondzah’s Grasshopper cracks open the Banshee’s CT and then hit the engine twice. Sip-Sam’s Charger 1A5’s AC20 destroys the RL and then SRMs hit the hip in the LL and it’s Awesome destroys the mech’s RT, RA on the ground! Oitavo’s Awesome hit the ammo on the Orion, boom dead mech! That was probably going to happen, however their Hunchback got a through armor crit on our ammo on Shoondzah’s TBolt, dead mech. Melee! We leg the Commando’s RL. We drop their Wolfhound and our Warhammer goes internal on their Wolverine’s LL and then it falls. Our Crusader legs their Enforcer’s LL. Yay! Turn 3 – We finally win init 6-4. Still rolled a 6. They move, first, their Stalker and it bases our Atlas’s front. I stay next to it but turn and back to count as moving. Can I leg a Stalker? I could base it with tons. I wait. Their Charger bases the rear of my Archer 2S. They move their Warhammer 6D, based, with our Atlas, BM, and Banshee in the front. Their Wolfhound rises and then our Javs base it and our Spiders and then 2 Vulcan 5Ts base their other Wolfhound flanking me. Their Jav leaps away I cannot base it with anything, sad. I base their Stalker with two Awesome and Shoondzah’s Banshee and 2 Chargers, why not try and leg it? Melee! I send one company each at their Archer, CRD and Warhammer! Shoondzah’s Archer hit the ammo on their Archer, dead mech, but not salvageable, sad. Sip-Sam’s Catapult destroys the RA of their Crusader and then the Grasshopper there the RL and it falls and destroys the RT. Legged! We savage their Warhammer with Oitavo but it’s still standing, literally and figuratively too. No parts missing. Melee! Our Atlas legs their Warhammer RL! Our Javs drop the Wolfhound but don’t leg it. Our 2 Vulcan and Spiders do the LL of their based one! Their Charger legs our Archer 2S’s RL. Our Banshee legs their Stalker’s LL. We have savaged their formations and mechs, and then they eject from the mechs! Salvage: Atlas - LL, RL,RA, LT, LA Archer – RA, LA, H, LL Orion – H, RA, LA, LL, RL BattleMaster 1D – Missing RL, LL, RA and a gyro hit; see below Banshee 3S – Missing RL, RT, 2 engine hits; current value is 6,870,745 – to fix is 2 mill Crusader 3D – Missing RL, RT, RA; see below Stalker – missing LL; see below Warhammer 6D – Missing RL; current value is 4,945,183 – to fix 1 mill Wolfhound missing LL; current value is 4,722,893 - to fix 1 mill.

Us: Shoondzah’s Thunderbolt – Lost – We salvaged – H, RA, RL, LA, LL, LT – Oitavo – Archer 2S missing RL – to fix 750k We lost a good mech! It costs 5,413,760 to fix but we have one in storage. I DO pay that cash since I wanna keep that spare for my next one. Do I have an Archer RL to replace mine? I didn’t salvage it. Nope, we replace it with 750k spent Battle Loss - 5,413,760 spent for TBolt and 750k for Archer leg. |

Turn 1 – We also thump them 9-4 in init. We are winning that at least. They move their Urbie first in front of my Banshee who is 6 away and cannot base. Their Rifleman behind woods, our Wolfhound bases its flank. Their Zeus charges us. Our Awesome bases it but only moved 4. Ditto our BM. Tier Wolverine and Catapult leap away. Our Warhammer and Charger base the Urban. Our Hunch their TBT that bases my Charger’s flank. Our Jenner bases their Rifleman and our PXH their Clint. Their Banshee stays standing still. I base its flank with my Catapult. I fire at their Banshee IF they can draw LOS but many like my Charger cannot. If they can’t I fire at their +4 to hit Catapult to either take it out or soften it for kicks later. Our BM hits the gyro on their Banshee once. Our Grasshopper destroys it’s RA. It falls. It’s still got armor on it’s legs, the Catapult has 10 left internal on a leg but otherwise is fine and didn’t fall. Melee!! Our Warhammer leg’s their Urbie’s RL and hits the ammo in the RT, boom, dead mech!!!! We drop their Rifleman and Zeus. Turn 2 – We toss the dice and win again 10-8. Our Charger bases their Merlin. Their Rifleman stays no getting up. Our PXH stays based with their Clint. Our Jenner bases their TBT’s flank. Our Wolfhound bases their Clint’s rear. They hop their Catapult behind our lines, I can base it with our Banshee but that would be not aiming at their Banshee or other stuff, I do it. Our Hunch bases their TBT. Their Banshee rises and runs away, then fell for running on a wounded gyro. Our Hopper near their Catapult. Our BM bases their Merlin and Awesome their TBT. Their Zeus rises and our Warhammer and Catapult base it!!! I fire at and try to finish off their Banshee If they can see it!! But +2 to hit on the ground and then medium or long range away.

Our Awesome legs their TBT and hit the ammo, boom dead mech too. That’s also Seamus Kilkenny’s 4th kill too!!! Our Warhammer legs their Zeus’s RL too!!!

Beginning of Contract #68:
June 16, 3030 - Epsilon Company and ῾Eono Company arrive at the TFR System of Carver V to set up shop for three months. June 21, 3030 – We land and get the Sitrep from the locals. Our contract ends on Sept 21,3030 when relief arrives. We are here to garrison and patrol the capital city. We will be sending out a pair of lances together to patrol of both fire support or one smash and the other scout. This system has pro-Liao sentiment from just leaving and they think there might be problems from the sympathizers. I will toss dice each month to see if the world has issues for us to handle. If I toss an 8 then yes! I toss a 7, 3 and 11! Uh oh… August 12, 3030 – An explosion happens near the capital city we are at. A local Liao noble claims credit. At their home is a company of mechs and vees each and 3 squads of infantry too. A mixed battalion. We send in both companies of our stuff to smash and force them out. Here is ῾Eono Company: BattleMaster 1G Banshee 3S Thunderbolt 5S Charger 1A5 Crusader 3R Catapult C1 Goliath 1N Warhammer 6R Dervish 5M Vulcan 5T Javelin 10F Locust 1E Great smash, but Dervish and not the best fire support one. Here is our 5tH Vee Company, Epsilon: Demolisher Manticore Ontos Brutus Rhino Fire Support Tank Zhukov Hunter Bulldog Sabaku Kaze Condor Maxim Saracen Huh….not bad but no Schrek or Devastator? Weird. Here are the Carver V Liao Sympathizers! Mechs: Goliath, veteran, CO Victor 9B, veteran, XO Cataphract Grasshopper!!! Thunderbolt!!! Cicada Scorpion Shadow Hawk Whitworth Stinger UrbanMech Wasp 1L Huh we each have Goliaths! Nice heavies. Vees: Demolisher, veteran, CO!!! Partisan, veteran, XO Schrek AC Carrier, veteran Bulldog Laser Carrier Rommel!!! Hetzer Vedette Harasser Laser Platform Scimitar Stalker Striker Love that Rommel with the AC20. They have 4 AC20s there. That’s nasty to take out. They are in the center and us the south and then they are regular. Here is their Rommel: it’s got an AC20, 176 armor, 4/6 movement, backup weapons of an LRm5 and SL and then weighs 65 tons and then was introduced just three years ago in 3027. |
Setup – We lose 7-9, by two. I set up on the top flank and then they in the arc around us. We are on the mansion map.
Turn 1 – We lose init again 10-2, ouch. They thumped us, I charge 5 where possible. They move their Cataphract into the front of my BM which can only move 3 to base it, so I do. I also base it with my Banshee and Charger for just walking too. Their Hopper bases my rear of my Charger. I then base it with my Goliath and Catapult and CRD. They then jump their Victor to the flank of our Charger too. Our Warhammer bases their Hetzer. They flank us with Harasser and Scimitar too and Stinger and Wasp on top. Melee! I aim my mechs at their TBolt +2 to hit and my tanks at their Demolisher. Our Charger destroys it’s RL, our Goliath it’s LA and then our Dervish hits the ammo in the RT boom, dead mech, sad, I needed that! I legged it too! Our Zhukov destroys the front of their Demolisher!!! Melee! Our Banshee drops their Cataphract and it has just 2 left in a RL. Our Goliath drops their Grasshopper and we leg its LL. Then their three heavy and assault kicks leg my Charger’s RL. It’s down. Turn 2 - We still lose init but close 7-6. I eject the legged Charger. They don’t their Hopper. They stand their Cataphract and stay there so I stay at it. We base their Scimitar with our Locust, Vulcan and Javelin. Their Shadow Hawk bases our Locust’s flank. Our TDR, Catapult and Goliath base their Laser Carrier. Their Whitworth bases our Locust’s other flank. I aim my mechs at their Victor and my vees at their Rommel! Our Crusader by Albert Du Monde hit the Victor’s ammo, boom, explosion, that’s his fourth kill! Our Bulldog hit and destroyed the left side of their Rommel, destroyed! They destroy our Ontos. Melee! We leg their Cataphract RL and they leg my Locust’s RL, but it destroyed the rear of their Scimitar and our Goliath the side of their Laser Carrier! That’s Sára Kondziolka in the Goliath’s 4th kill!!! They eject from their legged and lost two lances in two turns. Salvage: Thunderbolt – H, RA, LL, LT Victor – H, RA, LA, LL, RL Grasshopper missing LL; see below Cataphract missing RL; see below I add the sad TBolt parts, not surprised by the Victor boom though. Do I have the Grasshopper part in LL form? No legs from it. Other 70 tonners? Got an Archer one, added!!! The RL of the Cat? Got and added!!! Laser Carrier – destroyed side – toss a 6 and don’t salvage Demolisher – destroyed front and I toss a 2 and cannot salvage. Sad. Rommel – destroyed side, I toss a 5 and cannot salvage. Scimitar – destroyed rear, I toss an 8 and salvage it! I add the Scimitar! Sad about the Rommel and Demolisher though. Us: Charger 1A5 missing RL; see below Locust missing RL; current value - 1,324,200 – to fix 250k Ontos missing front, I toss a 2 and cannot salvage Wow rough, two lost limbs and then the tank. Do I have a Charger or Locust RL? No Charger parts at all, the RL from another 80 tonner? I use the Victor one salvaged. Then the Locust? No parts for it or other 20 tonners. I spend 250k. I do have one extra Ontos and it’s pretty unique so I want to keep it for my next company so I spend 2,265,413 to replace. Battle Loss - 2,515,413 Wow for a bad hit salvage and then losing my Ontos. |
