We are here to blow them down the beach and help hurt their rebuilding and such. This is both a smash and grab both. We arrive at the Nadir JumpPoint, no issues. June 12, 3030 – We land on Sarmaza and find no major landing issues. They have a battalion of mechs here to smash and then raid and blow up the base. We need to maximize the damage. Here are my stuff! Oitavo: AS7D Atlas BattleMaster 1G Thunderbolt 5S Guillotine 4L Awesome 8Q ARC2S Archer Crusader 3D Trebuchet 5N Vulcan 5T Spider Javelin 10F Griffin1S Great stuff save the lack of a Hopper and the lower rated TBT.

They are at the top, us at the bottom in a base. They are all regular. |
Set-Up – We lose 10-2. Ouch. We set up our three companies at the top of the south flank and then they in a giant circle.
Turn 1 – We lose init too closer 8-5. I charge five they are flanking us with their Commandos and Wolfhounds. I base the closest Wolfhound with a Spider and our Wolfhound too. They base my Spider with a Locust. Weapons fire! I fire 18 at their Longbow and Stalker. I hope to take them down with legs and such but not enough to blow them up!!! Our CRD in Oitavo destroys the Longbow in it’s RT by hitting ammo, boom, dead mech. We also double legged it too. That’s Ian’s 4th kill! Sip-Sam’s Catapult hits the ammo in the Stalker’s LA, dead mech!!! Overkill city! We also legged it. Melee? We wound their Wolfhound and then they hit our Spider too twice. Turn 2 – We lose init this round as well but a more respectable 8-7. Nice! We charge 5. They charge with their stuff, and we base their Orion with a Banshee and BM. Then their Victor leaps behind our line at our BM’s flank, I base it with four assaults. Their Zeus charges us and bases our TDR so we base it back with 2 Archers and a Catapult leapt to it’s flank. Their Warhammer bases us, so we base it with an Awesome, Longbow and both Grasshoppers. We base their wounded Wolfhound with the same three and then they move their flanks to our rear arc. Our other Spider bases their Commando and our Wolverine too. They push flanks like Stinger and FS and Wasp too. I fire 18 each again at their Orion and Victor 9B. Their Victor hit’s the RL on Sip-Sam’s Charger and destroyed it with the AC20. Shoondzah’s Warhammer 6D hits the ammo in their Victor, exploded! We also destroyed it’s H with an AC20 and then other limbs, dead pilot. Oitavo’s BM hits the ammo in their Orion, boom, dead mech. Wow we’ve blown up four mechs. That’s Agata’s 4th kill. Melee? Our Catapult legs their Zeus! Our Wolfhound legs theirs. Our Hopper legs their Warhammer! Three legs, nice! Dropping to the ground is our Archer 2R in Shoondzah. They have left two Assaults. They push. Turn 3 – We win, yay! 11-10 close, but I’ll take it. I eject our Charger. They backup their Archer, I cannot leg it with bases. I do base their CRD with three assaults and a TDR. We base their other Wolfhound with a Wolverine 6M and a Vulcan. We base their Banshee and Rifleman with three fire support mechs each, all heavy and assault. Our lights base their Commando.

It walks away. Then we leg their Rifleman’s LL! it’s down. They eject their 5 legged mechs, and we took out or legged 11 mechs!!! They flee and we capture the base. Salvage: Longbow – RA, LT, H, LA Stalker – RA, H, LL Victor 9B – RA, LL, LA Orion 1K – RA, H, LL Archer – RL, RA, H, LA Commando – RA, LL, H, LA, LT Zeus 6A – missing RL; see below Wolfhound missing LL; current value is 5,222,893 to fix – 500k Warhammer 6D missing RL; see below Crusader 3D missing LL; see below Rifleman missing LL; current value is 4,360,000 – to fix 500k I add the mech parts.

Sept 22, 3030 – The locals here raid the local nearby mech maker. We agree to hit them for the local governor. We are not contracted for this. Raiding is a merc mech company, so we send out the mech company of ‘Eono to help out and put the full vee on alert at the communications base we are set up at in case it’s a trap. They will give us the same deal as the ComStar plus a 1 mill CBill bonus if we take them out.

Their Union is around the planet moving out to the JumpPoint escorted by their 2 fighters, and here are the Leopard and Avenger. We each unfurl our assets, but we are up 4 fighters and 4 Aquarius and then the nasty Achilles. We savage their Avenger, and then their Leopard begins to retreat screened by their 2 last fighters, our fighters follow and destroy its screens, and the Achilles is faster, so it takes it out too. We’ve taken out all of them. Their JumpShip jumps out. Can we salvage their Avenger or Leopard CV? I toss a 5 and 9! Yes, to the Leopard CV!! It costs us 11 mill, spent now. War chest is 420,304,070.

EVENT Sept 11, 3030 – After increased friction from allying with the CC to not supporting them, the Duchy of Andurien fully declares independence and secedes. The Andurien Crisis begins. They’ll try to go it alone. They offer us a deal with rich Dame Humphreys money to back it up. They are at war with the CC and joined with the Magistracy of Canopus to dial out chunks of them while weakened to increase their size into harder to bite back chunks by the FWL and to make the Magistracy a real nation in size from a Periphery one. When on one attacked the FWL in the 4th Succession War instead of using that as an opportunity for grow massively they tentatively snagged a system here and there and then were hit with a counterpunch and called it. That was very unpopular with the powers that be. And Andurien massively.
Given our massive successes against the CC in all 7 Waves of Operation “Rat” for the FS against the CC in the fast 4th Succession War we are immediately contacted for a contract. They have the great Andurien Defender units. They have the Tooth of Ymir mercs and others. They want us to hit the two CC planets of Primus with nothing but CCAF defender’s and then the open Prix with no major defenders and want a Battalion each of mechs. We could send in #1, Deux and Tres, and the ones that just returned. The 6th Defenders will hit the Earthworks Mech world of Grand Base and then others will hit the key industrial world of Betelgeuse. I could try and negotiate two meches and then one vee company each. We agree to a 6-month Retainer deal and well send the following 9 units: Mech Companies: 1st Deux Tres Arba Nove Unsprezece Vee Companies: Alpha Beta Gamma Negotiation with Duchy of Andurien: We start with 330 points.

Beginning of the Primus Campaign: Sept. 13, 3030 – Our six-month Retainer contract begins and we were fast tracked here with Command Circuits. Arriving at the Primus JumpPoint at their Nadir one is Mech companies #1, Deux and Vee Alpha. We are arriving with Andurien escorts and ships to attack Cap defends since we cannot get our navy here. Primus is an agrarian world on the border but with little military value other than being a nice breadbasket. They have here just an Invader with an Avenger, Leopard CV and then 8 fighters, 2 from JumpShip and an open ring for an Overlord to ditto the Zenith one too. They blow through them and then they jump out and then we have controlled the JumpPoint Sept 19 – We arrive at the planet where two more Avengers and Leopard CVs and then an Overlord of fighters here too. They are easily handled. We follow them and then land safely a few hours from their HQ of the local militia. You might have forgotten our stuff since it’s been a while! Here’s our First Company: Atlas, AS7-D Hunchback, HBk-4G Banshee 3S BattleMaster, BLR-1G Great smash!! ARC-2R Archer Crusader, CRD-3D JagerMech, JM6A Awesome, Aws-8Q That’s the good JagerMech, but still not great here. Wolfhound WLF1 JR7-F Jenner Grasshopper, GHR-5H Javelin, JVN-10F Not bad here either!!! With three Anti-Mech infantry. The Atlas has the XO of the unit and wife and co-founder Flavia. Here’s Deux Company: CTF-1X Cataphract ON1-K Orion STK-3F Stalker TDR-5S Thunderbolt Not great Cataphract and Stalker is more of a ranged mech to my mind. AWS-8Q Awesome MAD-3D Marauder ZEU-6 Zeus CRD-3D Crusader Not great Zeus or Marauder. ENF4-R Enforcer VND-1R Vindicator VLK-QA Valkyrie VT-5T Vulcan That Enforcer has the CO Evan Marsh founder. And three infantry, Alpha Company: Patton Goblin Medium Tank Condor Hover Tank Von Luckner Manticore Heavy Tank Behemoth Brutus Assault Tank Bulldog Medium Tank Maxim Heavy Hover Transport Pegasus Scout Hover Tank Vedette Medium Tank Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun That Patton has CO of the unit and co-founder Steven Marsh.

Here is their AL House Liao version of the durable Centurion, it swaps the default AC10 for a less ammo needing LL but less damage too. It debuted way back in 2915. But it adds in more armor and heat sinks with that swap. Pic???  They are on the far side of the plains base with little around it representing the agricultural aspects of the planet. |
Set-up – We lost 9-7. Close I suppose! I set up our heavier smash stuff in the middle and smash vees, all at the bottom of the northern most flank we are on. They set up around us with nothing in the top most-south flank they are on.
Turn 1 – We lose this too, big - 10-4. By 6. I charge 5 everywhere. Our Atlas first, they begin to flank us down the sides with their Locusts, Javelin and Spider and more. I base their Locust on the left flank with our Vulcan and Valkyrie, and then on the right flank their Spider with our three scout lights there. Their Wasps base our Maxim. Weapons fire! I split and fire 18 each at their no-ammo booming Awesome and then their Atlas, both at around 7-9 away depending on where they are. Our Enforcer removes the LA on their Atlas, and then our Patton it’s RA, and Behemoth its RL. Legged!!! Our JagerMech beheads their Awesome, dead mech! Sorry. Then we destroyed its RL, RT and LT, LA too. Melee! We drop their Locust and Spider. Our Maxim is immobile. Turn 2 - We also lose, but just by one 5-4. Ouch. We eject the Maxim and then charge 5. They run in front of our Atlas with their Cataphract 3 in front, I base it and then also with our Banshee and BM too. They rise their Locust, my Valkyrie and Vulcan stick on it. They rise their Spider too, my 3 lights stay, they are in my rear flank with their flankers. They hop their Grasshopper to the rear of my JagerMech I just moved up to expose it. Bait taken! I base with my Awesome, Stalker, Zeus and Vindicator. They base our Behemoth with some lights. Weapons fire!!! I fire 12 each at their Stalker, Longbow and then Orion. Our Grasshopper hit the ammo in their Stalker’s RA – boom, dead mech! Our Marauder 3D hit the ammo in their Longbow RT boom, dead mech. Our Pegasus legs their Orion’s RL, and our Brutus it’s RT too. They savage our Behemoth. Melee? We leg their Locust’s RL by our Valkyrie. Our Wolfhound legs the same leg in their Spider!!! They finish off my Behemoth’s front. Our Vindicator their Grasshopper’s LL legged. We drop their Cataphract but no legs, since we split them. They drop our Awesome. Turn 3 – We lose this one by 4, 11-7. Craps!!! They don’t eject any legged dorks. I rise our Awesome. We charge their Thunderbolt and base it with my three assaults on the Cataphract last turn. It rises, and we move next to it with our Crusaders. Their lights scouted are on our rear based. Our MAD and Enforcer base their Urbie. They base my Brutus with lights too. We base their Marauder 3L with two Awesomes and a Stalker. They leapt their Catapult away, no kicks. We charge their Scorpion after it bases our Stalker’s rear with our Grasshopper and Vindicator and Zeus. They eject and we cannot take their Wolverine or PXH either. Their Zeus and Goliath base my Atlas. We fire 12 each at their Zeus, Goliath and TBolt with the not-great vee squad. Our Awesome in 1st Company hit ammo in their Zeus’s RT. Dead mech!!! Our Marauder 3D destroys the FRL on the Goliath and our Valkyrie hit the ammo, boom, dead mech!! Our AC20 in the Hetzer destroys their Thunderbolt’s RT, our Manticore its RL too. They destroy the ammo in my Valkyrie – boom! Dead mech. Melee! Our Crusader legs their Cataphract’s RL. We split up and didn’t leg their MAD3L. We did leg their Scorpion and Urbie though. They destroyed our Brutus’s left side too. They flee and then eject from legged mechs. We took out four assaults with booms and then legged 10 more!!! Sorry. They surrender, and then load up in their Overlord and then flee the planet. They head to the JumpPoint. Salvage: Stalker – H, LA, LL Longbow – RA, H, RL, LT Zeus – RA, H, LL Goliath – H, LT, RFL, RLL Atlas – missing RL, LA, RA; current value - 8,126,000 – to fix 1.5 mill Awesome – missing H, RL, RT, LT, LA; see below Orion 1K – missing RL, RT; current value - 5,2574,500 – to fix 1.25 mill Locust 1L – missing RL; current value - 1,698,400 – to fix 150k Spider missing RL; current value - 2,734,540 - to fix 250k Grasshopper missing LL; see below Thunderbolt missing RT, RL; see below Cataphract 2X missing RL; current value - 5,377,353 – to fix 500k Scorpion – missing RLL; current value - 4,701,800 – to fix 500k UrbanMech 60L – missing LL; current value - 1,431,125 – to fix 150k I add the four body parts.

Brutus – destroyed our left, can we salvage? Yup, 8 tossed! Valkyrie – RL, RA,H, LA We can fix our Maxim easy and recover our Brutus. I cannot bring back the Behemoth and ammo blown up Valkyrie too. Battle Loss – 5,249,987 – We replace both destroyed units. Our 9 infantry squads and vees and mechs take over all population centers. We’ll stay behind to deal with resistance cells. Andurien has folks that’ll take over the government too. We have captured Primus!!! END OF THE PRIMUS CAMPAIGN!!! |
Beginning of the Prix Campaign:
Sept. 13, 3030 – Arriving at the Prix Nadir JumpPoint are the 5 new infantry we rescued, and then Tres and Arba Mech companies and then Vee Beta Company, as well as Andurien Escorts. Prix is more industrial than Primus, but not massively so. At the JumpPoint is just an Invader with an Avenger, Leopard CV and that it. They are handled massively. Sept 30, 3030 – We arrive at the planet after a 17-day journey. The Anduriens take out the locals and we land and get our scout on for their defenses. We meet up with their planetary leaders. They surrender the planet. They don’t want it destroyed and there is no local force just infantry and such. They also feel that getting retaken by the CCAF is unlikely given how far away they are and un-valuable they are right after the 4th smashed them hard. The Anduriens taken over and they are going to use it as a waypoint and resupply depot. They will work together. END OF THE PRIX CAMPAIGN!!! |
Beginning of the Altorra Raid:
Nov 02, 3030 – Our other three companies arrive at the CC world of Altorra at their Nadir JumpPoint. This is a diversionary raid to keep it seem like the Anduriens are hitting this world. We do have our navy here though, just a pair of Achilles, Leopard CVs and then Overlord and Gazelle on two Invaders. At the JumpPoint is just an Avenger and Leopard CV, we handle them both easily. Can we salvage one or both? I toss an 11 and 8, so yes to the Avenger. It’ll cost us 9 mill, spent! War Chest is 443,449,127. Battle Loss at JumpPoint – We took 5 mill, and then lost 3 fighters, 2 salvageable for 1.2 mill. Then one lost for 6,151,500. We salvage 2 of theirs for 2.8 mill. We find here at the JumpPoint stuff totaling 8 mill. Nov 9, 3030 – We arrive at their planet and they have here another Avenger and Leopard we blow through and then an Overlord of fighters flee. Then we cannot salvage them. Battle Loss at Planet – We took 10 mill. We lost 4 fighters, two can be salvaged for 1.6 mill and then the other two lost for 12,303,000. We can salvage 5 of theirs for 3.65 mill. We find here at the planet salvaging 11 mill. We land and then scout with our fighters. We unload at a DropPort around 3.5 hours away. Our goal is to smash them hard, make them think we are here, take everything and then blow this base up and then hurt their infrastructure. Here’s us as a reminder: Gamma Vee: Demolisher Manticore Zhukov Rommel Rhino Support Tank Schrek PPC Carrier Hunter AC2 Carrier Condor Hover Tank Falcon Goblin Harasser Missile Platform Not bad, but that AC2 Carrier sucks.

Light: Firestarter Javelin 2 Locust 1L 2 Stinger 2 Wasp 1L UrbanMech 60L Yay for their regular ability. They are on the south end on the base and then us on the north to flip things around a bit. Their Liao Urbie swaps the AC10 for an AC20 with just one ton of ammo, and then a S backup and then, 2/3/2 movement and then just 4 tons of armor. Pic:  See you soon!!! |
Set-up – We win 12-2. Ouch. Sorry. We set up at the bottom of the northern flank and then lesser things behind it. They set up on the south flank near an urban base, at the bottom most. We can see around a 3rd of their stuff.
Turn 1 - We lose the first round’s initiative much closer than we won set-up 10-7. We charge 5. They begin to scout our flanks with their non-Urbie lights and PXH too. Our two Javs. Spider and Jenner base their PXH on the left flank. Their Locust on the east flank bases our Harasser. We first 18 mechs at their Atlas and Awesome. Love to bring them both in. Only around 15 or so each can see them. They are around 5-8 hexes away. Nove’s Hunchback’s AC20 beheads their Atlas and our Javelin there destroys it’s RA and it’s RL. Dead mech and MechWarrior and we killed their CO too. That’ll annoy them all up and down the block. Our Awesome and Grasshopper in Unsprezece each destroy a leg in theirs. Then our Falcon Hover Tank it’s CT, dead mech. Ouch. Not salvageable. Melee! They kick and wound our Harasser – half movement. We drop but don’t leg the PXh. Turn 2 – We lose the 2nd round initiative even closer 7-6. We charge 5 where possible. Their PXH rises and we stay based with our three lights. We charge our Atlas just 3 to base their Zeus. Our BM does too, and then our Banshee too, but then they hop their Victor to one flank and then their QD to the rear. We base their QD with our Hunchback, Orion, and two Awesomes. We ejected the Harasser too. Their east flank fast stuff base my east flank Trebuchet hiding and camping. A Locust, Wasp and Stinger base it. I jump my Vulcan to base them back. We can see most of their stuff; Weapons fire!! I fire 12 each at their Victor, Charger and Stalker. Nove’s Awesome destroys their Victor’s LL, and then the Javelin hit the ammo, boom, dead mech!!!!!!! Unsprezece’s Charger’s AC20 hit the ammo on their Stalker’s RA, dead mech!! Their Dervish destroys our AC2 Carrier front. Then our Rommel and Demolisher double leg their Charger, and then it destroys the RT fall, RA on the ground. Melee! Our Banshee legs their Zeus’s RL. Our TBT and Vulcan leg their Locust’s 1L’s RL too. Our Awesome legs their QD’s LL this time. Our Javelin legs their PXH’s RL back again. Great!!! They drop and leg our TBT’s RL though. Turn 3 – We lose 8-7. They keep it up. I eject our TBT. We base their Merlin with our Atlas, Banshee and BM moving just 2 each. We base their Hunchback with our Orion and double Awesome. Their flankers base our rear. Their Catapult leaps back and cannot be based. We base their Warhammer with our 2 Archers, Warhammer and Hunch. Weapons fire!!! We fire 12 each at their Catapult, Thunderbolt and Archer!!! Our Awesome in Nove destroys their Archer’s ammo in the RT, boom, dead mech. We also destroyed it’s LL and LA. Our Vee Squad’s Awesome…er…Schrek hits the ammo in their TBolt’s LT. Boom! We also destroyed its H, and RT and RL. Unsprezece’s CRD hit and destroyed their Catapult’s RL – legged and we double arm it with our Grasshopper and Javelin. Legged!!! Melee! We keg their Merlin’s LL with our BM, and the RL of their Warhammer by ours! We double leg their Hunchback!! We’ve captured or legged or destroyed all of their Assaults, both CO and XO, and then taken out 6 of their mechs and legged another 9 mechs!!! We smashed them good, they flee to their Battalion holding Overlord and then to the JumpPoint we didn’t arrive in, we take them out in space. Can we salvage? We toss a 6, nope. We salvage here with their mechs and then DropShip – 14 mill Salvage: Archer 2L – H, RA, RL LT Awesome – H, RA, RT, LT Stalker – H, LA, LT, RL Thunderbolt – RA, LA, LL Victor – H, RA, RL I add this salvage all up and down the block!!

Us: Harasser – halved movement. AC2 Carrier – destroyed front. Can we salvage? I toss a 7 and nope. Trebuchet missing RL; current value – 3,693,500 - to fix 500k Battle Loss – We spend 500k for TBT leg and then the AC2 Carrier costs 1,086,400 Therefore 1,586,400 total. With us thumping them good and well, we get a communication from the government who think we are here to conquer and are surrendering to us. We communicate their surrender to the Andurien government and let them know we destroyed the entire garrison and no one is here and they agree. They will be rotating a newly hired merc unit called Carson’s Renegades to garrison the world until they send in regular folks and then we’ll hit our next Diversionary Raid. (In the real game, the Renegades smashed them hard but turned down their surrender offer.) END OF THE ALTORRA RAID!!! What we Captured: Avenger DropShip – Escort and Assault DropShip. Captured in CC system of Altorra in Andurien Crisis invasion. We name it “Black Knight an Avenger “ |
Beginning of the Fronde Raid:
Nov 28, 3030 – We arrive at the JumpPoint for our next raid with the same folks at the last one at the Fronde JumpPoint of their Zenith one. This is SUPPOSED to be another Diversionary Raid, to keep the CC guessing, but this time we have a political team in case this goes as well as well as the previous one. Here is another Invader Jumps with an Avenger, Leopard CV and then an empty slot for them to flee, ditto the Nadir JumpPoint. Our 22 fighters, and 4 Aquarius smash them up good and then destroy them both!! Can we salvage one? I toss a 3 and 11 so yes to the CV! We can get it running for 13 mill – spent!! 426,449,127 is our War Chest. Their Invader flees when we track it down. Battle Loss at the Jump Point – We take 3 mill. We lost just 2 fighters, one can be salvaged for 775k and then one lost for 5,410,530. We can salvage 2 of theirs for 2.05 mill. We find here at the JumpPoint 6 mill. Dec 04, 3030 – We arrive at the planet of Fronde and the ones from the Nadir one arrive plus the 6 fighters from an Overlord to give them 12 total. We take out everything but their Overlord and 4 fighters that head to the planet. Can we salvage one of these two? I toss a 7 and 3 – nope. Battle Loss at the Planet – We take 5 mill, lost 4 fighters and two salvageable for 1.6 mill and then two lost for 10,093,864. We can salvage 4 of their fighters for 4.25 mill. We find here with two destroyed Drops and more fighters and such stuff we can sell for 8 mill. Our fighters smash us down and clear out a landing site, and we have like 20 doing so and then escorting our battalion down and then scouting their HQ where their Overlord is. We unload and then head over to hit them hard. Here are our Fronde Foes!!! Assault: Atlas – veteran, CO – love it. BattleMaster 1 G – veteran XO – love it. Charger 1A5 – veteran – love it. Goliath - veteran Longbow 7Q – veteran love it Stalker 3H – veteran LRM 20 variant. Not bad. I’d like 5 of them!! Heavy: Cataphract 2X Catapult!!!

Weighs 65 tons, moves 4/6/4 they added jump jets, 12 heat sinks, same armor at a solid 12 tons, and then these weapons: 2 LRM10s, 2 SRM4s, 2 ML and 2 MG. I don’t like dropping their LRM 15s for JJ I’d rather they look at the MGs and such. Pic:  |
Set-up. We win strongly 8-4. I set up our stuff at the bottom row first of the top flank. They set up far away.
Turn 1 – We lost init 9-7. I charge 5. Our two Javs base their Wasp 1L coming down the left flank. They have tons of lights doing so. Our Vulcan and Wolverine base their Vulcan on the west flank. Their east Locust bases our Condor. Our Spider bases it back. Weapons fire! I split up 18 each on their BM and Atlas around 9 or 7 away each side by side +2 to be hit. Our Awesome 8T in Nove hit the ammo on their Atlas -boom in the LT, dead mech!!! We also destroyed the RA and LL. Our TDR in Unsprezece hit and savaged their BM’s CT, and hit the engine and gyro once each, and our Shrek legs it’s RL and RA destroyed by our Rhino. Melee! We drop their Locust, their Locust hurt our Condor and then We drop their Vulcan. They immobilize the Condor. Turn 2 – They keep init still close 7-5. I charge 5 where possible after ejecting our Condor. They eject their BM, it’s ours. Their Goliath steps into where we’d need 3 to base it with our Atlas, TBolt and BM and Banshee – done. Ditto their JagerMech to protect their Longbow they pull back. I base it with our two Archers and Awesomes. They rise their Wasp and Vulcan, and then we stay stuck on them with those same mechs. Their flankers base my stuff. Our CRD is based in the flank by a Vindicator I base with our TBT and Grasshopper and PXH. We are based in the Atlas’s flank by their Hermes II and next to our AC2 Carrier in the back a pair of Locusts. Weapons fire - I fire 12 each at their Longbow, Stalker and then Charger too. Our TBolt in Unsprezece beheads their Stalker!!! We also destroy its LL, and LA too. Nove’s Archer 2S hit the ammo in their Longbow’s RT, and then we took out both arms too. Our Vee Demolisher hit and took out their Chargers RT, and then we pepper those H a bit and it blacks out from the fall with 4 damage. We also took out the LA and LT. Melee? Our Banshee legs their Goliath it’s FRL is down. It falls, hits the leg again, travels up and then booms the RT and then lights up. We lose the AC2 Carrier again, this time the front. Our Awesome leg’s the RL of their good JagerMech. Our Jav legs their Wasp and our Wolverine their Vulcan!!! We drop their Vindicator. Turn 3 – They keep init, and blow us out 10-3. Their BJ a sac play to jump in front of their Rifleman. I base it with our Orion, Atlas and Banshee and BM. They hop their Catapult away! But their Hopper jumps next to my Atlas’s rear. I base it with our two Awesomes and Archers that just legged their JM and then a PXH too. Their lights left base our rear units like our TBT on their Vindicator that rose and then rear flanks in our mechs. We charge their Orion with my Crusader. Weapons fire! I fire 12 each at their Orion, Catapult and then Cataphract 2X. Gamma Vee’s Rhino hit their Cataphract’s RA done, and then our Goblin its RT ammo hit – dead mech!!! Also, it’s RL gone. Our Thunderbolt hit the ammo in their Catapult LT. Boom, dead mech, 4th kill for her!! We took out everything but the H and LL. Nove’s Hunchback destroyed their Orion’s RA with it’s AC20, and then it’s LA by our Archer. It falls, no legs. They drop our Atlas. Melee!!! Our BM legs their BJ’s RL!! It kicks our downed Atlas, and then takes out the damaged and internal RA. Our TBT legs their Vindicator!! Our CRD hit the downed Orion’s RT gone, still legs though. With us taking out 5 mechs with booms and a H shot 6th one, and then legging 7 more, we’ve taking out a full company in three rounds, they eject and then flee. At first they flee and then try to slip away into the area and such nearby as lances, but we have too many fighters, so they head to their Overlord and load up. They head to the other JumpPoint with an Invader waiting. We take them out in space with my two Achilles and tons of fighters. We DO toss a 10 and salvage it!!! It’ll cost 12 mill, spent!!!! Our War chest is 427,449,127. We salvage at the planet with the various mechs destroyed 5 mill.

We arrive and then battle begins!!! Here they are: Awesome!!! – veteran, XO BattleMaster 1G!!! – veteran CO Cataphract 1X – break away has Liao units. Marauder 3L Warhammer 6L Hatchetman Hunchback Trebuchet Vindicator Spider!!!! UrbanMech 60L Wasp 1L I want that Spider plus the BM and Awesome too. This is our and their Spider in both units. It weight 30 tons, rocks 2 ML not in the arms so it can punch and lose them and keep on trucking, and then jump the max move on a mech in the 3025 era with 8/12/8 movement and 10 heat sinks and not great armor. Just half of the armor you could add at 3 tons. Just keep them from getting kicked or always move their max to make them rough to answer. Pic:  They are regular and then in the middle of the map with us in the south flank again. They are on the Desert Runway map.  Enjoy!!! |
