Dompaire is attacked, invaded and blockaded.
Blockading force: ca: 88,75 FP.
Edited: Hex number was incorrect.
Dompaire appears to be Hex 2214, unless you're actually attacking the Falcons on Baker 3, that is
Whaaaa! You are correct. I will correct it in the title. 2214 it is.
Thanks.
*bump* Now Chanman. Unveil your terrible force.
Defenders are on world and do not contest the blockade.
So I assume no Naval Assets here.
"Move in. They are already cowering before us."
Silentwarrior, I still need your contingent's ground strength.
Theta Galaxy 66,25 ground, 19,75 aero
The Invasion force is about 227,88. Pending clarification by Silentwarrior, it may be more.
Mixed Aero and Ground.
It is not more.
The screens were lit up like a Christmas tree. Colonel Singh chomped on his cigar. "We can't meet them at those odds. Everybody mount up, we're going to ground. Blow anything we can't take with us, including the 252nd's fighters. Let's get moving people, they'll be here in just a few days!"
OOC: 252nd Lyran Independent Aerospace Regiment scuttles their fighters. Blowing live ordnance up while parked oughta do the trick. (7.5 FP Aero destroyed)
The 6th Tamar Cavaliers Battlemech brigade (11.5 FP mechs) goes to ground. Rules state that the max force is 10 FP, so they presumably blow 1.5 FP of the slowest or least combat-worthy machines.
((OOC: i was just reading the rules about going to ground. From the way i am reading it, it says a 'defeated' force can goto ground once it is brought below 10FP, and loses 1d6FP in the scramble to disperse. It doesnt say you can voluntarily ditch your own forces to get to 10 and then escape with said 10FP.
Copied from page 16, FGC Rules v2-2-1(got them off the Final Rules thread from CBT):
Guerilla Warfare – defeated forces may "go to ground", preventing the attacker from
securing complete victory. Large formations are impossible to hide, thus only when a
defender reaches 10FP of ground troops or less may he use this option. A roll of 1D6 is
used to determine the number of FP lost in the scramble. Forces gone to ground must
roll on the gurilla losses chart once per cycle, until relieved or destroyed. Garrison forces
may locate guerilla troops if they succeed on a 10+ roll on 2D6, following the Dice
Rolling rules Additionally, Guerilla forces may combine with any attacker starting an
assault any future cycle.
Since combat hasent actually taken place yet, can they be considered defeated and be eligable for this special circumstance? Or am i just reading the rules to literally...
Unfortunately, you have to face one round of combat before going to ground.
Right then, the 6th Tamar and 252nd Aero sally forth.
11.5 FP ground
7.5 FP aero
The combined might of the Jade Falcon fleet above Dompaire descended to the surface, ready to claim it in the name of their Clan, determined to win this world, and deny the Wolves the honor of controlling it.
Ground Forces: 118.88 FP
Aeros Forces: 50.25FP
"Attention, Lyran Commanding Officer, this is Khan Allison Sonoma of Clan Jade Falcon. Your forces are horrendously outnumbered, both on the ground and in the air. There is no reason your command needs to be destroyed. Surrender yourselves, unconditionally, to the Clan, and you will enter Clan society as Bondsmen. If you prove your worth, you may even return to combat duty someday. There is no dishonor in surrendering to such a numericlly superior force, Commander."
Newly risen Khan, Allison Sonoma was hoping for a surrender. If she was able to quickly capture a clutch of planets from the Sphere, it would solidify her position. She knew that if the Sphereoid commander would submit without a fight, she could quickly turn and loose her forces against the nearby planets, winning the respect of her fellow warriors, and proving she was the right choice afterall.
"What say you, Lyran Commander? Will you surrender and allow your warriors to live as honorable Clansmen, or will you die on this world, having accomplished nothing?"
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. Crudelius est quam mori semper timere mortem. "
It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. It is crueller to be always afraid of dying than to die.
Khan Allison Sonoma nodded to herself.
"Very well Commander."

One inch. Reach. Pull. Another inch. Reach. Pull. Colonel Singh dragged himself out of the ruined cockpit of his Battlemaster, his field of vision blurry with tears and acrid smoke. The greasy smears of burning war machines blotted out the horizon as he surveyed the remains of the last 6th Tamar Cavaliers.
"Et in perpetuum, frater, ave et vale." And into eternity, brother, hail and farewell. Singh wheezed from ruined lungs. He slowly pulled a grenade from his vest and pulled the pin. Swallowed it. As darkness crept into his field of vision, he rolled the grenade beneath him, using his body's mass to keep the safety lever locked as one last surprise. For Tamar!

Khan Allison Sonoma was reviewing reports in a modular habitat that was serving as her temporary HQ untill they had swept the former Lyran compound for any more suprises. 2 Medtechs had been killed trying to identify the body of Colonel Singh, his having apparently swallowed an explosive device to booby trap his own body. Such a waste. Too bad, as the Khan had thought him honorable for facing such odds on principal. The salvageable material on the battlefield had allowed the majority of her forces to walk away relativly unscathed, although the aerospace forces had lost a handfull of Omnifighters that were simply too far gone to do anything about.
She winced as a technician droped a heavy com unit. She was preparing to adress the Grand Council, via the orbiting fleet, and had ordered a hardline to the landed dropships, instead of risking the Lyran military compound untill she was satisfied it was clear. She had to make this a quick appearance, as her Galaxy Commanders and Star Colonels were coming in 2 hours to discuss the next stage of their campaign in the Inner Sphere.
What zealots, Star Commodore Raphael thought. The fighters of his had been assigned rearguard for this battle and the Wolf and Falcon fighter-groups had made quick work of the Lyrans. However, once on the ground there were instances of booby trapped casualties. More likely of the Terrans, he thought.
Anyway, it was a victory. He just would have hoped he could have fight again and with his Clan.
OOC - Great work handling this without GM intervention guys, I am very impressed.
