Huge occupation capable army and navy in this hex.
Since the Regulan's are leading the rabble rousing I am assuming there will be something for me to fight here correct?
I'll handle this tonight from the hotel. In one of my 'inspired' writing moods.
Start us off Chaos: your navy encounters zero resistance, not even system defense ships. There arnt even armed merchants. Your CO orders extreme caution on the drop but there is no militant presence. It's too quiet(tm).
OOC: For me that would mean alcohol but whatever.
"Have the Regulan Defense Fleet move into position. Then the mercenaries are go for drop on the capital. If the Countess of Harmony want's to have another go then by the most high we shall give it to her! We have been waiting to put an end to this for two months and the crazy bint goes and assassinates the Captain-General!"
This is Militia Actual, we are going in the first wave as well.
Copy Militia actual that is unnecc---
This is the Free Worlds League Admiral not the Terran Hegemony we may use merc's but we don't let them fight our war's for us."
This is Perceival Actual. We are going in with Militia Actual.

Hospice and Galahad, aswell as the 9th Fleet are getting intermitent radar and magnetic contacts on their ultra-long range sensors(ie 1 AU+ beyond the planet Regulus). Your fleet elements closer to the planet do not have any signals contacts(either these are sensor shadows, or the proximity of the planet is rendering their sensors blind, the captains and sensor techs are leaning towards the former, but not ruling anything out).
So that I am clear, is the entire ground forces contingent heading down to the surface? It doesn't impact what they find, i just want to be sure.
Your ground forces encounter almost none of the populace. Despite it being a nominal workday, there is almost zero foot traffic, and the vehicular traffic looks normal at first but a closer looks yields that traffick is indeed reduced, but the fact was being hidden from cursory veiw. No delegations, customs officers or military forces greet any of your troops as they touch down. Infact, except for the starport staff who are refueling your dropships, and cargo teamsters, there is little in the way of humanity within eyesight.
The indig's want to what?
I don't care what the Knight's think any indig approach's one of our grounded dropship's you shoot him and the poor sonofabitch next to him.
Since the Knights are so damn set on making sure the indig's get treated fair their third Battalion can take over responsibility for the Space Port and can guard the "Teamster's, and dropport personnel while the S.A.F.E. Team handles 'debrief'(interrogation).
GDL Infantry Brigade is a battle armor formation. I want them to secure the Regulan Capital secured, buildings the palace, the whole deal. Begin at the palace and the main Hussar's barracks whatever is left of both after our bombardment. They can have the Tabar's Fighter Squadron for overflight and scouting to make sure no Regulan Force sneaks up on them.
Any Dropship's not touched by the "refuler's I want their compliment from the 1st Marik and 1st and 2nd Bat of the Knights Sub Orbital ASAP. The Regulan's ain't in the capital, which mean's their making their stand elsewhere on planet and a sub-orbital drop is the best move once we locate them."
"I want the rest of the 1st Marik, 1st and 2nd Bat up as soon as possible, along with the rest of the GDL as soon as we vet the Dropship's that some idiot let the indig's touch the Infantry brigade can handle capital occupation and sifting through the wreckage of the Palace and Barracks"
Rubinskys Aero Brigade, 23rd Independent Air Wing, and San Ashelm you are on reconnaissance refueling off the Chakra and Shakli. Flying in Squadron level grouping's I want every population center, military depot, and industry on Regulus overflown, scanned and photographed. The Regulan Hussar's and their bitch Countess are somewhere and I want them. The families of those who died on Atreus want them, and most importantly the new Captain-General want's them.
"Commodore Belhaven I want you to take the Lancelot and investigate those signal's. Jump in active scan and jump back. Any issue's and I expect an HPG transmission."
"Ready Fighter's and Bar Cap's out people, the Regulan's are presenting us some form of elaborate trap and I aim to make sure it close's on them instead.
"Hospice I want you ready to jump away at the first sign of danger. Your built for recovery not war."
"Alright people everyone has a job. Move like you have a purpose.

Sonja Cameron-Jones was very calmly looking at the sensor readouts in her command bunker. This complex had taken the better part 2 decades to build, in absolute secrecy even from her husband, and most definitely from anyone loyal to the Captain-General. She had hopped for more of the Knights to be present, but if all she had was a single battalion plus the GDL infantry, so be it.
"Colonel, launch the intercept group, no need to make their warship gunner's lives any easier." And officer nodded with a smirk and walked over to a radio to inform launch command. "General Iyengar, prepare the batteries for firing. Those warships of theirs will doubtless be coming down on us as soon as they detect our aerospace fighters and the guns. I presume our 'present' for those ground forces is prepared?"
"Yes m'lady. All is in readiness." Sonja smiled.
"Excellent General. Fire when ready."
****************************
**For the purposes of this scenario, while the rules techniclly don't allow for advanced positioning of forces, we're going to be playing along. If naval units are moving around in-system, we will be respecting that.**
The sensors on the orbital fleet group suddenly start blaring as 4 massive heat blooms are detected on the surface in a mountainous regions 30km from the capital. Moments latter, the NBC alarms start bleeping with the detection of nuclear warheads, immediately identified as Peacekeepers, matching the profile of anti-orbital missiles. Your fighters are unable to intercept the missiles as they streak to your orbiting fleet. They do however, catch a glimpse of what seems to be artillery fire from a nearby peak, however there are only a handful of muzzle flashes. They try to get closer, but their sensors detect fighters being launched from a hidden launch pad, also nearby in the mountains.
4 Nuclear tokens are used vs the warships in orbit

the Luxor reduces the launch silos to scrap, but it is assumed that was the whole battery, as no secondary explosions are seen, though it does glow a nice white color on the IR sensors for a few hours. Without having precise coordinates for the tube arty, they launch a few salvos around, but again, little effect is seen.

Regulan ASF forces break away from the FWL, drop to the deck and kick in their afterburners. They are heading south and away from the mountain range.
The Lancelot and it's battlegroup are getting clearer signal returns now. It seems there is indeed something out beyond Regulus' orbit, though you are still having trouble pinning it down. Whatever it is, it's hiding in a cloud of dense ferrous asteroids, making magnetics and radar of limited value. If the Lancelot wanted to actually see what was there, it would be out of range for the rest of your fleet elements for 2-3 combat rounds(2 for anything in Regulus Orbit, 3 for anything on Interdiction/Blockade).
Your warships in orbit are still reeling from the nuclear attack, even while the Luxor's captains empties a few more salvos into the now dead launch silos for good measure. SAR operations are ongoing, but the flight path of the retreating Regulan fighters means they'll have trouble tracking them effectively(ie you'll lose them if your recon birds don't give chase. Win another initiative check and you can either engage & destroy, or follow them and find their base).
The KotIS battalion survivors begin moving out of habitable areas, their chasis seals holding despite the persistent clouds of lethal nerve agents. If they are going sniffing around the mountain range for the base, they'll need 2 initiative checks: 10km and 3km(obviously, they don't know those distances, or the reference points).
Lancelot is ordered to detach it's Assault Dropship's to form a continuous chain for communication. If significant enemy force is encountered it will jump back to the Regulan Pirate point immediately abandoning its assault Dropship's which will burn for the Nadir Jump Point.
3rd Battalion Knights of the Inner Sphere will undertake Reconnaisance sticking to foliage as much as possible, passive sensor's on the approach to ascertain the source of the signal's. Once enemy is sighted and confirmed the GDL and bulk of the Knight's will reinforce them via combat drop. Closing to within 3KM distance.

At 10km, the 3rd Battalion gets a very brief visual of a light tank + BA column running in the foothills. Cleverly using terrain, and deciding to get further before engaging enemy forces, the battallion goes hull down and avoids the patrol. They are confident they were not spotted, but do not risk broadcasting a report to their support fleet.
At 3km, they are entering the mountain range proper, atleast the outlyers. They catch a glimpse of another patrol, but this one is almost entirely battle armor. They have also seen a number of entrenchments that are essentially invisible from the air, thanks to extensive overhead protection. Its unlikely even aerospace fighters flying nape of the earth could've spotted them.
Luck was not with them however, as when they turned a corner, they came within 250m of a lance of medium Regulan mechs. Despite quickly slaughtering the rebels, the battalion is positive they've sounded an alarm, and request immediate support from the fleet.
Reguluan Initiative(if the FWL wins, they can try to drop their ground forces, or OrBomb the location. Proximity says that if they launch the OrBomb, they'll hit their own troops aswell as the entrenchments)

FWLS Lancelot nears the asteroid cluster. Before it can get too close, it's sensors pick up solid radar contacts finally. A cloud of fighters and dropships comes streaking out from the asteroid cluster. Initiative check

FWL can engage or retreat. There is a host of small contacts coming for the Lancelot, aswell as one bigger contact that cannot yet be identified. It is almost surely a warship.
Lancelot will go in. HPG transmission toward's the rest of the fleet made before engagement."
Would prefer to Mega Aero the Lancelot's battle.
"Commdore reading a large contact with the fighter and dropship contact's should we return to the fleet?"
"... No we are going in 9th Fleet needs to know what the Regulan's are up to out here. The Eagle Class is a dedicated dropship killer and our own assault dropship's can handle the fighters. We need to know what that large contact is. If it is a corvette we will handle it ourselve's. If it's bigger we will draw it toward's the rest of the 9th and let them finish it off."
Regulan force consists of the following:
Cameron(Clan) Elite/Fanatical - 11.5 FP
Independant Wing Elite/Fanatical - 23.25 FP
Your computers cannot identify the Cameron, meaning it is likely a fresh hull. There are no serial numbers or other distinguishing marks to try and place it's location of manufacture, or even guess at it's nation of origin. The fighters coming at you are almost entirely Spectral-series, with a healthy(or unhealthy, depending on your positon) dose of heavy Clantech designs. There are a number of Interdictor PWS, aswell as several fighter carriers, including 2 Vengeance-class.
Chaos indicated he wanted MA, so here is the itemized list of what the 'Regulans' are packing:
Cameron(Clan) - Elite
3x Interdictor PWS
Interdictor SC
Mule Q-Ship
2x Vengeance(Upgrade)
Leopard CV(Upgrade)
Elephant Model 96
5 Heavy Fighter Groups(6 fighters/group)
3 Medium Fighter Groups
1 Light Fighter Group
There are also 2 Battle Taxis in the formation, and 3 FP of Marines with the formation.
Also note, that the force of fighters/droppers coming your way, is only about half the their total strength. The other half is hanging back near the asteroid cloud.
And everything is covered in grey paint
While that gets handled via MA, let's get to the ground game, shall we?
Please post FWL forces that're engaging the fortifications.
Regulan Rebel Battlemech Regiment Alpha - R/F 35 FP
Regulan Rebel Auxiliary Brigade Alpha - R/F 15 FP
Regulan Rebel Battlemech Regiment Beta - R/F 35 FP

**note that you have no information on the 'Regulan Nuke Fortress'. The 1st line, was above ground defenses; Calliope Turrets, SAM batteries, artillery redoubts that sort of thing. You mostly destroyed these defenses in the ground battle. Leaving leaves you unable to pin down the primary facility.**
OOC: I just got nuked.
How do I have no information when I just got nuked, in the mega mek game.
Dave gave Cannon special secret instructions which seemed to include nuke's. I know this because I was hit with them. ;-)
I think what DK is trying to say is that while your orbital strikes are eradicating the surface fortresses, there may still be (and in fact are) additional forces dug in deeper that orbital strikes alone won't be sufficient to root out unless you decide to go all War of Reaving and crack the mantle or something.
OOC: Oh ok. So can I cancel the leaving or should I wait until next turn.
To be honest they weren't on site to be at risk for the Orbital bombardment gone wrong so I think I should have to wait for the new OP round. (Bad for me but fair in general).
But I am willing to be talked out of it.
:-)
Well since I wasn't present for the game, nor aware that nuke had been utilized, you'll have to excuse my original post.
My original idea for the scenario was simply the FWLM had walked into a heavily fortified FOB. Dave added nukes, so I will run with it.
The nukes that hit you were launched via tube arty, in a fortified firebase deeper into the mountain range.
As to your issued orders, if you wish to cancel the withdraw orders, your forces will be at risk of friendly fire in the event you OrBomb the Regulan firebase
Risking Orbital bombardment and Regulan retaliation is the nature of the beast.
Withdraw orders rescinded lets do this YEAH.
;D
So do the Rebel's scatter?
Remaining Naval Battle in this thread being played out right now.
Awaiting response on Rebel scatter for ground combat. *Orbital bombardment rolls are up thread*

The explosion that destroyed the
Cameron was particularly intense. You suspect the ship's crew may have scuttled her...
By my count, we are at the end of Op Round 3. Chaos, can you please PM me your general plan for the rest of the turn? Am I correct in assuming that you will be trying to root out the rebels using ground patrols and then pull back and slagging any strongpoints from orbit as you discover them?
Yep. Using Aero wing's as needed. for over flight's after slagging occurs.
(for reference, I'm using the Castle Brian rules from the pre-timejump Hesperus invasion. They will be formally added to the rules next turn and can be found in the Turn 5 patch thread).
FWL will attempt to penetrate into the deep fortifications three times (once in each of the remaining rounds).

Rebels take 5% losses in Op Round 4, 10% in Op Round 5, and 5% in Op Round 6. The total remaining number is unknown.
The FWL ground forces, after damage control, started op round 4 with 72.25 FP
FWL ground forces take 5% damage in Op Round 4, reducing them to 68.50 FP. They regained 0.50 FP from damage control, taking them up to 69.00 FP

FWL ground forces take 10% damage in Op Round 6, reducing them to 59.25 FP. They get back 0.75 FP from damage control and end the turn with 60.00 FP
At the end of Turn 4, Regulus remains contested.
