Several Hexes are hit by Recon Raids:
Mississauga
New Exford
Jesenice
Kwanchowwang
Mahone
Santana
Are these units that have failed their pirate insertion rolls and need a response, or...?
They did not roll yet, but I will do so shortly.
Which means right now:
Mississauga
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 2, total 3[/blockquote]
New Exford
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 6, 1, total 7[/blockquote]
Jesenice
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 4, total 5[/blockquote]
Kwanchowwang
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 5, 1, total 6[/blockquote]
Mahone
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 3, 4, total 7[/blockquote]
Santana
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 2, 3, total 5[/blockquote]

Oh man.. some really only can use brute force. :P
Any reaction by the defenders?
Star Commander Hilda shook her head in disbelief. The other Union was gone! The Star Captain, gone!! This endeavour was doomed. No way the Lyrans would not register this. And this over this cursed world!
"Damage report!" she barked. They were lucky to live, that was obvious. And perhaps they could even jump away from this terrible dirtball, cursed by those dishonorable Drac scum that had killed her friend Cass, herself a Star Commander.
OP: Will there anywhere be aero forces to attack? If not, I might think of landing, actually..

No reaction from the defenders at any hex.
OOC: If you don't chase him off, he gets the intel despite the misjump. Unless the rules have changed of course ;)
Without an Interdicing force, units land and Raid Defense rolls are run by the Defender.
Ah. Cool. Thanks Fate. :)
So, Chanman, thats now your part or whoever else is LYran.
How about YOU! Yes, I mean you, Cannonshop. ;)
Anyway, thats a good chance for MM of my preferred size, so, I would like it.
Jessenice is a mess when you (and the Adders) arrive-they were hit by a sizeable bandit force sometime a week prior-and the bandits left one hell of a mess, Assuming the CIH troops land, they find lots of dead local militia and Kowloonese relief workers (armed), scattered in ruined cities, and evidence of a large, 'mech armed bandit force that had done...things to the ones out in the open (both locals and relief personnel). Horrible things.
A careful sweep finds a single disaster-bunker that had managed to remain unbreached, covered in a pile of bodies and rubble. Within the bunker, terrorized and terrified civilians, mostly women and children.
Unlike the other, broken-open raid shelters, these had survived because of a faulty beacon, one that had failed to activate, and the efforts of the dead men outside. The arrival of the Clan forces had clearly interrupted the attackers and frightened them off, but there are no living defenders to find.
some of the corpses on the ground, were partially eaten-knawed on by what appear to be human teeth...
If the other worlds do not contain anything like that.. horrible, I would need your rolls (or descriptions if applicable). Jesenice is thus complete for my part. I even wrote a bit of RP. :)
Mississauga: 0.75 FP
New Exford: 1.5 FP
Jesenice: 1.5 FP
Kwanchowwang: 1.5 FP
Mahone: 2 FP
Santana: 2 FP
For you to determine the strength of the defenders.
Jesenice I say would count as done? Or would I still have to deal with Militia?

No live ones. I suppose the Hellions might dig and poke around a bit to figure out what the hell happened, maybe try to interview survivors or dig up data on what hit the planet, how big and who smashed what little defense was there, and, y'know, all that strategic-recon shit..I don't see a Hellion RECONAISSANCE force NOT trying to figure out why it was that their recon raid hit AFTER someone else (Someone NOT Clan) came in, tore the place up, killed the defenders and a chunk of hte population, dropped rocks on some areas, and generally fucked shit up, then left. Whoever did this may be a threat, or may need a Clan-style "Spanking" for the kind of horror and waste your ground teams found.
We are speaking just of Jesenice? Were there not any media broadcasts? Actuall, yes, I guess they would try to dig up easily accessible data, but they wont hang around so much.
Would you roll for the other planets the defense rolls then?

Still data-digging and trying to figure out how the mechanical side of this game works, if Chanman doesn't handle it, I'll give it a shot. (Gotta learn sometime...)
OP: Alright. There might be another invasion coming up, so.. I dont ask out of spite.

I don't take it as spite, it's a relevant question. In my time with/in the FGC/FC games on the other board, I've been a "Roleplay" player mostly, now I've actually got to deal with mechanics, so I beg your forebearance as I blunder along-with Chanman going to GM on the other site, and no other Lyrans about, I'm suddenly in the position of trying to learn the management side of the
mechanics as well as cooking up good RP material/storyline goodies to keep people interested and maybe draw in additionals, ('cause, you know, it's more fun that way).
The bit on Jessenice was a matter of me-going-to-the-staff with an
idea, and them saying "Sure, just don't monkey the mechanics in a way that pisses people off or we stomp you."
That said, I really do NOT know who hit Jessenice, or why, but I know what happened to the Lyrans there before your recon force arrived, and since they arrived before there was a call for relief, they get to see it before the Lyrans out-system know more than a dim rumour of a possible bandit-raid.
(i.e. the Lyrans don't know how bad it was, or who did it, or why, or what they were after...) Which, in turn, means that YOUR faction (as they have the guys on the ground) have a very good chance of being the people with the most complete picture of what happened, who did it, and what they were after...
Provided, that is, they actually look for it. Gives the Hellions (or the Adders) a pretty interesting bit of leverage, possibly, hopefully leading to something cool and neat and shiny for those of us with factions nearby/in the area to play with.
AS for the rest, I've got 'bookwork' to do figuring out what's where, how much, whether it CAN respond, and in what fashion, if any, they are able to react...followed by figuring out how to handle it when I don't have Megamek working yet...
OP: OK. I know the bookkeeping is the most painful of this game. And I have a small faction.
Basically, you have to check what units are at those planet (Not Jesenice anymore) roll where there is more than Militia and voilá, we have a raid going on. BTW, Holt should look in here too, as Mississauga was his atrocity. (Ryuken-roku) And I want that force dead.
Recon Info: Mahone
There are no Lyran Regular forces present, nor Mercenaries, nor forces with much in the way of capital equipment. What is present, is what the Commonwealth could afford to leave in a behind-the-lines position on a world that has suffered significant damage due to the Arluna Flu outbreak of 3067.
Company "E", Kowloon Coast Guard Marines and the 143rd Field Hospital Detachment.
Radio traffic intercepts indicate the Marines are armpit deep fighting a massive forest and grassfire that threatens to engulf much of the inhabited arable land of the primary landmass-a wildfire started because of an un-tended refinery and a pyromaniac mixed with an unusually dry spring and summer following an equally dry winter season.
Reference Info: Mahone, Arluna Flu damage-millions died on this world, and the planetary government collapsed. Mahone was briefly administered by the Star League, but that force departed several months ago, leaving behind only a relief contingent to assist a provisional government that is underfunded and dealing with massive public health fallout, including feral animal packs, polluted city water supplies, and a crashed local economy that has yet to recover. These problems have been exacerbated, according to media reports, by the diversion of National Resources to the losing war on the Clan front-which has effectively stripped away most of the people the Kowloonese advisors were training to take over, as well as devouring much of the planet's prior military capacity, and preventing reinforcement or relief. Company E has been on-site since January of 3068, recieving a bare trickle of supplies and personnel replacements from their homeworld at (apparently) great expense.
Evening news programmes indicate that casualty figures from the fire-including both volunteer firefighters and the offworlders, are running fairly high.
Hilda had finished work on the connector with strong assistance of her Tech, of course. In Fact, he did most of the critical work to get the ship undock and dock again later. However, she helped. With the loss of the Mission Commander, she had appointed herself. The few Warriors left were now under her command. And after this catastrophe, at least no fighters showed up to blow them outta the sky, she was desperate enough to try the landing. The Jumper Crew worked hard on the recharge and would be ready at least when they would return from the planet..
OOC: I guess all other planets are empty now. What happens to planets having Clanners as guests?
I know of some instances where the people revolted. :P
Time to start the invasion thread, I guess.
New Exford:
No major commonwealth force present. (1FP Militia)
All thats left is Santana. What is there?

Going through the order sheet, I find nothing of note in, on, or around Santana that belongs to the LCAF at the moment. 1FP militia.
Thanks. I will close this thread then.
