This is a placeholder post for now, details to follow.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Apollyon, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Racing to break the Lyran spearhead, the Hellion navy bursts through the Twycross corridor and arrives at The Lair just as the Falcons' WarShips catch up. With tens of thousands of civilians onboard the all-too-fragile space station, the Hellions must turn the tide in order to save their people.

Meanwhile, throughout the systems still under Hellion control, the Falcons descend once again in search of their prey. The only hope for continued, organized resistance is the victory of their fleet at The Lair, making it a crucial turning point in the theatre...


Scenario: naval stars clash for control of The Lair.

113 FP



If time permits I would prefer this be played out in MegaMek, but simple rez will work fine too.

Scoring is fairly straightforward - if the Jade Falcons win, they will destroy The Lair and severely disrupt the Hellions' already-shaken supply lines. If the Hellions are triumphant, they will be able to stall the Falcon advance at least until the beginning of November.

Scenario Outcome: Clan Ice Hellion Victory

Against the odds, the Hellions held out against the superior Jade Falcon WarShips. Ikazuchi and Rising Star were both lost near the end of the battle, but the entire Jade Falcon star was badly damaged, and the arrival of Hellion reinforcements at the start of November forced the invaders to withdraw from the system - at least temporarily.

With Hellion supply lines intact, the remaining worlds in the Machida-Morges corridor were able to hold off the Falcon invaders, bogging down those worlds into a series of deadly quamires. The eventual loss of Alyina and Morges were sorely felt, however, and as the month of October drew to a close there was a sense that the days ahead would only be getting more dificult.
