[RP/MM]C43 CIH vs. WiE Kowloon 1315 ToP [complete]

[Daemonknight]

Star Admiral Folkner turns to look at the CIH warrior standing next to him in his grounded dropship.

"Well Star Colonel, what forces do you have availible for this Trial? I have only the aerospace fighters attatched to my warships."


((OOC: CJF ASF forces count to 21.75FP. CJF will defer to  CIH to take Op command if they commit their ground forces.))

[Marlin]

"Our token force is (1FP) a Trinary of my best Warriors, combined Arms. All born in the Inner Sphere, like me. We would move in, provided your Aerospace can cover us. I expected a fair Trial after all and the Death of Adrian move was considered more important. Had I known that we have a dishonorable foe before us, I would have brought my whole Cluster."

[Daemonknight]

"Verywell then. My fighters will cover you, in whatever numbers are required. I will allow you the honor of taking part in the batchall. Use my fighters are you see fit."

[Marlin]

"While I am honored to hear that from you, as Star Admiral and Commander of the biggest force, you better do the batchall. After all I heard here from the Wolves and their protectors, I would take all of your force and mine and march on the target, taking down all in our way. If you indeed want that, I will prepare my forces. If you can think of a more Clan like solution, I would like to hear of it. I think I lack the profound knowledge of yours, as I am of Inner Sphere background and not grown up with the Trial System. What say you, Star Admiral?"

Regardless, she ordered her unit to prepare for the fight.

[Daemonknight]

"Major Voronwë Sharondalan, we bid 1 trinary of Ice Hellion ground forces, and 4 Trinaries of Jade Falcon aerospace fighters."

((OOC: 1 FP ground, 21.75 FP aero))

[Marlin]

Sara grinned at the Star Admiral, nodded and went off to prepare for the battle. 'It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.'

Once in her Flashman, she checked her systems one more time and spoke: "Star Admiral, at your sign. Let your Warriors fly over the field of Battle." To her own Warriors, she knew every one by their names, down to the last Infantryman, who sat in a Bandit already: "Listen up, Volunteers, now we prove the wisdom to accept us as Warriors into the Clan Ice Hellion. We will let loose a storm and destroy those pretenders. Watch out to not get under fire by the birds, they will have to do most of the work. We will clean up behind them. And do not let those Wolf Pups escape! I am your Star Colonel. Make me proud."

[NVA]

OKay, need data from GMs, as I do not know of anywhere near this much force.

[Daemonknight]

((fyi, if u have something, just tell me. Falcons plan to match 1:1, i just have no idea whats here))

[NVA]

I can respond from the Wolf forces, but, need to figure out what Niops may have here.

[Dave Baughman]

SLDF will match your bid with 10.75 FP of ground forces (most will engage in ground-to-air battle) from the 1st and 2nd Niops Expeditionary Forces and 303rd Wolf Minuteman Cluster, plus Delta Patrol Star Charlie (assault dropships and fighters equalling 10.50 FP) and elements of Delta Patrol Star Alpha (aerospace fighters equalling 1.5 FP)

22.75 FP total.


SLDF simple resolution roll
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 3, 4, total 7[/blockquote]

[Daemonknight]

Clan combat roll:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 3, total 4[/blockquote]

[Dave Baughman]

Looks like SLDF inflicts 40% of their FP (9.0 FP) and the Clans inflict 20% (4.5 FP).

SLDF wins the trial.

I presume Clan honor was upheld by the Falcon/Hellion force, in which case Salvage is 50% (6.75 FP)


Any after-action shenanigans, or does the SLDF leave in peace?

[Daemonknight]

Its Falcons/Hellions, and the Falcons will grudgingly allow the Wolves to leave unmolested.

[Cannonshop]

someone needs to mark this "Complete".

[Marlin]

Will do.

IC: Sara took her battered Mech back to her bay. The enemy had tried to hammer her small ground force up front, which they could barely avoid, in order to prevent precise ground strikes by the Falcons and to pick them apart coordinatedly.

It had worked, she had to admit. Would that be her first negative entry for her Codex? But who would think of this treachery by the Wolves?

No, she had nothing to be ashamed of. The last thing that had to be done was to get clear for the Factory.

Her Radio was not working anymore, so she had to move to another Mech.

"Star Admiral Folkner, we need to clear the issue of possession for the abandoned Factory. I am issuing a Trial of Possession for the Factory herewith. With what will you defend against my claim?"
