"Star Colonel Carns! You face today the 68th Striker Cluster! Our blood was shed on many worlds in the claiming of  lands, so much so that half my Cluster is born from the blood of valorous warriors that went before them! Al Hillah is no different! We are prepared to meet you on this burning and desolate rock because, it is OUR burning and desolate rock, and we shall prove that why that blood is worth birthing the sibkos of the future! I bid two binaries in defense of our supplies!"

The battle raged on as the two combatants were deeply entrenched, as the head of the day pounded on the battlefield, the mechs on both sides became more sluggish as the heat from battle and fatigue took their toll. Despite having a strong initial push the Wolves still holding their own, being outnumbered at the onset started to take it's toll. The momentum faded enough for the Star Captain to act to reserve what was left of his command bid. "The Bears have proven they are prepared to defend this cave. I request Hegira for myself and my men."

CW: 17 * .25 = 4
RD: 22 * .2 = 4

CW: 17-4 = 13 (76%)
RD: 22-4 = 18 (82%)

Victory Points
Match is a Draw
CW: 2
RD: 2

While still close, attrition on the wolves is taking it's toll and the Wolves did what they came to do. RD grants Hegira.
