LC forces from Loxley and Trippur move to link up as the Lyran pincer maneuver starts to slam shut on the western reaches of the Star Adder Commonwelath. While battles raged all up and down the sector, history remembered Storfors as the decisive engagement in the conflict.

Does the LC complete its encirclement of the SAC or do the Star Adders hold out long enough to escape the salient?



Scenario: The freshly-raised 3rd Commonwealth Jaegers (15 FP R/R) must hold off several Lyran commands as they drop on Storfors. Attackers are, in order of appearance:

Round 1 - Elements of 10th Lyran Guards (5 FP R/R)
Round 2 - Elements of 14th Lyran Guards (6 FP R/R)
Round 4 - Elements of 6th Donegal Guards (8 FP R/R)
Round 6 - Elements of 2nd Royals (12 FP E/F)

If this is played in MegaMek, all enemy reinforcements arrive by assault drop.

Scoring is based on how long the Commonwealth Jaegers survive.


Simple Res scoring table
CJ defeated on...

Round 1: LC total victory
Round 2: LC decisive victory
Round 3: LC marginal victory
Round 4: Draw
Round 5: SAC marginal victory
Round 6: SAC decisive victory
SAC forces survive the turn: SAC total victory

In MegaMek, each team earns points equal to the percentage of the enemy that is destroyed. Additionally, SAC earns 20 bonus points for each round they survive.



I would prefer this to be played out in MegaMek, both sides are open for players, and I will also be happy to play either side.
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.
