Somewhere in the Federated Suns
22 November 3091Manei Domini agents move to eliminate a high-value target somewhere in Federated Suns space; the only thing stopping them are a team of Rabid Foxes.
ScenarioAttackerThe attackers are a level II of legendary Manei Domini special forces, equipped with Celestial OmniMechs. All of the MD MechWarrios have the following implants:
- Buffered VDNI
- Pain Shunt
- Dermal Armor
- Communications Implant
Use one light 'Mech, two mediums, two heavies, and one assault.
DefendersThe defenders are elements of a Rabid Fox team. They are elite and may use any mix of unit types up to a maximum of twelve tactical units (and a minimum of 5 'Mechs). Total BV deployed may not exceed 75% of the attacker.
Special ConditionsThe target: The defender must place three ground cars on the map. These vehicles may move but cannot leave the map; if one leaves accidentally it is scored as if it were destroyed. Two of these vehicles are decoys, one contains the target; each time a ground car is destroyed, roll 1d6 - on a result of 5 or 6 (or when the third car is destroyed) the target is neutralized and the Manei Domini automatically win the scenario regardless of other conditions.
Map selection: Use urban terrain maps to construct the battlefield.
ScoringManei Domini win if the target is destroyed. Any other outcome is a Federated Suns victory.
This battle should not be resolved by simple resolution.
Holt and I are on it. He's already popped my Salamander's head off :'(

This has been one BRUTAL game :o
The Preta was down to an ER Medium Laser and had been circling the city for a dozen turns when we called it. There was very little chance of him finding my cars at the end.
The game was bloody from the start, My Salamander lined up with the Infernus at close range and got popped in the head with the Heavy PPC to start the game. The Dominus was parked in the SW corner for about 15 turns tearing my guys apart before I finally could maneuver some forces close enough to him to start dinging his armor.
My T-Bolt's RAC jammed early and I couldn't unjam it, then later on, it got blown up with rounds in the chamber. Between that and a head pop, Radomir had a little nap for a few turns. My Penetrator got ate up by the Archangel / Deva Combo that were hiding in building to the north. I sent the Grenediers in to chase the Deva out and once it did, it was taken down by T-Bolt, while his buddy the Archangel went down to the Legacy.
The Legacy had been affective at indirect fire whenever the Stealth had a Tag-lock on and the Dervish had an overwatch position going on until after the Malak was down. Then he went to deal with that long range problem of the Deva across the board. Several turns later a very beat up Dervish wished he didn't until his friend showed up and helped him. By freinds I mean the Demolisher that opened up some holes for him.
Overall, when the Vehicles weren't failing their piloting rolls, they were spot on. The Lucky did a lot of damage before those units went into the buildings, then destroyed him from cover. The Challenger had some long range loving for many folks, but started off tag teaming with the Dervish and Stealth to gimp the Malak right off the bat. And the Manteuffel was fine until he skidded from cover and was immobilized with his Heavy Gauss facing... no one.
There were a lot of what ifs to this battle, but the end result was that with 9 pairs of eyes watching out for the Preta, we'd have found him before he found the 2 remaining Ground Cars.
