Planet Brasha
13 November 3091In search of glory, warriors from the Galedon Shogunate jump the border to raid Horse Alliance worlds. Brasha was typical of these attacks.
ScenarioCombine warriors launch a lightning raid against the Horse Alliance.
AttackerThe attackers are elements of the veteran 21st Galedon Regulars. Build a force of light and medium 'Mechs no larger than company strength.
In simple resolution, the Galedon force is worth 1.0 FP.
DefenderThe defenders are elements of a Horse Alliance regiment or cluster. The force's BV should be roughly equal to the Draconis attackers.
In simple resolution, the Alliance force is worth 1.0 FP.
Special ConditionsCross-training: If the Horse Alliance force is drawn from a Hell's Horses cluster, add one Inner Sphere pilot in a
Merlin 'Mech after the rest of the force is built. If the Horse Alliance force is drawn from an Outworlds Alliance regiment, one 'Mech or tank may be a Clan type with a pilot one level better than normal. These represent Spheroid or Clanner 'exchange personnel.'
Banzai for the Coordinator!: the Combine warriors have whipped themselves up into a frenzy of violence. Give the "Pain Resistance" pilot ability to all Combine warriors.
ScoringIn Simple Resolution, standard raid rules apply (roll once only, defender wins ties)
In MegaMek, each side earns a number of points equal to the percentage of enemy BV destroyed.
- If the winner's score is no more than 24% above the loser's, the battle is a draw
- If the winner's score is 25-49% above the loser's, that side wins a marginal victory
- If the winner's score is 50% or more above the loser's, that side wins a decisive victory
Now the Horses get to see what the OA has been dealing with for Centuries :P, Dang Galedon Regulars!
BV for this one is very close. :) Should be fun. A 4 point Lance for the Dracs, 3 Point (4 Units) for the HA. Keeping it small to get results on the board.
It was a tough battle on the desert plains of Brasha, the Draconis Combine barely getting the victory.
Victory!

Yeah, I checked it out, just over 25% of your force remaining ;) Still it was kinda nice to get the IS atlas info on the world and find out it was a desert world. I really shouldn't have made that gamble with the Epona off the bat. If I'd have weathered that first attack, I'd have been golden for the rest of the game :P But every crit you had was "Vehicle Immoble" even after they were immoble :P
Good play on the DC's part using the terrain to their advantage and having some super fast movers. The Range on the crab was a big bonus, but the old Merlin just couldn't keep up with these youngins. The old school PPC was making it impossible to use against the Locust nipping at his heels, but once he was in front of the Merlin, the Locust used his boot to solve the problem.
Very lucky crits by the Dracs all game long really set this one on the path to their win. They were up 4 units to two before the comeback started but the Merlin didn't have enough left in the tank to put it away once the Kimodo and Phantom killed each other.
