Planet Stanley
16 November 3091

Sensing the Lyran Alliance's momentary weakness after the bloody Star Adder campaign, the Free Worlds League swoops in to take the Huesta Salient "under its protection."

Scenario

Free Worlds forces are invading the Lyran Alliance; Cruz Alta set the tempo for the campaign through the end of 3091.

Attacker

The attackers are elements of the Veteran 3rd Oriente Hussars. In MegaMek, build a BattleMech force to the scale desired for the battle; in Simple Resolution, the FP is 31.25.

Defender

The defenders are a hastily-assembled kampfgruppe drawn from various small units that had been pulled back into the region for repair and resupply. Build a combined-arms force equal to 75% of the battle value of the attacker, then randomly allocate skills. The force should meet the following specifications:


  • 'Mechs and Tanks equal to the number of 'Mechs fielded by the FWL
  • No more than one battle armor or conventional infantry for every 4 'Mechs or tanks
  • No more than 10% of the units may have Clan technology

In simple resolution, FP is 28.50.

Special Conditions

Command and Control Breakdown: The quickly-assembled Lyran force is having difficulties coordinating their operations. Lyrans get a -1 penalty on initiative.

Interference?

Clan Spirit Cat has the option to invade the same general region as part of their Rede with Clan Star Adder. If they exercise this option, the Spirit Cats may opt to join the battle with a one or more line-item of their Touman not to exceed 100% of the FWL force. Additionally, add one Veteran Clan Star Adder 'Mech for every 5 Spirit Cat units, representing assistance from their weakened by still battle-ready allies.

In Simple Resolution, Spirit Cat FP should not exceed 30.00, plus 5.00 representing Star Adder allies.

The FWL and Lyran sides are not permitted to "team up" to fight off the Spirit Cats, nor may the Cats ally with either of the other parties. Each side is out to defeat the other two.

Scoring

In MegaMek, the side with control of the field at the end of the game wins.

In Simple Resolution, follow standard Invasion rules.

If the Spirit Cats are involved, each side evenly divides damage dealt between the other two.
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.

Man, this game was soooo close! Even with my underhanded tactics that cost the FWL a Regulator and a few BA, I almost pulled this one out for the LA. There were two BA left and I killed one as they killed the immobile tank that betrayed them. Had I killed both BA, I wonder how this would have played out with the Tank immobile and the Albatross gimped in the fire.

We couldn't get the Spirit Cats to enter the battle. They were set up to do a timed drop with the bot forces on turn 4 and they would have probably killed us both. :P but the bot would not land them. Not our fault as we were forced to skipped them.

There were still a LOT of units left on the FWL side when the LA was down to the Banshee, Fafnir and Ironhold, but the Mantaufel and Von Luckner had "Surrendered," but the assaults were assaults and hard to bring down. Plus random skills had made one Veteran and the other Elite.

Yeah I intend to do a write up about Lyran tanker crew's insisting they were just following order's as the B Armor Infantry string them up one by one.

:-) I have it written but it's bad so I need to drink more so my writing will be less horrible I am anticipating by Sunday.

If I had as many BA as you did, I would have taken you ;) Btw, those Kopis are pretty sweet.
