Sept 3, 3039 - After a few days rest and repair, we have been ordered back to Marduk, where Field Marshal Sandoval is encountering heavy resistance from other forces that landed there.
Sept 9, 3039 - We arrive in Marduk.
Sept 13, 3039 - We land in New Pontiac and get a full situation report on the status of Marduk. The 8th Galedon Regulars and the Sixth Benjamin Regulars have arrived from the Dragon to protest the Davion presence on their planet. These two regiments are veteran and green, respectively. Their commanders do not get along, and Sandoval has noticed that they take different strategies on the field.
Davion forces still hold Victory Industries, New Pontiac and the industrial city of Deshler. The suburbs of New Pontiac are largely in ruin, as well as the city of Stanton. The Drac forces were routed from New Pontiac after attacking, and ran all the way to Fort Stroum. Fort Stroum is not like Fort Ea, which was more of a small wall for security purposes more than anything else. Fort Stroum is built on an old Star League era military compound, and it is quite hard to deal with as an attacker.
Since Sept 3, Davion forces have been besieging Fort Stroum is what looks like a medieval siege of a baron‘s castle. On Sept 8, two regiments of DCMS militia and mixed arms landed in Fort Stroum, but they haven’t helped. We are to place ourselves under the command of General Theodore Perry of the Tenth Deneb while Sandoval, here in New Pontiac, is communicating with his forces and coordinating attacks, counter attacks, raids, supplies and more.
Sept 14, 3039 - We arrive at the Fort Stroum siege. The mechs, vehicles and infantry are, literally, laid out a medieval siege. One side of Fort Stroum is against some heavy mountains, so our forces are around the other three sides.
Sept 16, 3039 - After a few days of raids by the Dracs to test our defenses, they try and sneak some mechs through the mountains behind them in order to hit us from behind, but they are spotted and it fails.
Sept 20, 3039 - After a few days of quiet, another regiment of conventional forces lands in Fort Stroum. They are only able to land due to turrets. Davion forces control the airspace elsewhere. This prevents them from ranging too far from Fort Stroum.
Sept 29, 3039 - Just the occasional weapons fire exchange when someone gets too close.
