Beginning of Scenario Ten – Hold the Line
Ruhe, Zurich
July 21, 3063 – LeSatte has every intention of ousting Hasseldorf from Ruhe, because the longer they wait, the more secure the Hasseldorf unit will become. The problems are two-fold:
1). There is just one way to Ruhe, since it’s on a lake, easily defended
2). They expect us to hit them as they arrive
That’s bad news for LaSatte, but they have a plan. Unknown to us, they are sending a company of their remaining scouts and faster units to appear like a normal mech company, and then bait us into flanking them, outrunning us, and then joining their battle already in progress.
The plan works initially. They have attacked along the vector of Shadow company, (the weakest one, supposedly) who follows. And then they manage to slip away, rejoin their main army who has reached Ruhe.
But they forgot something important. Conner Ward is a clever little bastard.
He dropped Brusier Company into the lake, and slowly, under the cover of distance, battle, and more, moved along the lake bed, until the entire company unloaded on the far end, about a half-mile down from Ruhe and the beginning of the battle. One of our mechs, the Marauder Iic is breached and could not arrive, it had to return. The rest of the company is here and ready to rock.
