They have no mechs at all on planet, and they are unwilling to do a Trial of any sort against ours. But we do have a unit of Elementals we have been using.
We use our one squad of Elementals, against theirs. Both are regular…
I’m not going to sim this, it’ll take a while. I’ll just toss one D6:
1 Total Victory, we only lose one Elemental
2 Normal Victory , we lose 2.
3 Pyrrhic Victory, we lose 3
4 Close loss, we lose 3
5 Normal loss – we lose 4
6 Total Loss – we lose the whole unit, all 5.
There we are. We roll a …3
It was close, but we win, and they agree to leave the world.
Meanwhile, we replace the three dead warriors with three we captured. We also captured one in this battle, so we still have 2 extras.
October 9, 3065 – The last Falcons leave the planet.
Magnus has been talking with the Blue Stars about their finances and WarShip. They are in debt, they really can’t afford to pay us post-battle. We were able to win a trial to force them off world, but if not, we would have had to have peeled off a lot of Elementals and perhaps some friends from the system that dropped down on us. (Fighters) That would have been rough to have compensated for.
Magnus points out that their unit used to be a proud three regiment unit. Now they are down to one after the clans, and they can’t rebuild as long as they have the increasing debt. We could offer them more than money. Imagine what they could do with another battalion of mechs, right now. Just think about it.
