March 14, We get news that a raid is underway on Terra Firma. Both Brawler Company and Beta Tank Battalion are there on garrison with an industrial complex of size combining many large and expensive companies and factories. A company of mechs of unknown origin is bearing down on our position. We always have one lance of mechs and one company of tanks on garrison there at any time. We combine, so when our heaviest mechs are there are lightest tanks, and vica versa. They struck when we have our best tank company from the battalion, but our scout lance.
Defending troops
Our troops are at least a half-hour away, and thus they have a chance to blast us and move in.

This is their Fireball, a quick 20 ton mech with a machine gun and a streak SRM 2 rack, plus 11/17 movement. It’s not that good.
As many know, tanks tend to be more fragile than BattleMechs. And I don’t have any heavy metal Mech’s to spearhead an offense. We are fighting outside of the industrial complex to reduce collateral damage to our employers. Plus, they rolled three assault mechs, so I am up against some serious competition. They will likely flee once they suffer 20% losses, since this is just a raid.
The Victor, BattleMaster, Fireball and Dervish all have veterans
Alright, time to get slaughtered.
