We manage to get our salvage taken back while Cinq company rejoins us after their foes fled before battle was enjoined. Delta Company rejoins us, and the four companies see that the Anvil Ghosts are holding their ground against the other forces except the NAIS where they are winning.
The hammer Ghosts, however, are not. They are slashing through the 2nd Rangers. Just before they get to our Phaeton and Trinity companies, we get a call over the radio for a general retreat. With our vehicles and mechs towing salvage we have not yet grabbed, we retreat while Phaeton and Trinity companies cover for us and several of our allies as well.
July 28, 3039 - About a quarter of the NAIS and 2nd Rangers regiments have been lost. That’s about 50 mechs gone from our allies. The Ghosts have had losses, but over all this battle was a victory for them, despite our personal winnings. The Ghots made off with three DropsShips full of materiel, that is thousands of tons of ammo, spare armor, weapons, and more.
July 29, 3039 - Our allies are demoralized and distraught and damaged. General Baden-Powell orders them to leave for Robinson, the capital system of the area.
July 30, 3039 - Our allies leave planet, leaving just us and ten regiments of conventional troops on planet.
August 4, 3039 -After several strikes against us, one regiment of Ghosts leaves Breed. According to intel, that leaves just two left on planet.
August 6, 3039 - General Baden-Powell orders all of his conventional troops to go to the biggest targets, and we are tasked with striking any Ghost raids.
Aug 8, 3039 - Phaeton Company comes across a pair of companies of Ghost mechs, but they immediately withdraw before fire is exchanged. General Baden-Powell orders us not to follow, since it might be a trap.
Aug 9, 3039 - A bold raid against a mining company has Baden-Powell pulling hair out of his head. However, we are still ordered to take this cautiously.
Aug 10, 3039 - Cinq Company is nearby when a raid occurs near a logging complex. Cinq Company investigates and discovers a scout lance of Ghost mechs who zoom away. We do not follow.
