Beginning of the Second Arboris Campaign
October 19, 3066 - After fleeing the Genoa System, Little Richard’s Panzer Brigade arrives in the Arboris System. They are bruised and battered with no infantry, tanks, or fighters. But they still have 71 mechs ready to smash, and that’s a strong unit.
We don’t have as many forces on planet. Once again, we contact the Coalition asking for reinforcements.
They didn’t want to risk a pirate point here, leaving under duress like they were, so they arrived at the Zenith point, where we have an Olympus class recharge station. Their DropShips release, and they begin the process of charging up, so they can leave quickly in case of a WarShip surprise. That’s also an important reason to arrive at the JumpPoint.
It’ll take their DropShips five days to land.
Who is on Arboris?
Star Battalion from Alpha Regiment:
Defender Company
Cinq Company
Brawler Company
First Tank Battalion
Arboris Avengers – 2 companies each of tanks, artillery and mechs, one squadron of aerofighters. One battalion of infantry. Green, fanatical.
As you can see, our units here are smaller and divided. This makes Arboris a decent fall back position for the Brigade, if they can take it. Green Avengers? They really aren’t a threat to a veteran unit with the Brigade. The tank battalion is regular. And those aren’t our best companies we have.
Brawler? 1 upgraded mech, 11 old ones, 6 elite, 2 green, 3 regular, 1 veteran
Cinq has 2 upgraded mechs (10 old ones) and 6 elite pilots, 3 vets, 2 regular, and 1 green
Defender? 12 mechs, all elite, 1 clan mechs, 1 upgraded mech, 10 lostech mechs.
I’m sure that Battalion of mechs looks weak on paper. They are misreading the situation, just like they misread the Wing of Fighters under the command of the Blackhearts as a traditional 20 fighter wing.
We have 71 mechs coming against one battalion of regular tanks, 2 companies of green tanks, 2 companies of green mechs, a squadron of green fighters, and a battalion of, average, veteran mechs with just 5 mechs that are anything other than old tech designs.
