November 3, 3064 – After scouting around a bit, they have decided to strike at a pair of local warehouses just three miles from the DropPort. They unload and break out. One of our makeshift companies hangs back to secure the landing zone. The other two break out. One will secure the transport area, and makes sure that vehicles, planes, VTOLs, and other things in the area are just civilian, and clears a path, and the third hits the warehouse.

In fifteen minutes, a few infantry platoons arrive at the DropPort and begin to spread out. They are not starting a fight with a company of hostile mechs, but are securing combat zones, evacuating folk, protecting centers of population and such.

As the companies head out, a lance of scout mechs arrive in the area, and are not attacking, because of the huge outnumbered nature of the area. They begin to secure lines of fire to get ready, and attack us.

Meanwhile, the third company is at the warehouses, fired and destroyed the tops of the warehouses, and mechs are reaching in and pulling out boxes, crates, and equipment. The warehouses have military and industrial supplies.

Because we aren’t taking much, within a few minutes, we have secured what we want and begin to fade. A company of tanks arrive but they decide to let us go as our forces are combining together, and they don’t want to face an entire battalion of mechs.

Within less than 2 hours, we have lifted off and the plan worked very successfully. We took about 9 million worth of stuff.
