The place their foes landed is just outside of a small lake, with a large central transportation hub a few miles away, and a DropPort that is relatively isolated. This is one of the three spots that the Blackhearts chose to amp up with their own unit. It’s ready and overwhelmed by numbers. They had a strong defensive set up, but it’ll take the Bridge a while to change their organization – they were not expecting to work with this many people together, so securing the LZ, unloading their stuff, having different logistical needs, and so forth, they won’t be able to do any sort of a quick strike, especially not against heavy air cover.
None follow, and the Blackhearts load up their units on nearby DropShips and jump them over to their new location and unload. Many supplies and such will come in a more conventional way, via a train of Burro II trucks.
October 8, 3066 – After spending the day getting themselves ready, the Panzer Brigade sends out a few feelers and tries to get a sense of the Blackhearts.
Over the next week, the campaign will take place. Since this is not with our units, I’m just going to do some quick campaign results until reinforcements arrive.
Reinforcements will arrive on October 18 in system, and land 2 days later.
That’s basically two weeks from now. So here is what we have.
Advantages for the Blackhearts:
- Air Superiority. In fact, they have such strong superiority that I am giving them a double advantage for this.
- They are on the defense
- They know the terrain
- They have the cooperation of the local forces
- They have forced the Brigade to fight with their weakness: together
- They are reliable to the Brigade’s questionable
- The Blackhearts have more upgraded technology
Advantages for the Brigade:
- They have no supply or logistical issues, they are all in one place; the Blackhearts have supply lines that can be attacked and cut
- The Brigade has the infantry
Neutral –
- Both are veteran
- Both have the same number of mechs and tanks
So the Brigade has supply and infantry, and the Blackhearts have every other advantage.
So, by the 18th…
The Blackhearts have lost 10% of their forces across tanks and mechs
The Brigade has lost 25% of their forces across both as well
