November 1, 3066 – A few hours later, our forces land. We didn’t bring a lot of DropShips, so our foes probably thought we didn’t have a lot to bring. But out of the Excalibur, Overlord, and Colossus come a battalion of tanks, and almost a regiment of mechs.

We also have our WarShip now in orbit, preventing anyone from coming out. The Fredasa is three days out. The Aegis Swift Justice is extremely slow, so it’s easier to flee from it. But Kerensky’s Justice is here and it will keep them from fleeing overly much.

We have sent out 36 fighters from our various forces to hit our foes. We give the local fighters a break.

Our three DropShips landed in a triangle around their temporary base camp, that they are just making it to, right now, and we unload just 20 miles away from them on each flank. We are secure in our LZs, because we have 36 fighters above, and they can’t force themselves into weapons range of something like an Excalibur DropShip in order to attack out mechs as they unload. They moved their DropShips to the local camp, which gives them some power to prevent an attack. If we just attacked their camp with our fighters, we’d win, but lose about half. We want to coordinate attacks.
