December 7, 3065 - We land on Rasalhague. We have put up four mechs we captured in battle against the Falcons against the lance that we want.
Since the battle is for something smaller, the defending forces are smaller too. They have an elite star of front line mechs ready to punish us for our hope. Meanwhile we are sending five mechs of our own:
Steel in the Blood Asp B
Clan vet in the Turkina B
Longshot in the Vulture Prime
Dagger in the Starslayer
Clan vet in the Cougar Prime (2x Large pulses, 2x LRM10s)
Our Cougar:
Two assaults, one heavy, one medium, and one light, and four clan mechs in there.
We are facing:
Kingfisher Prime (2x large pulse lasers, LRm10, SRM6 Streak, 2x medium pulses, ER Small laser, max armor, 17/34 heat, 4/6, 90 tons)
Vulture B
Vulture Prime
Dragonfly Prime
Dasher B
All clan elite. So, really elite.
They have two heavies, the Kingfisher assault, and then a Dragonfly and Dasher as nasty little scouts. They both have powerful range due to their movement. (Dasher is 10/15 with MASC and the Dragonfly 8/12/8)
They only advantage we have is that we have two massively armored assault mechs, both that are bringing some heat to the battlefield versus one of theirs. The Vultures are a mech with one of the most painful weapons payloads you will find, and they are fast too, but they are a bit of a glass jaw mech. The B is a mech with 2x er large lasers, 3x medium pulses, LRm 20, and 2x SRM6 streak. With 12/24 heat sinks – not enough for everything. They only have 8.5 tons of clan ferro armor, (roughly the equivalent of 10 tons of normal armor). They have the payload of an assault mech, and the armor of a Hunchback. So the Vultures will be our primary targets. If we can take them down, we may have some strong momentum against them.
Our BV is 22126 with these five mechs and pilots. Theirs is 21391.
This is doable.
