Dec 29 – Essex’s forces arrive in system. Like usually, he tried to overload stuff.
WarShip, Vengeance, Claymore, Elephant, Avenger
Plus
Beta Regiment of Mechs
Jan 1 – While waiting for our forces to arrive, they strike and capture five nearby cities.
Jan 3 – The WarShip blockades Acamar, allowing only commercial traffic once boarded and searched, or our traffic. We are locking our foes on the ground.
We want to end this with orbital bombardment. We could just blast their camp. But they used a town as their base, and we don’t want to kill civilizations. Plus, we would kill non-combatants like techs and doctors. That’s not nice. I am willing to strike solely military targets when there are no other options, but is not solely a military target, and I am not willing to bombard a town. That would make us no better than Clan Smoke Jaguar.
We force Beta Regiment to the planet, escorted by more than 60 fighters, and Taurus small craft. At first they lift off their 48 fighters to protest us, but we feint our 12 fighters on planet, and they are forced to pull out and we ground our fighters with Beta Regiment.
