December 21, 3063 - Chief Ingrid Foster, of the Apollo Office, has connected us with many locals that would much prefer us to these folks. We have created a diversion, and fed these folks some cash for weapons, trucks, and such. They have a huge demonstration nearby one of the Regular facilities, with our mechs hidden, instead of a DropShip in the nearby DropPort. The goal is to agitate the local mechs and tanks out, and then hit them away from their defenses. This is a light industrial area, with no civilian homes. We shouldn’t do a lot of damage here.
The demonstration has started, and they take the bait, as expected. Our partisans fire SRM2 missile launchers, infernos, and are otherwise being annoying. They use a lot of hit and fade tactics, and drive away from the Regulars in armored trucks as Regulars advance. Unfortunately, one truck is destroyed with four locals.
We decide to move in to project the others. Most of their defending units have emerged from their position.
Seeing our units blip out of our DropShip and converge on them, they decide to pull all of their forces together and fight us right here, rather than leaving behind some of their forces to get crushed and fleeing with others. Tanks and mechs alike whirl onto the ferrocrete battlefield.
