Our Banshee bases their Whitworth. Our BM bases their Archer behind a building and Catapult bases their Merlin behind the building too. Their Stalker bases my Wolfhound. I base it with my TDR’s on it’s flank. Their Awesome moves 3. Our Stalker bases it. Our Charger bases their Wolverine and Stalker, but not pointed at the Awesome. Our CRD bases their Wolverine too again not pointed well though. Our Wolverine bases their Awesome and our Vulcan their Stalker. Weapons – I fire at their Awesome if they can see it they attack it. Our Charger’s AC20 destroys their Urbie’s CT; dead mech. First kill!!! Our Wolverine hit the gyro on their Awesome one, it falls as does their JM. Melee!

Our Stalker bases their Wasp, they don’t rise their Merlin or Whitworth. They rise their Stalker! I base it with my TDR in the rear and then they spin their Wolverine but don’t rise it. I base it with many hoping for a leg on the ground. Their Locust rises and ran behind a building. Our Vulcan bases their Wasp too. Weapons fire I unload everything on their Stalker with the ammo in the arms, very light upable. Our Charger destroys the Stalker’s RL, our Awesome it’s LL!!! Our CRD hits it’s engine twice and ammo too, boom, dead Stalker! Our Wolverine hit their JM’s RT ammo, boom, dead mech. Wow that was fast. Melee? Can we leg their Archer or the downed Wolverine to take anything away? Our TDR destroys the LT of their Wolverine. Our Stalker the left side of their Wasp. Our CRD destroys the LL of their Wolverine. Our Cat their Archer’s LL, so we legged it! They flee from their 4 destroyed and three legged mechs, we took out or legged 7 mechs!

Beginning of Contract #71:
June 07, 3030 – Heading on a raid by the CC on the FS world is Oitavo, Shoondzah and Sip-Sam at the planet of Sarmaza on the border just taken from them just like our raid on Gan Singh earlier. We are here to blow them down the beach and help hurt their rebuilding and such. This is both a smash and grab both. We arrive at the Nadir JumpPoint, no issues. June 12, 3030 – We land on Sarmaza and find no major landing issues. They have a battalion of mechs here to smash and then raid and blow up the base. We need to maximize the damage. Here are my stuff! Oitavo: AS7D Atlas BattleMaster 1G Thunderbolt 5S Guillotine 4L Awesome 8Q ARC2S Archer Crusader 3D Trebuchet 5N Vulcan 5T Spider Javelin 10F Griffin1S Great stuff save the lack of a Hopper and the lower rated TBT. Shoondzah: Banshee 3S BattleMaster 1G Charger 1a5 Thunderbolt Longbow 7Q Catapult C1 Warhammer 6D Archer 2R Grasshopper Vulcan 5T Wolverine 6M Wolfhound Much better! The Hopper and no TBT are there. Sip-Sam: Atlas AS7D BattleMaster 1G Charger 1A5 Thunderbolt Awesome Catapult C1 Trebuchet Archer 2R Grasshopper Javelin 10F Wolverine 6R Spider Great stuff there, with a TBT and Hopper so it’s an average.

Goliath - veteran Longbow 7Q!!! – veteran, CO Stalker, veteran Victor 9B, veteran, Zeus 6A - veteran, XO, this has PPC ,3 SRM6s, okay armor, LL, 2 ML one rear facing, just 17 heat sinks Love that Longbow!!!!

They are at the top, us at the bottom in a base. They are all regular.

Beginning of Contract #72:
July 6, 3030 – Our battalion and Overlord, Avenger and Leopard CV arrive at the Nadir JumpPoint of the new border world of Truth and there are no folks here that intercede. July 11, 3030 – We land at Truth and then scout with our 12 fighters and then local conventional ones attack and some VTOLs too so we divert and smash them good. We land at the Davion HQ and they unfurl the expected Mech Battalion! Assault: Banshee 3S – veteran, XO - yay BattleMaster 1D – veteran, CO – yay!!! Goliath - veteran Stalker 3f - veteran Striker 2S - veteran Zeus 6S - veteran Two great assaults smashes I adore! Heavy: Cataphract Catapult – yay! JagerMech Marauder 3D Merlin Quickdraw Rifleman Thunderbolt – yay!!! Love that Cat and Thunderbolt! 2 more great mechs to add! Medium: Centurion Cicada Chameleon Dervish 3 Enforcer Phoenix Hawk !!! Shadow Hawk 2D Trebuchet!!! Whitworth Wolverine 6D Nice PXh, the Wolverine is not one of my fave variants though. Light: 2 Commando 1 Javelin 2 Locust 1E!!! 2 Stinger 2 Wasp 1 Wolfhound!!! Love that Locust variant and then the Wolfhound is my preferred non-jumping light scout though. This is their badly designed Shadow Hawk with AC5, 2 SRM2s 2 ML, LRM5 and then no armor at all and moves 5/8/5 with 12 heat sinks, not great for exchanging fire.  They are regular and on the far side and us on the south.

We arrive, and then scout with fighters and yes, they are as expected. Our Rebel LC Lamon Foes! Mechs: Atlas – Yay!!!, veteran, CO Victor 9B – veteran, XO Catapult – yaya!!!! JagerMech – JM6S – the bad one. Warhammer 6R – Okay, I have one spare, prefer the 6D they are allied with. Assassin Centurion Trebuchet – not bad. Vulcan 5T!!!! – yay!!! Love it.

Set-up – We win well 10-6 by 4. I set up on the southern top flank and then vees under us too. They set up around the building in the middle.
Turn 1 – We lose init unfortunately, but closer 8-6. We charge 5 where possible, although their Puma heads in front of our Charger which bases it but moves just 4. I also base it with our Banshee and BM. Their Victor leaps to our BM’s flank, our Orion bases it. Our Stalker and Awesome base it too. None move 5 though and are easy to it. They flank us with their Condor, Harasser and Stinger too. I base their Vulcan with our Jav and Wolverine. Weapons fire! I fire mechs at their Atlas and vees at their SF. Our Archer destroys the Atlas’s LA. It falls. Our Manticore destroys the SF’s front side it’s down! Melee? Our BM destroys their Puma’s left side. Down vee!!!

Their Catapult is too far away, no legging it. Our Wolfhound bases their Trebuchet’s rear. Our three assault smash stuff base their JM on their Hunter. We base their Brutus with our Archer and CRD and if we both kick the side, that would drop it. Weapons fire! I fire mechs at their Atlas again and 6 vees each at their Schrek and Brutus. Our Schrek’s front is destroyed by their VL. Their Schrek and Brutus are savaged but around. Our Orion destroys their Atlas’s LL, and the RL and RA destroyed too. Double legged!!! Melee?

Set-up – We win 10-7! I set up the top flank of the south centered on muh Atlas!!! They set up the BM decently close but the rest far away.
Turn 1 – We win 11-7. I charge 5 where possible. Our BM and Atlas base their Orion. Our Banshee their Vindicator after it jumps in front +1 to hit though. Our Cat bases it. Our Spider bases their MAD3L flank. They run their BM away. I fire at their BM!!! Our Catapult hits the ammo in the RT but nothing else destroyed. Our Banshee falls. Melee. We drop their Orion. The pilot blacked out when ejecting. Turn 2 – We keep init 12-9. Our Wolfhound and Spider base their Jav. Our Banshee rises. Our Hopper bases their Jav. Our Stalker their QD bases. Their Orion doesn’t stand. Our BM bases their Locust. Our Catapult stays next to their Vindicator. Our Striker and Atlas base their Awesome. Hopefully we can leg the VND. Weapons fire! Awesome or Stalker 3H? I’m out of Awesomes, so that. I go overheat on their BJ missiles and such. They destroy the ammo on my Archer dead mech. Before it died it destroys their Awesome’s RT, RA on the ground. Our Wolfhound heads it, dead mech!! We drop their BJ and our Atlas fell, it’s melee time! Our BM legs their Locust 1L; our Hopper legs their Javelin, no leg on the VND. Our TDR destroys the RT on their Orion. They eject from their two legged lights and leave us the battlefield with two major leaders gone. Salvage: BattleMaster – H, RA, LA, LL, RL, LT Awesome missing RT, H; see below Locust 1L missing LL; current value is 1,648,400 – to fix 200k. Javelin missing RL; current value is 2,150,840 – to fix 250k I add the BM parts. Can I fix the Awesome torso and H? Got them both – added!!! I don’t care for the Jav or Locust. Us: Archer 2R – H, RA, RL, LA, LL I add the parts. Battle Loss - 6,384,973 I pay the BL to repair.

We scout with fighters from our Leopard CV and Union and then force them into a killing zone. Here is Labíng-Pitó as a reminder: Banshee 3S Crockett – CRK-5003-0 Charger 1a5 Thunderbolt Awesome Catapult C1 Crusader 3K Archer 2R Grasshopper Phoenix Hawk Wolverine 6M Jenner 7F This is the one with the jumping Crockett.

Set-up – We win 8-6. I set up. They do so too.
Turn 1 – We edge them 7-6. I charge 5 where possible. They move their Hopper first and not towards us. Our Cat and CRD base their Charger. Who do I fire at? The Zeus or Hopper? The Zeus. Our Crockett hit the gyro and engine once each and our Charger the other gyro - destroyed. Our Awesome destroys it’s RT, RA on the ground and hit the engine and gyro once more each. Ditto our Wolverine, shut down. No falls by us. Melee! We kick down their Charger. Turn 2 – We keep init 8-5. That’s our biggest win. Our Wolverine bases their Marauder’s flank. They don’t stand their Charger and turn it. Our PXh next to their MAD too. Our CRD bases their TBT. Their Wolverine retreats no kick kill. They leap their Hopper away, no legs there either. I keep my Cat next to their Charger. They leap their Catapult behind my line and my Hopper and Crockett base it. I fire at their Grasshopper in the woods if I can see it. it’s +5 to hit, so it’ll be hard to end. I go overheat on it. It took light damage and fell. Melee! Can I leg anything? Our Banshee punches and destroys their Catapult after hitting the RT ammo, boom! Our Wolverine legs their Marauder 3M’s RL!!! We savage their TBT and Charger neither legged. The TBT fell and we broke the Charger’s RT. They have a destroyed assault and the other savaged and then a legged heavy, one destroyed and then the other on the ground. They eject the MAD and flee Salvage: Catapult – RA, LL, LT, H, LA, RL Zeus 6A – destroyed RT, 3 engine and 4 gyro hits; see below Marauder 3M – destroyed RL; see below I add the CAT parts. Do I have a Zeus RT? Yup! Added! Can I fix the engine? Done today! The gyro in a few days. The MAD RL? No legs from that chassis! Other 75 tonners? Got an Orion one – added!!!

Set-up – We lose 10-5. Ouch half theirs. I set up in the top most flank first. They set up tops of the top flank.
Turn 1 – We lose init 6-5. Close! We charge 5, they begin to flank us with Jenners, and Locust and FS too and randomly that jumpjet-less PXH is too and Assassin. Our two Spiders base their Jenner 7F. We send out our 18 mechs at their BM and Longbow in longer range. Sip-Sam’s Charger hit the ammo in their BM, boom, dead mech!!! Shoondzah’s Warhammer legs their Longbow’s RL and then we destroy it’s RA, RT and LA too. Legged!!! Melee we drop their Jenner. Turn 2 – They keep init 8-7, again close! We charge 5! They move their TBolt in front of my assaults just 4 away, I base it with an Atlas, BM and Banshee. They don’t eject their Longbow, they rise their Jenner and then I keep based with my 2 Spiders. They move to our rear with the other flankers. I base their Wasp 1K with our Javelin and Wolfhound. Their Dragon bases the flank of my Awesome from Sip-Sam and then the Victor leaps next to it the other flank. Then the Striker it’s front. Their Archer is based by my two Chargers that moved 6 and Oitavo’s TDR too. They base our Catapult rear in Shoondzah with their Dragon. Weapons fire – I send 18 each at their Stalker and Victor to take them out. Their Dragon hits the weak rear armor and blows up our Catapult. Ouch!

Our Banshee legs their TDR’s RL!!! Our TDR legs their Archer!!!! We savage and drop their Wasp and Jenner Turn 3 – We grab init 5-2. Okay. They don’t eject their TBolt or Archer. They stand their Jenner and run, based by our Spiders too, and then their Wasp which we hit in each leg with our Wolfhound and Jav 10F. I eject my Awesome. Their Hopper hops away into woods, cannot be based by our heavy stuff, and my scouts have mostly moved – we base it with a Griffin and two Wolverines, I’ll need to get the mech’s leg blow off and hit all in one spot by the three. We base their Marauder and Rifleman each with three smash like Guillotines or assaults. Weapons fire is here! I send 12 each at their Striker, Grasshopper and Goliath. Shoondzah’s Warhammer destroys the ammo in their Striker, boom, dead mech! Oitavo’s Guillotine destroys their Goliath’s RT, normally that would be okay, but in a quad it double legs it. We also destroy other legs too. Their Grasshopper in woods and +4 to hit is fine and drops and lost an RA. Can I leg it? Melee! I leg the Wasp 1K with our Wolfhound and hten Jenner with a Spider. We destroy the Hopper’s RT too. Nothing else though. It survives. We drop their MAD and leg their Rifleman. They eject and flee!!!!!!

Set-up – We win by one 9-8. We set up my Atlas in the center. They set up in the top section
Turn 1 – We lose init 10-8. I move 5 where possible. Our Atlas does and bases their Urbie. Our Stalker bases their CRD and Hopper and PXH too. Our Banshee moves 4 and bases their Victor who’s next to the flank of our Atlas. Our BM, Orion and CRD their Stalker. Our Awesome next to their Hunch. Our Vulcan bases their Chameleon. I fire at their Victor. Our Orion legs their Victor. Our Stalker hits the ammo in its RT, boom, dead mech!!! Melee! Can I leg the Stalker or CRD? The CRD has 36 total armor internal and external in one leg, the Stalker 43 total. I get my kick on!!! We drop their Stalker and Centurion, and then leg their Urbie and CRD!!! https://forums.operationsports.com/f.../separator.gif Do they keep up with one Assault down and then the other savaged on the ground and then two legged? I think so. If we legged the Stalker, they’d flee Turn 2 – We win init big 9-2. Ouch. They don’t eject their CRD or Urbie. Our Awesome and Orion base their Jav. Our Vulcan and PXh base their Chameleon. Their Centurion rises. I base it with our Atlas and Banshee. Their Stalker doesn’t rise. Our CRD and BM base their Hunch. I fire at their Stalker. Our Banshee legs their Stalker, both of them. Our BM hits RA ammo, boom, dead mech!!! They destroy my BM’s LA. Melee!! Can we leg their Jav, Chameleon, or Centurion and Hunchback? Our Banshee legs their Centurion, but hits ammo in RT. Boom dead mech. Weird. Our Orion legs their Jav! We don’t drop their Chameleon or destroy a leg. Our CRD legs their Hunch though. We have legged or destroyed 7 of their mechs, they surrender! We get their Union!! Salvage: Victor - RA, H, LL Stalker – LA, LT, H Centurion – H, LA, RA, LL, LT Crusader 3R – missing RL; see below UrbanMech – missing LL; current value - 1,271,925 – to fix 200k Javelin 10N – missing RL; current value - 2,150,840 – to fix 250k Hunchback - missing LL; see below We add the pieces!

Sept 05, 3030 – We spend four days relaxing, and repairing and then blowing up their stuff. We salvage from them 900k from their HQ in supplies and parts and such. Get that cash!!!
We leave this planet. Sept 12 – We arrive at the Zenith JumpPoint of the 3rd Pirate Planet System in the Periphery! Here our intel is correct and there are a pair of JumpShips – a Merchant with nothing and an Invader with two rings with a Leopard CV and then an Avenger too and an empty one. According to intel this has a Command Lance of Mechs and a Company of Vees. We unload and head out to meet them. They have here 6 fighters, and another 4 from converting their JumpShip Small craft and we smash them with our 12 in our new Union and two adds plus Achilles vs Avenger and then 2 Aquarius from it 2 more from our Invader. We take out 6 of their fighters, their Avenger, their Leopard CV flees and we cannot take it out. It loaded up on the Merchant. It jumps out. We head to their Invader and it also jumps out too. Can we salvage their Avenger? Yup, I toss a 10! It costs 11 mill, spent now! War chest is – 682,272,191. Battle Loss at the JumpPoint – We took 6 mill in damage in the battle. We lost 6 fighters, and then three can be salvaged for 2.1 mill, and then three lost for 14,401,791. We also lost an Aquarius for 14,221,500. Then we can salvage 3 of theirs back for 2.5 mill. We salvage here with the salvageable Drop is just 150k from the various stuff left. Sept 19, 3003 – Their Invader JumpShip arrives back at the system, this time the Nadir JumpPoint. Sept 20, 3030 – We arrive at the planet, scout and then land! We find here at their base three Drops, their Mule to bring back stuff and then a Leopard for mechs and then Gazelle for vees. We unload and then smash them!!! Here are the Pirate-y Defenders! Mechs: Victor 9B – veteran, CO Crusader 3D!!! Vindicator Javelin Love that CRD, my favorite variant!!!

Set-up – We lose 6-8. I set up at the top my Atlas in the middle. They set up around us. Their Victor though right by us was placed first, and can jump behind our line.
Turn 1 – We beat them by 3 12-9 to grab init. I try to move 5. Our Stalker and Awesome base their LRM Carrier but just walked there. Our Atlas on their SRM one and Orion next to it. Our Vulcan and PXH and Archer next to a Hetzer! Our CRD on the LRM Carrier too. They move their Victor last and I base it with our BM. Weapons fire – I fire at their Rhino!!! Our BM’s LRM20 immobilizes their Pike! Our BM’s PPC destroys their Rhino’s front, dead tank!!! Our Atlas falls. Melee! Can I take out their LRM and SRM Carriers? Their SRM Carrier survives with 1 armor front, but their Hetzer is destroyed by my PXH! Their LRM Carrier destroyed by our Stalker! They leg our BM on the ground so we can reattach it. Turn 2 – We win 6-4. They eject the Pike, us the BM. Our CRD bases their Hunter. Our Atlas rises. Our Banshee and Orion base their Victor. They move in their CRD, can I base it? I base it with our Archer, Awesome, PXH, Vulcan, and Wolfhound. Hopefully those can leg it. Our Stalker bases their SRM Carrier and Hopper too. Weapons fire! I fire at their Hunter trying to get it for me. Then some at their Puma too. I go overheat. Their Puma survives, but our Orion destroys their Hunter’s front with it’s AC10. No falls, melee! Our Stalker destroys the front of their SRM Carrier! Our Wolfhound legs their CRD LL!! Good stuff team! We don’t leg or drop their4 Victor. They flee and eject the Crusader. Salvage: Pike (Missile) – immobile Rhino (Flamer) – destroyed front, we toss an 8 and can salvage. Hetzer – destroyed front, we toss a 3 nope LRM Carrier – destroyed left side, we toss a 7 nope Hunter – destroyed front, I toss a 9 and can salvage SRM Carrier – we destroy it’s front and toss a 5 and cannot salvage I add the Pike, Rhino and Hunter. Crusader 3D – missing LL; see below Do I have a CRD LL? No CRD legs of either type, other 65 tonners? Got one from a Catapult, toss an 8 it works, added! Us: BattleMaster - reattach RL Fixed easily enough. With their JumpShip back, they load up their Leopard and Gazelle and flee to the thing, we don’t have enough of a fleet to take them both out, so I focus on their Gazelle. We take it out. Can we salvage it? I toss a 5, nope. We salvage from the crash and then tanks 6 mill of stuff.

Sept 22, 3030 – The locals here raid the local nearby mech maker. We agree to hit them for the local governor. We are not contracted for this. Raiding is a merc mech company, so we send out the mech company of ‘Eono to help out and put the full vee on alert at the communications base we are set up at in case it’s a trap. They will give us the same deal as the ComStar plus a 1 mill CBill bonus if we take them out.

I fire at their BM!!! It loses no pieces and then falls with 3 left internal in it’s LL. Our Bm and theirs too fell. Melee! Kicks!!!

Then our BM is decapitated by their Cyclops, dead mech and warrior. Our Vulcan hit their Cyclops in the CT and hit the engine and gyro once each – down and out! Melee? Can I leg the grounded Hopper? The HBK or Rifleman too? Their Hopper survives with the savaged leg, insert sad face, but the Catapult legs their Hunch’s RL!!! We hit the Rifleman leg in the same leg, but one was a glancing blow. That saves them!!! We took out both of their leaders and then a Hunch too. They eject from it and we return the things they were leaving the factory from with.

Turn 1 – We lose again, but bigger by 4. 8-4. We charge 5 where possible. We base their Behemoth and it’s under their Cataphract 2X. We base it and move just 3 our TDR, Charger and Banshee. We also base their TBT with our Goliath and Warhammer. They flank our Warhammer with their Hermes II and we base it with our Catapult, Vulcan and Dervish and Locust on it’s flank. Weapons fire! Our Mechs fire at their Stalker and vees split on their lightly armored Ontos and Schrek. Our Crusader hits the ammo in their Stalker - it ignites, dead mech!! Our Devastator destroys their Schrek’s front and our Manticore their Ontos’s turret. They get a through armor crit on our ammo in our Dervish and it lights up. Physical attack time!!! We leg their Hermes II! We drop their TBT and CTF 2X but no legs. Turn 2 – We still lose – 5-2. They rise their CTF and I stick next to it with the same mechs turning to move. They rise their TBT and run and I base it with our Vulcan and Jav and Locust. Our Goliath, Crusader and Warhammer base their Rifleman but they backed up their Archer cannot get to it physically. I fire mechs at their Archer and vees at their Manticore. Our Charger’s AC20 hits the ammo on their Archer’s RT, boom!!! Our Rhino destroys their Manticore’s front. Dead tank. Their Hetzer destroys our Schrek’s front, dead tank! Melee?!?! Our Locust legs their TBT! Our Banshee their CTF!! Our Warhammer their Rifleman too!!! They eject their legged stuff.

EVENT, August 16, 3030 – The planet of Outreach is granted to the Wolf’s Dragoons as a fiefdom since they really helped win the Draconis side of the war and are a big merc unit to rebuild. They lost the vast majority of their forces. They requested it. Outreach is the former site of a Star League industrial complex they know about and they will turn it int the central HQ of good stuff soon. Blackwell Industries will set up shop there with a mech making plant and get the Dragoons back up to speed with designs that are either the Dragoons’ own or from the Star League era like Falcons and Annihilators.
