Set-up – we win 10-7!!! Back to winning maybe? I set up my Banshee in the south flank of our central area. They set up on the bottom of the south flank.
Turn 1 – We keep init 9-5. Wow! I charge 5. I need that Wolverine and Archer legged. They move their Urbie first. I take the bait and base it with my Awesome and Hopper too. 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 destroys the CT on their Awesome, dead and the Wolverine it’s Head, doubly dead. We drop their Merlin, Locust, Whitworth, Stalker and Wolverine. No legs though. Turn 2 – We lose init by one 7-8. They don’t stand their JM. They move their Archer my BM follows. Our Cat and Wolverine base it too. 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! Salvage: UrbanMech – RT, LT, H, LA, LL, RA, RL Awesome – RT, RA, RL, LT, LL, LA Stalker – H, RA JagerMech – H, LL, RL, RA, LA Wolverine 6M with destroyed LT, and LL; current value is 4,065,657 – to fix is 800k.

July 01, 3030 – Contracts?!!??!?!??
I get 4. They are: #1. The CC want us to Obj Raid the FS newly christened border world of Truth one jump from Sarmaxa also captured by them they want us to raid. We could be here on July 6 if we sent the Battalions in Sarmaxa. #2. The Lyrans want us to 3-month security their planet of Lamon which is three jumps away for helping, we could be there on July 12. They’d need a mech and vee company. #3. The CC want us again to Extract Raid all of the military supplies from the Compact world of Taga’s HQ. We’d need just a company and could send in Khamésh or Deitch on July 9. #4.

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.

Set-up – We lose close and realistically 9-7. I set up at the top again. They set at the top around us in a giant circle.
Turn 1 – I lose again 10-8 again by 2. I move 5. They flank us with their Locusts and Wolfhound, PXH and I base their Wolfhound with my 2 Spiders and a Vulcan too. They base my Vulcan with a pair of Commandos. Our 2 Jav 10Fs and another Vulcan base their PXH. They move in their other Lights. Weapons – I fire 18 each at their BM and Banshee! Sip-Sam’s Awesome legged their heavily armored Banshee’s LL. We also destroyed both arms. Shoondzah’s Warhammer’s 6D PPc heads their BM! Dead mech and person, We also destroy its entire left side. Melee? We wound and drop their Wolfhound but their PXH stands and was hit. We killed their CO!! Turn 2 – We still lose by 1 3-2. Ouch. Rough. I charge five, their Wolfhound stands and then I stay near it, and then the same stuff near their PXH. Their lights are in my rear arcs. Our Banshee bases their Stalker that moves out and then two more assaults smashes join it. Their Cataphract bases our Banshee’s flank. Then we base it back with four smash units. They base our Banshee’s other flank with their MAD. Then their Goliath and Striker it’s front. We base their Locust with a pair of Wolverines. Weapons fire - I focus 18 each on their Stalker and nothing else, TDR? Zeus? Striker? I don’t want to overkill, but maybe that TDR will survive so I do it. Oitavo’s TDR hits the ammo on their Stalker, boom, dead mech!!! Sip-Sam’s Catapult hits the ammo on their TDR and boom, it explodes. Dead mech! Then our Banshee falls. Melee! They kick and destroy our Banshee’s RL and RA. Our Spider legs their Wolfhound! Our Vulcan legs their PXH after getting a limb blown off, on the ground but can be reattached. We drop their Cataphract but don’t leg it. We hurt their Locust but it stands. Turn 3 - We lose init again 8-5. Hmmm….not great. I eject my Banshee. They don’t their legged stuff. We base where we can and cannot move 5. We base their Goliath with 4 units and they base our BM on it with a leapt Catapult in our rear of our BM behind our lines. I base it with 2 Awesomes and a Longbow and Archer, I need to leg it. Their two Commandos base our rear and flank of our TBT. We base their TBT with two Assaults and a TDR. Their Whitworth leaps away, no kicks. We base their Marauder in front with an Atlas in Sip-Sam and Charger and TDR and Guillotine leaps to its rear. Their Cataphract rises and stays in that hex. Weapons fire! I fire 12 each at their Goliath, Zeus and Striker. Their Goliath survives. Sip-Sam’s Charger hit the ammo on their Zeus – boom, dead mech!!! Shoondzah’s Warhammer legs their Striker. We also destroy its LA and LT too. Melee? Our Atlas legs their Marauder, and then a Longbow legs their Catapult and BM legs their Cataphract. They eject and we blew up three, and then legged 7!
