The Sohei: O5P Warrior Monks

[Takiro]

Unless the Tennyo can draw the jags into some AAA, I can't see them winning this.  They just don't have the throw weight to deal with 20 clan fighters.

Luring them either closer to ground where AAA and conventional fighters can be brought to bear or into orbit where the Achilles become a factor were my two ideas.

[Daryk]

I think the former will have a better chance of working than the latter.  An Achilles is good, but still can't match the range of those clan weapons.

[Sharpnel]

Yep, this is going to get ugly for the Sohei

[DOC_Agren]

Where did the Psi Galaxy Command Trinary pop up from?
Do they have a warship in system?

And just like all clanpirates when we beat them by their own rules, now they want to make this personal. 

Because this going to very ugly and messy for our side, a couple things going for us. 
Zuzanne ‘Būmubūmu’ Agnika, Elite, D36b Thunderbird [Doc_Agren] {Lance Commander}
Mariah ‘Pikushī’ Cassetti, Regular, D46 Thunderbird [Doc_Agren]
have trained to fly, as 1 unit, with "Pikushi" sweeping for "Būmubūmu" attack/strike missions

I fully expect to loose Kim Mi Sun, Veteran, S-4 Sai [Doc_Agren] given her goal is to kill any and all Clan Smoke Jaguar she can get her sights, she will take extreme risks to make it happen.

did we not have time to unload Arty on Airfield to keep them grounded?

[Takiro]

I think the former will have a better chance of working than the latter.  An Achilles is good, but still can't match the range of those clan weapons.

I was thinking an orbital battle might be desirable to both sides as the Clanners are interested in the glory of taking out these bandits fighters and assault ships which would give them nearly complete aerospace supremacy. And there are two Achilles in orbit not just one.

Yep, this is going to get ugly for the Sohei

Absolutely, and they better get uglier for the Jaguars or it could be the end. Their first mission could well be their last.

Where did the Psi Galaxy Command Trinary pop up from?

They were with Galaxy Commander Frederick Ott who fought in the initial Trial. His presence was confirmed by O5P but unfortunately estimates for aerospace forces weren't. Intelligence expected a Star of ten fighters and they blew it.

Do they have a warship in system?

No warship in system and scans tell us that they only have transport assets for the Command Trinary (Lion and a Carrier) not the PGC. No other dropships (assault ships), jumpships, or warships have been detected since we emerged from that pirate point. Oh and I should tell you also no outgoing HPG traffic detected yet.

And just like all clanpirates when we beat them by their own rules, now they want to make this personal.

LOL, you've just described the Jaguar SOP in a nutshell. Seriously though circumstances here were quite opposite what you would expect. It was the Sohei who came expecting an honorable duel and the Jags certain these surats deserved no honor. Expectations are a bitch.

Interesting notes on the pilots Doc, thanks. In general I expect the Tennyo to be better skill wise then their Clan counterparts which could repeat events of the initial Trial. I think the Jaguars were stunned by the skill exhibited by the Sohei which may happen again here. Also don't forget that initiative bonus which Aerotech grants InnerSphere pilots over the Clanners. I think they will be able to control the tempo of the battle far better than the aerospace pilot reflexes would expect. ;)

did we not have time to unload Arty on Airfield to keep them grounded?

During the battle I will say the Tennyo and Charlie Command Star were airborne maintaining an air cap over their respective positions. Once the signal was given the Rogue Aerospace Star of the 10th was launched and this action began. Obviously they are not carrying bombs and are at full thrust to chase down the Tennyo.

We can go up or down. Yes we have some AAA awaiting if we go for the deck as well as conventional fighters but I'm in favor of going orbital with those two Achilles attempting to level the playing field which is probably ok with the Clanners. 

[Daryk]

Two Achilles might be enough, but I'd hate to lose even one...

[Daryk]

And before I forget to ask, are they the 3025 versions or the upgrades?

[Takiro]

And before I forget to ask, are they the 3025 versions or the upgrades?

Likely 3025, however there could be a few system enhancements to those ships much like the Sohei equipment at this time. It is entirely reasonable to presume that they may have a run in with a warship and thus precautions are justified.

[Daryk]

Hmmm... DHS are probably too much to ask, but I think a Gauss Rifle or two per ship would be reasonable.  And Artemis, too.

[Takiro]

Agreed

[Daryk]

Dang... I should have asked for point defenses too...  ::)

The Uehara sisters have been flying since they put on their 1st flight suits.

Okay so we pickup the encounter ASAP, with no time.  Good the know

Are their dropships parked?  If so

We should have maps of the Military base, we need to preplan arty strikes on runways.

We need to prep recover teams

We need to send a copy video of the smoked jags fighting back home and to as many planets as possible, 1 to show they can be beat, 2 to show they have no honor.  I recommand ground transport

Also what intel do we have on the Comstar unit here.

The Uehara sisters have been flying since they put on their 1st flight suits.

So teamwork, they most likely can think as 1

[Takiro]

Dang... I should have asked for point defenses too...  ::)

If anyone would like to propose some simple upgrades to the two Achilles, I will entertain modifications.

The Uehara sisters have been flying since they put on their 1st flight suits.

Teamwork goes to the Tennyo easily as another advantage. The Jaguars don't even know the concept.

Are their dropships parked?  If so

We should have maps of the Military base, we need to preplan arty strikes on runways.

Yes, their dropships (Lion and Carrier) are parked. The Carrier is likely lifting off to provide support for the battle. Artillery strikes on runway sound like a good idea but you are currently out of range.

We need to prep recover teams

We need to send a copy video of the smoked jags fighting back home and to as many planets as possible, 1 to show they can be beat, 2 to show they have no honor.  I recommand ground transport

Recovery teams are ready to go, not an issue.

Video copies are already being made of this battle (see the first Trial). On planet we are coordinating with resistance cells and the O5P underground for intel. Special forces are also being moved into place (I am awaiting target recommendations)

Also what intel do we have on the Comstar unit here.

No ComGuard unit is present after Operation Scorpion.


A few more issue for you;

With the rest of the Jag forces mobilizing and presumably headed this way for a grand melee... What forces do we want to meet them with and where? What are we leaving to secure the LZ?

[Daryk]

All righty then!

First, pull all the AC/5s (four of them for 32 tons, plus 4 HS and 16 tons of ammo).
Second, install 2 Gauss Rifles, and upgrade the 2 AC/10s to Gauss Rifles as well (at a cost of 1 ton each, due to heat sinks).
Third, use the remaining 12 tons to install four pairs of Small Lasers (as point defenses) fore, aft, and in each forward wing with the required 8 HS.
This should leave the Achilles with 4 total Gauss Rifles with 4 tons of ammo each, and 2 Small Lasers in each forward arc, plus aft with complete heat neutrality.

Last, pull 7 tons of cargo to add Artemis IV to all seven LRM launchers.

[DOC_Agren]

Where is our LZ to the base they are using

That sounds doable but let me put it through the designer in a day or two to confirm. ;)

Where is our LZ to the base they are using

The base used for the initial Trial is pretty close. Lets say within Long Tom range. Both sides are currently falling back from that location as the Jaguars muster for the ground attack.

[Daryk]

Cool, thanks!

[DOC_Agren]

Okay, swing some of the AA to protect the Long Tom, and begin launching "Harassment" fire at the pirates.

While we recover anything useable from field of battle, and start emergency repairs and reammo of our own.  If this is going down right after, then some of those clan mechs should already have damage and who knows what a Long Tom shell in the right place at their R&R (Rearmor and Reammo) site might cause. 

There will be more to come via private channels  8) later today or tomorrow am

[Takiro]

Great Doc, look forward to it. Thanks so much for your input.

[Daryk]

I expect our stealthy special forces types will be able to pin down coordinates for the various Long Tom shots...  ^-^

[DOC_Agren]

This was the last roster I found, do we hace a complete TOE I missed.

Ok gang, there are three characters currently in the works for the Sohei by Calderon (Oniwaka), Ice Hellion (Mechasenshi), and Bradshaw (Tennyo). Maybe I will try one this weekend as well. Here is the latest roster, enjoy!

SOHEI

Their trademark visors which appear to be one-way mirrors are rumored to be similar to DEST commandos. Also concealed beneath their robes are Ivory Blades which are rarely ever seen. The style of knotting the belt and collar tie indicate the rank of the Sohei. On the battlefield, they wear simple and relatively common combat apparel.

Jak Warren is still with us?  ???

[Takiro]

Negative, my friend. This is the latest roster I have and does not account for the ongoing action.

Killed in Action.

And some equipment is also gone as well. ;)

[Daryk]

Just checking since DOC had called him out as KIA, and your list had him alive...

[Daryk]

Before I forget to ask, was Watanabe able to talk her way back into a 'mech?  None of the four first out of the repair bays had hands, but that just means she has to kick them to death (two kicks/round FTW!).

Yes his spirit is still with us...  but if you see him up and moving around..  SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD BECAUSE HE A U~ōkā

Aika Gunma (Upgrade to the Warhammer IIC)
Catherine Kennedy (Upgrade to the Behemoth)
Katsumi Watanabe (Now reserve pilot, because well you are a medium mech pilot and all we have open is Assault)  Now if we could get the grasshopper fixed that might be a good fit, and i'm sure you could fit a Blazer Cannon on it.

Use Aika Gunma Warhammer to fix the Popcorn Popper3 as a reserve mech

[Daryk]

The Grasshopper is far and away the best fit, but any other 'mech can still kick.  As heavy as they are, that pretty much means she can play "leg 'em and leave 'em" all day long...  >:D
