After StCptMara posted this in the Non Cannon Forum.

Ningpo:
The Urbanmech Cavalry have been tasked with running interference for the main forces making the Republics trust against House Ijori. The UC target are the guts of a company which are located in an industrial area well behind the main body of troops.
They are to prevent them from leaving the area so they are unable to reinforce any of the other units we are hitting today.
Using Leopards not assigned to the main battle. The UC are transported to the dropsite.
Chosing to drop the Artilly unit outside the combat zone along with Zippy himself for protection. We also used Minimal arms and Low Profile for all the urbies involved.
As We lack 12 Urbies. We managed to scrap together 3 Staring as the AC20 ones.
Plus the IIC version.
The Arrow VI Urbies Shall be Played this evening by the Piranhas.
The RAC Urbies HunchBacks & Enforcer.
The LB-X Urbies By the Centurons
And the MRM Urbies by Stingers
The Liao forces Consited of
Hammer
Hammer
Clint
Battlehawk
Vindicator
Vindicator
BlackJack
Cataphract
Hercules
Thunder
Turn 1The LB-X Lance Drops around the Buildings in an attempt to deny any good shots. Only the Hammer gets shots off. All going wide.
The Arrow VI lance arrives and sets up in a nice safe position.
2 of the Liao mechs leave the city moving towards the Arty lance.
Turn 2The Rac Lance arrives. And the First lance open up on an unfortunate Vindicator. Stripping him of a chunk of armour.
The first round of arty is launched. The command Urbie takes return fire.
Turn 3The MRM Lance arrives. And attempts to hinder the advance of the Hercules.
The incoming Arty smashes a building allowing the Blackjack to take some shots this turn.
Captain Zippy puts himself between the incoming mechs and the Arty lance. His shots managing to open the Clints arm.
The UC's bunch together and focus on the other Vindicator and Hercules. And manage to knock the Hercules on its ass. Unfortuantly a Thunder shows the an Urbie what it is like to be on a receiving end of an AC 20. Putting him down Hard.
An Urbie recieves a taste of it's own medicine.
Turn 4The arty is a little better this turn. Landing around the Vindicator and Cataphract.
The Hercules gets back up and attempts to escape though the Building. He is quickly followed by two urbies. The fire fails to put him down. The resulting Kick sends the first urbie to the repairbay.
A Vindicator loses his PPC and one of the Rac Urbies Suffers a Jam.
The Thunder and blackhawk take out one of the LB X Urbies. But return fire adds a second AC 20 to the Thunders right side. Killing it by taking the torso off.
The Battlehawk takes the brunt of Zippies firepower.
Turn 5The Incoming Arty takes out an unlucky Hammer. And the lance changes tactics to Direct fire and Blast the clint back to the 1st succession wars. Taking off two limbs and hitting the warrior within for five pionts of damage.
The Hercules takes safety in a hardened building. Leaving those around it unable to actually hurt it.
The Vindicator gets smacked around and ends up face first in the pavement. A Rac Urbie ends up needing a large repair bill.
Zippy Finishes off the Battlehawk
Turn 6All alone the Hammer attempts to flee And only suffers minor armor Damage.
The Hercules leaves the buildings safety as the UC attempt to bring it down on his head. He manages to take the AC from the urbie on front of him.
The Cataphract has similar luck removing an LB-X this turn.
The Vindicator has loses his other arm.
And the Urbies begin a game of chase around the city.
Turn7Free of harassing units. The Arty lance use their remain shots to ruin the Cataphracts day. While the rest of the the UC continue to try and chase the Hercules further into the city.
Things didn't look too good for the liao forces. With the remaining Hammer caught between both sides and opting to take the easy route out.
A win for the UC but a heck of a repair bill at the end of it. I hope they have good compensation in their contract.
