Sorry about the delay, guys. For those of you who didn't make it to the first game of the campaign, things didn't go well for the Bears. Though the Bears made planetfall, it was mostly by sheer weight of force. The Horse aerospace forces put up a tenacious defense, forcing many Bear dropships to divert to alternative landing zones. Though only a small handful of ships were lost the disruption of the Bears deployment is significant.
I'll post the scenario for this week when I get home, including available forces. You guys will have an entire cluster to choose from when building your bids. Just keep in mind that we'll need to have the bid locked in before Sunday so Weirdo and I can assemble minis. The scenario will be randomly generated but properly flavored so we'll just have to wait and see what the dice have in store for us!
And yes in the future I will do my utmost to get these AARs and briefings up on Monday or Tuesday.
important edit:
further expanding on the results for the first mission, the Horses managed to destroy more than 2/3rds of the Bears forces while loosing about 1/3rd of their own. both forces managed the First Contact objective, which nets +200 VP for the Bears and Horses both. the Horses also hit the A Hotly Disputed Matter objective, worth another 200 VP. that means that the end net result is 200 VP for the Horses, as well as +1 to the Horses initiative until the mission track Chop and Change. In addition, the Horses get two airstrikes that can be used at any time. this isn't per mission, its total.
