Kurita's side was to take control of the battlefield while trying to inflict as much damage to enemy forces as possible. FedCom was in a defensive position trying to repulse the DCMS.
It started off with Kuritans pushing up one flank with the Warhammer, Cyclops and Highlander along with a thrust in the center with the Black Knight, Grasshopper, Wolverine, Spider, Grand Dragon, Jenner and Dervish. Catapult and Mauler taking position on the left flank.
Atlas, Cataphract, Battlemaster, Zeus, Kintaro advance against Catapult and Mauler. Axman, P.hawk, Firestarter advance towards Highlander. Marauder, Griffin, Archer and T.bolt stay back on hills to provide long range fire support.
Catapult advances to try and draw in the mechs advancing towards him. Wolverine, Jenner and Dervish engage Cataphract, P.hawk and Firestarter at close range. Firestarter takes 2 gauss rifles in the back and is cored. Jenner is taken down by a combination of blistering fire from Archer & company and a kick from the P.hawk. Catapult takes massive damage from the Atlas and Battlemaster and falls after being kicked by Battlemaster.
Catapult tries to disengage with Black Knight, Grasshopper, Spider, Wolverine and Grand Dragon trying to screen with Warhammer, Highlander, Cyclops and Mauler providing covering fire. Black Knight becomes new target for FedCom and takes serious damage. Catapult and Black Knight shutdown and are finished off the next turn.
Meanwhile the Atlas has been soaking up a devastating amount of fire. It suffered several through-armor critical from the Mauler that took out both hips. The Atlas had 250 points of armor shredded, both arms blown off and sustained 2 gyro hits and the pilot dying to multiple pilot injuries from head hit and multiple ammo explosions efore finally being rendered combat ineffective; I have house rules that make ammo explosions less deadly.
Battlemaster moved to engage the Mauler and proceeded to pummel it with weapons fire and physical attacks. Eventually it took the Mauler's leg off. The Axman finally got into close range and attacked the Warhammer doing some damage but was almost cored in 1 turn due to some accurate shooting from the Warhammer, Cyclops and Highlander. Kintaro caused a couple engine hits to the Mauler.
Battlemaster then switched targets to the Grand Dragon and managed to take off one if its legs. It was at this point we called the game due to time constraints.
In summary, the FedCom completely lost the Axman and Firestarter with the Atlas suffering crippling damage. For House Kurita, the Jenner, Catapult, Black Knight and Warhammmer were complete losses with the Mauler and Grand Dragon being captured. This was a decisive victory for the Fedcom.
However, a different FedCom company has come under attack where it appears Kurita has focused it main effort to try and break through the center in a classic divide and conquer strategy. So the outcome of that fight will determine if the company that fought today will either press the advantage for a counter attack or if they will have to provide assistance to their fellow comrades giving them an chance to regroup.
