Prior to Turn 1
Turn 1 saw the Clan Stinger and Exterminator focus on the Hunchback, the Imp focus on the Kintaro and the Phoenix Hawk focus on the Hoplite. Meanwhile the Kintaro spotted for the Catapult and Archer on the Imp while firing, the Awesome, Marauder, Warhammer fired all their PPCs at the Imp as the Catapult and Archer indirectly fired their LRMs at the Imp; the Hunchback fired his AC20 at the Exterminator and the Hoplite returned PPC fire at the Phoenix Hawk.
Most of the missiles missed the Imp, but the PPCs found their mark. The Hunchback fell due to damage.
After Turn 1
Turn 2 saw the Awesome score a 3x crit against the center torso of the Imp hitting 2 engines and 1 gyro. The Catapult slipped in the rubble as it tried to move back away from the Exterminator. After suffering significant more damage, needing a pilot check of 7, the Imp falls in the woods but is dangerously riding the heat curve after the 2 engine hits and has its ammo explode blowing out its torso; fortunately it had CASE but the pilot passes out from the neuroshock.
After Turn 2
Turn 3 saw the Hunchback run over and aim at the center torso of the Imp at point blank range, destroying it with another engine critical. The Warhammer caught the Stinger from the rear with a PPC blast to the left torso, destroying its XL Engine.
After Turn 3
Turn 4 saw the remaining Clan forces hide in the north portion of the map, cooling off.
After Turn 4
Turn 5 saw the Kintaro suffer 2 ammo explosions due to crits, destroying his left torso and his XL Engine despite CASE, meanwhile the pilot also blacks out from the neurofeedback. The Griffin falls down due to damage.
After Turn 5
Turn 6 saw the Catapult finally get up after 4 tries to stand. The Awesome, Warhammer and Catapult manage to savage and obliterate the Exterminator (the Archer tried to help with his lasers but failed)
After Turn 6
Turn 7 saw the Hunchback trying to reach the Griffin to go for a kill shot with his AC 20, but slipped while running on pavement and slid off the map. The Catapult and Archer indirectly fire at the Griffin, while the Marauder lays into it with its PPCs and AC 5.
After Turn 7
Turn 8 saw the Griffin cored by indirect missile fire, forcing an engine explosion which also damaged the Marauder slightly. The Hoplite tries to corner and kick the Phoenix Hawk.
After Turn 8
Turn 9 saw the Phoenix Hawk trying to withdraw from combat while trading PPC shots with the Warhammer.
After Turn 9
Turn 10 sees the Phoenix Hawk jump off the map in full retreat.
The Nation of Hastur held the line for the moment, but the sleeping giant of the Ghost Bear will not be stopped now that it has been awoken.
Eventually the city would fall, after much hard fighting.
