On our way to Brzo we encountered a bunch of wolves... Here's our story.
Coming upon a valley, the best way to cross was a bridge. as we started to cross an ah hoc trinary of Wolves decided they would way lay us. Their mission was to stop us from reinforcing the rest of the comguard's 108th army in the city. Well, we were not having that.
I sent my assault lvl II up the middle to be a distraction for the rest of the force. It worked. the trooper lvl II worked in conjunction giving support to the assaults, while the cavalry mechs made a bee line for the bridge.
The wolves were not expecting my tactics. they expected us to engage them from their lofty perch, attacking from the valley. That was not our orders.
The troopers, while supporting the assaults moved toward the bridge. The assaults continued to pound away at the nearly stationary wolves, who only retreated once one had taken too much damage to be replaced from behind with a fresh mech. Once that one too too much damage the previous one moved back up.
The comguard focused their fire on one mech at a time, some times having 12 gauss rifles coming in at a time on one wolf mech. Zel, being broken long ago, the Wolves didn't bother will a single challenge. Focus fire was the word of the battle.
The commander of the Wolf forces was the first casualty of the day, taking a gauss rifle to the head. on the comguard side the Battlemaster, marauder and Thug were taking heavy damage, not able to move quickly enough to escape the massed fire of the Wolves.
The Troopers, making a bee line for the bridge didn't meet any resistance until nearly a minute into the battle when a medium star was dispatched to head them off from escaping. at first the Wolves decided to shoot down the bridge from their lofty perches but thought better of it, being more honorable to meet the comguards in actual combat.
On that side of the battle a Mist Lynx was the first casualty, coming under withering fire power of ER large lasers from the flashman, lrm fire from the bombardier, gauss rifle and lrm from he Excalibur, and er large laser fire from a modified champion.
