We ran a front line Omni star of Clan Wolf vs a second line star of Clan Ghost Bear. Clan Wolf was the attacker. Zellbringen was not used. This was a straight up last man surviving wins!
The Board.
The Forces.
View from the Ghost Bears side of the field.
The first few turns were all movement as terrain severely limited LOS. The Pack Hunter moves ahead of the rest of the GB star.
The Grizzly and Highlander IIC trade shots with the Puma. Neither side connecting. The Kodiak's move up to engage the Timber Wolf and Nova Cat.
The Timber Wolf wisely backs up but the Summoner wants to play!
The Summoner lays some serious hurt to the rear armor of one of the Kodiak's. Taking little damage in return.
Things start to get up close and personal. The Grizzly has taken serious damage and is immobile due to Gyro damage. The Pack Hunter has completed it's flanking run but took some serious damage in the process.
The Grizzly is history, the Highlander IIC steps up to replace it on the hill. The Timber Wolf, Nova Cat and Mad Dog savage one of the Kodiak's while the other keeps its back to the hill to protect its rear armor.
The Nova Cat overheats and gets knocked down. The Timber Wolf takes an A/C 20 round to the head and the while the Kodiak loses a leg due to an ammo explosion. The Vulture takes severe damage from the other Kodiak, and gives it right back. Both mechs are eliminated next turn. The Pack Hunter had lost a leg and the Thor jumped in behind it and finished it off.
The Highlander IIC is all that remains of the GB forces. The Summoner and Puma remain for CW. The Summoner has taken some heavy damage by this point and without it's Gauss rifle.
The Summoner tries for a Death from Above. The Highlander misses with most of its shots. The Summoner ultimately is unsuccessfully.
The Puma is steadily closing range on the Highlander. The Summoner backs off and waits for the Puma as it is down to it SRM6 rack as its only weapon. By this time the Highlander has taken some moderate damage losing its left arm arm.
The game ends with the Highlander taking out both the Summoner and the Puma. The Highlander loses its left torso and takes two engine hits but is the only mech left standing.
It was a great game with lots of damage done. We had 6 of 10 mechs go out with engine hits. The Kodiak's are brutal up close and can soak up a lot of damage.
Variants used:
CW - Puma Prime, Mad Dog Prime, Summoner A, Nova Cat Prime, and Timber Wolf D. All pilots were 2/3.
GB - Pack Hunter, Grizzly, Highlander IIC, Kodiak, and Kodiak 3. All pilots were 3/2.
