Objectives:
My obejctives:

get guys off the Far side of the table (to recon a taget for later)
The Bear objectives:
Kill/Cripple half Drac forces
Kill Drac commanders
Turn 1The Dracs forces enter the combat zone. The Bears remain concealed.
Turn 2Having seen where the DCMS forces where concentrating the Bears sprang to life. And left their hidden areas and closed on the enemy.
The DCMS continue to advance with a Hill between them and the main bear forces.
Turn 3The Bears keep on closing the gap. While the Shadowcat remains in its woods and attempts to Boresight upon the Wight.
The Huntsman pegs the Wight.
While the DCMS focus on the Summoner. Thanks to the Pegasus providing targeting data. Which bravely parks itself behind a hill safe from return fire. Then Fires upon a squad f Sylph killing one of the troopers. Who are making desperate attempts to hit the Hiryo.
Turn4After a bit of an argument between the unit commander and the BA they reluctantly agree to try and close down the Pegasus.
It does Zip around them. But the detour left it in range for the Huntsman who managed to take out the drive system Immobilizing it.
The Stooping Hawk manages to pump the heat of the Marauder to a staggering 15 extra points.
The Kabuto takes fire from the Summoner but stays kicking. The Trebuchet takes enough of a pounding to be knocked off its feet.
And the Hiryo continues it beeline for the city.
After copping that he has Left the Dracs a gap they can get around his weapon through. Mechwarrior Russell gives up Boresighting and sends a Volley skyward.
Turn 5The Hiryo is gone. Off to the city to wreak havoc.
And remember that Arrow shot the Shadowcat Unleased.
It was aimed for the Hex to the right side of the Marauder. Unfortuantly Russell may have been a little excitable at the controls and the shot falls short onto the Poor Grizzly who was minding his own business lining up shots on the Avatar.
The Bears push to the close the gaps the DCMS are running through. The Trebuchet stands and makes a run but with its slower movement. It become Target of choice for a high percentage of the bears. The incoming fire takes it toll on the mech and wrecks its vital engine and gyro.
The Dracs spreed their fire over the bears mechs to little major affect.
The Summoner puts the loyal Pegasus crew to the test by stepping on the front compartment. They die a Gooey paste Loyal to the Dragon
The Kabuto makes it dash for the mountain. It looks unlikely that it will be caught.
The Summoner puts the loyal Pegasus crew to the test by stepping on the front compartment. They die a Gooey paste Loyal to the Dragon
Turn 6The Sylph catch up with the Wight. And attempt to hack the Bone on his leg. But fail in the task.
The Avatar and Marauder set up firing line on the Summoner and strip most of the mechs torso armor from it.
The Shadow Cat lobs a shell towards them but it has little effect as it explodes between them.
But the combine Stooping Hawk, Summoner and Grizzly fire takes out one of the Marauders arms.
And the Huntsman is looking at a longshot on the Kabuto.Who is about to Crest the mountain into safety.
Two Large Pulse later and the Kabuto looses a torso and that vital Engine leaving it rubble atop the mountain range.
AftermathWe ran out of time here. But at this stage based on points the game was a Draw. So we quickly played out the Huntsman chasing down the Wight.
While the rest of the bears held off the remaining DCMS troops.
The Wight was chased for 2 more turns before the Huntsman dealt it a death blow. Making it a Marginal Victory for the Bears side.
There was much debate over just how the fight between the
Marauder,Avatar and LRM Carrier Vs the Summoner,Shadow Cat, Stooping Hawk,Grizzly and remaining Slyph would have gone down.
But that was not important. :)
