Fort Jinjiro
Capra, Draconis Combine
13 May 3048

Orders came down from on high today. The rumors we’ve been hearing regarding stepped up Davion raids is indeed true — Huan, Wapakoneta, and Paris have all been hit in the last month by Davion companies. Seems the Warlord is releasing us to conduct our own probing attacks across the border. Though I am ecstatic beyond words that the Warlord trusts us enough to do this, I am hesitant because I can see the larger game also in play here. We screw up, the Dragon’s cutting us loose. As I figured with that half-assed mission against Smythe and his “Band,” this is more about us proving ourselves worthy of our past more than any recon for the Warlord and his forces.

But before I become bitter, I must remember Uncle Ivan’s words: “Duty before dishonor, that is all our Lord can ask of us. If we fall into dishonor but have done what our duty required of us, then the cosmic scale is balanced and the world will make sense. It may take a few hundred years for that to actually matter, but by then we’ll be dead
anyway.”

So I will cut orders for the Marrakesh Express to prep for loading. We have a job to do. For the Dragon. For our duty. For us.

Attacker deployment:

HER-4k Hermes III 1412 NE
SDR-5K Spider 1301 NE
WTH-1 Whitworth 1312 SE

All right lance .. we're going to do some recon today. I don't know what Davions might be hiding on this blasted deserts, but orders are clear. Check out the place, see if there is anything moving, scan it and get out...

The weather report is consistent - this sandstorm isn't going to end anytime soon. Watch your steps and jumps - that sand is pretty thin and under it are basalt slabs that are as slippery as ice. That goes double for you MacParland.

With all due respect Chu-I ... leave me alone. I'll do my part.

Get over it James, I've seen you dance with Worthless on less slippery ground.

Cut it people... spread over. We move east flanking this hill from the north. Elden you'll flank this hill from the south and keep 300 meters distance. James you stay here. Jasmine after me. Move it people, long jumps and run fast, no mistakes.

You move first. One thing I thought I was to deploy to the edge only. You deployed up to three hexes, do you mind me adjusting my deployment according to the notes below?

Grasshopper 1305 SW
Zeus 1314 NW

Hostile! Not sure what 'Mech it was, but it got some long range gear. That looked like major laser and those weren't flies either.

LRMs boss two fives or single ten. Heavy read on the radar, but not sure either.

Key Jasmine, hide behind that hill to the east. Anything else?

Spider here. I got something as well. Heavy or heavier. I'll check out. James cover me.

It seems I made a mistake last turn in listing the Zeus's movement

I listed W 0815 - 0715 T NW F NW
You can tell this is incorrect as walking from 0815 - 0715 would not require a hex turn.

I should have listed W 0815 - 0716 T NW F NW
