Sorry to whole who couldn't make December 2nd!
Next session: Saturday January 13, noon through 6!
Warrior House Lu Sann has been tasked to conquer Tera Firma in 3066. So far, things are not going according to plan. During insertion, the defenders had far more aerospace assets than the Capellans anticipated, causing the House to become scattered. The first target was the Starport, but the lead company of the House wisely decided to divert to a different target: a nearby satellite control center. Capturing it might yield valuable intelligence, and perhaps create a chance to reconnect with the rest of the unit.
The defenders of the Fist of Mokal were outmatched by the superior skills and numbers of the Warrior House, but benefited from artillery support. They were also able to rapidly redeploy additional lances in support. Despite this, the Warrior House was poised to succeed in their objective, when the Fist called down their artillery directly on the satellite control facility, denying its benefits.
This promises to be a difficult campaign.
Lu Sann disengaged and formed up to hunt down a tertiary target spotted on the way down: a small formation of 'Mechs out in the field. Swiftly inflicting losses on the Fist may yet yield momentum back to the Warrior House. But their challenges are significant. While a platoon of FaShih was able to join them, they still lack contact with the second 'Mech Company, and the rest of the Infantry battalion. Their DropShip has also withdrawn along with the Capellan escorts, making supply and repair a difficult proposition.
But there is hope: there continues to be a dedicated ZhangZheng du Guang resistance movement on planet. And the Fist may find itself regretting the speed with which they destroyed their own assets.
And worst of all for the rebels in control of Terra Firma: they face a Warrior House.
For those who couldn't make it:
Most players will continue to be placed among the Warrior House, which has top-of-the-line Capellan 'Mechs of 3066. Below is the orbat of the command company. That's right, you're getting some really shiny toys.
