my striker has guardian ecm  :D

my bonds man and i have talked his former comrades have a cluster worth of equipment

i actually respect the fact that he did not give specifics, it shows he has honor and is not a turn coat it makes me trust him even more then i have been

he has a point i would trust him much less if he gave specifics and betrayed his former group.

[Devondra]

A follow-up to my last post: If this is who I think they are, perhaps you should bring the Piranha and pilot to the fight.  We could use him to to try to convince the pirates to become our bondsmen.
 

also remember my bondsman did not volunteer i captured him and offered bondsman ship to him which he accepted. dont know if any other clanners would just become bondsman without the capture part lol

[Devondra]

  Also, could you ask the Governor if she has any ISF personnel on planet skilled in interrogation that she trusts?  It might be an idea to extract everything we can from "Bully".

i believe the Governor already took Bully and i believe he is still badly injured , i dont think he is even awake yet i know he took alot of head hits etc

im sure if the governor decides to share information she will lol after all we work for her to protect the planet

ok i have studing to do so i run the c3 network correctly will check boards again before bed

If he's our bondsman, then he is a member of our "clan", not his former clan.  His loyalty should be to us.  Do they have a cluster of warriors to go with that equiptment?

[shadhawk]

When the clans take a bondsman they do not look for that warrior to give intelligence on their old clan. He did show he is part of your "clan" by telling you they have a cluster of equipment. Push for more and trust with him will become a problem. He has held himself to clan honor evnitnot having  a clan any more.

[jimdigris]

Ok.

[IronbornGreyjoy]

So how did the battle go?  And what was the final damage report?

Dave

[jimdigris]

They came to see the Governor.  We turned them back literally at her doorstep, but paid a price. Crash was the field commander.  He won the first two initiative rolls, and blew every roll after that until the last turn.  Consequently, my Fireball is scrap.  My Saladin, his Pegasus and Schiltron are all imobilized until they can be repaired.  And his Wolverine will be walking around with a wooden leg until that can be repaired.  Devondra was relatively unscathed.

[shadhawk]

How bad was you Archer ripped up?

[IronbornGreyjoy]

Tony, I came up with an in-game reason for why my forces weren't there to fight the clanners.  I'm going to run it by you and see if you like it.

     My Marauder, Wolverine and Fa Shih BA were remaining in Hilo City on patrol until the planetary militia relieved us.  What if we were told to stay where we were by the Gov since she didn't have any troops to spare and that the rest of the Ironborn were told to stand by on base defense in case the Clanners got past the others?  It puts Col. Greyjoy and Co. out of the battle and doesn't automatically put us in the doghouse with the Governor considering it was her HQ that was nearly stomped.

Tell me what you think.

Dave

[jimdigris]

How bad was you Archer ripped up?

Left arm: No armor, 2pts of endosteel left
Right arm: Missing 11 pts of armor
Center torso: Missing 14 pts of armor
Left torso: Missing 4 pts of armor
Left leg: Missing 8 pts of armor
Right leg: Missing 9 pts of armor

[shadhawk]

Dave
I have your unit covered for the no show. You people had to wait on transport. Your unit unit showing at the point we had to call it a night. With fresh units showing at that point it time the bandits had to retreat. Keep an eye for the next part of the story ;-)

[ObnoxiousTwerp]

(Sigh)

If additional medical assistance is needed at this battle site, Dr. Musashi and her medics are willing to respond.  In view of the extreme distance, transporting the MASH is probably not possible, but she does have experience in triage and improper treatment areas.

the good Dr. is needed more were she is at this point. Hilo has a much greater need.

as for the castle defenders no one was KIA. 3 vehicle crews are banged up and I think 3 MechWarriors from head hits and 1 lost a Mech.

[jimdigris]

How long will it take to fix the Archer?
Was a gauss rifle shot off the Shadow Cat and left behind?

[shadhawk]

How long will it take to fix the Archer?

4 days in the one for the mech bays. It will take 1/2 a day to get to the one at the base you are in.

Was a gauss rifle shot off the Shadow Cat and left behind?

Yes

[shadhawk]

The team should give each other what damage they have. Units with armor only damage can be repaired in the field. Units with internal damage will have to go to one of the bays. The bay at your main base has 1 Owens in it and 1 waiting to get in.  Vehicles with internal will need to go to one of the base vehicle bays for repair. Injured Much pilots, infantry and vehicle crews will need hospital time.

[jimdigris]

Will Crash be claiming the gauss rifle?
Can I repair the Archer and Saladin at my base?  How hard will it be to get parts for the Saladin given that there is nothing really high tech and it is manufactured in the Combine?

[shadhawk]

Will Crash be claiming the gauss rifle?

That is up to him

Can I repair the Archer and Saladin at my base?  How hard will it be to get parts for the Saladin given that there is nothing really high tech and it is manufactured in the Combine?

Yes. You have the light structure mechbay and you also have vehicle bays. When the engine parts for your Alacorn arrive it will have to take one for the repairs.
Getting the parts is not the problem. The money and time for them to make planet and to install them is the fun.

[shadhawk]

Delta Transport lead to Nejiro control we have major problems with our load cables and can not get one part of the Mech force to the castle. over
Control to Delta transport do what you have to and get them on the field. over
Roger Control. Delta Transport to tech support get some personal to the old base ASAP.
Tech support to Delta transport can you give us some details on the problem.
Delta to tech the load cables are all jammed around the drums and we can not move the at all.
Tech to Delta we will get teams out with new drum sets. repairs will take about 10 to 20 minuets from when we get on site.
Delta to tech get you butts out here now, the Lady needs the units on the field.

In orbit around Nejiro space station the commander of the DCS Heaven's Eagle watches the battle at the castle and not liking what is happening on the battle field.
Tai-i Tanaka take us into orbit of the planet.
Sir we were told to guard the station.
Tai-i the other DropShips can do that while we move to the planet. The Governor need help on the ground.
