15 October, 3051
MISSION: Recon Raid (attacker).
RESULT: Victory. Contract Score raised to 2
After-Action Report: A near-textbook operation. Rangers forces entered enemy-held territory from the northeast, pulling a response their way. Reaper, Midnight, and Wolverine performed a delaying action while reconnaissance units scouted to the south, bypassing the committed enemy defense units. Meanwhile, Dragon Lance flanked the enemy around a large hill, completing an encirclement. The FWL forces were shattered, escaping the field with only two functional Mechs. The Rangers took no losses, though several Mechs were hard-hit, particularly Reaper Lance's Orion and Midnight's Shadow Hawk, both with severe engine damage. Two Trebuchets were salvaged, as well as a functionally pristine -3M Battlemaster with its head blown off by MAJ Charikov.
21 October, 3051
MISSION: Recon Raid (attacker).
RESULT: Victory. Contract Score raised to 2
After-Action Report: Rangers forces entered enemy-held territory from the southeast. Wolverine, Crusher, and Dancer Lance performed a delaying action while reconnaissance units scouted to the north, bypassing the committed enemy defense units. Freya Lance took up rear-guard positions while Crusher and Wolverine moved into the town and engaged the defenders. To the southwest, Dancer engaged a light lance in point-blank combat. The Land-Air-Mechs of Crusher and Freya finished their scouting and a general withdrawal was begun, but League heavy and assault-class reinforcements entered the area in a perfect position to cut Crusher and Wolverine lances off from their retreat. It was this eventuality that Freya had prepared for; LT Hartmann isolated and pinned down a League Thunderbolt and Rifleman almost immediately. The heavier elements of Crusher and Dancer lances skirmished with the oncoming League Awesomes, until a freak PPC hit from Dancer's LT Zweibel punched into the cockpit of the League CO's essentially pristine Command Console-equipped Atlas. This turned the battle, instead of conducting a well-organized fighting withdrawal, the Rangers smoothly shifted to the attack, counterattacking into the face of the League forces, which, while well-deployed to cut the Rangers from their line of retreat, had inadvertently divided their own forces into penny-packet lots due to the hilly terrain. The Rangers used their superior mobility to isolate and engage each small group of heavier League Mechs in turn. By the time the League forces fled the field, every League heavy and assault-class Mech - save a single Orion which had tried to chase the LAMs and isolated itself from the battle - was down and either captured or destroyed.

Maybe push me up to XO? I do not mind or care either way, just a thought with both of us having the best of everything mission wise.

If you have the recommendation of your Company Commander, I will discuss it with the senior staff. You’ve been around for one contract. Raw talent is good. Demonstrating character under fire is important as is earning the trust of your fellow Ranger. Others have already tread that road and have earned that opportunity. If a larger command is important to you, I can provide a recommendation to be used on Galatea if you wish.

Let's hold off a couple contracts to prove my mettle then.
-
NOTE: We are required to have a minimum of 5 Scout lances. So as per SoP, Wolverine moves to Scout. This means he's assigned an HR Admin. Ice is now assigned a Logistics Admin instead. Information updated above.

When deployed, yes.

Midnight was able to complete repairs and emergency customization on the Shad by Oct 28. Midnight rotates back to Scout on October 29th and Phoenix rotates back to Defend then.
And then Kronwall is back in charge of Charlie after a week. Congrats. ;)

I thought you needed to stay in a role for a month...

I think it is a week.

Only thing that takes a month to be useful are the admins.

Training is a month in order to get the xp.

Please hold takeoff until tonight.

Should we consider this statement the trigger for end of contract retirement checks, etc.?

Yes.

Lift-off from Cap Rouge will occur Wednesday evening, 15 January (real-time). Make sure you've got everything done, specifically including acquisition checks.
Arrival on Tukayyid will be 18 April, 3052.
Remember that all personnel will advance in age on 1 May. Due to the nature of the contract, any age-related retirements will NOT occur until AFTER the Tukayyid contract has completed. This is a 1-time change from the normal operating procedures.
EDIT: There will be no need to hot-drop on this contract, so DropShip bays need not be assigned. If you want to do customizations or refits and need a DropShip bay, assume one is available.

Rob, the “age related retirements†are specifically at age 60 and 65, correct? All the others are impacted by age, but at least by rules fall into the “ready to move on†category.

Will the XP random bonus still apply when the 5/1 arrives?

Of course. Why would it not?
