AAR:
Taking an immediate mission prior to landing, the Lyrans ordered to attack a lunar base with their own units in tow. Our obejctive was to take out 2 buildings to allow for the rest of our unit to land. We all dropped off as close to base as possible. Pilum, being new to the unit and worried his pilots would die from breach, struggled to land with the Firestarter. Fury and Jazz began to take point against active units, while the rest of Alpha and Bravo worked on taking pot shots on "inactive" units. Our bird tried to take out enemy ECM on a Puma, missing the location that had the equipment. Paladin and Lancer began to look for these buildings in question, finding one early on. Lancers sunder went to scan for buildings in the West, only to take a bunch of fire from the turrets and forced a lucky breach in the Crab and breaching both legs in Crusader before returning to the center. Foil pushed up the West to hold a few of their IS chassis back as best as possible, ended up losing a leg on a Dragon, which led to a strategic fall back.
Pilum began to work on building demolition, while Paladin did his best to support the lance. Lancer newly acquired bondsman got a big eager and pushed ahead hard, losing 2 leg actuators before retreating. Fury and Jazz began to slowly push West as numbers in the East began to fell. The battle in the center began to heat up as the opposing units numbers started to rise from units that came from the North. When forces began to push into the South, they heavily ganged up on Paladin Actual, overwhelming his Marauder II in the end. We struggled to find the second building for a bit as they began to chip away at us. Fury's No-dachi helping to clean up once again with the central units. Turrets all routed at this time. Fenris ended up getting far enough back to help rout the lone Black Lanner.
As Paladin, Foil, and Pilum worked on destroying buildings, Lancers units began to help with the 2nd building. The Battle Armor team that came with Lancer started to be harassed by a Nova. With luck, the team was able to take down the unit, suffering 3 losses in the entire lance. enemy forces began to break through the West and started to cripple Pilum when Lancer began to back up the lances. In an attempt to take out a Kingfisher, a Sunder from Lancer pushed up close by, but had a Mad Cat support him. Lucky shots from the Kingfisher ended up breaching the Sunder, killing the pilot in the process. This harsh terrain has left us weakened for a short time, with minimal lost equipment and casualties, we were able to drop the required units and buildings at the last second, securing the base. Lets not have to do this again, if able.
