NORTH

SOUTH

Maps
Heavy Woods 1.........Open Terrain 3
Mountain Lake..........River Valley

Deployment
Falcon Primary OPFOR: Enter the board on the South board edge on their initiative on Turn 1.

Falcon OPFOR Reinforcements: Enter the board on the South board edge on their initiative on Turn 7.

Ranger Forces:  Deploy within 3 hexes of the north board edge.



Environmental Conditions
Dusk: +1 to hit with all weapons fire and physical attacks from Turn 1 to Turn 8.  Searchlights have no effect on Dusk/Dawn.  Beginning on Turn 9, Full Moon Night is in effect (searchlights DO have an effect).

Heavy Rain: +1 to hit with all weapons fire and physical attacks; +1 penalty to all Piloting Skill Rolls.  Beginning on Turn 5, Mud rules (TacOps pg 50) are in effect.  Beginning on Turn 1, Rapids rules (TacOps pg 50) are in effect for all Depth 1+ water hexes

Battlefield Support
None

Victory Conditions
Rangers
1) Destroy, force the withdrawal of, or render incapable of spending MP, 3 total units from the Primary OPFOR Force
2) Suffer no more than 2 mechs rendered incapable of spending MP, including the liaison.


OPFOR
1) Destroy, or render incapable of spending MP, at least 3 Ranger units, including the liaison.
2) Suffer fewer than 4 Mechs in the primary OPFOR destroyed or rendered incapable of spending MP

MISCELLANEOUS
1) Exiting the battlefield requires a unit to remain stationary at the board edge for 1 turn.  Only a single spent MP is required to move offboard (ie, the environmental MP penalties doesn't apply; or, more specifically, the Minimum Movement rule overrides it). 

2) OPFOR MechWarriors will ignore any ejected Ranger or Allied MechWarriors in this scenario. 

3) Jade Falcon Clan Mechwarriors will not use zellbringen when targeting mercenaries, though they will not make physical attacks (they may use the Dodge SPA).  They will still use zellbringen when declaring attacks against all Lyran units, but may exit the duel freely if another unit interferes.  If three duels are canceled in this manner, the Jade Falcon units may ignore zellbringen totally, against all units, including making physical attacks.

Thanks.  With the solo, if I can get at least some of the mechs when you're done painting them so I can use them/proxy, that would be good.  I know that you said it's the week after Christmas.  If you can let me know roughly when you expect that to be done I'll plan the solo accordingly and/or decide I'll just proxy out of my existing units.

AAR - Sept 7, 3061 - VICTORY
Commanding: Major Anders Wolfram Kelswa

AAR
While out on patrol we came across a binary of Clan forces that was moving into our operations zone, likely looking for us.  Heavy rain and fading light made things challenging.  I deployed my lance to come up over the northwest hill and started sniping at the slowly advancing forces.  Apparently unaccustomed to resistance the Falcon forces probed, maneuvered and pulled back all while remaining largely within the southwest portion of the OZ.  Price and I quickly took out the Uller, before following up shortly after with dropping the Loki having cooked off a couple ammo bins.  As they seemed more cautious than many of their ilk I pressed forward with Rosado's Grasshopper and Lee's Cauldron-Born jumping into their midst, inflicting damage and pulling out, taking minimal damage in return.  The environmental conditions working in our favor.

It was about this time that a star's worth of reinforcements showed up and they started advancing though cautiously.  We made them pay for it dropping the Cougar through focused fire and with Trick blowing the head off the Puma.  That ended up killing two pilots as it had picked up the Cougar's pilot just before.  The ferocity of the attack and pulling back into a line coincided with night falling.  There may have been a full moon out, but it was hazy light through the heavy rain.  Shots even at close range didn't hit often given terrain and movement.  Their second Loki turned a search light on initially focusing on our Cauldron-Born before switching to Trick's Marauder that had been hidden in the woodline and simply sniping from there.  It was dense enough to limit sight and contact against the southwest most forces.  Knowing the spotlight could cause us serious problems I ordered the team to burn that Loki down and down it went with me finishing that one off as well.  Perhaps incensed by our success and the limited amount of damage taken, they pushed at us in earnest.

They would eventually wash over us, but by then their line was broken.  It devolved into smaller close engagements and duels, it being too hard to target to focus too much.  The liaison officer we'd kept safe behind the hill until they came over it.  While Melanokos took some damage, he dished it out too, legging the Dasher.  Which Lee closed on and finished off.  I ran down the Stormcrow managing to charge it once successfully, and we'd opened structure on it.  He fled, trying to get away from me by running into the river which of course was a mass of rapids.  It swept the Stormcrow off its feet and he drowned.  The mech was salvageable at least.  The Koshi was the first to break from our engagement through the northern edge of the OZ with the remainder of their forces attempting to do likewise. 

In the end we took down a Thor, 2 Loki,Uller, Puma, Dasher and Hunchback IIC.  The Ryoken died fleeing, no clear kill there.  Rosado's Grasshopper saw the worst of it with some gyro and engine damage, as well as a hand and medium laser to replace not to mention a three areas of structural damage.  The ER LL was damaged, but repairable.  Otherwise Trick's Marauder took some structural damage to it's left arm but the rest is just armor across the board.  Lee got a bit scraped up and I've sent her over to the Doc to get checked out.  Wouldn't surprise me if she's cleared for duty tomorrow.

All in all, a good days work and nice to be able to give a bit of payback to the clans for what they've done to my family and the Commonwealth.

Kills
Kelswa & Price - Uller & both Loki (5 XP each)
Rosado - Cougar (3 XP)
Trick - Puma, Thor & Hunchback IIC (5 XP)
