11-22-3046 After Action Report
Bright Lance was sent to find and recon an abandoned town that the unit had heard about but didn’t have an exact location. Due to the battle on 11-19-3046, Bright Lance only had 3 units available to deploy, 2 were from its reserves. Mech assignments were as follows: Lt. Brightsword in the Phoenix Hawk, Sgt. Dubos in the Trebuchet, and Sgt. Spears in the Blackjack. They didn’t have the exact location of the town so the 3 of them was spread out to cover more ground. Sgt. Spears was the one to locate the town. As he sent the location to the rest of lance, he got a warning alarm on his sensors of a mech approaching fast from the far side of the town. Sgt. Spears radioed Lt. Brightsword about the incoming mech and proceeded to move into area to get a positive ID. As he got a positive ID that the mech was a Draconis Trebuchet, the incoming mech pilot identified himself as Hitomi Snow and challenged Sgt. Spears to combat. Sgt. Spears entered from the west side of town and Hitomi Snow from the east. Sgt. Spears realized he had the advantage at longer ranges and worked to keep some distance. The Draconis pilot tried to close and maneuver to get close and force Sgt. Spears into the open but Sgt. Spears stayed close to a cluster of buildings to use them as some cover. This worked well for Sgt. Spears because it seemed that Hitomi Snow’s targeting systems was out of calibration and was shooting low. The buildings soaked up a lot damage intended for Sgt. Spears. ¾ of the way through this cat and mouse game, Hitomi Snow was able to get into position to force Sgt. Spears into the open but Sgt. Spears was able to destroy Hitomi Snows right torso which housed his PPC and med lasers, only weapons remaining were 3 SRM 4’s. Shortly after Hitomi Snow moved quickly into short range of his SRM’s. Sgt. Spears saw an opportunity and let loose with everything he had and nearly took the left torso off Hitomi Snows Trebuchet. Hitomi Snow couldn’t keep his mech standing. He quickly got his mech up and backed away so Sgt. Spears wouldn’t be able to get behind him. Sgt. Spears feeling the heat rising in his mech decided to stand still and fired both PPC’s which finished taking the left torso and remaining weapons from Hitomi Snows mech ending the battle.
Sorry for delay. Took a bit of time to work with Lucas to write this.
