AAR:
Rangers coming in from the South a Trinary of Bears in a blitz position. Lancer and tanks coming in from the East, Wyrm in the West, with Foil and Jazz in the center. While setting up a line, a satellite in orbit was transmitting a signal that our employer asked to decipher. The signal swayed to the West, but was in line of enemy ECM, making it harder to to get anywhere. While trying to find a position to drop off friendly battle armor, friendly Bandits were disabled, one from a shot in the rear, and one from skidding into trees. Lancer facing off against 4 units alone. Wyrm in the West had poor positioning and took heavy damage. After enemy Ebon tried to assist in killing local liaison, turning its back on Lancer, ended up getting cored, exploding, and taking out friendly Gray Death unit.
Our ASF began to target the enemy ECM and helped ensure they got routed with fair damage, while 2 birds were used intercept enemy fire, which was primarily used against our liaison. Foil was able to break through after all ECM was cleared from the scanning area with Owens. Wyrm ended up trying to push and ended up taking massive damage on COs Barghest. Fury came in to help with scanning, but did not realize the zone ended up on other end of the combat zone near Lancer, who was struggling to find a position. Lancers Huntsman got surrounded and took heavy damage. Lancer made a bad call and forgot which of his units had equipment to make it easier to scan and used wrong unit. During this time Jazz brought his LAM in to help scan as well and had pilot killed. Wyrm and Foil began to pull back from focused fire with Jazz and Fury cleaning up units on that end.
In a mad dash, Lancer, Fury, and Jazz threw multiple mechs into the scanning zone to try and complete this objective as fast as possible. Lancers Demolisher was destroyed in the process trying to keep up as a target for units on that side. After grabbing the objective, the lances decided that leaving at least 5 mechs on the field for our enemy to take, we ended up routing the starting forces as fast as possible. Slowly chipping away at their forces until all 15 mechs were downed. It was a hard fought victory to get the field. All Ranger assets recovered, along with a healthy mix of equipment from the enemy.
