    Let's pool some intel and try to figure out what our enemies have got. Here's what Delta lance encountered:

    Shadow Hawk SHD-2K (heavy damage)
    Grand Dragon DRG-5K
    Wolverine WVR-6K (dead)
    Trebuchet (can't remember variant)
    Shilone Aerospace (FCS damage)

    Alpha got:

    Victor (dead)
    Battlemaster (damaged leg actuator)
    Charger
    Hatamoto-Chi

    Beta went against:

    Orion (engine crit)
    Marauder(severly damaged)
    Warhammer (heavy damage)
    Archer

    Gamma/2nd Co Tanks opposed:

    4 AC20 Hetzers (2 destroyed)

    3rd Co:

    4 Manticore Heavy Tanks. PPC, LRM10, and SRM6
    1 Bulldog a LRM 20 and I think some short range stuff.

    1 Manticore total destruction
    1 Manticore crew ejected with no engine, armor, or tracks before we could finish him off.
    1 Manticore retreated with engine and track damage
    Other Manticore and Bulldog retreated with no damage.

    4 Manticore Heavy Tanks. PPC, LRM10, and SRM6

    Results ---
    3 Manticores total destruction
    Other Manticore retreated with no damage.

    2nd CO Beta Lance:

    Enemy forces:
    3 Hetzers destroyed
    1 Hetzers surviving

    ENEMY MECH BREAKDOWN
    ASSAULT (destroyed):4(1)

    That Battlemaster has a damaged Leg Actuator as well. His speed is marginally reduced.

    The Charger that Alpha faced should not to be taken lightly. It carries an AC20 and SRM6s. It is strongly advised to keep your distance if you encounter it. The Battlemaster has been customized. It appears to be heavily based off the 1G model but swapped out the SRM rack for LRMs and is jump capable. The pilot is a crack shot. Watch yourself around him.

    Hidden infantry elements within Thule City have identified a ronin Sentinel we have yet to encounter. This likely confirms the presence of at least one more lance of enemy mechs.

    There are also sightings of enemy heavy armor operating within the capital as well although specifics have yet to be determined.

    Reports are now coming in that the Ronin appear to be operating Shilone fighters exclusively, although numbers are still sketchy for now.

    Ringsbo is being sacked by heavy hover elements estimated to be a company in strength.

    I believe the shilone has more than damage to its FCS, as it suffered a landing gear critical and would have to belly land. Also, if I recall correctly the Trebuchet had 2 LRM 15's and 2-3 Medium lasers.

    Just engaged the heavy lance. Only a skirmish, but the warhammer lost it's right arm and most of the armor from its right leg. The Orion and Archer were still pretty fresh, but the marauder took a little more sandpapering.

    I'm torn between laughing at four heavy mechs running from tanks and cursing at the fact they got away.

    Yeah, you guys in 1st Company scared them pretty good. They won't likely engage you in open terrain again unless we force their hand (which we can, just not yet). Be wary of Aerospace btw. It is likely they will make you a priority target if they see you exposed. We will of course try to protect you from them.

    The Orion was pretty fresh but that through armor critical on his engine fixed that. I don't think the Archer was touched.

    That's one reason why we have a flak cannon in the mix! :)

    Combat... in the city? With me in a Hatchetman?

    Yes please. Make that a thing.

    Also, Mags, what happened with that Shilone who had to bellyland? Since I damaged his gear, I totally get the kill if he crashed. ;)

    2nd Company, Gamma Lance pushed into Hawick and encountered ronin Hetzer units. Two were destroyed, but two are still functional. Thule regional command believes they may actually be Thule militia units that were captured and re-purposed by the ronin within the first few days of their initial raid on the capital. It is unknown how many they obtained intact, but it is possible they might have as many as roughly a dozen. :unamused:

    It's not like the 1st Hussars to be sleeping on the job like that....

    The 1st Hussars weren't sleeping. These were militia units. Not terribly well equipped nor trained, but it's not like the ronin just found a giant stockpile of them either. Far more likely they were disabled in some way that allowed the ronin to get them operational again.

    And remember these are just the reports... possibilities... not factual data. We don't know how many they have exactly nor do we know how many are deployed to Hawick and how many are in Thule City, but it is good to expect the worst, is it not? Hetzers are not all powerful anyway. They have huge blind spots, are slow, and are limited to moving in open ground. Get in behind them and they are screwed. Mechs with JJs will have an easy time with them.

    I say we just send Dhim in to hunt them down one by one. We'll just wait here :)
