    Well I'm not available until 9:30 est (5:30pst) since I work an 8-5 out here.

    Luxan, would moving times work better for you? I'll need to know today if we are going to change the times on magnus

    7:30pm Central (5:30 Pacific, 8:30 Eastern) would be fine with me.

    If we can find a time for you to all drop together, that would be prefered. If you can all drop 9:30pm est on Fri, let's aim for that.

    Good for you Smokey, you deserve a break, and it gives you an hour to get drunk before driving your tank in to sword slashing range. :D

    We lost a couple tanks today to soften the city. Not exactly a fair trade, two Pattons for two AC20 Hetzers. But at least there are two less AC20s dug into the city.

    hmmm.make certain you post what you saw in the confirmed ronin forces thread. The important thing is we prevented them from breaking out and engaging the other cities.

    Agreed, hopefully we can keep them bottled in and contained long enough to at least wipe this group out.

    They had a tough fight and did 2nd Company proud. Hetzers are a pain in the ass to deal with in the city.

    Just a quick wrap-up for the week:

    We've harassed the enemy heavy mech lance and traded blows with a tank destroyer company and actually come at on top - which is great given that MBTs usually get reamed by tank destroyers. We are currently down three A1 pattons, with armor damage here and there. Magnus is working out the details of salvage, but at the moment I'm expecting to roll a patton from our damage gamme lance to beta (to bring it up to strength) and fill our gamma as much as possible from salvage or 'other sources'. I want to tank Luxan and Steelbear for what has been a busy week for us - and for Magnus for offering advice and support (even if we gleefully ignore it on occasion :D )

    As part of the northern attack group I'd say to expect more city fighting as we push the enemy closer and closer to their dropships. There are still more Hetzers out there and Phi lance has reported other types of enemy armor in addition to their hoevercraft - the news of a LRM goblin in particular is cause for concern. Still nothing a judicious amount of fire power can't solve :)

    Not Goblins.... Bulldogs (15 tons heavier). Enemy has no dropships on planet. Their dropships had to retreat after repeated airstrikes. Their ground forces are stuck here for at least a couple of weeks. Our enemy is desperate to survive.

    Ok guys we need to figure out a pair of time slots for the next week. I don't need to you attend both, but you should try and attend one.

    Post your availability and we'll figure out a pair of times.
