    Zone K3: After a full day of rest and repairs, Alpha was ready to lay siege to the Goretti bunker under the mountain. The preperation was well deserved for the Gorettis had placed two mixed infantry battalions in our path. The intel we had gathered from the locals rang true; this was an extensive underground facility. Not only did it hold multiple storehouses, but it also had an underground tunnel that extended north to the otherside of the mountain range.

    The battle was tight and fierce with heavy casualties on both sides. Alpha would not have succeeded at all without support from local infantrymen. They seemed more eager to drive the Gorettis from their lands than even we were. In the end we were victorious. Unfortunately,, the Gorettis had emptied the facility of most of its supplies (no doubt smuggling most into Beaconlight), but we still managed to secure over a million C-bills in equipment.

    As our fortune turns for the better, the memory of the Butcher still lingers in the commander's mind. We are safe for now, but old hatreds cry out for blood and that 16 million C-bill bounty may be too good to give up just yet. Regardless, a clear path now lies before us. Beaconlight is within our reach... or do we push east and rescue our bretheren and assets held by the Gorettis at their stronghold?... or do we betray all honor and glory to hide behind these walls until help arrives?

    Reports are coming in that Martillo mercenaries assaulting the Goretti stronghold in Zone H4 have been wiped out. Fighting between the two sides seems to be subsiding. Word is out that we are the biggest threat to the status quo on Novo Cressidas. Tread lightly, everyone.

    I say we pull out and leave some light mechs on the ground with TAG. Then use the dropships to bombard the crime families from orbit. Exterminatus.

    Zone L4: Once more we have been set upon by opportunists seeking Goretti riches. This attack seems more determined than the last; no doubt attributed to our rising infamy. Still repairing damage sustained earlier, Gamma was the closest available to meet this new threat. They chose to meet the bandits in the field rather than risk any further damage to Outpost Ignis. Although crippled by half-finished repairs, the plan worked and Gamma claimed a solid victory. Well done!

    Zone L4:     These damn bandits seem more determined than usual. Perhaps they have outside support? After giving them a bloody nose, they apparently thought to return the favor the following day by raiding our outpost at dawn. Once again, Gamma rose to the occasion, but the sudden and rapid attack proved to be too much for their already battered mechs. The bandits knocked out our primary power generators and with it, our ability to use the outposts limited upgrade facilities... at least for now. No matter. auxiliary power will suffice for our needs and Delta will soon be arriving to shore up our defenses.

    Zone L4:     Those damn bandits returned today, but this time we were ready for them. By rerouting power we were able to get some of the defensive turrets back online. With these and our brave infantrymen dug in all along the perimeter, we stood a much better chance. The final battle took place on Delta's watch this time and the bandits seemingly threw everything they had at us. Sheo's King Krab was the first to go down, but not before absorbing a sickening amount of punishment. Soon after, Dihm in his Warhammer had an Inferno SRM cook off that almost cost him his life. Downed and unconscious, only quick thinking from Ghizmo saved him from a grizzly death. Thankfully, Dihm was quick to recover and safely ejected and Ghizmo was only too happy to disengage. As Ghizmo's Victor limped back to safer ground, our remaining infantry successfully plugged the holes in our line. The remaining bandits, too crippled to press their attack and too disorganized to withdraw, shattered against their ranks. We wiped the bandits out and with this last attack, the outpost once again is safe.

    And Sheo said, "Not this day!"

    The log for the turn was literally so long the forums won't let me post it. Suffice to say a lot of things shot at Sheo that turn... and in the end:

    That is without question the closest call I've ever seen in all my years of playing Battletech.

    its worth noting that the base BV of the KGC-010 is like 3600, of which 666 remains at the moment.

    I tell you what though, that King Crab has been a workhorse. It has basically tanked the enemy forces in every drop, unfortunately the dice were not on our side this time.
