    Important question regarding repairs -

    What sort of repair facility is Ignis equipped with? Field workshop, transport bay, maintenance facility? Will make a difference for repair rolls.

    For future reference, you can find it at the bottom of page 6 in our Master Rules, but I'll post it here for easy viewing:
    Basically, I had to fudge things a bit here:
    Even though technically, pirates would be unlikely to own very many fully operation maintenance facilities, to keep things simple, we are assuming all "Outposts" have Class C facilities. Beaconlight and HQs (the latter of which we have not seen yet) have Class D facilities. Class C repair facility means we can also do Class C upgrades (1 crit slot equipment changes). Check the Economy & Upgrades sheet for details.

    This reminds me I should also update the Master Rules to better specify the difference between Outposts and HQs.

    FINAL REMINDER: We are still in Stage 2. Be careful about jumping the gun with repairs. Make sure to check with me before you start. :)

    TURN FOUR UPDATE
    June 10, 3049 (Standard Terran Calendar)
    System: Star's End
    Planet: Novo Cressidas (northern hemisphere)

    turn04Capture.GIF

    Another week has passed and we still have no word from Morgana or our dropships. Beta Lance has taken such heavy losses that they are no longer battle ready. What remains of their assets will be used to reinforce our surviving lances. However, although things still look bleak, we are in a better position than we were two weeks ago.

    Outpost Ignis is now secure and mostly-operational. Alpha Lance is fully repaired and Delta is close to it. Gamma is still moving south to rendezvous with us, but they should be here in the next day or two. Our combat actions over the last few weeks have gained us a sizable number of conventional combat vehicles and supplies. But perhaps most importantly, our recent victories against some of the regional bandits in the area has made us popular with some of the locals. A few dirt farmers have even offered to help. As we get closer to facing the Martillos and Gorettis on their own turf we will have to tread lightly, but for now the need to replace some of our losses is too great to pass up.

    Our strategy from this point on remains unchanged. We must hold onto Outpost Ignis at least until we can link back up with our dropships. However, we cannot afford to wait for the Martillos or the Gorettis to come knocking on our door. Instead, we will leave a small force to defend Ignis while the majority of us push north. If we can't push our enemies back, we must at least try to delay their advance. This will buy us more time... and hopefully enough time. Alpha and Delta will move out first. Gamma will follow after they have finished repairs and secured our flank.

    We have received word from the locals that the Martillo and Goretti bosses are scrambling to get a ceasefire worked out, but sporadic fighting is still popping up on both sides.

    GM NOTE:
    • Get an up to date look at the map by logging into Mechwarrior: Ejected on Roll20!
    • Due to the complete breakdown of cooperation with our Martillo contacts, no additional payments or resupplies are available this Turn.
    • Any and all dropship support will be unavailable until communications with our dropships is reestablished.
    • Players that are captured may request a POW exchange as per normal rules (see Master Rules, page 5). Consider the Gorettis to be "Hired Muscle" when applying costs and modifiers.

    Zone K3:     Before leading the push back north, the faster mechs of Alpha Lance went to investigate Zone K3 first to secure our western flank (Val with her slower Marauder would stay behind with Delta Lance). Upon reaching the foot of the mountain range another smaller facility was spotted; this one appeared to be a bunker built into the side of a cliff face. As we approached, we were ambushed by Goretti forces; a light vehicle company and another company of mechanized heavy infantry. Although they had a clear numerical advantage on us, the rough terrain bottlenecked their forces into a small area where our artillery infantry platoon could easily hammer away at them. Still the fight was not easy. While turning a blind corner, Roxy Angelo's Griffin was taken out by a Hetzer's AC20 and my Shadow Hawk almost met the same fate . While my mech did survive the encounter, the left torso and arm were completely demolished. Thankfully, our artillery made short work of the mechanized infantry before they could give us any resistance. Only Trevnor in Skwi's Hatchetman made it out of the fight with superficial damage.

    It seems that some Gorettis escaped to here when the Harbinger forced them to flee their nearby outpost. We cannot allow them to maintain a hold this close to our HQ. The bunker has a gate just barely large enough to fit an assault mech inside. One local claims it connects to a tunnel that runs under the mountain towards Beaconlight, but who knows for sure what it may hold. With the entrance secure we are holding our position and calling in Val to reinforce us. We will make what repairs we can while we wait for her.

    Reports are coming in that the Goretti assault mech force in Zone H4 has been wiped out. Some of boss Martillo's hired guns have moved south; no doubt hoping to pillage nearby Goretti holdings. Get ready for a fight!

    Zone J4: Unlike the Gorettis, the Martillos make extensive use of mercenaries to supplement their standing army. Although effective when given clear objectives, these hired guns are not always reliable in following orders. Despite the call for a ceasefire from the Gorettis, the Martillos have had difficultly curtailing the bloodthirst of some of their forces. Long running feuds on both sides seem to be greatly contributing to this. Freelancers smelling blood in the water was probably the other factor.

    Still eager from their string of recent victories, some of these mercenaries saw an opportunity in sacking the mountain towns of Zone J4 while the Gorettis had their back against the wall. Unfortunately for them, they pushed too far south and met not Gorettis, but our very own Delta Lance. Although Skwi's Axeman was still smarting some damage from previous battles, Delta was all too eager to put these second-rate mercenaries in their place.

    To the mercenaries credit, they were quick to identify Skwi's wounded Axeman and struck hard at him. However, they made the fatal mistake of rushing an otherwise well armed assault lance that held the high ground. In less than a minute, Delta decimated one lance of the mercenaries and severely crippled the other. Overextended and now out-gunned, it took only as much time to finish off the other. None would be allowed to escape with their mech.
