Sarna 3029
“The 5th Srytis Fusilier invasion force was shattered. Survivors of the aerospace and hover tank attacks
are now making their way deeper into the forest to escape and regroup. Two heavy mechs of the regiment attempt to
make the tree line. Units of the MAC
have been placed to prevent their escape. Can the two Fusilier mechs fight their way through?!”
Fusiliers:
Warhammer 6R - 3/4
Marauder 3R - 3/4
MAC:
Shadowhawk SHD-2H – 4/5
Phoenix Hawk PHX-1 - 4/5
Vindicator VND-1R - 4/5
Blackjack BJ-1 - 4/5
The early game was a hint of things to come as the Blackjack
reached out and slammed an AC/2 round into the Warhammer’s cockpit. The Fusilier mechs responded with a barrage
of PPC fire quickly ramping up their heat.
Their fire was inconsistent. The pilots
were rattled from the slaughter they had witnessed in the drop zones.
The Fusilier mechs played cagey and moved into the cover of
the buildings. The MAC mechs charged to
close the range. The Phoenix hawk and
the Marauder begin an epic duel, each blasting around the corner of the same
building. This is when the physical attacks
started. The Phoenix hawk landed a kick, and the Marauder slammed its weapon’s arm
into the P-Hawk. The Marauder broke into
the open, but the Phoenix hawk could easily keep up. Another kick was landed on the Marauder.
The Shadowhawk positioned itself on a hill, both behind
and above the Warhammer. A deadly position
for a kick. Hitting the shutdown override, the Marauder pilot poured PPC fire into the Shadowhawk. The MAC pilot could not remain steady on the crest
of the hill and fell. The Marauder pilot
had saved his lance mate, but the heat removed any chance of getting
away.
The Fusilier mechs continued down the map. Exchanging fire with their pursuers. The Phoenix Hawk fired alpha strike, after alpha strike, followed up with more kicks. The Marauder returned fired into the determined MAC mech. Finally, a medium laser punched through the left side of the Marauder and triggered the AC/5 ammo. The fusilier mech succumbed to the internal explosion while the Phoenix Hawk, nothing more than legs and a torso, stood triumphant.

The Warhammer was close to escape. It had weathered a lot of fire but the MAC mechs were unlikely to bring it down. In a classic “Hold my beer” moment, the Vindicator took aim at the Warhammer. “You won’t escape Fedrat!”, the pilot called as she squeezed the trigger. Her lance mates looked in awe as the PPC bolt entered the cockpit and the heavy Fusilier mech fell onto its back. Weakened by the AC shell in the beginning the game, the bolt had killed the pilot.
