## Summary
A substantial Kokuryu-kai force moved to the bridges at Open Wind Gorge. GSF and allied units engaged; the GSF held the site but suffered damage while downing four attacking 'Mechs. Salvage included a Charger and parts from several enemy 'Mechs.
## Quests / Report
A company and a half of Kokuryu-kai forces moved toward the bridges. Commanders disputed control of the area; the Kokuryu-kai commander claimed authority, prompting battle. Allied units (Winters Dream, Road Warriors, Ironborn, Eagle's Tears, Arkab, and ComGuard) engaged the Kokuryu-kai alongside GSF. A reinforced lance of unknown BattleMechs also joined the fight.
The GSF successfully defended the bridges, downing four enemy 'Mechs but losing a Goblin tank and a Winters Dream Marauder. Several friendly vehicles (Hellhound, Griffin IIC) sustained heavy damage.
