## 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. ## Interactions OpFor — Black Dragons - CGR-3K Charger - HKO-1C Ha Otoko - DRG-5K Grand Dragon - JR7-D Jenner - Manticore Heavy Tank ×7 (4+3) - Heavy APC (Tracked, LRM) ×2 - Heavy APC (Tracked, SRM) ×2 - Infantry Platoon (Foot SRM) ×4 - AV1-OC Avatar - OW-1C Owens - Raiden Battle Armor (Small Laser) ×2 - Goblin Infantry Support Tank ×2 - Infantry Platoon (Foot Rifle) ×2 OpFor — WoB Merc - MAD-3R Marauder - PXH-1D Phoenix Hawk - JVN-10F Fire Javelin - STG-3G Stinger - RVN-1X Raven Defenders — Hands of the Goddess - Piranha — 3/5 — Sergeant Bobbi - Alacorn Mk.VI Heavy Tank — 3/5 — Lieutenant Russert Baines (CO Armor) - Warrior H7 Attack Helicopter — 4/5 - Maxim Hover Transport Infantry (Bravo) — 4/5 - Jump Infantry LRM Platoons (A–D) — 4 each Defenders — Kiah's Hammers - ZPH-2A Tarantula — 3/5 - LCT-6M Locust — 3/5 - Pegasus Scout Hover Tank C3 — 4/5 - Bandit Hover Transport (Foxtrot) — 3/5 - Gray Death Standard Battle Armor (B–C) — 3 each Defenders — The Eagle's Tears - AV1-OC Avatar — 3/5 (C3 Master Damaged) - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor (A) — 3 - ON-1MA Orion — 4/5 - Maxim Hover Transport BA (field refit) — 3/4 (AIT) - Longinus Battle Armor Squad (A) — 3 (AIT) - Hunter Light Support Tank — 3/5 Defenders — Ironborn - HMR-3M Hammer (Alpha) — 3/5 — Lieutenant Dagmer “Squire” Harlaw - Striker Light Tank '58 — 3/5 (Former Pirate Crew) - Goblin Infantry Tank (Alpha) — 3/4 (AIT) - Rifle Foot Infantry Platoon (A) — 3 (AIT) - Goblin Infantry Tank (Delta) — 4/5 - Rifle Foot Infantry Platoon (D) — 4 (SBB) Defenders — Road's Warriors / Dragon Clutch - Griffen IIC — 3/4 — Lieutenant Miyamoto “Bisho” Musashi - Bandit Hover Transport (Alpha) — 4/5 - Raiden Battle Armor — 4 — "Rash" Hampton - Goblin Infantry Support Vehicle — 4/5 - Kage Battle Armor — 4 - Kestrel Medevac VTOL — 4/5 — Sergeant Kumiko Tan - Hellhound — 2/3 — Bully Roads - BJ2-OA Blackjack — 4/5 — Dan Cannon - Donar Attack Helicopter — 5/6 Defenders — Arkab Harib - SPR-4F Specter — 4/5 — "R.T."
