## Overview The GSF responded to a Sulubba call for help after a large bandit force attacked. Responding units found a substantial enemy presence (approximately sixteen BattleMechs and sixteen vehicles, including multiple hover transports and several assault-class Mechs). GSF forces engaged, drove off the bandits, salvaging several vehicles and two light BattleMechs; many friendly units remained on station to assist and secure the area. ## Special rules - Desert terrain: all BattleMech and wheeled units suffer -1 MP to running/flank speed. - Wheeled vehicles must make pilot checks at the start of a flank to avoid getting stuck. - Hover vehicles must make pilot checks at all speeds and after flank runs (engine clogging with sand). - VTOLs at level 3 or lower must make pilot checks due to dust; VTOLs landing or moving at level 1 also must check for engine clogging. ## Opposing forces (OpFor) - GRN-D-01 Grand Crusader (Pope) - MAD-4H Marauder II - CDR-3R Crusader (Tom) - TBT-7K Trebuchet - FLC-5P Falcon - CN9-A Centurion - CDA-2A Cicada - ASN-21 Assassin (Bob) - DV-6M Dervish - ABS-3L Anubis - OSR-3D Osiris - SNK-1V Snake - YMN-6Y Yeoman - AS7-D Atlas - JA-KL-1532 Jackal - LCT-1V Locust - Myrmidon, Saladin, Saracen, Chevalier, Magi, Brutus, Rommel, Patton, Bruke x2 - Demolisher (Gauss) x2 - Bandit C x4 ## Friendly / Allied forces ### Hands of the Goddess Force - MechWarrior Lucas Jenkens — PXH-4L Phoenix Hawk (4/5) - Partisan Heavy Tank (LRM) — 4/5 — Sergeant - Vedette Medium Tank — 4/5 - Karnov UR Transport BA (Alpha) — 4/5 - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor, Laser (C) — 0 — Sergeant Edilenny Exhume — XO Infantry (AIT) - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor, Laser (D) — 0 — (AIT) ### Kiah's Hammers Force - MechWarrior Sergeant Cassandra — ZPH-2A Tarantula (3/4) - Cadet Amber — TBT-5J Trebuchet (4/6) — Trainee Pilot - Manteuffel Attack Tank Prime — 2/4 — Sergeant Reanne — DCMS C3 Slave - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor, Laser (A) — 1 — Sergeant Dante - Manticore Heavy Tank — 3/5 — Sergeant Lincoln ### The Eagle's Tears Force - Major “Crash” Cranson — WVR-8C Wolverine (2/4) — DCMS C3 Slave - MechWarrior Drew Papadakis — ON-1MA Orion (4/5) - MechWarrior — OW-1C Owens (Alpha) (3/5) — FWL C3 Slave - Sergeant — Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor, Laser (B) — 3 - Vedette Medium Tank (Lt Gauss) — 4/5 ### Ironborn Force - Lieutenant (JG) Chao “Boom Box” Yang — RVN-4LC Raven (3/5) — CC C3 Slave - Partisan Air Defense Tank (Lance Command) — 4/5 — Master Sergeant Amy Zhao — CC C3 Master - Partisan Air Defense Tank — 4/5 — CC C3 Slave - Goblin Infantry Tank (Alpha) — 3/4 — (AIT) - Rifle Foot Infantry Platoon (A) — 3 — (AIT) ### The Dragon's Clutch Force - Talon Sergeant Blaine “Talon” Hasagawa — WLF-2 Wolfhound (4/5) - MechWarrior Ren Ito — OW-1Prime Owens (4/5) — C3 Slave - Raiden Battle Armor (Tsunami) — 4 — Tai-i Adrian Tan — XO (1 trooper KIA) - Bandit Hover Transport (Alpha) — 3/5 — “Rash” Nomura - Raider Battle Armor (MG) — 3 — 4 troopers inside - Raider Battle Armor (MG) — 3 — 4 troopers outside - Ares Tank — 4/5 ### Road's Warriors Force - Bully Roads — FLC-8R Falconer (1/2) — Unit Commander - Shiro “Baka” Musashi — Cougar A (3/4) - Sergeant — Raiden Battle Armor (Laser) (4) - Kiyosuke Sook-O — CMA-C Chimera (3/5) - Musketeer Hover Tank — 4/5 ### 6th Ghost - Chu-i Go Soo Jung — AV1-OB Avatar (4/5) - Raiden Battle Armor Laser Delta — 4 — Go-cho Doris Yeh - Gunsho Kinako — OW-1 Owens (4/5) — C3 Slave - Raiden Battle Armor Laser Echo — 4 — Go-cho Jun Yao - Schiltron Mobile Fire Support Platform (B) — 3/5 — Shujin — Armor XO C3 Master - Raiden Battle Armor Laser Charlie — 3 — Go-cho - Manticore Heavy Tank (C3S) — 4/5 — Gunsho — C3 Slave ## Salvage - JA-KL-1532 Jackal (parts only) - LCT-1V Locust - Patton Tank - Rommel Tank (1–2 & super heavy motive damage) - Bruke Tank x2 - Demolisher Heavy Tank x2 (1-Brick) ## After Action Report (AAR) A small group of Sulubba called for help because they were attacked by bandits. When the GSF units responding to the call arrived they found a large bandit force (approximately 16 BattleMechs and 16 vehicles). Four of the vehicles were Bandit Hover Transports and the bandits included three assault-class Mechs. The GSF engaged, drove off the bandits, recovered some armored units and salvaged two light BattleMechs. Due to security concerns Winter's Dream and Loyalty Forsaken remained at their assigned camp. Responding units will remain on station to assist the Sulubba and investigate nearby ruins.
