# Next Game Date
Game Day Date: October 19th 2025
Mission 103
## What we know so far
> “Sir I have a DropShip on a vector that will have it landing on the Kamchatke Peninsula.” The traffic controller will inform the watch supervisor.
> “Did they ask to land?”
> “No, they are just making a burn in.”
> “Do you know what JumpShip they are from?”
> “No, it is one that was in the normal traffic mix.”
> “Do you have an ID on it?”
> “No ID squawk but telemetry tagged it as a Union class.”
> “Get the militia on the line. Tell them looks like we have some uninvited guests.”
>
>
> “We will support from the GSF if the ID is correct.”
>
>
> “The Guard and Ghost are providing transport. They will be sending a Seeker and Lion to move all units into place. The Ghosts will have room for three BattleMechs and twenty-five light vehicles. They will have the infantry deck setup for medical support. The ComGuard will have six BattleMech and ten light vehicle bays open.”
>
>
> OK so this is the mission for the 19th.
> Unit deployment will be standard with the flex of the room for what units get to ride in the ships.
>
> All players need to pick forces by the 10/16 so I can make sure you are within the limits set. Please work with together on this.
>
> The is for the main units. You all have nine different units that can pull units for this mission.
>
> The other switch is that only light vehicles (55 tons and lighter) can be used.
>
> If you can not make the 19th please say so. This will give the others more flexibelty. If all are going to make it for the mission each unit gets only 1 BattleMech each.
>
> This setup is going with Hands of the Goddess, Kiah's Hammers, The Eagle's Tears, IronBorn, Dragon's Clutch, Road's Warriors, Winter's Dream, Valkyries of Hanakotoba and Swords of Dawn.
>
> Time to get at it.
Units already in the field in Shinrin and Mission 102/102.1 are unable to attend.
## Planned Deployment
Basically (and I can be wrong, I'm good at that), we can bring a total of 9 mechs at most. All vehicles need to be under 55t.
We have 4 declared, with 2 optional mechs so far. Hands of the Goddess is being given priority on their extra mech as they asked first and have a little bit of senority.
### Mechs
- Strider /w BA (Winter's Dream)
- Nexus (Valkyries of Hanakotoba)
- Anubis (Hands of the Goddess)
- Tarantula (Kiah's Hammers)
- Phoenix Hawk (Hands of the Goddess) (if everyone can make it, this will change to a Gladius Hovertank)
- Strider-OB w/BA (Valkyries of Hanakotoba via 268th) (Only if there is room, if there is room, remove the 2nd Karnov)
### Vehicles
- Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun (Winter's Dream)
- Goblin ISV w/Heavy LRM Platoon (Winter's Dream)
- Striker Light Tank (Winter's Dream)
- Warrior VTOL - (Valkyries of Hanakotoba via 268)
- Karnov w/2 BA Squads (Valkyries of Hanakotoba via 268th)
- Karnov w/2 BA Squads (Valkyries of Hanakotoba via 268th)
- Saracen (Hands of the Goddess)
- Hoverbike Platoon (Hands of the Goddess)
- Bandit (H) w/2 quads IS Standard BA (Kiah's Hammer)
- Bandit (F) w/2 quads Gray Death BA (Kiah's Hammer)
- Pegasus Scout (Kiah's Hammer)
## Other notes:
> as we are all using light assets I strongly suggest that we treat this as a scouting mission. light assets should not be used for "take downs" we should get information and report back. What do you all think? - D
> Perhaps we should include some heavier units just in case something big should come out of that dropship- nothing slower than 5/8. -J
> Instead of one of the Karnovs, I'm looking at bringing the 268's Strider-OB with BA. But only if there is room. It's a cool little toy with more LRMs, so I'd have a Warrior VTOL & that dude with LRMs and the karnov, the nexus and the BAs for spotting. I'd ask for the Grand Dragon but it wants to be a bit more hands on, which I'd be cool with if I was fielding anything that could support it, so instead I am looking at indirect pinpricks. Or at least long-range pinpricks.
> Issue I am having is that I need to know what variant of the Karnov UR Transport it is. It says ('58') but I am not sure what that means. So @shadhawk if I could find out by tomorrow that would be perfect, otherwise I might assume it's the one I keep using which is the ECM, 2 Med Lasers and 8t infantry space with 10/8/8/7 armor. -Kem
