Allied MVP: Aiming high with Gauss Rifles.  (That was what, at least two huge scary clan assault mechs that went down due to one hit headshots? If either of those headcaps didn't happen goons would probably be either dead or much closer to it than they even are right now). OpFor MVP: King Cobra for being huge area denial and finally getting it's mace in to action in the best way possible.

To be fair, that mace attack is what won the mission for the players. That said, the Banshee also won it by moving directly into the Marauder's way, which meant it couldn't reach a water hex that turn.

Allied MVP: The Marauder for breaching armor on the King Cobra, spooking the last Clan officer into seeking SafCon, and eating a clan mace headcap from the biggest clan threat left on the field to allow the Lyrans to end with a fully alive roster. Opfor MVP: The Marauder for mission-killing the Zeus and crippling the Banshee. That thing rolled zero gunnery for three consecutive turns out of the four it was active.

Volmarias posted:Thank... you? You had half your firepower taken out by RNG from the word go but you soldiered on and managed to keep a 100t Clan Assault running around in circles while helping your team focus down their own threats, that's worth a vote in my book. The fact that the actual taking out of said firepower was hilarious is just icing

Speaking of, now that we know what the Lyrans are up to, maybe now's a good time to check in on that CapCon interdiction?

As a result of reading this fight, I've made the roll for an Ammunition Feed Problem only happen if your attack roll is a natural 2.

Political Vote – Advanced Warning “More of them.” A chill breeze sent the flaps of Frederick Steiner’s command tent fluttering. The familiar sound of canvas and the sheer familiarity of campaigning was almost peaceful, after a fashion. Frederick Steiner was no stranger to camping in the field, and that morning he’d thought nothing short of a Clan attack would be able to rouse him from his contentment. The campaign had been going well, the first wave of their counterattack had already seized three worlds from the shockingly-unprepared Steel Vipers. The missive he still held in his left had had shocked him out of any sense of satisfaction he’d started the day with. The representatives from Saeder-Krupp hadn’t lied. After a week’s analysis the only conclusion the LIC had come to was that the information they’d included in today’s intelligence briefing was all legitimate. The initial Clan invasion had begun with only four Clans, each fighting with a mere two Galaxies—a formation he’d come to understand matched the strength of roughly three or four regiments. It had only taken two of those Clans to cut a swath from the Periphery to Skye. Now there were more of them on the way—at least seven more—a teeming horde to the Clans’ initial surgical strike. That they’d grown frustrated at the other Clans’ lack of “progress” and had been infuriated by the Steel Vipers’ claim of “complete success” hardly seemed to matter. And now, Frederick was committed to a counter-invasion that would let these newcomers roll up his flank and destroy the entirety of the LCAF en masse. Even four months’ advanced warning hardly felt sufficient. He needed to end his counterattack, to focus his troops on a periphery defense to keep this new Clan force from sweeping through key worlds like Coventry, and Tharkad. The Estates General wouldn’t understand, they were already furious he’d stripped so many worlds of their defenders. The only thing that would satisfy them now was success, if he faltered they’d be on him faster than a pack of hungry Godan. How did one insure the survival of a nation in the face of short-sighted greed? drat that Aldo Lestrade, he’d been cursed since the day they’d first met. Frederick would have been happy serving Katrina Steiner as General of the Armies. Moving battalions and regiments around and pitting his tactical acumen against some Draconis Combine warlord or the Clans was the only thing Frederick truly wanted to do. The soldier in him knew what he needed to do to win, and the general in him knew how to make those fights happen, but playing politician had crippled his ability to create the battles that might have saved the Commonwealth when the Clans first invaded three years ago. It was one thing to know how and where to fight, it was another thing entirely to convince an entire nation to let you. Witch she might have been, but if she’d still been here Katrina Steiner would have been just the buffer he would have needed. She knew how to do more than simply get her way—she’d known how to convince others that her way was what they’d really wanted all along. He saw now that Duke Lestrade had engineered this from the start: he’d wanted Frederick to fail, so that Skye would have a chance to secede. Well, Lestrade may have laughed, but the last laugh had been on him: his son had acted first, and allied with the Clans. Frederick was out of goodwill to spend, Lestrade had burned it all. The only other bargaining chip he still had at his disposal was fear. Political Vote A) What should Archon Frederick Steiner do? 1) Continue the invasion, drat the military consequences. 2) End the invasion immediately and redeploy the LCAF to oppose the Second Crusade, drat the political consequences. 3) Release the news of the second Clan invasion to the entire Lyran Commonwealth to frighten the nobility back in line, drat the economic consequences. 4) Forge an alliance with Task Force Serpent to oppose the Second Crusade, drat the pride of the Lyran Commonwealth. 5) Step down as Archon in favor of someone more politically savvy, take advantage of the confusion to redeploy the LCAF to better oppose Second Crusade, drat Duke Lestrade and my own hubris. 6) Release the news of the second Clan invasion to the entire Inner Sphere.
