Enemy Forces / Next Turn’s Movement:
Clan Assault walked 3 to hex 0504, Designates Thunderchild as ‘Ace’
Clan Heavy A 1 walked 3 to hex 0405 attacked by mine in hex 0306
Clan Heavy A 2 ran 3 to hex 0608, attacked by mine in hex 0606
Clan Heavy B jumps 5 to hex 1212
Thunderchild is an Ace this turn, waits for player movement



At this distance, the lance of the Clan machine’s laser was nearly invisible, a faint line of refraction that sprung to full, vivid life only when it boiled a patch of river less than a meter from the Luthien Maru’s flank to steam in an instant.

“Luthien Maru is under fire,” Hohiro Satomi reported calmly. In his cockpit, Agaki bowed his head respectfully. He hadn’t expected much from the local planetary security, but Satomi ran a tight ship and her crew was exceptionally well trained. He wondered quietly how different things would be if they hadn’t lost the rest of the navy to Clan aerofighters.

It was only a matter of time before those Clan aerofighters finished off the last few stragglers and turned their attention to the battered remnants of the 13th Rasalhague, and he wanted to be in a fortified position by then. The Clans would keep tearing his troops apart until they got some decent cover. The mountains themselves would make combat hazardous for the enemy Aerospace assets; and the maze of mineshafts and cave systems in the mountains would prove an adequate place for a last stand when the time came.

Until then, he was surrendering ground—and if the Clans decided to leave his forces unmolested, rather than smoke them out, he would begin raiding their supply lines in earnest.

Agaki’s radio crackled.

“Really, Colonel?” Star Colonel Joshua demanded. “A few mines aren’t going to slow us down. Surrender. You and your troops will not be har—”

Agaki’s reply simply flooded the airwaves with the sharp hiss of Brownian noise, cutting off the Clan commander’s reasonable-sounding death sentence.
