Commander Ambitious has recently surprised the rest of us with his bold
statements. One of his most recent was his declaration of attack: "BE IT KNOWN that Commander Ambitious with his hopefully talented teammate, will
invade Rasalhog from Dark Nebula and kick ass!"
Due to some consolidation of his forces after the previous Dreadnok raid,
the Ambitious Army has 6 'Mechs that is sending into battle from Dark
Nebula. The Ambitious 'Mechs weigh in at 340 tons with a Battle Value
of 9838 - the highest BV that we've seen at one location so far!
The force defending Rasalhague is handicapped, having only 3 Dreadnok
'Mechs. Dispite the odds, Commander Dragon has no intention to request
hegira. His 'Mechs weigh in at 235 tons and have a Battle Value of 7920.
With a decent team of pilots Commander Dragon has confidence of a good
battle.

Commander
Ambitious came into the battle ready to tear up the ground, but as he soon discovered,
these defending Dreadnok Raiders had no intentions to retreat. The defending
position was near the top of a mountain, with the only sloped access on the
defending right flank.
The
open terrain ahead of the attackers gave them easy access to the defending side
of the battlefield. The range of combat tightened quickly as the smaller Ambitious
'Mechs moved up the defender right flank, heading for access up the mountain.
Within a minute the first shots were fired by the Beowulf IIC from the top of
the mountain. The target was missed but the returned fire from the Vapor Eagle
caused half a ton of armor to be blasted off the left torso of the Beowulf.
A
moment later the Knight made a critical hit against the attacking Nova, knocking
the the 'Mech into the ground. This critical hit severely hindered the Nova,
which initially had the potential to be a very deadly machine. Although the
Nova had 10 Heavy Medium Lasers, not a single one was fired during the battle.
Moving
to the edge of the plateau proved to be a bad choice for the Dreadnok Raiders.
The third round was a scary moment for Sgt Buzz in his Knight as he took some
heavy damage from both the Stormcrow and the Vapor Eagle. Sgt Buzz barely managed
to keep the Knight standing under the barrage of missiles and laser fire and
he immidiately stepped back from the edge as soon as he had a second to think.
A
vengeful MechWarrior named Shemp launched his Vapor Eagle onto the higher level
to continue his assault against the Knight. Unfortunately for Shemp, he lost
the support of most of the attack force and soon discovered that going toe-to-toe
against two Assault 'Mechs wasn't the brightest thing he could have done. Although
Sgt Buzz was still recovering from the previous damage, the Knight ripped into
the Vapor Eagle blasting off the left side before destroying the 'Mech.
As
the Ice Ferret and the Phantom made their way to the top of the mountain, Pvt
Zandar positioned himself - waiting to strike. The Nova jumped to the edge of
the mountain to assist just as the Ice Ferret slipped underwater in a fast moving
mountain spring. With the Ice Ferret missing for the moment, Pvt Zandar struck
the Nova down, finishing off the previously damaged gyro.
Commander
Ambitious soon decided it was time to retreat, but already it was too late.
Within another minute the Phantom and Ice Ferret were put out of commission.
There are several reports that as the Stormcrow and the Deathsman retreated
off the battlefield their pilots could be heard cursing the Dreadnok Raiders
and the mountain of Rasalhague.
