I'm still playing the opposition forces for one of the local
Battletech groups. This week I was put in command of a force of 6
Manei Domini
mechwarriors and
battlemechs. We were stationed at the Wilson farm. Wilson was the leader of the local
Blakest militia. A force of Inner Sphere invaders approached the far and met with Wilson. Unfortunately the
Manei Domini commander observed the farmer and the invader's diplomats shaking hands at the end of the meeting. Traitors cannot be tolerated so the closest
Manei Domini
battlemech was
ordered to fire on Wilson's truck vaporizing it instantly.

The
Manei Domini sprung the trap and at first it looked like things were going perfectly. The
Blakest Militia and
Manei Domini were surrounding a single lance of Inner Sphere
mechs and the other Inner Sphere lance was some distance away from the fight. One Inner Sphere
mech, a Clint
IIC was damaged badly in the opening salvo. However the
Manei Domini commander noticed that the
Blakest Militia did not fire nor did they make any moves to engage the invaders. A Militia Crab
mech moved up to the road and appeared to be scanning the area where Wilson's
truck had be destroyed.

Shortly after determining that Wilson was actually dead the Militia units changed sides which infuriated the
Manei Domini commander. Unfortunately it left the
Manei Domini
battlemechs outnumbered over two to one. The
Manei Domini concentrated their fire on the traitors virtually ignoring the Inner Sphere lances. The Clint
IIC was forced to withdraw and the Crab
mech of the traitor militia was destroyed. Some of the other militia
mechs were heavily damaged and a few of the Inner Sphere
mechs were damaged but the
Manei Domini suffered the loss of a
Malak and several of the
mechs took critical damage. In the end what looked like an easy victory for the Word of Blake turned into a shameful loss.
