ridge commonly known as Wombat Ridge. The plummet down
the ridge to the river was deadly and almost impassible for a
тАЩMech. Her force had pushed them off the high ground. The cost
had been considerable, but the end she had smashed Star Captain
TrallтАЩs Bombardier with two salvos herself. In the wooded terrain
the long-range firepower of the Falcon тАЩMechs had been all but
neutralized.
Her force was mangled despite their victories. She still had a
Star and-a-half of BattleMechs on the field, but all of them had tak-
en some damage. Point Commander Cale reported that the only
force that had not attacked yet was the Wolves. Like their name-
sakes, they skirted the edge of the battlezone, stalking, awaiting
the right moment to strike.
Trish decided to not wait any longer. тАЬAll units reform on a line

тАЬThe Wolves are shifting towards the Cache. All units form on
the road and charge to the bunker.тАЭ The column fell in behind her
and started at a full trot down the road.
The Wolf Clan BattleMechs were spread out on the top of the
Brian Cache. Felled trees were everywhere, casually taken down
by the laborers of the Wolverines. Firing down the roadway, they
could not miss the lead тАЩMechтАФher тАЩMech. Her Pulverizer caught a
salvo of no less than forty long-range missiles and multiple lasers.
Trish felt her brand new BattleMech grind and moan around her
as she pressed forward enough into the small clearing so that her
force could fan out on the flanks.
Her footing slipped. She danced her targeting reticle down as
her тАЩMech fell. As the sight drifted across a Wolf Crab, a cobalt
burst of energy hit the right arm of the tube-like тАЩMech and tossed
it hard back, sending its laser shot searing into the wood line be-
yond her.
The Pulverizer dropped hard and she saw the damage indicators
