Line 43: ===Ground Campaign=== ===Ground Campaign=== − From the space, the Hounds surveyed the planet, locating all the Falcon's forces. These were dispersed in several places, in two continents, so Callandre decided to attack and destroy one force at a time. The Hounds landed on the continent of Gerechtland, moving towards the primary enclave. The defenders, the 433rd Solahma Trinary, emerged and engaged them with armor and infantry in a snow-covered valley. The Hounds' armor, led by Callandre's [[SM1#Variants|SM5 Field Commander]], got through the Falcon's lines, engaging them from the back and destroying their vehicle engines with precision attacks. The Hounds' 'Mechs easily crushed the survivors which pursued the retreating armor. + From the space, the Hounds surveyed the planet, locating all the Falcon's forces.

Their first target was New Hannover, where the Arc-Royal MechWorks and Kell Refit Facilities were located. The local garrison, warned by the Hounds' previous attacks, had quickly maximized production and called reinforcements, so they were well equipped and entrenched, so the Hounds strike-and-run attacks failed to dislodge them.
