Just another interesting find ….
Date – 2901 to 2910
Aim – FWL task force was established to keep the CCAF off balance by launching a series of raids targeting key CCAF supply depots
FWL – Task Force Red Rover contained units from both the Defenders of Andurien and the Orloff Grenadiers
CC – on-world garrison and the idea “strong reserve forces established by Chancellor Otto Liao”, and this could mean the FWL forces were being hunted by a single CC unit who were able to hunt them from world to world.
Aldebaran 24.813 : -64.414
Aldebaran was one of the oldest settled worlds in the Confederation at this point, and had been a major industrial and commercial center for much of that time. Aldebaran's location made it a natural invasion route for those striking at the heart of the Tikonov Commonality.
CCAF - Unknown
Result - strong reserve forces established by Chancellor Otto Liao stopped the FWLM forces from remaining on any of the Capellan worlds.
Shensi 53.764 : -92.524
Agriculture, Plains, Forests, Mines in the mountains (titanium, uranium and iron) – The planet is seen as very valuable, and the CCAF placed a number of strategic supplies in a series of caches..
CCAF – Unknown
Result - although the strong reserve forces established by Chancellor Otto Liao stopped the FWLM forces from remaining on any of the Capellan worlds.
Nanking 22.742 : -51.745
Institutes of Higher Learning for “correct socio-political thought” – strong commercial focus – mining (platinum and copper)
CCAF – Unknown
Result - Although the strong reserve forces established by Chancellor Otto Liao stopped the FWLM forces from remaining on any of the Capellan worlds.
Buenos Aires 18.092 : -341.994
Agricultural World (farms are either underground or offshore seagoing farms) – the world has hosted a sizeable defense force
CCAF - Unknown
Result - although the strong reserve forces established by Chancellor Otto Liao stopped the FWLM forces from remaining on any of the Capellan worlds - the raid on Buenos Aries was one of Red Rover's most notable successes, with the raiders capturing the Silver Frost - a fully laden iceship - in the Buenos Aries system.
Zion 15.246 : -83.285
the Negbek Desert, where the water pipeline that transported water from Lake Aleppo to the various outlying settlements around the desert was still sundered in several places -
CCAF – Unknown –Sixth “Zion” Lancers (?)
Result - a multi-pronged assault that saw the defenders routed from their fortified bases in the Gapston mountain range.
Nt. The raid on Zion saw the first real combat for the Galleon tank.
Nt. Pg. 49 House Liao The Capellan confederation
In 2905 …. For the rest of the War Otto Liao’ elastic response enabled the Capellans to force their neighbors into a war of isolated raids in place of all-out planet-busting campaigns.
Get thee to Coventry … Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious by this daughter of Tharkad … Our army shall march through. Well to New Avalon tonight.

So, how can we take this information and utilize it …
First, the fighting can be set during any time period;
Second, rather than set the fighting over a ten year period it needs to set within a short period, say, 18 months to 24 months where the attacking force is sent from one world to the next in order to either get a unit to hunt them, destroy the supply depo’s security force or both.
By getting a defending force to chase you the attacking force is attempting to destabilize an area for an invasion or perhaps something more nefarious … revenge against the defending force (aim: to kill it off) – capture its ‘Mechs – capture something of else of value;
Attacking force, your mercenary unit or House Unit or you could reverse it, you are the unit hunting the those who are raiding the depos – you know where they are you have to defeat them from one world to the next;
Make sure the depos are hidden – have the attacking force work for the depo location each time
If successful allow the attacker unit time to take their spoils – call in a drop-ship;
Choose 5 different environments in which to fight in …. forest, desert, ice, mountain, river delta;
So how would you consider designing / choosing the worlds on which to fight as well as the time this is set
It would fit well within the 4th SW or maybe even the Clan Invasion or even during any time period along any border between two realms or how about pirate hunting in the periphery (depo could be Star League or how about RWR)
Thoughts on how to improve this basic game scenario?
