Upon realizing the MAC were the solely responsible for the incursion into FedCom space, Duke [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]] ordered a strike against Menke be included as part of [[Case Juliet]], the AFFC's retaliatory attack for the MAC's raids, selecting the mercenary regiments of the [[Illician Lancers]] and elements of the [[Sirdar Capellan March Militia]] for the task. <ref name=HWo39-128>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 128-129 "Countering the Big Mac - Menke (August-September)"</ref> Upon realizing the MAC were the solely responsible for the incursion into FedCom space, Duke [[Morgan Hasek-Davion]] ordered a strike against Menke be included as part of [[Case Juliet]], the AFFC's retaliatory attack for the MAC's raids, selecting the mercenary regiments of the [[Illician Lancers]] and elements of the [[Sirdar Capellan March Militia]] for the task. <ref name=HWo39-128>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 128-129 "Countering the Big Mac - Menke (August-September)"</ref>
− While the defending [[aerospace fighter]]s of the Sixth fought hard to prevent the Davion taskforce from landing, the FedSun fighters successfully fending off the bulk at the cost of half its fighters, the combined mercenary-CMM force grounding near Johenessburg less than a hundred kilometers from the Big Mac's main base at Fort McCarron.

Realizing that while the Sixth included a number of Cavalry veterans, the bulk were green unblooded trainees, the taskforce commander [[General]] [[Panos Fujikawa]] of the [[Illician Lancers]] ordered his troops to strike the defenders hard.
