All Clans have been provided an opportunity this night (EST.)
The recently CSJ-contracted Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance (ISMA) Mercenary Corps Units of 228, Remnant and QQ have so augmented CSJ attacks on House Kurita that Smoke Jaguar finds itself tonight with no acceptable Attack Options.
Fortuitously House Kurita and FRR have chosen to not contest our two Smoke Jaguar planets vulnerable to them this Ceasefire Cycle.
Thus ALL Smoke Jaguar CW drops this evening will be toward the Common Defense of those Clan planets now under attack by the Inner Sphere: the Clan Ghost Bear world of Sheliak, the Clan Wolf world of The Edge and the Clan Jade Falcon world of Waldorff.

I have already executed 6 such drops, 3 in support of Clan Wolf, 2 in support of Clan Ghost Bear and one in support of Clan Jade Falcon.
I will add further drops as I should have another 6 Clan Common Defense Drops before I finish gaming for the night.
And I would be greatly remiss if I did not attribute this unexpected and unsolicited Clan Smoke Jaguar opportunity to help our Trothkin to those ISMA Units currently under CSJ contract. It is their additive combat value that affords us all this opportunity for a display of Clan Unity.
LET NO CLAN PLANET FALL TO THE INNER SPHERE THIS CEASEFIRE CYCLE.
And as we conclude this cycle I will look to best summarize the results of our efforts this evening.
And while tonight it is Clan Smoke Jaguar that finds itself with the opportunity to contribute PHASE ONE of OPERATION CLAN UNITY, perhaps tomorrow it will be Clan Ghost Bear, or next week Clan Jade Falcon or Clan Wolf who will be in such a position to contribute a maximum effort to OPN CLAN UNITY.
When you really stop to consider it, an effort like this makes great sense.
Why should four Clans fight largely four separate fights with only fair to good results, if we can collectively sometimes manage to free up an entire Clan to augment our Trothkin and achieve overwhelming success on ALL four Invasion Corridors?
The future & the liberation of Terra need not lead to inter-Clan tensions and unClan-like duplicity. Let us fight the Inner Sphere that PGI's MWO CW algorithm sets before us. ALL of us could rush with OPN CLAN UNITY toward Terrra and then once the first Clan is but a single planet away, our various Clan Leaders can common TeamSpeak and the three dozen or so of them figure it out at that time.
I for one advocate for Clan Unity today, in order to ensure Inner Sphere abdication of Terra tomorrow...
...unlike the failings of lore, I consider myself a Member of the Clans first and a Smoke Jaguar ALWAYS. The best way I as an MWO gamer can contribute to MWO Community Warfare is to advocate for those topics that I believe will strengthen my Clan which will in-turn strengthen ALL Clans.
OPN CLAN UNITY accomplishes both intents, strengthens Clan Smoke Jaguar while strengthening ALL Clans currently in game (Oh, how I can't wait for the full measure of Clans to return to the Inner Sphere, so many Clan strengths will be augmented and a similar number of Clan vulnerabilities will be resolved.)
But much of that remains to the future...
...for today, I still have 6 drops or more to make in support to of my Trothkin in Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon.
Good luck and good hunting,
Meet you on the (Terran) high ground,
May your Enemy's resolve fail him, long before your last auto-Cannon shell slams home in the breech!
