Idlewind has been suppressed for now, all of CSJ's weight needs to be shifted towards Irece...let us take that rock and show the Inner Sphere how we wage war!!!!

Excellent job last night!

A Clans-wide defense of Idlewind (thank you Ghost Bear, Jade Falcon and Wolf Defenders of Idlewind!) as well as A Smoke Jaguar victory on Irece.

And I thank all the Smoke Jaguars that then shifted Operational Focus along with JGx to the Defense of Thessalonika.

All fights were well attended, well fought and ultimately successful.


Tonight will similarly bring some excellent gaming (thank you PGI for CW Beta!)

Idlewind is as of yet untouched by Inner Sphere attack.

Clan Smoke Jaguar has some heavy lifting to do on Teniente in order to expand our 6% beachhead there.

And despite numerous Smoke Jaguar drops in support of Wolf and Jade Falcon worlds under attack, there are currently 3 Clan worlds nearly lost to the Steiner and FRR twinned, Mercenary-spearheaded Offenses.

I suggest once Idlewind is preserved and Teniente is secured, that Smoke Jaguar units should look first to Thessalonika to begin the sure preservation of Clan consolidation of the Inner Sphere.


Rest assured fellow Smoke Jaguars, there will be enemies aplenty for all the plasma, Guass rounds, missiles and laser fire we can bring to bear this evening!

DERP always focused on attack, and shifts to defense when it hits 20%. Back and forth as need.

When 25% we are full focused.

Great Effort today Smoke Jaguars!

Yes, we retained Idlewind and were well on the way to conquering Teniente, but unfortunately as each of four Clan Worlds fell (two Wolf and one each for Ghost Bear and Jade Falcon) to a resurgent Inner Sphere, it freed up IS Mercenary forces (led by QQ, among others) to swarm to Kurita's defense of Teneinte.

It is estimated that no fewer than 72 enemy dropped into 6 Sectors unopposed during the last hour of combat prior to the ceasefire tonight.

We can expect a repeat of this enemy operational technique in the future, If our brother Clans decisively lose 2 or more worlds, Kurita defenses are likely to be bolstered against Smoke Jaguar attacks.

On nights like tonight where the Clans lose 4 worlds, some decisively (80-100%) a similar attempt to mass numbers and counter Smoke Jaguar finest Offensive efforts.


Knowledge is power.
Forewarned is forearmed.

TL:DR - The Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance (228, MercStar, Lords, QQ, EMP, et al) is aggressively leading an increasingly Inner Sphere inclusive resurgence against the Clans. Three Clan worlds fell two days ago. Four Clan Worlds fell last night. And tonight (06JAN3050) six Clan worlds are imperiled of falling to IS forces.



12:40EST - Idlewind under FRR attack again. No sectors lost yet but one Sector looks to go down undefended and we are having group trouble getting defenders on the battlefield. 16 Attackers in queue, only 4 Defenders


12:48EST - First Sector lost. Two additional sectors currently being contested. 34 Attackers in queue with 28 Defenders. Excellent response time during what is normally a Smoke Jaguar non-peak CW time slot. Great job Units and Solo Gamers who were able to respond.


Running Operational Assessment Part 1- It was about this time of day, this past Sunday when Lords 6 and 3-mans began to drop on Idlewind. Key to victories then was to focus fire on Lord PUGs, slowly tilting the number of gamers alive in the match in favor of the Smoke Jaguars.


12:56EST - Holding the line at only one sector lost. 48 Attacks in queue against 38 Defenders.


Running Operational Assessment Part 2 - For today, one Clan world, Ferleiten (100%) has already fallen. Two more are currently being hotly contested Idlewind (6%)and Chatueu (20%). One world was breached early this morning, Irece (20%)

While the amount of Inner Sphere activity is within recent norms, the focus on Smoke Jaguar Worlds (Idlewind and Irece) is above previous IS activity under Operation: Snowflake.


13:06EST - Dropping in game now. Idlewind Boreal Vault. Enemy is a PUG group led by one Lord and one QQ. (RESULT: It was a very near run Victory but with the aid of many Wolf, Ghost and Falcon allies we won. A Lord (of course) was the Enemy's Ace scoring 2304 damage - a worthy foe.)


13:41EST - Smoke Jaguar is olding the line on Idlewind with only one sector lost. 36 Attackers remain in queue for Idlewind facing over 60 Defenders. Similarly Chateau is facing 34 Attackers with over 60 Defenders eager to fight to reclaim lost sectors here.

RECOMMENDATION: Solos and Units should shift focus to reclaim the three lost Smoke Jaguar defensive sectors on Irece.


1:50EST - Dropping into Idlewind now, on attack to reclaim the only lost sector. Enemy is a complete Pickup Team of unknown gamers. [RESULT: Three initial (two complete) DC's unhinged a very valiant first wave charge into Boreal's Left gate. From there on it was a defensive effort to preserve the drop zones.]


2:25EST - Pressure on Idlewind continues with 44 Attackers in queue against more than 60 Defenders. A second sector has been lost. Already matched with 12 pilots-receiving-orders to drop a third time today in defense of Idlewind.


2:41EST - Idlewind has become a lightning rod for Enemy Attacks, pulling resources from the Inner Sphere Mercenary-directed attacks on Chateau. Chateau has subsequently been reclaimed down to 13% with only 32 Attackers verse 50 Defenders remaining on Chataeu. If this ratio holds, the final two Enemy Sectors should fall to unopposed Wolf CounterAttacks within the hour.

Idlewind on the other hand has seen more than 60 Attackers and Defenders for the last half hour.

While this is a free and open Thread in the MWO forums (serving to inform Friend and Foe alike) it also serves a vital Smoke Jaguar COMMUNITY function... "Forewarned is forearmed." and "Knowledge is Power."

Let's see is the Inner Sphere can still manage to capture 3 to 4 Clan World a night during this temporary period of a FRR Mercenary Resurgence. Internal fractions and the desire to "Go get their Clan On" will eventually ameliorate the current 228, MercStar, Lord, QQ, EMP et al Mercenary Coalition.



...and what better Faction to next fight alongside for a time, than a Smoke Jaguar Faction that has evolved its community to the point where it operates an Operational Command effort on the MWO Forums?



2:59EST - My third battle on Idlewind is dropping now, a Counterattack supported a five man Wolf Element from CYT... thank you Trothkin for supporting Smoke Jaguar in this defense. (RESULT: despite a valiant effort by 10 of our Trothkin from other Clans, we were unable to press home the Counterattack against a collection of three and four man teams.)

3:28EST - The Inner Sphere Mercenary-led Operation: Snowfall has now diversified their attacks bringing 26 and 32 Attackers respectfully against Irece (now at 20%) and Liezen (now at 20%.) pressure is back on Chateau (now at 20%.) The defense of Ferleiten is completely failed with that Ghost Bear world 100% Enemy occupied. Idlewind remains at 20% with 58 Attackers to the 60+ Defenders.

PROPOSAL FOR CONSIDERATION: We need to free up three or more 12-man teams to Attack.

there are a finite number of Clan and Inner Sphere gamers. Currently the Inner Sphere has ALL the initiative, taking the fight to us on our hard-won worlds. The ONLY clan who currently holds an Offensive Sector is the Jade Falcons and their 2 sectors on the Inner Sphere world of Butler.

If we permit the Inner Sphere to dictate terms we will again fight today's entire 24-hours period on the defensive in our own sectors. Taking three or more of our best 12-man teams out of the. Defense and focusing them on the Attack will siphon Inner Sphere teams from there Operation Snowfall attacks onClan worlds.

If this strategy begins to bare results we can shift more resource to it and widen the war / begin to steal back the momentum we have lost.


3:47EST - dropping in for the fourth PUG match to preserve Idlewind. Enemy is an 11- man PHL team. Defense is for a portion of the Sulfurous Rift. (RESULT: another heroic though ultimately futile defensive effort by 4 Non-TS Smoke Jaguars and 8 Wolf, Bear and Falcon Allies. PHL used attrition to win a narrow victory zeroing to the great or with their last 9 Mechs then 5 Mechs with only 27 seconds remaining on the timer. Thunderbold 9S' predominated Mech selection among PHL.)


4:22EST - Clan Defender numbers are tailing off in the late Eastern Coast US time zone (as they usually do this time of day.) Chateau is the Clan Defensive effort seeing the most actin with 60+ on each side.

Seven sectors have now been lost on Idlewind with 56 Attackers and 40 Defenders remaining in queue at the moment.

Irece and Liezen have 7 and 1 Defenders queued respectfully against 35 and 14 Attackers, Irece has seen 46% Attacker success, Liezen 53%.

Once the Inner Sphere secures these currently contested worlds above 80% look for them to turn what attentions they can (FRR will be at 100% success on all the worlds they can attack today. thus the Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance will be no longer able to attack Clan possessions. an eye must be kept to determine if these forces are then turned on FRR's Inner Sphere foes... or in a less likely alternative, if 7-day Mercenary contracts with FRR lapse or are bought out, freeing Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance forces for Steiner and Kurita Offensive efforts.)


4;34EST - Dropping for fifth defense of Islewind against a 7-man PHL effort. Same exact Enemy focus on Alpha and attrition warfare. (RESULT: Despite an 8 Mech advantage in kills our 3 non-TS Smoke Jaguars and 9 Clan Ally team was only able to hold back the #ThunderRush for 29-minutes. Still, we held fast to a good PHL team for 30 to 40 minutes.)


5:09EST - The Clan defensive lull continues with Irece and Liezen now both 80% occupied by the Enemy. Ferlieten remains 100% enemy occupied. Chateau continues to see the most combat with 60+ in both queues. Idlewind is at 40 Attackers and 48 Defenders. 33 Attackers continue to drop unopposed on Irece, despite 4 Defenders valiantly remaining in its Defender's queue.

Enemy focus is now beginning to shift from consolidating apparent wins on four Clan worlds to a fifth Clan world Beta VII, a Clan Jade Falcon possession.


5:52EST - If ceasefire were to fall at this moment, Five Clan worlds would be wrestled from our control by the Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance: Chateau (93%), Ferleiten (100%), Idlewind (66%), Irece (93%), and Liezen (60%) with the latest Alliance surge against Beta VII being held in check at 6%.

Trothkin... we have the Enemy overextended and invested on too many fronts, with our main forces and best Units and Solos held in reserve for this very situation.

Over the course of these next 5 hours Clan Honor, Unit Integrity, Solo Perseverance and Warrior Skill will be sorely tested.

Who will be found wanting?

Who will reverse the Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance gains of today's earlier hours?

Join me in combatting these worthy Mercenary Units we currently test our mettle against... and whom tomorrow, just may decide to join us in our epic struggle with the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere!


6:01EST - Changed Personal tactics and dropped against Kurita forces on Irece. A very workmanlike and successful defense on Boreal Vault ensued. Great support again from worthy Wolf, Bear and Falcon Warriors. My thanks for coming to Smoke Jaguar's aide. I look forward to assisting your next defense in retired... but better yet, renewing our offensive to liberate Terra.


6:53EST - Dropping on Irece again for a Counterattack. (RESULT: Despite 7 non-TS Smoke Jaguars and a Star of 5 valiant Ghost Bear warriors, we were unable to liberate this sector.)


7:19EST - The Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance continues its transition to an attack on Beta VII. More than 60 gamers are currently in each queue. However the tide is beginning to shift as Clan Defender numbers are on the rise and sectors earlier lost are being reclaimed.

"Would you like to know more?" (Sorry for the cheesy quote from Starship Troopers.)


7:31EST(three and a half hours till Ceasefire) through 11:00EST - Conducting multiple drops with limited opportunity to update this running operate all assessment.

Increased Combat is being realized on all worlds in contention as Clan CW resources come fully on line.

Six planets in danger of falling to the Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance. Local reverses of Enemy Attacks are being realized as Clans unite for a common defense of winnable Worlds. Plans proceed to take the fight to the Inner Sphere in this AND subsequent CW cycles.

Calls need to be made as to preserving Irece or pushing on Teniente...



CEASEFIRE SUMMARY: Five Clan worlds were lost today. Many a brave Clan Unit and Soloist engaged in countless desperate defensive efforts. The single Clan Offensive Victory came as Clan Ghost Bear reduced the Kurita Pocket around Nykvarn that had existed for much too long between Ghost Bear and Smoke Jaguar invasion corridors.

PROCEDURAL NOTE: The above detailed and time-referenced CW evolution was an enjoyable exercise in pattern tracking and analysis. It represents a proof of concept and will serve as a point of departure for tomorrow' planned succinct and abbreviated notes.. itself another proof of concept.

Thank you for your time and patience in reading this all the way to the very... End.

Will bring in the boys later tonight then, SA will send reinforcements to Irece and ensure our Territory on Idlewind!

We have adopted the same tech or similar to what DERP is using....16%-20% go defend. Under that, go On Offensive.

We managed to get 2 solid 12 man's together last night one was hard attacking Irece while we ran off a FRR Company (1st and someone else) from Idlewind as well as Knocking a win or two off.

Keep up the pressure Trothkin! CSJ is STRONG!

Cloak and Dagger is for the weak, Clan Smoke Jaguar has no need for this. As Star Captain DarthRevis said, you know what we are doing...can you stop us?

At this point, some consolidation of forces may become necessary to hold off attacks on Idlewind and Irece.

I'm not entirely sure if we have enough forces to take on the current Kurita planet though (Teniente).

We'll see.

Thank you Zionkan, it was an honor and privilege to fight beside the great warriors of Clan Jade Falcon.

I look forward toward the inevitable amelioration of this current Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance and the eventual reclamation of our temporarily lost worlds and renewed march on Davion Space!!! ...err, Terra, I meant to say Terra.
