The following is an account of the Clan Jade Falcon's battle lineage as conducted in our MNA chapter. Most of the engagements are post invasion. We have re-enacted all of the Jade Falcon Tukayyid battles with significantly different results. If the outcome of our battles were ever to be considered by FASA or their team of writers, the Com Guards would be back on Earth awaiting the Falcons arrival. The Falcons emerged victorious in every scenario, with substantially fewer losses than was fortold in the books. I'll let you be the judge...
Twycross, Steel Viper Occupation Zone
7 December 3057
Clan Jade Falcon Forces: Falcon Guards (Jade Falcon Galaxy)
Clan Wolf Forces: Trinary Alpha, Beta Galaxy
Major Battle Sites: Plain of Curtains, Great Gash
Outcome: This battle started on the Plain of Curtains and quickly turned into a
close quarters combat drill. The Falcon and Wolf 'Mechs were forced to engage at close range
due to miserable weather conditions. The Wolves set up a box and one formation hoping to stop
the Falcons wedge spearhead. The Wolves lost an entire Trinary of Assault OmniMechs and four
MechWarriors before they realized this plan would not work. They finally decided to conducted
a tactical retreat to the Great Gash with the hopes that the Falcons would not follow due
to their tainted past here. The Falcons did not follow. The Wolves then set up an ambush for
the Falcons around the rim of the Great Gash. Khan Natasha Kerensky called Star Colonel
Ravell Pryde to entice him into her trap. It wasn't until early the next morning that Natasha
realized her mistake. Star Colonel Pryde, suspecting such a tactic did an end run and hit the
Wolves at 0400 on 8 December 3057. Caught off guard, the Wolves lost another Trinary of OmniMechs
before they knew what hit them. Finally deciding this battle was do or die, they stood there
ground. Not a single Wolf 'Mech survived to leave the battlefield. The Falcons suffered a very
low casualty rate, losing only seven 'Mechs and one MechWarrior. Khan Natasha Kerensky tried
to get Star Colonel Ravell Pryde to commit to a batchall. He did. He bid Star Commander Joanna
to fight for the Falcons against Natasha under the rules of Zellbrigen. Reluctant at first,
Khan Natashia accepted and met Joanna on the floor of the Great Gash a midnight. Natashia
driving her Dire Wolf and Joanna in her Mad Dog. Natashia fought
well but Joanna had her 'Mech field configured with an advanced targeting system. Joanna was
able to literally pick Natasha's Dire Wolf apart piece by piece. After Joanna
relieved Natasha's 'Mech of its primary weapons, she offered Hegira. Refusing such a
terrible defeat, Natasha charged her 'Mech at Joanna, enraged Joanna focused all of her weapons
on the onrushing Dire Wolf and squeezed the trigger. It a shower of sparks and
flame the head of the Dire Wolf was gone. And so on December 8, 3057, Khan
Natasha Kerensky of Clan Wolf, the infamous Black Widow, died amid the blood-red sands
of Twycross at the hands of an aging warrior of the Clan Jade Falcon.
