Looks like a stand up fight, Commander. 2 companies facing off with equal odds of success. Home-fielders on base have 4 lances plus infantry and aerospace in support, while our attacking force wields equal lances plus armor, jump infantry, and an aerospace fighter in support.

They have the wall advantage on our side, Commander, but I guess the base didn't want lake-maintainance in their budget. We've got a nice cool spot right near our IF# nest egg. We can use both to great effect.

The enemy is afforded more cover, but their greater defense area may be to their detriment, only time will tell.

As always, I'll prepare an after action report to keep you updated on the ongoing fluid strategic state of the modern 3049 battlefield. I have a feeling this data will be sorely needed very soon...
