Turn 1 - Initiative Draconis Combine

With their objective in mind Pilot A in the Dragon and Pilot B in the Jenner rush forward from the North beach and begin wading into the water, hoping to avoid too much enemy fire until they close with their primary target. Pilot C in the FedSun Assassin rushes up the nearby cliff to fire off a quick LRM salvo before they lose sight of their attackers but they fly wide. The already entrenched Pilot D in the JagerMech, posted here in case of air attack, blazes away with his Autocannons raking fire across the Jenner's torso and left arm armour. The Dragon fires an LRM salvo towards the approaching assassin but misses his mark.

The Draconis Mechs enter the deep water and disappear from the FedSuns vision, the Dragon misses its footing and falls causing insignificant damage to its left torso. Saving some embarrassment Pilot A manages to stand again. The FedSun Mechs stand their ground while the infantry leave their posts and begin their advance through cover towards the approaching enemy.

Turn 3 - Initiative Draconis Combine

The Draconis continue their advance along the seabed, meanwhile the JagerMech moves from it's high cover hoping to provide flanking fire as the Combine Mechs emerge from the water.

Turn 4 - Initiative Draconis Combine

The Dragon emerges from the sea as the FedSun Assassin ignites his jumpjets and lands in the surf within short range, intent on bringing the fight to the aggressors. The Jenner swiftly reacts and turns to face the Assassin upon it's own climb from the ocean. The JagerMech takes position on the bridge and turns its weapons on the Jenner catching the right flank while the assassin attacks from the front, their combine firepower peppering the Jenner's right torso and arm and a lucky Autocannon shot glances off the head armour. The Jenner returns fire at the Assassin leaving some scorch marks on the torso while Pilot A decides to focus her longer range weaponry at the JagerMech, firing off an LRM salvo and a burst of autocannon fire,  a lucky hit destroys the smaller autocannon on the left arm.
