Realizing that while the Sixth included a number of Cavalry veterans, the bulk were green unblooded trainees, the taskforce commander [[General]] [[Panos Fujikawa]] of the [[Illician Lancers]] ordered his troops to strike the defenders hard. As he assumed in the face of the blitzkrieg the Sixth did nothing but give ground, nearly breaking twice, though Baxter narrowly managed to maintain his unit's cohesion and pull his troops back to Fort McCarron. The Sirdar CMM placed the encircled Fort under siege while the [[59th Strike Regiment]] promptly captured the facilities of [[McCarron's Trading Company]], sending the Sixth into a frenzy.<ref name=HWo39-128/>

Baxter's enraged MechWarriors left Fort McCarron and hit the 59th Striker's rear, but the more experienced and agile Illicians brushed off the attack and retaliated, trapping the Sixth between them and the Sirdar CMM. The Sixth were forced to call upon their fighter squadrons to extricate themselves, but not before significant damage was inflicted on MTC's shipping yards and warehouses. The Davion forces instead focused on Fort McCarron, launching two weeks of minor probing raids which the MAC fighters forced back until heavy rain began to blanket the region.<ref name=HWo39-128/>

With the enemy fighters now grounded, the Lancers struck in force, effortlessly barreling through the planet's militia forces and smashing Baxter's forces. In those two days of severe weather the FedCom troops utterly destroyed the Sixth MAC and laid waste to Fort McCarron, plundering what supplies they could before [[CCAF]] reinforcements in the form of [[Warrior House LuSann]] landed on August 23rd, pulling out two days later.<ref name=HWo39-128/>
