Line 98:
Line 98: During the [[Fourth Succession War]], the League hoped to take advantage of the Confederation's distraction. In November 3028 they made another push on Menkalinan, led by Second Battalion, [[First Free Worlds Guards]], a heavy [[BattleMech]] unit. In a stroke of supreme bad luck, they launched their offensive at precisely the same time as the Federated Suns mercenary unit [[Screaming Eagles|First Screaming Eagles]]. [[Force Commander]] [[Kisha Bavara]] was advancing on the capital city of Carosasha over the Straits of Denar when the Screaming Eagles made planetfall just thirty kilometers southeast of the Guards. Bavara halted and requested orders from her superiors on [[Berenson]]. [[Colonel]] [[Walter Hokala]] warily advanced his forces toward the capital through the Rika Valley, coming into close contact with the Guards who observed them from the high ground. For three hours the Eagles slowly passed the Guards' position with no actions or communication.

Eagle aerospace units made repeated passes against both forces but were far more effective against the Confederation flank as League 'Mechs were capable of accurate Anti-Air fire but the aerospace sorties were intended primarily as a distraction. Second Battalion under the command of [[Major]] Saunders was composed mostly of [[BattleMech#Light|light]] BattleMechs and were able to flank the Guards, causing havoc in the rear areas. Now in danger of being surrounded herself, Bavara ordered a retreat of all League forces, a movement she undertook without informing the Confederation forces.
