Turn 2 Results - Solaris VII - 3 Lakes Valley

The turn got off to an explosive start with Yohan Maxwell being almost killed in a freak ammo explosion caused by Maxwell Drake's Wolverine penetrating the LTR.
Although managing to escape the inferno, he'll be nursing a sore head & a broken arm for a few weeks after getting caught in a tree. His parter, Sven Reidall appears to be in trouble as well, backing his 'mech directly in front of Maxwell Drake as he jumps over Sven's head.
There are some large exchanges of missile fire between Hiroshi Yaeger, Toshi Tanaga & Big Joe Duke, most having little effect except for some engine damage to Big Joe's Orion. Red O'Conner & Sean O'Mally (Brian#13 & #14) rejoin the battle after lying prone for 2 turns.

Wayne scores 49vp for destroying a 'mech by ammo explosion.

Jesse was the only person I didn't receive orders from this turn. (Although you were very lucky, Ben.)

Turn 3 orders due 30 April 1998.
