The big day had come! Before the Larkinson Battalion fought its first match against the Ginetzy Battalion, the other two competitors in Group A fought against each other first.
The Quizlam Battalion and the Heartfall Battalion both put up a good fight.
As their future opponents, the Larkinsons studied their mechs and strategies carefully.
The random battlefield generated by the arena settled upon a cratered, airless planet environment.
While much of the terrain was fairly open, the many craters along with the high amount of hills and slopes resulted in plenty of shallow cover.
Aerial mechs could easily gain a good view over the battlefield, but there was nothing for them to hide behind if they got targeted.
The Heartfall Battalion initially deployed a wave of light mechs in the air. However, as soon as they flew high enough, they immediately came under withering fire from well-entrenched rifleman mechs!
