From Richard:
"This is a couple of pictures from me and Addisons 500tv game a few weeks ago.
Addison's CEF won the day over my SRA units in a hard fought engagement.
During the conflict Maj. Toht, the political officer in a Jeager moved too far into the front in a brave attempt to recon a cowardly CEF force hiding behind a hill. He was ambushed and engaged in hand-to-hand combat; a melee he would have obviously won; when a volley of mortors rained down from above striking both he and his opponent. He was heavily damaged, but survived. His opponent took a hit and was stunned. Toht saw an opening and struck with his vibro blade and penetrated the CEF Flail's torso, killing the pilot instantly.
The volley of mortor were fired by an SRA pilot. Sam Trainer, the pilot of a Spitting Cobra saw his chance for some payback to that bastard Toht. Six months previous Maj. Toht had cited Davian Trainer, Sam's brother for not following regulations and had him tranfered to a post in the Badlands. Davian was killed a week later in a battle with Northern gears. Sam fired the mortors at the CEF flail and SRA Jeager secretly hoping the mortors would take out both. There was a 50/50 shot. Maybe today wasn't his day after all. At the last minute the Jeager went low and was shielded from most of the damage. Maj. Arnold Toht had survived and was probably wondering what idiot had almosst killed him.
Crackling with static from damage or volume, Toht's voice came through the com. "Who the frack fired......"
His rant was cut short as the Flail's comrade fired his weapon at point blank range and found its mark.
Toht didn't even see the kill shot coming.
Sam's Spitting Cobra now had a clear shot on the Flail and the enemy pilot knew it. With hand signal of non agression to the surviving Flail, Sam piloted his gear to the west as the call came through to fall back and wait for reinforcements. Davian was avengend and that snake Major Toht was surely on his way to hell."
