Overall, I’d call the mission a success.
Casualties were higher than I’d hoped. Yes. I know, even a single casualty is too many. I’ve written to all of their families, but, with your permission, I’d like to deliver them personally.
We have to find out where the bastards are getting all of those Assaultrons. Without them, I think we could have managed a lossless walkover. Isabel’s little project took out the one our recon team had spotted, but they had two more tucked away out of sight. All the heads were salvaged, so we should at least get two or three more Izzys out of the deal.
There was only one Sentry Bot, and the incendiary launchers kept it tied down until we could deploy the pulse lances. I think the first one was all we needed, but we used three, just to be sure. Overkill beats underkill, just like you taught me.
I was disappointed with the mortars. Our teams need a lot more live fire practice with them. I wouldn’t recommend full deployment until we get the production problems worked out on the rounds. They made a lot of noise, and kept a lot of heads down, but more bang than buck.
Both of the sniper teams were excellent. Hendricks in particular, she’s better than I ever was. Zero leadership potential, and she’s gonna continue to be a discipline problem when she’s not in the field, but goddamn can she shoot.
Once the last Assaultron went down, they tried to retreat, but I sent the mounted reserve in and mopped them up. The bugles scared the crap out of them even before the sabers started their work. We accounted for every single one of the bastards. Yes sir, I am certain. The company paybook was recovered, and we matched them all up. The blood type tattoos helped, as did the more cooperative prisoners. Twenty-four, including two sergeants.
We didn’t get much useful intel out of them, but I think some time in the Memory Scroungers might shake a few things loose.
Fall River is in our hands, as is the bridge to Portsmouth. Initial reconnaissance shows little sign of occupation of the island, so I anticipate securing Newport by the end of the month. After that, all I’ll need is enough boats to get us over to Narragansett, and we’ll be in position to take Providence from below. Give us a big, noisy anvil north of them, and we will hammer the shit out of them for you. Fast and hard.
We need some fine-tuning on tactics and supply, but overall, I think the organization is solid. Holdren’s synth horses are everything we hoped and more.
Major, the First Commonwealth Cavalry Division is at your service.
