Summary

The unit's mechs wait to meet the enemy mech company. The BattleMaster is out delaying the armor company from crossing the river. The air battle commences as the units air lance goes up against six enemy fighters.

The enemy mech company waits at long range for the air battle to finish. The Blowfish wait also. Finally the Blowfish fighters are driven off with one shot down. The Blowfish retreat as the enemy fighters strafe the fish.

The Concordat Jaegers give chase. One lance catches up with Clyde, Roy, Omar, and Mary. A short and bitter fight results a Jaeger retreat. The rest of the Blowfish regroup under Sir Wrigley. A strong charge from the Jaeger forces breaks the unit and they scatter to the winds. Eventually the remnants regroup at the rendezvous point at the start of the swamp.

At this point the battle has gone badly in other fronts and the general retreat order is given to the Blowfish. After some internal discussion the fish decide to retreat with the rest of the Capellan forces.
