The Precentor Martial was in the Tamo Mountains, not far from the Smoke Jaguars.

As for the IlKhan bidding away WarShips, you wrote it that way a little bit earlier (or I misread it).

I like the Tamo Mountains operation but I would make it happen a little bit earlier as otherwise the IlKhan might agree the Clans have lost.
There is also a slight problem with your plan as I read somewhere that ComGuards attacked a landing zone while a Clan was retreating. Why would they do something else right now?

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake

Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

To make the Warship bid relevant.

Instead of interrogation revealing the location of the Bunker Khan Djerassi had his Warships using their sensors system's and (by Day 20) tuned in Neutrino Detection System crack the location of the command bunker. 

Without firing a shot the Scorpion's Naval Star sets the stage for the climatic battle, the capture of Focht.

Ciao

Fitzgerald, I like this idea.  Consider it adopted.

MA

To pour salt in metaphorical wounds Nikolia always can quip "Information is ammunition"

For a double burn against the Falcons and Mandrill's. Both Modern and Historic.

The Mandrill's by recalling their bidding away of intelligence assets in Op: Klondike and the disruptions it caused their offensive on Dagda.

Ciao

All mechwarriors are subject to that so it evens out.

More seriously, that was a strategic and logistical flaw. Tactically they performed quite well, so any belief in their superiority may have been justified.

I forgot that Falcon Rising is a book by Thurston.  Duh!  This work will henceforth be named:  Scorpio Ascendant.

It was a what if scenario.

One point I just found in favour of the now defunct orbital bombardment was the Jaguar strikes on Circe during the Mongoose Absorption, where the Jags used the tactic to clear thier landing zones.
