Battle
Courchevel was conquered by Clan Smoke Jaguar in September 3050 during the Fourth Wave of Operation REVIVAL. It involved the Trinary Command, First Assault Supernova and Second Assault Supernova of the 362nd Assault Cluster facing off against the defending Tenth Alshain Regulars. While the Tenth Regulars had prepared hardened positions on the Harcourt Plains to face the Smoke Jaguars, they were surprised on the first day of battle when the fast-moving 'Mechs of the two Supernovas arrived an hour early and caught them in the open. The engagement quickly became a bloodbath, with the Tenth fighting a series of intense battles to extricate themselves and fall back towards the rocky ground of Dragon's Rift. Star Colonel Emilie Wimmer had expected such a maneuver though, and her Command Trinary was waiting for them in the Rift when the DCMS forces arrived. The tattered regiment finally surrendered shortly after dawn on the second day.[1]
Aftermath
The lone surviving element to the Tenth Alshain, the aerospace fighter company known as Shrieking Skies, was folded into the Tenth Pesht Regulars.[2]
Clan Smoke Jaguar would only retain Courchevel for a little over a year, losing it to Clan Nova Cat in their 3051 Trial.[3]
