A Fallen Leader

Rico, regretting how his reckless tactics on Bothawui resulted in such heavy casualties, confides in Racket that, after Dodger's death, Rico lost sight of the big picture. Racket consoles him, but Rico decides to take a leave of absence, and leave Racket in charge while Rico will start turning the planet's they've conquered into a New Republic and running relief missions to the people.

Battle Results
To defend the planet, Racket decides to copy the Empire's previous stragety by ambushing the large approaching force of droid infantry and tanks from both sides of the valley to the planet's main base. He also alters the plan by sending eading a charge of AT-RTs into the valley. Roughly half the droid force will stay back, behind the leading group, while Racket does the same, staying near the base with an AT-TE.

The clones and droids exchange fire at once, the clones quickly decimating the droid infantry. The droids at the back regroup to continue firing while their tanks prove problematic for Rico's Brigade, but go down through sheer volume of fire.

The secondary droid force advances, while Racket orders his men on the sides of the valleys to fall back to the main base, where they establish a defensive line in front of the AT-TE. Most of the AT-RTs go down, and the droids slowly advance, and get wiped out portion by portion until deciding to spread out and advance all at once, but still fall in droves to the clones small arm and AT-TE fire.

Figuring the droids will retreat soon, Racket orders his forces to advance, the AT-TE providing cover. The droids are quickly wiped out.
