OOC: it was more of a tank charge at this point, but either way you're relying on heavy anti-armor artillery at this point. I think the 109th Cavalry can make their appearance.

IC: The advancing walkers are all halted in their advance, as are many of the smaller tanks. The remaining tanks continue to press their advance, often using the gutted hulks of downed walkers as cover. Meanwhile, a cloaked Antares class frigate spreads chaff above Federation radar emplacements, causing their systems to be overloaded with hundreds of thousands of contacts, and blurring the real targets.

Now came the next wave of IMG troops, but they were not walkers, or tanks, it was the 109th Motorcycle Cavalry. The roar of 600 motorcycles, 300 of which are fitted with weapon sidecars, mixes with the din of the battle. They sprayed the Federation forces with machine gun fire from both the riders and 200 or so Gatling sidecars, along with heavier fire from another 100 or so sidecars fitted with 155mm recoilless heavy guns. The swarm of small targets combined with the chaff dropped directly on the radar positions proves too much for the Railgun batteries, and they are unable to hit the approaching units. They charge towards the Railgun batteries, impaling Federation ground troops with their bayoneted machine guns as they pass.
