Group as needed :)

Command : Marauder II, Cyclops, Goliath, Cataphract, Phoenix Hawk,

Fire Support: Marauder, JagerMech, Centurion, Centurion, Enforcer

Recon: Quickdraw Assassin Firestarter Tarantula Commando

Battle : Charger, Grasshopper, Ostroc, Cataphract, Hunchback

Fire Support: Catapult, Thunderbolt, Whitworth, Whitworth, Centurion

Cataphract, JagerMech, Whitworth Short unit.

You could add the Gladiator (55 tonner) and Icarus II to the mix to increase your Marian machismo.

Your 2nd century command maniple only has 4 mechs.

If you like one of the maniples Fast Attack, because there are 28 mechs not the 30 that would have full cohort

As Saint says, I would add perhaps a gladiator or two, or Icarus and Emperor (The Icarus Fast Atack and the Emperor in the Comand maniple

I hope most of your units are *ahem* Maid'n Marian hegemony? :o

Don't forget, I was specifically asking for two more lights to finish the group. Gonna have to check out those Crosscuts. :)

Saint · « **Reply #244 on:** 23 July 2016, 20:30:33 »

Add two Locust LCT-1V2s :)

Weirdo · « **Reply #245 on:** 23 July 2016, 23:22:02 »

Those might be fun...

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #246 on:** 24 July 2016, 10:51:31 »

If you want to have mixed centuries... Instead of 2 lights you could add 2 gladius.

Weirdo · « **Reply #247 on:** 24 July 2016, 11:02:22 »

I'm planning to keep this Cohort mech-only. For the two Auxilia Legio, I'm going to add two conventional Cohorts, where all my infantry and vees will be found.

Martius · « **Reply #248 on:** 24 July 2016, 14:08:51 »

Would add some Locust 1V2s or perhaps COM 4Hs.

Stingers or wasp would work too.

Arkansas Warrior · « **Reply #250 on:** 25 July 2016, 00:58:55 »

A pair of Fox-bought Piranhas to deal with pesky infantry.

So I'm looking into finally filling out my VI Legio minis into a proper cohort, and while I'm actually a lot closer than I expected, there's still a few gaps, plus the matter of actually grouping everything into Maniples and Centuries. Here's what I have so far:

Marauder II
Cyclops
Goliath
Charger
Marauder
Grasshopper
Cataphract
Cataphract
Cataphract
Thunderbolt
JagerMech
JagerMech
Catapult
Ostroc
Quickdraw
Hunchback
Enforcer
Centurion
Centurion
Centurion
Phoenix Hawk
Whitworth
Whitworth
Whitworth
Assassin
Firestarter
Tarantula
Commando

I just need two more light mechs to fill it out to a full Cohort, and then I need to group everything into Maniples and Centuries. About the only thing I know for certain is that I want the unit CO in the MAD II, the P-Hawk to also be in the command Century, and at least one of the Cataphracts to not be in command of anything. Any ideas?

Hmm, my own suggestion above doesn't actually help when it comes to sorting the unit into viable Maniples, but I'll go with it anyway.

Command Maniple
1st Century: Marauder II, Cyclops, Goliath, Phoenix Hawk, Firestarter
2nd Century: Catapult, Whitworth, Whitworth, Whitworth, Hunchback

Battle Maniple
1st Century: Marauder, Cataphract, Ostroc, Centurion, Centurion
2nd Century: Cataphract, Cataphract, Jagermech, Jagermech, Centurion

Maneuver Maniple
1st Century: Charger(-1A9), Quickdraw, Grasshopper, Thunderbolt(-9M), Enforcer
2nd Century: Assassin, Tarantula, Commando, Piranha, Piranha

The Command maniple gives you a command century with three assaults to protect your CO and two scouts (including the extreme flexibility of the Firestarter, which can do everything from slaughter PBIs to set screening fires to cover retreats, as well as scout) and a second century set up for firesupport that includes an integral bodyguard.
The Battle Maniple is pretty straightforward, mostly medium-heavy mainline combatants, though the Jagermechs add AAA utility.
The Maneuver maniple has one all-jumper Century and one that can make at least 6/9 (whereas all the unit's other Centuries can only go 4/6 if they mean to stay together).

A great idea- I recently grew very fond of the Wasp 3P. 7/11/7, ER medium and a RL 10 is not bad combination.

Giovanni Blasini · « **Reply #253 on:** 27 July 2016, 22:00:50 »

The WSP-3P is definitely one of the best of the bunch.

Played a game last night for the global AS event with my IVth Legio vs Jade Falcons. IV Legio won. I posted it to the challenges and gathers thread I started and to my BTI AS page on FB.

5 centuries vs 2 stars. It was a fun game.

To quote some obscure Russian "Quantity has a quality all its own"

So, what was left of your Marian force?

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #257 on:** 01 August 2016, 10:06:21 »

Century I

Archer
Zeus
Cataphract
Thunderbolt
Marauder

Century II

Locust
Clint
Hermes
Cicada
Spider

Century III

Glados x4
Saracen

Century IV

Srm jump platoon x3
Flamer jump platoon x2

Century V

Karnov ( standard ) x2
Karnov ( AC )
Ferret ( cargo )
Lrm carrier.

I lost the Cataphract and Clint to forced withdraw, and the Zeus blew up.

I destroyed nearly all the JF force.

Did they go for the mechs only, or try to wreck the vehs/inf along with engaging the mechs?

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #259 on:** 01 August 2016, 12:52:47 »

I think I overwealmed my opponents actually. They weren't quite sure what to do with everything I fielded. They left everything alone except the mechs, but I used good placement on my moves too.

Martius · « **Reply #260 on:** 16 September 2016, 07:31:07 »

With the newest MUL update we got the Turhan on our list. 5t infantry bay- hurray! O0

Of course in games that are restricted by era we will have troubles to justify fielding it but for more casual games it is great.

Weirdo · « **Reply #261 on:** 16 September 2016, 09:06:56 »

Wait, what? HOW?! :o

What eras?

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #262 on:** 16 September 2016, 09:52:41 »

Which one? I just checked and don't see it for us... WoB, RoTS and some times DC.

Xiwo Xerase · « **Reply #263 on:** 16 September 2016, 12:57:17 »

The Turhan is in the Periphery General availability list for the Star League and Early Succession War eras.

Saint · « **Reply #264 on:** 16 September 2016, 13:08:42 »

And we now have stats for the primitive Archer, not a bad ride for its tech level. :)

Makes sense, though given that the Hegemony didn't exist back then, I don't think it helps us any...

Martius · « **Reply #266 on:** 17 September 2016, 17:43:11 »

Is what I meant that we might have troubles to justify fielding it in most games.... but it is there! :D

The primitive Archer is indeed a pretty beast and I look forward to field it as part of a support century.

Adacas · « **Reply #267 on:** 17 September 2016, 19:19:08 »

Question, we can infer that we are mechs user only state them we could be building them? Because they look really weird things in the MUL... My interest in mechs the Dark Age Era

Weirdo · « **Reply #268 on:** 17 September 2016, 23:22:25 »

...whu ???

Saint · « **Reply #269 on:** 18 September 2016, 09:44:40 »

I think it's more likely the Hegemony is buying up the primitive mechs from the houses. They would be dropping primitives for more advanced models.
