To return back to 'Mechs and vehicles, could Regulans use Marauder MAD-9M and MAD-9M2? I would say they can build them on Wallis, and if not build them then salvage them. Which leads me to interesting MAD-6M Marauder II with suite of pulse lasers. Does anyone know where this 'Mech is (re)built? I mean, can Regulans get their hands on it?

TR3085 specifically says Wallis is making the MAD-9M2.  I thik all the former FWL remnants can refit the MAD-6M.  There's no reason listed to exclude the Regulans.

They're building Marauders and Warhammers on Wallis in the Marik book, so I'd assume they can get their hands on the MAD-9M and 9M2.  (The other Marauder line in the FWL was on Gibson, so, uh, blame Regulus!)

As far as the Marauder II, they may be able to redevelop it in-house, but that would be a major undertaking.

O.K., I wasn't sure if there isn't mentioned elsewhere something about MAD-6M, thanks.

Regulans could use Warhammers? WHM-8D and -8M? Maybe some older WHM-7M?

As you may see from my userbar, I used to be fan of 13th Marik Militia, but when I read they defected to Blakists ... I wasn't pleased to say it gently.   :(

Irian makes/made the MAD-9M and MAD-9M2.  Wallis reverse engineered the 9M2 and is building that model.

MAD-4S's were sold to everybody, including the FWL (TR Project Phoenix).  MAD-6M is a refit of the Marauder II (TR3085).  So I assume the 6M is a refit of the 4S.  FWL isn't buildling new Marauder IIs.

I'm well aware of the Marauder II's production status.  That was a suggestion that Ronin might be able to reverse engineer the design and create their own line, not a suggestion that the FWL was building them.

They could reverse engineer Daishi's and make an assault FWL omni too, but there's no indication that they have :).

eventually Iran folds into the republic anyway, which keeps the mech factory (secretly) operating and pumping out Marauder IIs.  the five major rebel factions, a Cappelan Task Force, the ROTS and the Northwind Highlanders all fought a massive war over it, with Katana Tormark's Dragons fury taking the factory
