Huh? Not sure I follow.

He's saying that Rico should have been in a Wasp LAM, not a non-transformable Wasp.

Random Question: Is FSS Black Bear suppose to be a Defender-Class Battlecruiser or she just a ship with HPG on it?

Gotcha. Which is why I pointed out you used a WSP-1L instead of a LAM. I was trying not to blindingly obvious in the thread itself, though.

I figured killing him off made it clear it was, in the words of Top Gun, the international symbol of disrespect, rather than a homage.

And if our editor was less on the ball, you'd have seen an even worse sign of disrespect in my writing, but alas... "Wolverweenie" will just have to be my little pet name for the damned thing.

How does that work? If you take something like the DCMS, and you compile all the existing references, how many regiments do you end up with? Then how do you determine how many unnamed and unreferenced ones would exist?

We're you surprised by the final number after calculating it? If you had made a guess before the process started, how many regiments would you have guessed?

Actually, for several of the Houses there were pre-existing quotes on how large their forces were, going back to the original House books and Stuff like TRO3025.

So it was a matter of taking all the numbers, comparing them to known units and from there try to determine which units existed at the time and so forth. And a balance had to be maintained after all.

(that is how the numbers in the Field Report 2765s were created, and they were used as the basis for 1st SW).

Just look at what happened to the Federated Suns. It took him 30 years, but he got the poor sods in the end.

Surely it would have to be different combinations of white, blue and red in a cross shape?

So now that Interstellar Operations includes Inner Sphere at War (or "ISW"), is the official short-hand for this book "1SW"?

Also, I noticed that the list of former SLDF units which remained behind did not include the Star League Expeditionary Brigade, nor their affiliated Avatar-class WarShip SLS Pioneer.

Is the information in ISP3 concerning their ultimate fate considered to be "official", or does it have a qualifier due to it being in an "Interstellar Players" volume? And either way, would they not count for the list in this book anyway, since the SLEB was seemingly disbanded prior to the Exodus?

(Which might raise a question as to how so many of its former members, plus their dependents, managed to slip away with their old WarShip. Or how long it seemingly took for them to make it as far as Paran...)
