Well Freeborn is different from Freebirth. Freeborns are of course not produced by Clan eugenics programs but rather are natural births. Freebirth is a Trueborn Clan insult disparaging someone's heritage.

However, I am aware of the unit and their participation at the Battle of Luthien.

I suppose I could include these lesser warriors as the Jaguars would rather use Freeborn warriors than InnerSphere Bondsman and they are suffering a manpower shortage no matter what their political stance would be. Given their prejudice against using such lesser troops we could delve into what truly constitutes the Jag Touman. Freeborns could still have been used all along in Police Clusters to govern over civilians (other Freeborns) for the warrior caste. Then given the need for warriors after Luthien and Tukayyid these warriors could have been called up to augment Provisional Garrison Cluster which are still not frontline commands. Let me check the saKhan election to see if this policy has officially changed.

Smoke Jaguar saKhan Election (February 3053)
https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=56462.0

That would make three categories (Testdowns, Seconds, Freeborns) for the opposition here. What do you think the breakdown would be? Testdowns or those displaced by the Crusader Harvest (my contention) would probably be given a another chance in frontline service before Seconds.

Objective Raids doesn't given a skill rating or loyalty for Psi Galaxy (or any Clan troops for that matter). What do you guys think the average skill and loyalty would be for the opposition here? Remember that Clan Regular is the same as InnerSphere Veteran (3/4).

Well givenMontizima's first reform to enhance the strength of the Clan is to permit a Third Trial of Position for Smoke Jaguar Trueborn Warriors who if successful can go onto serve in the Watch or Clan police forces
Also having him as the sakhan explains why we have # of Aerospace fighters we will have to face.
But still even in this AU they are struggling with need for troops.  Those freeborn/birth (unfortantly they use the terms intermixed) enforcers to maintain order are need.
I think 3 of the bloodnamed here they failed warriors
even with the sakhan system... the need for Jag Warriors, if you send those 3 trial soldiers to the 2nd line force as "enforcers"  but

My view would be we are looking at average of clan regulars
Breakdown of force
Testdown - U have them 3 bloodnames
2nd- 10%  mostly Mech/Elementals/Aero  (maybe any non-CSJ warriors)
3rd- 10%  mostly Mech/Elementals/Aero
Freeborn- Most of the Vehicle, Infantry, filling the gaps of Mech/Elementals/Aero
And based on canon ideas [freebirth warriors often raided the Draconis Combine border worlds between 3053 and 3059 and Clusters of Inner Sphere Bondsmen were being raised prior to Operation Bulldog.], and the fact there are always those who go over to enemy to be their bully boys for "better treatment"
Inner Sphere Local forces = maybe 20% of the Infantry, 10% of the Vehicles

Is there any canon citations for Freeborn Jaguar Warriors as of 3053? Seeing how negatively Kotare's freeborn views were taken could there be a backlash against them serving in second line units?? I could increase the number of fighters (full trinary), infantry (full trinary), while removing a Mech trinary.

Well you have them being used on Battle of Luthien in 3052, which shows they had to be pulled from somewhere.  Now the The 22nd Freebirth Cluster preformance there isn't going to win any love from Kotare.
and the only reference I have in front of me currently is Sarna, but if I can find my copy of Hotspots FASA product 1679 at home, I can confirm or admit I'm wrong for beleiving in Sarna that on pg 46  freebirth warriors often raided the Draconis Combine border worlds between 3053 and 3059

it maybe a case of, while we would love not to need freeborn, but we need them to do those task not worthy of our real Warriors.  But even when they serve in are insults why they are called Freebirth units.

From a purely game balance perspective, more ASFs would be disastrous for us...

Gonna retain the original forces stated Daryk as I finally resolved what to do with the Freeborns. These 'warriors' will serve in Vehile Crews and Infantry exclusively supplementing Trueborns who are Mecwarriors and Aerospace Pilots.

Another factor in this freeborn role will be the Jaguar decision to forsake vehicles as useful military equipment. Police equipment sure but these antiquated weapons have no place on the modern battlefield.

I did find the reference in Hot Spots to Freeborn raiders which could be an effort to blood such inexperienced warriors against InnerSphere dezgra. But that was canon and we are in a little different circumstances here.

Thirds will not be part of this force and occupy a place in third line forces (police or the watch) only. This means that Seconds and Testdowns will compose second line garrison forces.

As such conventional and even Mech forces for the Jaguars could be in a real state of flux. I'd like to say that vehicles and infantry could well be Clan Green for skill level while the Mechs would average Regular. Aerospace forces might be veterans.

here would be my take
Mechs - Average Clan Regulars  (Mix of Vets, Regular, Green[being troops fresh from homeworlds])
Aerospace - Average Clan Regulars (Mix of Vets, Regular, Green[being troops fresh from homeworlds])
Vee - Average Clan Green (Mix of a few Regular and mostly Green)
Inf - Elementals Average Clan Regular (Mix of very few Vets, mostly Regular, some green[being troops fresh from homeworlds or Kotare Knightmare Freeborn])
Inf - Conventional Clan Green, honestly I could see them as IS Green

and there another use for Freeborn raiders, they keep they enemy guessing about what your tactical plan is as have them hit targets to gain intel and well you get sacrifice/bloody those survivors,  those same freeborn without wasting real warriors to get it

Good point, giving the Freeborn warriors a chance to die in battle is very Smoke Jaguar. Would ironic to considering such a Chain Gang like assault would be against the Draconis Combine. Great concept Doc!

I think Watanabe is going to have a hard time winning if physicals are off the table.  She's only a 3 Gunner.  If physicals are permitted, though, no sweat.

We are gonna have to see how it plays out Daryk but the Sohei will be playing by Clan rules until they break them. What I need from you is your variants for this duel for both Katsumi Watanabe [Wolverine] and Hisoka Matsumoto [Victor].

Last night I received the WHM-PP3 Warhammer (aka the Popcorn Popper) from Doc_Argen and it looks great!

I also have the Atlas (believe I designated it the AS7-GLL) here that Daniel McAlister will be using for the battle.

As O5P is aware of this I was planning on having McAlister equipped with an Atlas I worked up. EndoSteel structure, standard 300 Fusion Engine, 3 Large Lasers (one each in the arms and center torso), and two Gauss Rifles (side torsos). It is a pretty solid variant which will hopefully provide him with some chance of taking down his opponent but might still be a tall order.

I know Bradshaw has already done some work on variants for the duelists but paramount to me is input from their individual contributors. Let me know what kind of modifications you want for these rides guys and if your Gunnery/Piloting skill numbers are unlisted please fill them in.

Shiori Noriko, Elite, Cataphract [Ice Hellion]
Catherine Kennedy, Elite, Grasshopper [Dragon Cat]
Aika Gunma, Elite (2/3), Warhammer [O5P Ghost]
Irena Petrova-Kawamoto, Elite , Griffin [Sharpnel]

Thanks Sharpnel! I just informed Bradshaw all mods can use InnerSphere Level 2 (Star League LosTech) and with a rare exception- a single Clan weapon. The AS7-GLL Atlas is a difficult modification using EndoSteel (not in full production, so a custom job for now) but it is possible. The WHM-PP3 is more straight line refit using Double Heat Sinks and available Star League tech.

Also please let us know what the actual skill numbers are.

I did get it Sharpnel, is there anyway you can redesign it without that Clan weapon? Just as an option if I can't get you said piece of equipment.

Hmmm... a modern Victor and Marik Wolverine with a single clan weapon... I'd really rather have DHS on the Wolverine, but I'll see what I can work in... SSW, here I come!

And for Watanabe, I'm going beg for two exceptions...

One, for an (IS) Endo-Steel chassis, and two, for two Clan (regular) SRM-6s.  The heat balance works out perfectly... an Alpha Strike builds 11 heat, and with 2 extra HS, a jump alone cools 11 heat...  It's everything a Marik Wolverine should be!  8)

If the answer is no for Watanabe's exceptions, she'll just go for a clan Streak-6 in place of the regular...  It doesn't screw up her heat balance, and does a LOT of damage if it hits...

EndoSteel is not a problem, I am doing it for the Atlas so the Wolverine is not a problem. The Clan tech is hard and perhaps a singular exception at this point so I am trying to get everyone's InnerSphere only machine first of all.

Cool on the Endo... I was figuring the twin clan SRM-6s would fit in the same space as the single original IS version (and they do, even crit-wise).

Thanks Sharpnel! I just informed Bradshaw all mods can use InnerSphere Level 2 (Star League LosTech) and with a rare exception- a single Clan weapon. The AS7-GLL Atlas is a difficult modification using EndoSteel (not in full production, so a custom job for now) but it is possible. The WHM-PP3 is more straight line refit using Double Heat Sinks and available Star League tech.

Also please let us know what the actual skill numbers are.
WHM-PP3 if we get a Clan Weapon..  while I would love a Clan ERPPC I know everyone wants them...  I would be happy with Clan SPL

Hmmm... It just struck me... did you mean a single clan weapon across the force, or per machine?  ???

Ah, in that case, Watanabe just gets two extra heat sinks (for the Endo... unless IS DHS are on the table...).

Much the same for Matsuomoto… if DHS are on the table, he gets the extra armor, and maybe some other goodies...
