5th Lyran Regulars twice
« on: 13 June 2012, 14:29:20 »
I found he following two entries in the old House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)

5th Lyran Regulars - Regular- Questionable- Thorin- (Colonel Gustav von Buren) - Wyatt Theater
5th Lyran Regulars - Green - Reliable - Gypsum - Military District 1 (Alarion)

I'm a little confused. Another question  is how large the entire LCAF was (Mech regiments) including the Mercaneries. When I follow the tables of the book the LCAF field 68 regiments.

Arcturan Guards - 08th - 11th - 15th - 17th - 19th - 20th - 23rd - 24th - 25th
Donegal Guards - 02nd - 03rd - 04th - 05th - 06th - 07th - 08th - 10th - 11th - 12th  - 13th - 14th - 17th
Lyran Guards - 03rd - 06t - 10th - 11th - 14th - 15th - 19th - 24th - 26th - 30th - 32nd - 36th
Lyran Regulars   01st - 03rd - 04th - 05th - 05th - 07th -    08th - 09th - 10th - 11th - 15th
Royal Guards   1st - 2nd - 3rd
Skye Rangers   04th - 10th - 17th -   22nd


Mercenaries   
- 12 Star Guards - 1st - 2nd - 3rd Regiment - 7th
- Always Faithful
- Barrets Fusiliers (1 battalion)
- Blackhearts
- Cranston Snord's Irregulars (1 company)
- Dragon's Breath
- Grave Walkers (2 regiments)
- Gregg's Long Striders
- Hansen's Roughriders
- Mobile Fire
- Narhal's Raiders (2 regiments)
- Richard's Panzer Brigade
- Stealthy Tigers

The 5th Lyrans on Gypsum are actually the 5th Lyran Guards, as per the 4th Succession War Atlas vol I, page 44 (same planet and rating).

The unit rosters from the House books should be more or less complete. If we revisit that era we'll research if there are omissions, units mentioned in TROs and other places that does not fit the rosters for that year. But until then, what is in the House books is considered to be complete.

Mercenaries is always a touchy subject, since various sources vary greatly in how many mercenaries there are in the Inner Sphere. Our current view is that we list notable units, and most units above a certain size (ie battalion and larger). But even that has pitfalls enough to say that a full list of mercenaries in any age/era has never been compiled (and never will).

With regards,
Øystein
