Title: Which units (on both sides) were present at the fire-bombing of Crimson?
Post by: Alain Dumont on 05 February 2012, 05:57:02

My brain's gone to mush.  I'm pretty sure it was the 41st Shadow Division, but not positive; and I'm drawing an absolute blank on the Canopian units involved.

Ramilie's Raiders and Raventhir's Iron Hand I think were there

Word of Blake - 34th Division and 41st Shadow Division (brought in as reinforcements

Canopus - Raventhir's Iron Hand (was already effectively destroyed by that point), elements of 1st Canopian Cuirassiers

Ramilie's Raiders were destroyed later that year while helping MAF commander Hadji Doru escape from Crimson. (Interesting that the PTBs didn't mention anything about them being Naomi Centrella's father and brothers. At least as far as I know.)

The 41st, being the aptly-named Uriel's Blinding Fire, were primarily responsible for the fire-bombing, though the fighting had been going on for some time before as I recall.
