Ghost Wolf Clusters (WIP)
« on: 13 January 2020, 19:42:21 »
So I’ve edited this post to reflect new organization and equipment. These now two Clusters are my Clan Mini’s. Each Cluster currently fields a Nova Binary, a Trinary, and a mixed Trinary (of mechs, vehicles, and Elementals). When I do acquire more mechs I would upgrade to two full Trinaries, and a Supernova Trinary, with a command Star. A separate aerospace Binary is a pipe dream (but would of course be welcome).

Presenting the First and Second Ghost Wolves

Long story but basically that’s the name I go under for a call sign sometimes... at least for all video games and whatnot lol. I might come up with a better name: I was thinking about dropping them into a Rasalhague Galaxy so there’s a lot to chose from.

Backgrounds a-coming eventually: the reason it’s a WIP is cause it’s gonna be via my phone at work breaks and lunches.

When in the battletech universe does your unit exist or is it just to create a name for your forces?

It was originally meant to be pre-Jihad or just during but now I’m not so sure. They are all the actual mini’s I have but I’m not quite happy with their organization yet. Mainly that has to do with the fact that people keep selling Elementals cheaply at like two Stars for five bucks or something.

Four Full Trinaries of mechs (plus more when the Kickstarter arrives!), and three Trinaries of Elementals (more when the Kickstarter arrives!) means I can basically have two light clusters or one SuperNova Cluster.... so my problem seems to get larger. Plus I kinda want at least one Star of fighters eventually.

With so many troops I would create two clusters (4 trinaries are still a cluster) from two eras you enjoy.  Plus you can still add fighters at your leisure.

Yeah it’s just part of me hurts at having a Cluster of Two Mech Trinaries and Two Elemental Trinaries, when I definitely want a couple SuperNova’s in the Cluster as well.

It’s what I’m gonna have to do, but it still pains me.

Any suggestions on force composition though on how to group the mechs? My current stars are quite a messed up mix.

Don't look at me, I tend to stay in 3039 with only slightly modified battlemechs.  I only joined Kickstarter for the unseen (and Comstar/SLDF units).

I would say that you probably separate based on best defensive units vs offensive units.

Fair enough: I’ll take any and all opinions from anyone and formulate my own answers from them.

It’s easy to do 3039 with all the previous box sets, and obviously the new Kickstarter non-clan forces. I’ve gotten personally worn out with them so I went hard on acquiring more modern stuff.

Understood, personally I always find it in the Dark Age books overwhelming trying to figure out what in fiction what the battlemech is and how it is used.  Not to mention all the number of mechs with two names is annoying.
