I was thinking that while the getting was good, I might as well make up a couple Kobayashi Maru scenarios. In the past, I've played as Avalon Hussars, Capellan Dragoons, and when I was feeling all fancy pantsy I played as the 4th Davion Guards (Damn you Katists!)
Well, now we are on a losing streak. A darn fine one. So maybe it's time to make up a Draconis March Militia ToE and bleed it out. Instead of good or even great equipment, I'm going to try to use what the tables, the TROs, and my brain power tell me a DMM LCT would have in store. Any help is welcome.
So for the Bremond DMM LCT, we know the basic form will be as follows:
A mech battalion with a LCT command company attached, so 48 mechs total.
Two armored regiments, one probably heavy, one cavalry style.
Two infantry regiments. Probably at least two battalions of battlearmor--but probably mostly Cavaliers and lesser prestige units. Maybe:
1. Organic transports
2. Towed weapons
3 Couple battalions of motorized infantry to round out two total regiments of infantry support.
Lastly, there will probably be a company of artillery.
According to FM: 3085 (60 year old intel, I know) The Bremond DMM is Green, has a D equipment rating, and is only 60% updated.
I plan to play this unit against another created unit: probably a Benjamin Regulars outfit. They will most likely have much better equipment and be either Regular or Veteran mechwarriors.
So with all this in mind:
Rough sketch is I'm looking at a medium weight mech battalion: mostly Sentrys and Watchmen produced in the Draconis March, with a sprinkling of Project Phoenix lights and heavies. No assaults. Thinking the Argus and Ostsol, both produced on Robinson, should be represented. Nothing produced after 3100 or so--befitting of the type of stuff a D rated unit would get in the RATS for FM: 3085
Heavy Armor regiment: any suggestions here? I want to use second line machines but not sure what to take.
Cavalry Regiment: Probably will have a couple lances of Ziblers and Sorteks with the normal hodgepodge of hovers. Also intend on heavy use of Musketeer Rac hovers along with Warrior and Yellow Jacket VTOLS. Not sure what else.
For infantry, I'm figuring BA battalions with 80% Cavaliers and a smattering of Pumas. I can't see too many of the advanced designs making it down to march militia. Thoughts here?
Artillery: Maybe a couple Paladins or Snipers? Not too sure, never played with much Arty.
There would probably be an aero wing assigned to the MM, but nothing fancy.
Any thoughts or contributions are welcome. I'll probably post my LCT mech command company next!
