Mars Rising - Marian Hegemony V: Barbari ite Domum!

[Weirdo]

Oh geez, I would LOVE adding some Gallants to my Mari-wait, you're talking about a mech, aren't you...dang, got me all excited.

[Baldur Mekorig]

The CC is producing more FRB-3Es based on pages 28 and 29 of Field Manual 3145 and  pages 101 of Jihad Final Reckoning.  That's why the FRB-3E isn't unique in the Early Republic and beyond.  Did we get updates to all of the TRO 3039 mechs in the Rec Guides other then things like the Kintaro? I could see a Champion or maybe a new design based on the Thunderbolt since we seem to have a ton of those...

The DA -3Es are refits of the primitives produced during the Jihad according to a source that i will not name to avoid some issues. I also tought they were new mechs.

Oh geez, I would LOVE adding some Gallants to my Mari-wait, you're talking about a mech, aren't you...dang, got me all excited.

The Gallant would be right up the Marian Legions' alley. It's cheap, tough, and easily produced by anyone with a tech level slightly above introtech, or use the original version for yon introtech powers. Call it the Scutum or something like that. The Gallant is a mobile brick
with nothing but projectile weapons. That thing has 180% more armor then a Demolisher and its ten tons lighter!

[Saint]

There is one Greko/Roman named mech that has not been in production since the dawn of mechs. The Bellerophon, it's on the lower end of heavies. It could be a good candidate for an upgraded unique Marain mech.

[ArkRoyalRavager]

We should really send a delegation to Alaric, proposing a treaty of friendship and mutual cooperation against the FWL. One of the minor terms should include us kindly offering to buy the Doloire and its associated production lines and ship everything to a secure Marian planet.

I and II Legios with Doloire centuries. We finally have a hard counter to the Canopians' Blood Asps.

[Weirdo]

I wonder how many pieces those delegates would be returned in?

[Adacas]

I wonder how many pieces those delegates would be returned in?

I don't think Alaric destroyed Andie for going on a diplomatic mission, if it was possible to trade with the Wolf Empire for the Galleon C there must be some conversation at least with the people of Othar.
I estimate that if it were a delegation they would tell you to leave your letter there, the IlClan will respond in due course (which could be in a month, a year, ten or never).

[Adacas]

.   Mention to the Hegemony the Harraser to the Canopians so as not to feel less and intimidated gave them the Spartan Clan that Capela manufactures

[Saint]

I was a little disappointed that we didn't get the Proliferation Cycle mechs in there as well. The Harasser is nice however.

[Martius]

What do you guys think- will we get one of the new Gladiators from Shrapnel?

[Adacas]

What do you guys think- will we get one of the new Gladiators from Shrapnel?

Maybe 7R, If we are very lucky the 7SF too although I doubt it

[Martius]

The new TAG-Harasser is nice! Perfect companion for the Testudos!
I hope we get some nice Scorpions and Partisans as well...

[Adacas]

The new TAG-Harasser is nice! Perfect companion for the Testudos!

Totally if we add to this the J.E Hoover TAG and the Marauder and other BA with Light TAG we are well covered with observers to mark for Artillery

[Starfury]

As well as using semi-guided missiles.  We are acquiring things from the Leaguers after all

[Sartris]

LG LRMs are universally available. They were FWL exclusive for a pretty short period.

[Adacas]

Happy Saturnalia Citizens of the Marian Hegemony, and may the next Sol Invictus bring us more mechs/tanks/ASF and DS and Victory against our enemies

[Martius]

Happy Saturnalia to you all -and may the next year be a good one!

[ArkRoyalRavager]

Happy Saturnalia fellow Marians! Victory against our enemies!

[Adacas]

Greeting in time to all the Civites Marians and friends from beyond our borders - Happy Sol Invictus to all, may your bacchanals and orgies be to your liking and remember to properly offer Bacchus accordingly.

[ArkRoyalRavager]

Greetings. Happy Sol Invictus! Ave Caesar!

[Martius]

And to you all as well!

BTW- the GLD-7R got added to our list. Nice brick, will give it a try.

[Adacas]

I have seen it, thank you for marking its incorporation, I was hoping to also add the 7SF but for that we will have to wait a little longer.

And thanks for the response to the greeting

Happy Sol Invictus!!

[Adacas]

Greetings. Happy Sol Invictus! Ave Caesar!

Thanks my friend!!

[Fire Scorpion IIC]

Ave Caesar, my Periphery throtkin and happy Sol Invictus!

May your victories against barbarians be numerous, your orgies lengthy and your slave ships filled to the brim

[Adacas]

Thanks Fire Scorpion IIC AND Happy Sol Invictus again !

Here’s a topical question: do you think the Festival of the Unconquered Sun is celebrated on December 21/22 (or whenever the Terran Winter Solstice has moved to by ‘now’ in BT), or is it celebrated on the local Winter Solstice of each world?  The latter makes more sense to me, not only because it makes more sense to not end up celebrating a winter festival during what might be local summer, but also because it allows a clear break with Christmas and keeps the two faiths from arguin about whose holiday it is.

In the Hegemony I calculate that it is celebrated when it is Sol Invictus in Nova Roma, the Capital of Alphard officially, then I calculate that each world will have its own Sol Invictus xz

[Adacas]

Add Scorpion/Harraser and Partisan variants

Harraser Heavy Ferro
Harraser (Marian Versión)
Harraser (Speed)
Scorpion (Ultra)
Scorpion (MRM)
Scorpion (RAC)
Scorpion (Rifle)
Partisan Air Defense (Cell)
Partisan Air Defense (LRM)
Partisan Refit

[ArkRoyalRavager]

Thanks Adacas.

MRM Scorpion is useful when getting good rolls

[Weirdo]

I've used it to good effect as a cheap escort for artillery units.

In this context, I could see them being effective for urban militias, corpsec units, or the Morituri.
