Longbows- we got those in many different flavours. One of them with plenty of RLs- the RL Archer is a blast, too.

ELRM we ony got on our Landtrains though. Pity, I like them.

Oh we're going RLs. OK then. Sorry I missed that part.

Then
Longbow H
Cyclops H
Goliath H
Charger 2A2
Marauder II H

All of those carry at least 4 RL 10s or more. The A2 I'd the weak link in the Century, but it's also cheap as dirt to replace in both BV and money.

My thoughts so far are the Longbow, Catapult, Archer, and two faster general purpose mechs as escorts, flankers, scouts,etc

One of the RL armed Firestarters perhaps?

And a Chimera? It has MRMs which are reloadable RLs in a way....

The WTH-1H and -2H are neat, too. But too slow I guess.

General purpose machines for the lighter ones, not rocket boats. Need to be able to cover the big ones after all they racks are dry. :)

Gladiator 5s or 7s would work well as flank support

Yup. Apparently they've been streaming a Destiny campaign, and apparently that was popular enough that CGL made a forcepack for at least part of the player unit?

They're not.

It's been explained, they're the player character merc unit for Penny Arcade's streaming campaign they've been playing for a while.

Ah, Okey I thought the Unit was part of some group that appeared on the IlKlan Eyes Only Index. Sorry

Happy Sol Invictus! To you and yours!

May we see the Hegemony break out of its slump and get a win.

As per IlKhan's Eyes Only, it appears that the kind of social transformation seen in the "post-Marian" Lothian League might be in the cards. Albeit, from the opposite direction to the one implemented by the Lothians themselves.

Plus, to refer back to Empire Alone, there's still the looming prospect of a Canopian strike on Alphard to consider; might one of these series of events impact the other, in terms of which future direction the Hegemony finds itself travelling

As long as they are not changes that transform the faction into Vanilla, make it a lapdog of Canopus or the NeoFWL it would be something to study, either of the other two options would make a good number of Marians not like them at all and probably dedicate themselves to something else

The technological update of the Hegemony seemed to be going in the direction of a modernization, which from what you have stated and other things that I have read comes back with the idea, for my lack of imagination, of overthrowing the Marian way of life completely, we will see.

Marians and Canopians need each other

This adversary they have now is making them both exponentially more interesting than before (especially Canopians, they used to be Liao appendage and a meme, now they finally resemble a proper faction)
