Kell Hounds 3152 size

[Caesar Steiner for Archon]

"The Hounds are currently three combined-arms battalions strong, of somewhat varying quality."  Tamar Rising, p. 79

However, the force composition on p. 109 describes an RCT- full regiments of mechs, six regiments of conventional troops, aero wing, the whole shebang.

Do these represent the force at different times, maybe? Just trying to figure out which one represents them where we are now.

[Mendrugo]

The three-battalion strength is what they had at the time they struck Arc-Royal.  They brought their best battalion for that offensive, and left the other two training and organizing.  Those two then went off and liberated the rest of the worlds that joined the ARLC. 

The much larger force represents what they were able to field after fully reclaiming Arc-Royal, folding in the surviving resistance fighters and post ARLC-formation arrivals.

I thought that might be the case, but wanted to make sure. Thanks!
