Some AU work

[Iron Grenadier]

I've been putting together an AU for a late 3rd Succession War/early 4th Succession War, and have been tinkering around with organizing the military of each nation.

For the FedSuns, I'm currently working on the Crucis Lancers. I'm toying with the idea to make them the main planetary assault force, so wanted to organize them accordingly.

What I'm thinking -

Reinforced Battlemech Regiment - 4 Battalions (Heavy and Assault designs) - 144 'Mechs (not including command elements)

Aerospace Regiment - 3 Wings - 60 Aerospace fighters

Vehicle Regiment - Vehicle Recon, Artillery, Air Defense. Working on numbers here, but want to be able to give each Mech Battalion support

Infantry ??? - I'm thinking a brigade sized jump infantry unit. There would be VTOL transport, and supported by VTOL gunships.

When you're doing the infantry, don't forget the sniper rifles for your rifle platoons.  Two per squad will let those auto-rifles reach out and touch! :)

Stop that, I don't want to deal with other Scout Sniper teams

Well I have seen enough on the boards here to believe that Daryk has probably forgot more about Battletech infantry than what I'll ever know. They should hire him to do all the infantry design going forward.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but the Navy has to fire me first... ;)

NOOO
I like to be able to surprise people with Infantry Forces...  if he was in charge that would not happen.

I wouldn't worry too much about that... people would still have to read those parts of the books... ;)
