Hello,
The players in my group find themselves in the need to rebuild their light armor forces. Each of the four players has put forth an idea, but so far haven’t come to an agreement.
The idea’s to rebuild the light armor battalion so far – all agree to maintain the 3 lance/4 company structure.
1. Stay with hovertanks for recon and fast strike/response. Purchase Pegasus and Fulcrums
2. Purchase a lance of Galleon 102’s for each company, plus a lance of Myrmidon’s, and then keep the remaining hovertanks as is.
3. Go with Myrmidons for everything.
4. A lance each of Maxim’s to better support the infantry, a lance of Galleon’s for recon, and a lance of Fulcrums for the fast strike/response role.
What would be your thoughts on one of these idea's or something else entirely?
For reference –
This is an AU setting, but one easily recognizable. Biggest change I can think of is that Wolfs Dragoons created the AMC in 3062. Current year is 3067 and the FedCom Civil War is over.
The players are a merc unit, and are members of the AMC. AMC and WoB have been in a proxy war for 5 years.
They have one battlemech battalion (in a 4 lance companies/4 company structure, all heavies and assaults), one heavy vehicle battalion (3 lance companies/4 company), one infantry battalion (4 platoons/4 company), and an aerospace wing (24 fighters). Supporting units include artillery, air defense and a VTOL unit. They have full dropship support.
The light armor battalion that was beat up operated in a 3 lance/4 company structure. The entire unit was composed of hovertanks, of which 16 survived and are being placed back into service (Drillsons mainly).
