Nice: yeah considering taking out a $5,000 dollar loan to donate and just ya know flee the country afterwords... Shipping to some random PO Box in some random country. Lol.

I will say that prior to that my Ghost Bear Cluster has grown: up to one Mixed weight Supernova Mech Trinary, one mostly Assault Trinary, and one mixed vehicle/mech Star now. With the Kickstarter and one more purchase I would of had a complete (Vehicle Nova/Mech Binary) Trinary and my Assault Trinary would be complete as well.

Woulda been nice.

And the last game I did play between my Nu-Grizzly and a Nightsky versus two Nova Cats: a Nova Cat and Shadow Cat, resulted in an overwhelming victory. Totally gonna outfit the last Trinary in my eventual Cluster with some Second Line Rasalhague forces including a Berserker commander ;)

Kek this should be fun. If you have been a ghostbear/rasalhague dominion fan (I'll know who you are if you try to cheat..) I'm accepting megamek top for challenge coins over the next week. Limit is first 5.

So in a 3 vs 4 trial the ghost bears carried the day!! Karhu G got mvp with 2 kills, hunchback iic and a highlander iic.

the only named Cluster that we don't have a specific write up for (I believe) is Rho's 48th Battle Cluster (which was disbanded after the Niles fight in 3048 and reformed into the 300th Battle Cluster)

and maybe new stuff during the Dark Age, I'm not too up to date on the more recent works

so no, nothing from Alpha, Beta or Delta AFAIK

So trothkin in one week when the (second to last) shipment arrives I will have a full Cluster of Mechs and Elementals. It will be a bit over strength and missing about a Star of mechs and not assembled: but it will be complete.

I will have an Assault Trinary of mixed front and second line mechs, an Assault/Heavy Trinary, a Heavy/Medium Supernova (15 mechs and 50 Elementals), a Light Supernova (15 Mechs and 50 Elementals), and finally a Fully mixed Binary Nova of 5 Mechs, 10 Vehicles, and 50 Undine and Rogue Bear Suits (because when theirs a cheap deal why not?).

Gonna have to paint and assemble quite a lot but I’ve got a general scheme ready to go. Provisionally names the First Ghost Wolves Cluster. Have to post pictures eventually. So happy (albeit a bit poorer) :)

Now that I found out they exist: probably. Most likely never going to use them unless I really want to mess with my opponent by springing a full Star in a Lake somewhere, or I’m doing a Cluster vs. Cluster (or Regiment) Battle.

Got most Bear Mechs save the Kuma and Ursus (don’t want), the Bruin, Karhu, and Viking IIC (coming soon). Could probably use some Wraith, Golem, Gnome, and Constable Battle Armor, and maybe a Star of Aerospace Fighters (including Kirghiz for Elemental bombing runs). But again I’m happy for now.

Yes you do want Ursus. Incredibly cheap consistent performers.

You have no idea mate. That thing came across the table from MWDA and SillyBrit, Jymset, and I had to make something of it. While still retaining that two gunned Ghost Bear aesthetic that has come down through the Golem. At least we had managed to make stealth a Ghost Bear thing earlier.

Garbage is also a more creative, long-term killer than a Wraith. They'll just fire machineguns at a target, whereas garbage will slowly destroy their environment over generations. Lie in wait and strike at the opportune moment, like a Ghost Bear.

The Ursus is definitely under-rated, and I feel that it and the Arcas get overlooked for simply not being OmniMechs. It's cheap, it's functional and it gets the job done, even if it's not the best at the universe at it.

Or maybe I just like it for having a goony skull chest. That could be a part of it.

Got an Arcas: need a second one.

Ostrogoths are also a definite, along with some Visigoths, Kirghiz’s, and not sure what else offhand: to be fair they are .... FAR in the future planning.

Wraith... meh? Maybe idk.

 She asked for some minis so I'm looking for recommendations. I'm thinking a bear cub or a firemoth.

You have to know both to manage post 3060 so the older hands are good sources for the FRR and CGB.

If I had to be honest pre 3055 FRR knowledge is lacking around here. But by the same token you would be lucky to find pre 3055 FRR knowledge in the IS boards too. As a faction their pre Clan history sort of got squeezed out by events. War of 3039 and Fed Com stuff generally drew the attention away.

Actually I am hard pressed to think of any pure FRR posters. They are really genuinely rare. Like Niops probably has more support.

The FRR are actually one of my favourite factions, although by no means the only one I play.

I'm just in the process of wrapping up a project - building the entire 3rd Hussars regiment circa 3067. I've just learned via Sarna that in their final form, each of their six fire lances was reinforced with two extra Vikings and am currently debating if I want to own another twelve Viking miniatures - seeing as I already have nine...

The answer is yes because you can convert them to Viking IIC’s eventually

Bear Cub is an excellent training mech for the Ghost Bears. With the exception of DHS it has everything a sibko needs to learn to pilot.

A Fire Moth is a bit more advanced in general, I would advise a Viper over the Moth for training.

Bigger Mechs: Timber Wolf, Kingfisher, Executioner maybe?
