Once again, I will abstain.  I mean, I really do not know anyone on this thread, that I know of.  I have played battletech with many people over the years; and of the people who are members on this forum, the only ones I know I have met; one of which I never got to play a game with; are Charlie Tango, Phacade, and Wombat.

Gerald Garabaldi looked at the other men around him at the table, it felt like hours were passing by with every tick of the clock. He looked at each and every pair of eyes seeing who dared to beat him in this straight up fight. "So did ya here the results form the lance commander elections?

"We all did gerald now are you going to call or raise? We ain't got all night
Tech Sargeant Wilson replied as he fiddled with his own cards. Gerald took notice of that tale several games earlier. "I'm going to raise I supose, let's make this game a little fun he threw in a modest amount into the pot no sense in scaring the less adventurous into folding since he had a three jacks and a pair of duces.

"So as Lance Sargeant anything going to be differant now, going to get all high and mighty and avoid us techs like the other mech jocks do" asked Keiko, another tech sargeant, who was his tech by the way.

"Come on babe, you know me if I were to do that severance pay would be distruaght in the knowledge I wasn't around to keep you crazy techs form doing god knows what to her!

There was a good laugh by everyone even keiko laughed, she knew he would still be hanging around the hanger. Either working on his Catapult, or talking with the techs when he wasnt. Gerald even had a cot in the alcove were his mech stood, as if when he was asleep she whatched over him, than trading in the morning as he got to doing something to fix up severance pay.

Keiko stared Gerald in the eyes, all he could think was those jade colors eyes. It reminded him of the woman who died during the Dragoons' final assualt. Right before his eyes as she went form existing to nothing as what was left of her was lifeless. That unending stare, the smell of death not just a hint in the air but as if all the pain and suffering of the Dragoons had manifested itself and the Ducal guard and the civilians were paying for the atrocities of Anton themselves.

All that changes, is if some noble some where gets the idea that us mercs are his play toys I'll take great pleasure in reminding him why he hired us! After that there was a quick moment were everyone was silent all but person avoided looking at Gerald.

It was keiko she stared at him, she was with him that day she saw the look on his face after want had happened she well never forget those jade colored eyes of Geralds' sister.

Colonel
ARC-4M Archer--Drakensis (Lieutenant Gwen "Duchess" Wayne).

Majors
WHM-6Rk Warhammer--Takiro (Lieutenant Tanaka "Shadow" Nakamora).
SHD-X2 Shadow Hawk LAM--Giovanni Blasini (Lieutenant Giovanni Blasini).

Captains
WLF-1 Wolfhound--Irose (Lieutenant Ross Jackson).
TDR-5SE Thunderbolt--MechRat (Lieutenant Catherine "Alley Cat" Decker).
HTM-27U Hatamoto-Hi--Shin Yodama (Lieutenant Shin Yodama).
ASN-21 Assassin--Ice Hellion (Lieutenant Xiong "Ice" Duillio).
PXH-1c Phoenix Hawk--Kwic (Lieutenant Kyle "Kwic" Warwick).
WVR-6M Wolverine--VhenRa (Lieutenant Marius Murphy).


I feel slightly dirty for voting for myself but there's a grand tradition of mercenary leaders in Archers. Giovanni Blasini got the nod because a jump Battalion having the command lance be LAMs warms the cockles of my heart. First Battalion was a harder choice but in the end the Warhammer's iconic status swung my decision in favour of 'Shadow'.

I will abstain from voting, except to ask the Dave Hunter NOT be voted for. Being a lance commander is about as much distinction - and responsibility - as he´s comfortable with. Plus, the higher the rank, the more likely they´ll be headhunted.

Li Kui looked down at the datapad before him and shook his head again. He scrolled down the list again until he came to 2nd Battalion, Team Vixen. Squinting his eyes again, he hoped against hope that the results would be different. But ther is was, listed as before. Lieutenant Li "Maniac" Kui. Lead of a lance. Seriously?

A pirate, now an officer in a legit merc set up. His former associates in the Shen-Se Tian would believe it as far as they could throw him. Still, the results were in. Maybe... maybe as lance lead, he'd be able to wade into more battles, swing his Hatchetman's deadly weapon in greater frequency than he'd otherwise be allowed to.

Li grinned sheepishly. There is still much to be done before the regiment goes into action before he could dream about all that action. And of course, he doubted the unit he had signed up with now would be going up against the kind of sheep that the Shen-Se Tian usually picked on.

Oh well, until than... selection of company and battalion commanders...

I will abstain; at this time it is master arminas’ show. I’m here to be a good little mercenary who follows orders and only worries about my highly prized battlemech.
It doesn't take long for men to make a decision. It's making a decision look smart that takes the time.

Colonel. = Drakensis  (Lieutenant Gwen "Duchess" Wayne)
I've RPed with him before. Drakensis knows his stuff and makes good decisions.

Majors = Shin Yodama (Lieutenant Shin Yodama), VhenRa (Lieutenant Marius Murphy)

Captains = MechRat (Lieutenant Catherine "Alley Cat" Decker),
Giovanni Blasini (Lieutenant Giovanni Blasini),
Takiro (Lieutenant Tanaka "Shadow" Nakamora),
Kwic (Lieutenant Stephen "Stumpy" McQueen),
Kalthud (Lieutenant Christopher "Kal" Kalthud),
and just because I like messing with the character:
Grognard (Lieutenant Francis "Frank" Moses).

GROGNARD:  An old, grumpy soldier, a long term campaigner (Fr); Someone who enjoys playing tactics and strategy based board wargames;  a game fan who will buy every game released in a certain genre of computer game (RTS, or computer role-playing game, etc.)

Sitting back and watching over the "The Black Prince of the Backstab" as made someone both an LT and NCO, well played and damm lucky that I didn't need to pull my Mare's Leg if someone want to get froggy.

Remember rule 27. Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.   8)

Damm you "The Black Prince of the Backstab", while i was watching your 6, someone thought putting me in as officer, was a great idea.  Do I have you to blame for this?

And still, fellow Lieutenant Tanaka "Shadow" Nakamora, I see you have lance command of the Hammer Lance, in all honestly I am a specialist in the use and abuse of Warhammers, I would love to change slots with you.  Me with 3 more Hammers all learning my tricks the heat cloud alone could block out whole zones on IR.   O:-)

If you are debating it, you are too slow.


Damm you "The Black Prince of the Backstab", while i was watching your 6, someone thought putting me in as officer, was a great idea.  Do I have you to blame for this?


Of course! >:D

Seriously, I like having you as an Officer.  It serves several purposes.

     1: You don't try to micro-manage.  Just give me an objective and let me get it done however I need to.

     2: I hate paperwork.  Anyone other than me saddled with it is a bonus.

     3: You make an excellent distraction/bullet magnet.  While you stomp around in that bloody great heat-generator you call a mech, attracting attention (And enemy fire), I can get on with doing my job uninterrupted.

     4: After the battle, your mech is warm enough that I can make popcorn just by laying it on any exposed surface.

Other than that, I'll go with MA's choices re: Officer Placement

Yuri comes onto screen looking at master arminas. "Ah, Mr Arminas sir, can I ask you something?" Rocking back and forth on her heels and looking very worried like she is going to get eaten or something......"Everyone said that we are going to fighting the clans and that most us are going to die by your hands when it comes to writting......IAM TO YOUNG TO DIE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A CLAN SEX SLAVE OR WHAT EVER THE EVIL CLANS TO TO PRISONERS!!!!!!!!!"  looking ready to bolt. "Sir, if you kill me who is going to take care of kitty?" Now trying to give him that dreaded puppy dog eye look.


Off screen, she turns to the stig and asks "do you think he bought that?"
The stig just holds up a anime style sign that says "no idea."

That was what I thought too.
Heck, I'm sure it was a common enough scene where upon hearing his people were being mowed down like wheat, one of the assaults stepped forward thinking to tank, and got shot right up to pieces by some Clan tech BFG...

Mechwarrior Marc "Growler" Vandelas studied the developing regimental organizational chart and grunted. Well, the grunt sounded more like growl, which had earned him his callsign all those years ago, but we digress.

Current company and battalion organizations looked good. It looked like that Italian guy with the Shadowhawk LAM would be his lance commander, and they'd be grouped in with the other two LAM's. He frowned though as he noted their heading under the second battalion.

Frankly he didn't want to butt his nose into how the Taurian was putting the unit together seeing as he was doing most of the legwork riding herd on the various egos involved. But still, he noted that the recon lance was under regimental command and figured the LAM lance should be too. LAM's were versatile. With the mobility to act as pathfinders, cavalry, recon, headhunters, you name it. And unless they recruited an Aerospace unit, like that Outworlder with the assault dropper that was nosing around a couple days ago, the LAM's were also it.

Grunting once again he turned and headed off. He'd sound out his lancemates, but that could wait. The cafeteria was beginning to smell of Kebab. Yummy.

And still, fellow Lieutenant Tanaka "Shadow" Nakamora, I see you have lance command of the Hammer Lance, in all honestly I am a specialist in the use and abuse of Warhammers, I would love to change slots with you.  Me with 3 more Hammers all learning my tricks the heat cloud alone could block out whole zones on IR.   O:-)

Hai, this would be acceptable.

And, gentlemen, I'm not ignoring our transport and support elements.

REGIMENTAL TRANSPORT AND SUPPORT ASSETS

Monolith-class JumpShip Wee Willie (Commander Horatio Baker).

Overlord-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).  [Note:  Modified to remove four ASF in order to accomodate a Battalion Command Lance; total complement 40 'Mechs and 2 ASF).
Union-class DropShip Twin Suns (Commander Archibald Christi).
Union-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).
Union-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).
Union-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).
Intruder-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).
Confederate-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).  [Note:  This variant is the six-'Mech version, with no onboard ASF).
Leopard CV-class DropShip xx (Commander xx).
Mule-class DropShip Genesis (Commander D.M. Kirk).

Regimental Security Group (Intruder-class DropShip, above):

Armored Security Company: 4, Cheavalier Light Tanks, 4 Goblin Medium Tanks, 4 Bulldog Medium Tanks.
Rifle Security Company:  3 jump platoons, 1 foot platoon (carried aboard the Goblins above).

Regimental Air Group:

18 ASF, to be determined.


I'll probably open a new thread for the 18 ASF--once we hit eighteen, that is it.  DO NOT post ASF submissions in this thread.  Please. 

Our supporting elements aren't quite as heavy as some might have wanted.  But they are sufficient for a mercenary unit (rather than a House Davion RCT!).

I wish I could get a good grip on reality, then I would choke it.
Growing old is inevitable,
Growing up is optional.
Watching TrueToaster create evil genius, priceless...everything else is just sub-par.

Some possible ship names:
 
Curious Bear
Rising Star
Shangri-La (suggested for the Carrier(WWII origins non-existant island that the doolittle raid was said to be launched from before the truth came out))
Trinity
Astrogator
Freedom
Warhorse
Twilight
 
I have a couple of random ship name generators I use:
 
http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=shipnamer
http://fantasynamegenerators.com/spaceship-names.php
 
That first one tends to have more than one word in the name.  I let it generate 20 names then mix and match to get better results, e.g. "Curious Bear"
give a man a fire, keep him warm for a night. 
Set him on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life!

The secret to winning the land/air battle is that you must always remain rigidly flexible.

I like tabletop more anyway, computer games are for nerds!  -  Knallogfall

Looking at the charts and names while hearing the screams about Clan sex slave or something weird like this, Xiong Duillio takes a few notes before turning to the other officers

Why not decide who should command what with a few fights?
In turn they tested each Clan namesake
In trial against the ice hellion's mettle.
Each chased the ice hellion, hunting it down.
All faild to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said. "And that is how we shall be."
