Project LEGION: Dark Storm Legion

[Kasaga]

This is the breakdown of the Dark Storm Legion during the Succession Wars.  The unit was a Regimental Combat team deployed by  the Terran Hegemony-in-Exile to support the Federated Suns during the raging wars and to maintain combat experience for the Hegemony forces in Exile.  Organized around 4 regiments the command was utilizing Royal Grade equipment at the beginning of the 1st and 2nd Succession Wars and then by the end of the 2ND with as many losses as they had sustained were unable to justify being able to equip their commands with the high tech weaponry. 

Below is the breakdown of each regiment within the command on how they are organized.

hopefully in time these will get more fleshed out

[mikecj]

True, I'd like more details.

[Kasaga]

True, I'd like more details.

What kind of details are you looking for?  Full equipment lists or a further breakdown of supporting units.  I was going to make FM pages for them here in the next day or two.  But I can try and fill out the full on equipment lists as well.  Just going to be a lot of work lol.  Which is fine.  It honestly won't take me too long.  I did that with the new OmniMech Brigades already I can easily do that for these older formations.

[Kasaga]

Updated with the 1ST and 2ND Legions filled out.

[mikecj]

FM pages suit me, thanks

[Kasaga]

FM pages suit me, thanks

Too easy.  but I've only got 2 more regiments to build.  then I will work on the Hoplites.

[mikecj]

Thanks!

[DOC_Agren]

Updated with the 1ST and 2ND Legions filled out.

Thank you, gives me a better idea of the "force projection" they have

But I too would have been happy with FM takes knowing the officers and "tactics"

[Kasaga]

3RD Legion (10th Cavalry updated)  4th Legion will be updated soon.

[Kasaga]

All four Legions updated

Sorry for Necro...

Just wondering what their Infantry kit was / is? Didn't see any... or any Salvage Logistics either.

Thanks,
TT

Oh you are good bud. 

Infantry Kit would be first fifty years or so of Succession Wars would be SLDF Infantry Kit then when deployed forward to assist AFFS would be either IS General or AFFS Standard kit.  There are no salvage units as those are supplied by the AFFS and they are not really recovering any tech for themselves.  Logistics units I did not factor in and I will have to do that.  For now assume 1 company per battalion and 1 battalion per regiment with a brigade support group (regiment) supporting the force when fully deployed.  It will evolve into the Forward Support Companies and Battalions common in the American Brigade Combat Teams.  I'll work on this over the next few days and update it.  I will also dig up the last story I was working on before work got in the way and try and finish it.

Thanks for the interest TT

[truetanker]

So as I see this :

A lance of Paramour, maybe a lance of Kiso and possible another lance of J-27?

Don't forget the Flatbed Truck, BMR and HBMR... KC-100, OH! Almost forgot : SC-V Scavenger and Powerman Haulerman!

I am not sure if I will fill out logistics units in that much detail.  I might look into filling out the logistics side.  I need to delve a little more into BTech logistics assets.

But I see a lot of Flatbed Trucks and other logistics assets from various sources.
