An Awesome Free World's League is the next, better thing. We're voting for strategic awesome, and not some little tactical blip on the radar with a couple stars of Hell's horses landing on Luthien and getting their asses kicked. I also want to know what the gently caress it going on with real Melissa.

I can understand how the allure of leading a Clan invasion of Luthien must be, but hear me out. While there's quite a bit of fervor being worked up over Luthien since it's the scenario that PTN gave a lead-in to from the political update, that always happens when one particular scenario choice has more space in the political text. You can tell a lot of newer readers pounced onto that immediately while the BT veterans and the people who've been paying a lot of attention to the running plot in the background saw what PTN was pulling and realized, "Hey, waitaminute, the 1st Regulan Hussars? Fighting a desperate defense against the new and teched-up Capellan invasion? Something's going on here." For my part, I find the mystery intriguing and want to see it explored. We've been trudging around Lyran and Combine space so long that people are starting to forget that PTN has more up his sleeve than just Atlases and Space Samurai. Let's see the rest of the Inner Sphere get some love for a change. Let's remember the good times back when the thread was still getting started and let's get back to our roots. Let's blow up some Space Chinese, it'll be a hoot! (I'm also part-Chinese American, so I ought to know) Also I'd rather not see the Clans win quite so easily as a desperado headcapping of the Combine capital. Make them work for their conquest. Show them what it means to fight a real war, not just a Trial of Possession. Give the most honorable 2nd Sword of Light a chance to make them taste steel and fire, I have every confidence that they will do so should Clan Hell's Horses enter the fray without Goonstar support. Grier Siedman will surely have greater plans up his sleeve should this killstrike fail, be patient. pun pundit posted:This is an ironic post because I am going to vote C- 1st Regulan Hussars in order to encourage more effortposts like T.G.

However, if the 1st Regulan Hussars are the only effective FWL combat unit still in that area of space, the FWL is screwed anyway and goonlance's efforts will mean little win or lose.

Actually: quote:With the Free Worlds League’s morale crumbling in the face of a war that has seen no victory in months, the elite Rolling Thunder Company of the 1st Regulan Hussars are all that stand between the Capellans and total victory. it seems likely that this scenario could change things significantly. There may be no chance for Free Worlds League hijinks later at all.

You really think PTN would offer us that choice if winning it would make no difference? I mean, I doubt the Solaris option will have many repercussions but who knows. The only mission so far that doesn't seem to have had much effect was the Far Country one, which was created with input from a contest winner so may be sort of an intermission anyway.

I'd also like to note that Rolling Thunder isn't just any company. The 1st Regulan is already crazy and badass, and Rolling Thunder is their Dirty Dozen, twelve of the meanest, craziest dudes in the regiment, sent in when nobody else can win and when all other choices are exhausted. This is that time. Rolling Thunder has been committed, which means the only way the Capellans are making a single step forward anymore is through them. A single battle can turn the tide of an entire war and now is the time to do it.

After having their culture described in detail, I've really come to dislike the clans. That in mind, I'm going with the Hussars. As an aside, I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of seeing the entire goddamn inner sphere balkanize.

Tempest_56 posted:We can't just wander away from one of the biggest in-universe turning points and battles. I agree, but from the other angle. We already know the face of the Clan Invasion, we've seen Battles for Luthien before. Should CHH win, this just means an accelerated Clan invasion timetable. Should the Combine win, this means the CHH invasion corridor will only expand at a slightly slowed rate. While victory in Luthien would certainly cripple the Combine, unless something dramatic swung in their favor the Kuritas were in all likelihood going to fall anyway. A vote for "A" is just speeding up the inevitable. On the other hand most of the more far-reaching changes to the Inner Sphere PTN has in store are loaded into the FWL. They're no longer the uninteresting filler faction they were in canon. By all rights, PTN has made the Free Worlds League better. And the fate of their freedom is now at stake. A victory here would rally the morale of the battered and bruised FWLM, buying them time to bring up their reinforcements and mobilize a counterattack! With the Free Worlds League secured, we can finally shed some light on this new Duncan-led League, their enigmatic NRWR allies, and finally learn the fate of the Red Corsair Memory Core excursion. For the sake of the AU Inner Sphere, Capellan aggression must go no further! Bring the fire and the lightning, Rolling Thunder!

Captain Foo posted:I'm more interested in seeing what the deal is with the NRWR than a Clan invasion of Luthien. Yeah I mean even though it's a different clan and a different point in time we've already seen Luthien invaded. Meanwhile on the other side of the galaxy we have the Helm Memory Core intrigue + Red Corsair, and that whole New Rim Worlds Republic thing going on. As T.G. put it, Poptarts has really elevated the FWL and personally I want to see where he goes with that, even if just for one mission.
