Invasion of Luthien. I remember playing that mission in MW2: Mercs. Back then I was like 10 and terrible at the game so I had to cheat for invincibility and poo poo, but that battle was great. I really need to play MW2: Mercs again.

Ferrosol posted:C) 1st Regulan Hussars The 1st Regulan Hussars are the best unit in the Inner Sphere now that the 2nd Donegal Guard is temporarily down for the count. They used to be #2, but now with no 2nd Donegal, they're #1, and I am completely aware of the irony. There is no other choice: as they say in the Steel Hussars: "War to the Knife, Knife to the Hilt." They are some of the hardest motherfuckers who have ever lived. And you know what else? If the Inner Sphere had just listened to the 1st Regulan Hussars there would have been no Jihad. They were the first ones to say "Hey, these WoB guys are bad news" when they showed up on Gibson, the first ones to shoot at them, and when everyone else thought what was left of WoB could be ignored, they hunted down every last one of them like animals. Tell yourself: a vote for the 1st Regulan Hussars is a vote against the Jihad.

I'm going to vote for C. 1st Regulan Hussars. Partially because I'm sure Luthien will win out (because it's Luthien) but also because I keep hoping going for FWL-related missions will possibly grab us a New Rim Worlds Republic based mission sooner rather than later. Also Frederick Steiner going Focht on Lestrade is a complete

I know that once they fall off the board that I will be filled with regret for ignoring the Chancellor/Highlanders and Regulan Hussars plotlines, and further, that the Solaris scenario is all but certain to be the most fun to play. But even so, I cannot ignore the siren call of a Really Important Battle. The Invasion of Luthien

Voting for C, the Hussars Seriously, we need a change of pace and I'd like to see a fight with the FWL. And besides, they're apparently on the verge of collapse and the only thing preventing that is an elite unit? Come on guys, really? Is there any other choice? Besides the Dracs can afford to lose a capital or three.

Luthien Armor Works is almost the size of Defiance Industries, but the Combine has almost no other manufacturing facilities. There's like... Independence Weaponry, and that's about it. I would say losing LAW is probably a bigger blow than losing the command center, because without it they don't have poo poo to build.

Heeeey, that's not fair, putting the Solaris mission into the same batch as the Luthien one!! Even I have to vote A now, sigh. Go, Hell's Horses. flutteryay.  Also, at the end of your post, the Solaris option is still titled “Business as Usual”, like the one from last time.

And Dieron, Benjamin, Pesht, Hachiman... hell, it makes no sense that Uncle Chandy's Hachiman Taro Enterprises mates fire-control systems to battlemechs if Hachiman isn't producing them. I personally just think the Combine has a ton of tiny factories, or just uses its massive populations to hand-build new (simple) Battlemechs (like Chargers and Panthers).

You realize that we'll almost certainly be facing Yorinaga Kurita and the Genyosha? And possibly Theodore leading the 2nd Sword of Light? I can't pass that fight up.

A Invade, my clanner friends, invade! For the glory of some kind of horse that probably isn't a pony. Some kind of ...Clydesdale? I don't know a lot about horses. And hand-building mechs is the only way to go. Just imagine some goonish fellow sitting in his mom's basement (which conveniently is several times deeper than the house is tall), building his very own Urbanmech. Edit: I don't know if this has been mentioned in the text or earlier or anything, but unlike the other clans, apparently if we're going by the map Hell's Horses go more for the Randomly-Lashing-Out strategy than anything else. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Nov 2, 2011 |

It depends on who's going to be playing which side, but as much as I want to see the Regulan Hussars, I have to go with A Luthien. That's just too big not to have player involvement with. Der Waffle Mous fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Nov 2, 2011 |

I'm just kind of using the Jihad as an example. The Combine lost LAW and pretty much their entire military-industrial complex fell apart and they were only able to keep going by converting the hulls of their two half-completely Battleships into mobile mech plants.

If the Combine is following the Imperial Japanese model from World War II the million tiny factories plan is exactly what they're using. Factory 117 is a one building shop that manufactures Panther left foot actuators and nothing else. Factory 118 three worlds over does Dragon gyro casings and nothing else. And so on, and so forth. It hurts your efficiency, and makes re-tooling into building something new a cast iron bitch, but on the other hand its damned hard to bomb an aircraft (or 'mech) factory when its broken down into its individual components and scattered over several cities (or planets.) Unless, of course, you just firebomb/nuke/(orbitally bombard) EVERYTHING. That usually works.

Well, keep in mind, the Snow Ravens did some crazy poo poo to Dieron, and Bemjamin was sacked pretty early on. So it wasn't just LAW.

Yeah, A and C were the hard ones. If you want the FWL to surivive then C, if you want to get killed by the dracs, A.

Scenario A is the reverse of the one we just played. Rather than being a Combine force that outnumbers a small but powerful Clan force, we'll be the small but powerful Clanners outnumbered by a LOT of Kurita guys. Expect to see a ton of Panthers to shoot. Probably it will be too many for us to be able to kill all of them before taking too much damage and becoming combat ineffective. Rather, it will be a race to fulfill the mission objective(s) before getting overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

Tarquinn posted:I really wanted to see a Solaris match, but with these stakes I cannot vote for something other than A. Yeah, that's exactly my dilemma. But at least the list of choices here means that we'll continue getting the Solaris option, even though everything is going to hell. I was afraid that after the time skip there would be no more opportunities for fun and games.

I just re-read some of the previous story interludes, and we have to consider the possibility that Luthien falling to the Clans would trigger Hanse's Operation Canary (or whatever he calls it) leading to the AFFS pulling a 4th War and turning Galahad into a full scale invasion of the Combine in order to stop the Clans. And THAT is far too awesome not to encourage! So vote A and by god, let's WIN IT!
