Taurian: B, because recklessly committing an unknown, and possibly uneeded, trump card is stupid as hell. Save it until it's needed. Plus a missile frigate isn't particularly effective against aerospace wings. FWL: A. These aren't Clans looking to actually take ground. They're in the mood for blood and are going to simply destroy anything that gets in their way, and the FWL doesn't exactly have ready means to counter the huge amount of Naval assets that grouping of Clans can bring to bear. D would be utter suicide for the League, and Duncan's smart enough to know it.

Congratulations on the short story! Taurian Concordat: A Restraint is not the Taurian way! FWL: A Falling apart at the seams IS the FWL way! Also the Best Clans get to go rampage around and kill Amaris, which should be hilarious.

Plus a missile frigate isn't particularly effective against aerospace wings. I like this line of reasoning. While it is tempting to go classic FWL and say D) No, YOU SHUT UP!, it is criminally stupid to oppose a Clan force with a very sizable naval presence that is hellbent on performing a Trial of Annihilation on Amaris and Co (and has no real interest in you unless you get in their way).

This sounds like shenanigans. I love shenanigans. I'll take you up on that offer and change my FWL vote to C. Will also edit prior post accordingly. If this gives Duncan time to come up with something either stupid, hilarious, or just plain bastardly then I'm all for it.

Taurian Concordat: A, because what the hell good is a weapon if you don't use it? Free Worlds League: B for the following reasons: a) NO YOU SHUT UP b) The best way to find out what a Batchall is will be to have one. c) Maintaining the moral high ground while not get trampled into the space-dirt.

Of course it is the Jade Falcons who get bloodied by the new power bloc. Political Vote 13: Taurian Concordat: A) Deploy the TCS Vendetta. 17 year-olds do not make very rational decisions. Free Worlds League A) Allow the Clans to pass unmolested.

B) Hold the TCS Vendetta in reserve. A) Allow the Clans to pass unmolested. For once I'd like to see the Taurians play things smart and keep an ace up their sleeve when it comes to dealing with the Davions, hell they might even find a way to make it really hurt.  Also I like the FWL too much to see them get swarmed by the Clans so soon. Better to let the Clanners deal with Amaris, it's not like he's any friend of Marik's.

I know I'm curious, though it certainly seems to lack that granularity and detail that gives BT its charm.

By the way PTN... Remember the WITP LP, don't do anything to our... space 80's enterprise  because I will be so sad if a big shiny warship gets blown up in anything less than the most glorious fashion.

B and C Because I think I have to reread this thread to remember when the Vendetta was first mentioned, but a warship as an asset is probably something they shouldn't just reveal at the drop of a hat. And because who knows, maybe this group of clanners won't be total jerks and actually clarify what a batchall is and what a trial is and Duncan can make a more sound decision on whether to let them pass or whether to accept it.

A and A have my vote. The Taurens have a history of commiting to colossally bad decisions because of their paranoia of the Davions, and I can't see them changing now.

The Taurians having a functioning Warship is pretty much only a secret because nobody in the Inner Sphere cares enough to spy on them.

Having recently finished reading through this whole thing: holy poo poo, this is incredible. Well done to all those involved, especially PTN. On that note: Taurians: B, if only because voting they act in-character is silly, the whole point is to rewrite history! FWL: C, because if they actually tell the FWL what the hell they're talking about and the Batchall ends up being a scenario, the FWL might bring forces better suited to winning (or at least putting up a decent fight).

B to be contrary to what the Taurians normally do. And as for the other, I'll reference you're annotated episodes of Battletech. "Is this some kind of choke" "You dare to refuse my Bacaw!?" "Refuse your what?" C if that didn't sink in. Side note: Will there be anymore episodes of that?
