@Chrissa: Oh, yeah my bad. I had remembered discussing the Raven, and didn't double check your sheet before I posted.<br/><br/>As for the Jihad, what everyone else has said prettym uch sums it up. Word of Blake went crazy after the Inner sphere disbanded the new Star league. They began using nukes again for the first time in like 300 years. They nuked the Lyran Allian Capital as well as Outreach. They hired a bunch of mercenary commands to fight other mercenary units and really stuck it to the Dragoons. They wiped them out nearly to the man including the death of Jamie wolf ,and when the Dragoon's sent a space fleet to assualt Terra(Earth) the fleet was obliterated. They have sieged Luthien(Kurita Captial planet). About the only house they havn't messed with is Marik, who many believe is an allie of WoB. There is so much more, but I havn't had a chance to pick up the second and third sourcebooks for it.<br/>I chose 3067 as the starting point since that is the time just before the Jihad. Since the Jihad is new, having just been introduced near the end of last year, that gives us a chance to mold the universe the way we want. Depending on the units actions the Jihad may or may not happen, and will most likely be far different fro mthe way it is now. Heck even the fate of the clans is up for grabs.<br/>As far as mech designs go, many of the designs date back over 300 years. They just get upgraded with newweapons and the like. though there are also alot of stock older models out there. Therefore the Locust is still a viable choice. It may not be the best light mech around nowadays but it is still reliable.<br/>Okay Seereous has volunteered to switch to a mech for now and suggested a unit breakdown which for the most part i agree with. I have made a few slight changed to it and this is what I have come up with.<br/><br/>Command Lance<br/>CO: Colonel Angel - Awesome<br/>Major Mactaggert -Atlas(Comapny Commander)<br/>LT Drake<br/>NPC<br/><br/>Strike Lance<br/>Major Yamamoto - Wolverine(Lance C.O.)<br/>LT Farkes - Griffin<br/>NPC<br/>NPC<br/><br/>Recon<br/>XO: Lt. Colonel Ryan - Firefly<br/>LT Campbell - Locust (lance C.O.)<br/>NPC<br/>NPC<br/><br/>Nikita will be joining us soon and will be placed dependeing on her mech. Here is how the chain of command wil lbreak down.<br/><br/>Colonel Angel unit C.O.<br/>Lt. Colonel Ryan as X.O.<br/>Major Mactaggert C.O. Alpha Company<br/>Captain yamamoto Strike Lance C.O./Alpha company X.O.<br/>Captain Campbell Recon Lance C.O.<br/>Lt. Farks<br/>Lt. Drake<br/><br/>As we go we will have chances to recruit NPCs/players(I don't mind having to control several NPCs if it will make the unit better). The positions were based on a few factors. One was the characetr backgrounds. Since Kate a Michael were already part of the unit it makes snese that they would hold the higher positons. I also looked at rank in the background. I used that and compared it to the charts in the Mercenaries Handbook and assigned what I felt was an appropriate rank. I may have overlooked someones rank or something so if so let me know so I can finalize this before we go inot the first contract.<br/><br/>Unit Ranks:<br/>Colonel<br/>Lt. Colonel<br/>Major<br/>Captain<br/>Lt.<br/><br/>So if this set up owrks for you then we will go with it.<br/><br/><br/>
