Bandit Unit Wanted!! (BV2 Challenge)
« on: March 21, 2020, 05:34:25 PM »

Hey gang, I am trying to put together a scenario for a BattleMech Company of ours who is busy policing the old Rim Worlds circa 3053-4. In their next mission we've decided to put the Battle Value 2.0 system into use which is a first for me. So I'd like your help in creating their opponents.

Here is your three criteria; canon BattleMech designs only, must be available in 3053 era, and your total BV2 must not exceed 40,000 points.

Bonus, these troops should have a limited amount of Level 2 tech and primarily be composed of Level 1 tech.

Background fluff; an unknown third party is trying to unite two or more pirate bands into a single bandit unit for the purposes of wreaking havoc on the nearby region.

After doing everything in a random way, I am at 47.5 tons per 'Mech in average and before adjusting because of skills at a little more than 11,000 points.

Before I go any further and write some fluff is that too much or not enough?

Look forward to seeing what you got Ice. ;)

I love fluff. It is always helpful.

My approach to the Ghost Furies mission briefing is X-Com style. Marching orders are come from a mysterious patron known as Central which operates out of the old Rim Worlds region. Thus far the Furies have been working in the anti-spinward areas of the Lyran Commonwealth and the Periphery squaring off against small bandit groups and pirates mainly.

This mission is the fifth entitled Operation Shattered Union which aims to thwart the formation of a much larger bandit group instigated by an unknown third party who is trying to unite two or more pirate bands into a single bandit unit for the purposes of wreaking havoc in the area.

I always try to start with the bandits origins which in this case probably wouldn't include ComStar exiles or Bandit Caste as I am hooking up native units of this area. Although I suppose Rogue Mercenaries fit but the area is ripe with ancient Amaris fanatics, Periphery Outlaws, Lyran or Marik Renegades, and outright Pirates. These are my typical archetypes I draw on. Have fun!

Each lance is 13k so total is 40k BV just in case you missed that.


I removed my google drive links for now. Attached to personal email address and didn't want to leave it up for long. I'll post again in another format later.

Tyree's Terrors are a small pirate band that operates in the Rimward periphery preying upon targets along the boreder of the Federated Suns, Taurian Concordat, Capellan Confederation, Magistracy of Canopus and all worlds in between. They've had bases in the Tortuga Dominion and the Aurigan Reach. They are currently on the run with a high price on their collective heads. Enrico Tyree took command of the unit after he, Malinda Renner and Conal Dalgliesh deserted from the 15th Alshain Regulars during the Clan Invasion. The Terrors are divided into three lances, Terror (Command), Torment (Battle) and Tornado (Recon).

The Terrors tend to hit their targets with quickness and inflicting as much terror upon their victims as possible before grabbing as much loot as possible. They have two Drophsips (A Union (Black Terrier) and a Gazelle (Mad Dog)). In addition to the Battlemech they also have a company of Motorized infantry that help with the carrying off their loot. Interstallar transport is provided by the Invader-class Jumpship Starcrossed Wanderer which carries an ancient Typhoon Fighter and a S-7A Bus in the small craft bays. The zJumpShip currently does not carry a third DropShip.

Commander Enrico Tyree pilots the only Mech with any advanced tech, a GHR-5J Grasshopper which he stole when he deserted.

The Terrors have a large support staff that can supply about 65% of their needs. The infantry are transported by anumber of small vehicles (pickups and SUVs) some of which have been fitted with a variety of infantry machine guns and grenade launchers. They have two wheeled APCs and several 5-ton cargo trucks.

C.O.
Major Edwin Garden
X.O.
Captain Elizabeth Barr

Headquartered out of an unknown location within the Aquila Rift. The bandit group Garden Variety is new to the region according to AFFC reports. Rumors speculate that the unit may be a unit of group of Jade Falcon freebirths in the mold of a redone Wolf's Dragoons, though this has been quickly rebuffed by officials, stating that their designs are ones that are common in House units and were designed after the Clans left unlike the variety seen with the initial appearance of the Dragoons. Though this has quelled official speculation many local leaders along the periphery border still stoke the fears of a renewed Clan invasion. Unique ability for a bunch relative newcomers and well maintained designs though make many believe this a bunch of former AFFC members that may have deserted during the Clan invasion and have turned to the bandit life. MI6 and Loki are awaiting the capture of any of their members for interrogation, but as of now it appears the pilots either turn off their auto eject functions or take their own lives in the cases of potential capture.
