Mercenaries Wanted! (3rd Marik Civil War)
« on: March 04, 2020, 09:48:45 PM »
The need for professional soldiers has never been greater than now especially with the Free Worlds League who has a history of employing privateers. The outbreak of the 3rd Marik Civil War features at least three claimants for the Captain-Generalship and a host of Provinces yearning to remain free or reunite their ancient lands. Corporations are also looking to protect their interests and even a few foreign powers have become embroiled in the conflict. With a host of employment opportunities at hand such contractors are hereby welcome to post their resume. Please state your unit's name, commander, history, and current strength for review!

Late 3052 sees the outbreak of the 3rd Marik Civil War, so yes Ice that is your date. Employment opportunities will follow. Try to keep your unit realistic especially in terms of size. Company of Mechs is appropriate, battalion could be done but a regiment well that is tough. Don't forget about other forces as well. Infantry, armor, aerospace, etc are welcome!!

The Terran Summit is indeed 3053 and goes differently from canon because, well one reason anyway, of the Free Worlds League breaking down as the InnerSphere's weapons supplier against the Clans.

Ansar al-Malik
"Supporters of the King"


A paramilitary mercenary unit established just within the last few months. Formed from with the backbone of former retainers of the ruling family of Payvand. Filling many roles Mullah Abd al-Malik ibn Malek is leader and a religious focal point for the people of Payvand. Taking advantage of the ongoing conflicts plaguing the Free Worlds League in recent months, the Mullah has invested a significant portion of his families wealth into securing some designs from the Draconis Combine as well as the blueprints to be produced at the PayMax Industrialplex. To offset these costs a portion of his followers he has leased out to local planetary leaders as mercenary support while they ride out the storm that is just starting.

Officers
Mullah Abd al-Malik ibn Malek is a figurehead for the unit, leading his troops from the rear as he has limited knowledge of battlefield tactics and instead relies on his XO Major Ali Fadavi for day-to-day operations and battlefield command.

Tactics
The Anser specialize in hitting hard and fading fast with the inclusion of combined arms to constantly harass opponents while giving opportunities for sections of the force to fall back for resupply.

Support
With only enough technicians to service ten of their twelve BattleMechs and half their fighting vehicles as new tech's are still in the process of being trained with the designs.

Ansar al-Malik
Battalion/Regular/Fanatical
CO: Mullah Abd al-Malik ibn Malek
1st Gooya Company Major Ali Fadavi
1st Rahavard Company Captain Hossein Ashtari
1st Tehran Company Captain Farshid Farhat
Each company is composed of a single BattleMech lance along with company of mixed armored vehicles. Predominately of which many are of Hover and VTOL types. Mech Composition tends toward lighter designs with a mix of mediums. No Lostech equipment can be found on any of them.

1st Pejman Basij Regiment
Regiment/Green/Fanatical
Formed from fanatics often used in “human wave” tactics, in which they are deployed as cannon fodder or minesweepers, against enemy units. Armed with limited equipment and armor, commonly they are replacing issued equipment with battlefield salvage.

Ties in well with the Tarmanid concept that I will be incorporating into Salient Horizon which was created by Miss Kotare long ago.

BTW, I asked Liam's Ghost over on the BattleTech forums if I could use his Night Legion following his Port Sur write up. He did authorize their use and I think they would fit well here. Of course, I will have to back date things but like I said they fit nicely. Details at the link below;

Night Legion
Morally Agnostic, Religiously Capitalist

Space Above and Beyond?

Aren't these guys aerospace forces with a marine background?? I wouldn't mind if say they were a wing but as is I would pass.

Seems like your trying to go in the same direction as the Night Legion - with independently operating companies.

The Free Worlds Legionnaires were created after the Andurien Secession - it would be more proper to say that he was with the Defenders of Andurien and somehow survived to be incorporated into the FWL.

Yup, familiar with the Free Worlds Legionaries.

Smaller Mech units (company) or other forces such as aerospace fighters, tanks, infantry, etc.. are the spicy I am looking for.

Also is their Wildcards in Four Card Drax?

Don't worry! Big Mac was already taken.
By "I need to know" I meant "I need to find a solution" but this was more something for me to do.
