I think putting inner sphere XL engines on an assault 'Mech is utter foolishness -- but decided to try side-grading the Red Devil Battlemaster, and find a way to keep it semi-viable while retaining its core stats and just doing a weapons and heat sink refit.  Came up with two alternatives which both sort-of work, although both still suboptimal for the insane 20M C-Bills price.

Although Red Devil Industries was the first Commonwealth firm to upgrade their Battlemaster lines, their 3050 upgrade (the 3S) was extraordinarily lackluster, proving to be undersinked and massively out-ranged by the Clan invaders that quickly turned into their primary front-line opponent.  Equipped with a massive Edasich 340XL engine, this Battlemaster also proved to be expensive and relatively fragile for an assault ‘Mech, particularly one that was designed primarily as a close-range brawler, even with its combination of PPC and LRM-20.

Facing pressure to upgrade their lines to better respond to the Clan threat, Red Devil scrambled to comply.  Given how long it would take to dramatically redevelop their Battlemaster, they instead concentrated on fitting it a new set of weapons, intended to better respond to the Clan threat.  In all cases, Red Devil focused on using their existing stock piles and production lines, to more quickly restructure their offerings, and to limit any potential supply issues (given their proximity to the front lines).

The first of the redesigns basically turns the Battlemaster into a heavier, better-armored Archer (although at a significantly higher price point).  The primary weapons system is the Far Fire LRM-20, the sole weapon on their 3S design that was positively received by both commanders and pilots, especially when facing the Clans.  Six tons of ammunition, distributed across both torsos, provide reasonable endurance on the field, and a pair of Magna Mk III Large Lasers add some credible mid-ranged firepower.  One weapon is jettison-capable in the right hand of the 3S2, while the other is mounted center-line in the center torso.  Although perfectly capable on the battlefield (it is, after all, a command-equipped Archer), the 3S2 is heavily dependent on supply lines for its missiles.

As a result, Red Devil also designed the 3S3, intended to be a mid-ranged striker capable of lengthy deploments and operating far from its supply lines (or even separated from those lines) – in other words, the sort of ‘Mech that could pose a serious problem for Clan opponents over a period of many weeks or even months.  This variant design equips no less than six Magna Mk III Large Lasers, spread out across its arms and torsos.  This variant Battlemaster also has a total of twenty double heat sinks, and can vent the waste heat of the majority of its weapons consistently, allowing it maintain a sustained laser barrage almost indefinitely.  To Red Devil’s surprise, this design – although rated as somewhat less efficient than their 3S2 long-range missile variant – has seen interest both from the AFFC, as well as from a variety of mercenary commands, and by the end of 3053 has become their primary Battlemaster offering.

Overview:
   Once House Liao commanded the largest BattleMaster fleet of any of the Successor States but that changed over time. The collapse of the Star League left the Capellan Confederation in possession of the original Hollis Industries line on Corey which gave them the lead production. This factory manufacturing such a versatile and powerful BattleMech became the site of many early Succession War battles between House Marik and Liao. This combat would eventually destroy the site during the Second Succession War but still the Confederation’s BattleMaster fleet endured. New production sites in Lyran Commonwealth and Free Worlds League space along with mounting casualties cost the Capellan state its top spot but the worse was yet to come. The calamity that was the Fourth Succession War nearly obliterated what was left of the Confederation’s BattleMasters. Those not captured by the Federated Suns or lost to the breakaway St. Ives Compact now composed the smallest BattleMaster fleet in the InnerSphere. While many expected the new Chancellor to simply authorize an upgrade to the BLR-3M model for his remaining forces they failed to reckon with his ambition. Commissioning his own unique refit that would take advantage of the eighty-five-ton Mech’s fast movement to create a mobile city commander that could brawl if necessary. Assisted by members of the Isis Liberation Force (ILF) and Canopian allies the aptly nicknamed ‘UrbanMaster’ retrofit quickly came together at the end of 3053.

Capabilities:
   Sun Tzu directed Hellespont ‘Mech Works of Sian to undertake the modernization efforts for the Capellan BattleMaster shortly after the Battle of Tukayyid. Engineers decided to retain as much of the original 1G as possible mixing in some unique lostech advances where possible. The rugged Hollis Mark X chassis along with its venerable VOX 340 Fusion as well as the original Hartford electronic systems remained at the core of the design. One Holly Short Range Missile Pack-6 and five Martell Medium Lasers were also kept at the end of the creative process even though one ton of missile reloads were removed. Two Firmir LaserLite Small Lasers were exchanged for the rear firing Medium Lasers while one of those Martell Mediums replaced the Machine Guns in the left arm. Firmir Weaponry on Betelgeuse also provided the Magna 900p Large Pulse Laser which superseded the old Donal Particle Projection Cannon in the right arm. This weaponry while decidedly short-ranged proved to be superbly accurate and powerful. Fifteen Double Heat Sinks enabled this arsenal to continuously without much concern to overheating. The addition of four Hellespont Leaper Jump Jets could change that equation somewhat but enable the BattleMaster to lift one-hundred and twenty meters in a single bound. While their use must be monitored in conjunction with weapons’ fire the jets add another layer of physicality it’s attack range with Death from Above maneuvers now possible. Defensively fourteen and a half tons of Hellespont Lite Ferro-Fibrous replaced the old Star Guard IV plating producing near maximum armor protection for the Liao BattleMasters. Finally, a Guardian ECM Suite was mounted in the center torso to disrupt enemy communications or augment friendly security operations. 

Deployment:
   Overhaul of the remaining Capellan BattleMaster fleet began early in 3054 on Sian with the Red Lancers, Warrior House Imarra, and the 4th Tau Ceti Rangers all receiving upgrade orders. A single model in the Sian Home Guard is also slated for retrofitting with other nearby CCAF units scheduled soon after. McCarron’s Armored Cavalry may follow if the situation along the Andurien front in the 3rd Marik Civil War permits a break in the fighting. Forces of the Magistracy of Canopus are last on the refurbishment priority list but could start the process by the start of 3055.

Not sure I will have time for my C3-Master but I will try. Hopefully will have another one up tomorrow.

The double barrel gun just screamed Blazer or double weapons...

Faced with an enemy combining slightly superior technology and slightly better skills (this point is still open to debate), the Inner Sphere had to react.

In military strategy, there are two great schools of thoughts: the manoeuver one (with the decisive battle at the end of it) and the attrition one. Even if not consciously, the Inner Sphere relied on the later to deal with the Clans as two of the three main invaded realms had the luxury to be big enough to wear them off before being able to overwhelm them (see the analysis in the chapters on Grant’s campaigns  in the SLDF strategy textbook published in 2750 ).

However to do so requires numbers (which were on the Inner Sphere side) and enough “cheap”, reliable and efficient weapons that could be produced “en-masse”. This is why a lot of money was invested in new production lines and new models or kits to retrofit the existing ‘Mechs and vehicles literally flooded the Inner Sphere militaries.

In spite of still being anchored in its traditional approach to warfare and its belief in the supremacy of its samurai ethos, the Draconis Combine, thanks to Theodore Kurita’s reforms and the first months of the Clan invasion, was ready to go into this direction. Among the projects proposed to the DCMS, Independence Weaponry decided to focus on the capacity of applying focused firepower on selected targets thanks to the use of C3 computers networks. This is how the BLR-2K family came to live.

The idea was to produce on Soul, a “cheap” (we are talking about an Assault ‘Mech) family of commanding ‘Mechs, able to give the DCMS the tactical edge it needed while sharing as many common components as possible.

The first one was the BLR-2KM, that packed two C3 Master Computers, allowing it to coordinate the fire of a full Company.
With 4 Medium Lasers, 2 Small Pulsers and 1 ER PPC and shielded by 13.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous Armour and cooled by 16 Double Heat Sinks, it can stay on the field almost forever.
For only a small drop in firepower, the BLR-2KM (for Master) is a powerful tool and the fact that it uses only Kuritan systems and most of them already produced on Soul or by Independence Weaponry is another positive point.

The second member of the family is the BLR-2KS (for Samurai) is the Lance commander that can tie into a bigger network thanks to its C3 Master and Slave Computers.
The 4 Medium Lasers (a characteristic of the whole family) are backed up by 2 Small Pulse Lasers (as a protection against infantry) and 2 PPC (left-overs from the Panther). On the defensive side, apart from the Ferro-Fibrous Armour, one Anti-Missile System and a Guardian ECM Suite shield this commanding ‘Mech.
Its 10 Double Heat Sinks are a bit on the low side for cooling it but this problem  is easily neutralised through the use of the best weapons selection at each range.

The last member of the BLR-2K family is the BLR-2KK (for Katana), the close combat fighter. With 1 Binary Laser and its 4 Medium Lasers, it can deal with most threats while the Narc Missile Beacon, the C3 Slave and the Guardian ECM Suite are there to help its teammates. A little more complex to use as one has to remember that he/she is only a part of the team, a mind set that can be found in the younger generations of the DCMS.

Will the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery make something out of the potential for innovation of the Kuritan industry and will it adopt in a conscious way, the tactics and strategy most likely to be successful? This remains to be seen.

Overview:
BattleMaster FC (Steiner-Davion) The massive dual alliance possessed two factories and significant Liao salvage following the 4th Succession War. The Clan invasion cut into this fleet and the sovereigns are looking to hit back with a new refit. Pandora in poor shape. Refit by another company.
Steps to help restore Hollis Incorporated on Corey
Rejuvenate the badly damaged remnants in the Sarna March
Huron Warrior in development   

Capabilities:
A compromise design
Uses a bit of the Steiner approach (remove the PPC and SRM-6 for an LRM-15, an LRM-5 and two SRM-2s) and a bit of the Davion (the SRM-6 and 2 rear firing medium lasers are removed for six more heat sinks). Succession War Davion 1Gd removed the Machine Guns and 2 Heat Sinks for 4 forward firing Medium Pulses.
ER Large Laser in place of the PPC at the insistence of Davion

Two Streak SRM-2s
Ferro-Fibrous armor, no CASE
13 Double Heat Sinks
Two forward firing Medium Lasers also retained

Just didn't think this one in particular had enough going for it. Was also knocking around the idea of weapon swaps for the PPC which included 2 Ultra AC/5s and another one with an LB 10-X AC but never really formalized those concepts.

Okay folks, this contest has ended, no more entries please!
