Clan Hell's HorsesOverview: The most unusual of the Clans, the Hell's Horses deliberately downplayed the use of BattleMechs in favor of vehicles and infantry. Only the Snow Ravens had a smaller proportion of 'Mechs and Fletcher's unorthodox organization and tactics were viewed with disdain by many of his fellow Khans. However, Nicholas saw the wisdom in having a diverse range of troops and tactics and his disposal and gave his support to the Horses. Like the Widowmakers, the Horses bent Nicholas' dictate of 40 warriors per Clan almost to the breaking point -- they designated only vehicle and squad commanders to be full-fledged warriors (i.e., what would be officer and NCO ranks in an Inner Sphere military) and for the other positions to be designated "auxiliaries"Â allowing them to field a substantially bolstered conventional force. It was a gamble, but a calculated one that would pay off handsomely in the bitter campaign that followed.
Abilities: When building a Hell's Horses force, the Horses player may select 2 vehicles in lieu of a single 'Mech of the same weight class (e.g., if a roll says they have a medium 'Mech they may instead select 2 medium vehicles). At least 50 percent of the units in any Horses force must be vehicle units.
John Fletcher's experience and loyalty to the Kerenskys won him a place in the Clans but his "everyman" approach (and love of tinkering with machinery, be it an assault rifle or a tank's drive train) make him an atypical Clan Khan. The loyalty of his troops is absolute -- any Hell's Horses force he commands automatically passes morale checks -- and his willingness to lead from the front inspires the troops who gain a -1 to-hit modifier to all attacks whenever he is present on the battlefield. Fletcher's specialty is the "conroi"Â (named for a medieval cavalry squadron), where several vehicles move and fight as a single entity. When a Hell's Horses force under Fletcher's control wins initiative, a number of vehicles equal to the roll's Margin of Success (and within 3 hexes of the Khan) may move with Fletcher as single "unit"Â (e.g., if the Horses won initiative by 2 points, and two vehicles are within Fletcher's proximity, two vehicles may move at the same time as the Khan's unit when it moves).
