So under that math (15 stars total in a cluster equals 100% and just 5% can be Mechs) I come back with .75 as an answer or just 4 BattleMechs per Flurry Cluster at most. Translation not even a star. Sound right to you guys??

Yes but I don't know why I felt it was better to go the Composite Star way, perhaps to add a little something different from the usual and still provide the Flurry Clusters with some holding position potential (after all they were created for that).

You think the Mechs would be grouped together or the possession of the Cluster and Trinary Commanders??

From an efficiency point of view, I would say grouped together but these are the Clans... No I still think they can see the light sometimes and enforce something like that.

However, the Cluster Commander would probably be for one of the 'MechWarriors.

Well as a general principle I believe all equipment (Mechs, Fighters, Battlearmor, etc) is assigned by the Clan (i.e. the Khan or your unit commander) then any disputes are resolved by combat. While four Mechs would likely be more effective when grouped together it is just as possible that they could be split by Trinary Commanders. We should probably play it both ways with the two Flurry Clusters we outline here.

I gave it a thought but saw it as a waste of resources but what else can we expect from 3rd rate Warriors? ;)
