It looks like a pretty Davion force but I am surprised you didn't go a bit heavier. I always think that Light Mechs are easier to produce but easier to destroy while Heavy Mechs take longer to produce but could be salvaged more easily.

True enough especially for the Cataphract and the Battlemaster just might be to rare itself.

The Griffin is Davion too though. I still have the Wasp and Locust to include if you like as well.

I suppose if we can do a time line of the unit since the 3020s. That would eliminate the Hatchetman and you could see a progression over time.

I can work on a first draft (along my other top secret project and the Ostsol ).
When shall we make them start?

I had the same idea. They could have taken the first 'Mechs/Vehicles/Aerospace Fighters from the battlefield and hide them from the invaders.

Hatchetman could end up there after Little Richard forces arrive

ms to be unfit or corrupt governors or units. The people in the Capellan March believe that they are the ghosts of the 28th Avalon Hussars, coming back to make those acting wrongly.

Even for those loving a good old horror story, this does not make any sense as the 28th Avalon Hussars was a victim of the Kuritan onslaught of the First Succession War and its final grave is on Schedar where it met its fate during Operation Solar Shield.

However, the colours of the ‘Mechs are consistent with those used by the Avalon Hussars and each of these unidentified ‘Mech displays a coat of arm after a Round Table Knight, linking them somehow to the Knights of Avalon. What is strange is that although the coat of arms remain the same, the ‘Mechs they are linked to seem to change over the different battles.

According to our latest intel, the Taurian Defence Forces have decided to create an Aggressor unit (codename Minotaur), able to train their units in the tactics used by our forces.

We will further investigate this issue.

After further investigation, it seems they only managed to put together some of their units and paint them according to some of our colours.
Our agent in the TDF Headquarters managed to get a clear view of this unit in action and they are well below our standards and tactics.

Since the end of the 1st Succession War, the TDF seems to have focused on reinforcing its strength, disbanding any special or independent unit they might and giving priority to their front-line units.
I would therefore suggest closing once and for all the Minotaur file.
