Battletech-Mercenaries

Good news friends! I got the issue with the unit application sorted out, so within a day or so it should get approved, and we can get rolling. So if you haven't already headed over to the BTM website
http://www.battletech-mercenaries.com/

do so, make a character. Make sure to set the character's unit to 'SAVE CHARACTER', unless our unit name is listed in the dropdown(Camerons Cuirassiers).

Once we get 3 of you into the system we can start looking into contracts and such, and i'll start buying equipment. Im hoping I can get my beloved Templar, but we shall see what everyone else wants first

also as an fyi, I am heading down to Balitmore this morning, and I have surgery scheduled for thursday morning early. So...don't expect to hear anything out of me thursday like...at all. Unless i wake up and decide to jump on my tablet(I doubt it). Friday is prob when I'll be awake enough from anasethesia to actually function. However I'll be on my tablet tomorrow after like, 4pm, and throughout wednesday.


On to unit discussion things: I need to appoint someone as the unit's XO. The XO, in addition to being the offical 2nd in command of the unit, is also able to operate the unit when Im unavailible(like if i was going to be away and there was a contract the unit really wanted, or if I for some odd reason couldn't collate and submit the transcript for a contract completion), they'd be the person who could do it. Is there someone who wants to be the backup, before I stick Hugin with the responsibility and then go running off- i mean...

[Parmenion]

Spoken like a true dictator     I'll second Hugin as XO!!

As an aside, do we have to stick with canon mechs, or can we have a custom.

ie.... custom Jenner IIC.   4x Clan ERML, TC and max armour.

[Parmenion]

OK.  Just joined up with the site as a member.  Will be working on my character application over the next day or two.

[Altrak]

HAve to learn for a big test the next two weeks, will sign up immediatly afterwards

Hiya boyos. Friendly neighborhood DK here, live from.my hospital bed in Baltumore. To keep the unit creatio. Going smoothly, ima ask u guys for hekp. We need a unit logo to finalize the creation. So go out and find some logos peeps# post em here so we can choose one to submit

[Valjean]

For the logo, would be nice to have some info on unit background/ideas/name?

[Daemonknight]

Name of the unit is Cameron's Cuirassiers. The unit CO was born and raised on Skye. He graduated Nagelring and was assigned to 7th Skye Rangers and served w tours od duty, fighting the Clans in a massive multi-natkonal campakg. CLled Operation Lorelai.

Once he returned home to Skye, the ranger high Command aaw him as unreliable(he isnt part of the free Skye movemwnt. He dosent much care tbh). So basiclly he was removed from command(honorabk discharge as there was very liftle annimosity about the whole situarion.


The unit takes its tacticL doctrine from the Grey Death Legion and the AFFS RCT structure. Combined aems is their hallmark. Anyone not from the LA would likely be known from the SLDF units assigned to Loreai.

Beyond that, i hadnt into real detail of the unit, figured you guys would want to have input as to the unit's composirio

[Daemonknight]

So progress is being made on the merc unit boyos. Im.not at my comp, so finding clipart is gonna be annoying for me. However, im not too concerned what our unit insignia is, so if anyone has any cool clipart, lets get that up there so thr unit can be offical. Then we just need 3 ppl to signup on the site and we can look into contracts

[Altrak]

Cuirassiers and Skye... well, give me some time and I will definitely come up with a emblem for the unit (drawing it myself).

Any preffered coloures?

[Valjean]

I am already signed up on Mercenaries, have you created a unit yet?


as for unit assignment I would like some sort of small unit special forces infantry or spec op battlearmor. I figure that will be fun role play and give me something different in this BattleMech world.

[Daemonknight]

@Altrak: blue is my personal fav color. I think blue/gold or blue/green would be my personal choices.

@Val: Im perfectly happy with that idea. i had a 2 squad(or platoon? i forget) in an earlier unit build as my SF section. they were equipped with Infiltraitor MkII PA/L, so they werent BA, they are still infantry.

Part od the reason is that the actual stealth BA is insanely.expensive for s starting unit. i had wanted to build out the unit with a WolfNet-esque intelligence command too.

[Daemonknight]

also, the unit is active atm, but we needna unit insignia before we can proceed.

when your char is made try to select "Cameron's Cuirassiers" as your unit of choice. if its not availible yet, gotta wait till we have a unit insignia first

[Daemonknight]

to remind people: the unit name is Cameron's Cuirassiers. if if jt does t show up, its because we dont have a unit insignia yet. once we get that, we should be ready to start accepting applications. once 3 accts
 have been accepted we should be able to start purchasing equipment and taking contracts, thus getting this show onnthe road
 i dont have access to my PC yet, still very difficult for me to move around.


jusr wanted to give everyone a clear update

[Daemonknight]

hello hello? anyone still interested in this? im back n baltimore sadly, but trying to organize the
