Just to get a feel for how the FRR units might look what do the KungsArme warriors like to use? Keep in mind the timeframe we're working with.

My personal favorite is the Warhammer (Mjolnir), but if I have to use a smaller class I like the Panther, Centurion, Wolfhound, and Griffin.

I don't normally use assaults but if I did I would go with either the Battlemaster or the Zeus (a PPC variant like the ZEU-6T)

UrbanMech

[avril omega]

the mighty atlas then all could fear me . muuhhhhhhhh evil chuckle .

[Torvold]

Hunchback all the way.... G varient to be specific... Gimmee and AC20 and hell will follow

[Logan McCann]

Lynx or a Spartan or a Cestus.
BattleMaster.

[Salty Dog]

Either a Jenner, a Panther, or a Crab.

[Argatson Krieghammer]

urbanmech or Warhammer

[Dihm]

The Jenner concept art is drool worthy. I've always loved the Spider as well. Although, with the whole Information Warfare aspect, a Raven, if we can pry one away from Liao, would ROCK.

I've always been a fan of light and fast., but I was told by a unit member that may have to change. I guess "commanders" aren't supposed to go off "scouting" and "die."

An Archer, a Mauler, a Battlemaster, a Zeus, all would work I suppose. Though a Grasshopper would be better. Gotta have them jumps, it's my favorite DFA mech.

[flessar]

Atlas or TrashcanODOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!111!ONEoneoneONE!1111!!!!!

*ahem* that is all.

[Dihm]

Cyclops 11-C could be fun also... depending on how they handle the C3 computer.

Or the 11-B, with the two gauss rifles.

A Medium 'mech. My favorites that are available to the FRR include the Phoenix Hawk (45 tons) and the Bushwhacker.(55 ton). If I could have my choice of any Medium 'mech I would add the Draconis Combine Raijin (50 ton) to the list.

[Rogal Dorn]

Honestly I would figure just about any of the Draconis mechs would be available unless they were developed after 3040 or so.

While this is posted in the FRR Information part of this forum I will repost it here. The FRR did not have access to a whole lot to begin with. After the Clan invasions their selection grew through battle salvage and a sudden influx of technology from ComStar, but originally this is all the FRR had access too:

That is not even remotely a comprehensive list. A much better idea would be to go the the Master Unit List in the link below and set the filters to FRR and IS General along with whatever other filters you feel like setting.

I've a growing admiration for the Hunchback so perhaps that would be the one I aim to pilot. The concept art only makes it better

But its a year away so who knows...

Don't forget, we are all essentially mercs, regardless of what kinda "unit" some of you decide to roleplay as.
I'm quite convinced that players will have access to a larger market and thus, more mech types available for use. So unless the player adhere to his/her own strict personal "house" rules, its not hard to imagine that FRR-aligned mercs piloting Mechs that are not traditionally found in the FRR military.

Yeah that sarna list looked way too short for a whole nation's army.

[Dihm]

I can't imagine they'll limit the mech choices much, or at all, based on faction. Aside from the IS/Clan divide anyway, assuming they even let people play as the Clans.

[Jacob]

Trashcan of course.

While the Sarna list is not comprehensive, to say not even remotely so would be a mistake. Using the MUL and filtering for FRR along the appropriate timelines returns 28 hits vs Sarna's 21. Now, there are a variety of factors that make even that off, the most glaring being that Draconis Combine and Lyran mechs are relatively common in FRR space due to the time spent under their rule/at war with them, so any list really should include a subset of each sides forces. The Sarna list is a quick and easy listing of mechs that saw the most service in FRR forces.


That being said...I like the Battlemaster...but the Wolfhound is a standby favorite, more so if we get to melee.
