I just hope that the Clans don't make an appearance for quite some time. I love the Clan technology, don't get me wrong, but you fight with what you have, and deal with it. I hate people complaining they want OmniMechs from day one.

IMHO, the reason the Inner Sphere eventually defeated the Clans is because their warriors were not as dependent on the advanced technology and they were the Clans equals (or perhaps superiors) on the battlefield. If you have been fighting with the 'Mech equivelant of horses and flintlock rifles and are suddenly are given tanks and machine guns (once you learn how to use them), you will be all the better than someone who has been dependent on that technology.

Wrong. The Clans were defeated because they refused to adapt.

Of course I do not mean, Wolf :) but our victory was overshadowed by the other Clans losses/draws. The Clans as a whole lost.

Then I hope to see you in the field, and I hope that you are not too banged up to give me a good run for my money... I would be disappointed if that happened. May your battles be glorious, your bloodlust sated, and your mech strong.

Only because of Honorless actions by your Stravag warden Ilkhan.

Inner Sphere (Non-Kurita) tactics (ganging-up on an opponent) with Clan Tech or Clan equivalent tech beats Clan Tactics (one-on-one) with Clan tech any day.

Seriously, we only wanted to save you from the evil houses and their constant Succession Wars.
I don't get why we always get such a bad rep, each Successor State has killed more people on average then all Clans combined.
People can mention Turtle Bay, but that was fireworks compared to the first Succession War.

Join the Clans, we minimize casualties through honorable warfare away from civilian targets.

Honorable when they get their way... pissed off little children throwing a temper tantrum when they don't... razing cities to the ground, killing innocents... orbital bombardment of planets (and this isn't just the Jaguars)... don't get me wrong, the Great Houses did much the same during the early Succession Wars... There were pacts and accords created to minimize civilian casualties over the ages in BT I.S. lore (before and after the Clans)... btw... that's just in reference to some of the Crusader Clans :blink:

Who died and made you judge? We offered you tactical advice, and even the Precentor of Comstar admitted, if the rest of the Clans had fought like us, then we would have won, but instead you said "F*** YOU Ulric, we'll handle this by ourselves,". Hate to say we told you so, but we kinda did.

Once a ******* gain, CRUSADER MENTALITY, how many times do I have to preach this people. :D This is like me calling the davions, dracs... or all the IS committed the Kentares Massacre. It's just bloody infuriating guys, okay? Alright out burst over. :P Anyone else want to try and clump us together, I am sure even Odin agrees with me on this one, as I am sure that he doesn't want to be called a Wolf again, right Odin?

What are you talking about? Ulric offered advice to all the Clans on how to fight, nobody but the Wolves listened. It is your own fault. Do not blame us for your ineffectiveness & stubbornness. .

All Inner Sphere people, shtop shooting! Sit quietly and let the Clans tear each other apart while I hand out free cookies.

Corpses. Kill them all, method is unimportant. Just make sure those descendants of honorless deserters get what their ancestors' treasonous actions earned them. Despite what they would have you believe there is nothing righteous or justified about their actions and goals. They are no better than technologically advanced periphery bandits. Even scum like Redjack Ryan and Helmer Valasek of Oberon IV have a more justified claim on ruling any part of the Inner Sphere than these foreign invaders.

Kill them all, down to the last man.

Pffft, the houses betrayed the Star League by disbanding it, this is the highest treason of all.

I'm something of a Crusading Warden so to speak, I have no beef with the soldiers of the IS. The Houses themselves will have to be destroyed or disbanded for all the horrible things they have done over the last couple of centuries.
