I see much discussion about Kurita and seems some mercenaries have taken advantage of Steiners commitment to its clan border... but periphery is falling to "Clan Ghost Bear", we need to focus stopping them here.

Is this willingness to engage fear to engage or are mercenary retainer units simply AGAIN using clauses in their contracts to take their fight where it is is easier?
Look like we will have a grand battle at Rasalhague unless CGB push isn't stopped. And if this continues, Rasalhague may well fall.

Are some units committed to Clan front, or simply taking the easier targets?

[Abivard]

I believe all FRR units are focusing on the Clans.

[Malzel]

Spend more time on the front lines and you might run into my boys fighting the Clanners. We just drop more than we post.

Leoben was a tough loss, but the MercStar Alliance is a tough opponent. We'll adapt.

[PhoenixNMGLB]

Sorry guys I tried to help out on Leoben. This clan threat is something that will cause the whole IS problems if left unchecked.

Good luck on the field, mechwarriors.

[Blacke]

Been defending Kurita worlds against the FRR onslaught. So some units are trying to expand FRR borders in the innersphere.

[Dagadegatto]

Our mercenary unit is doing everything we can to help stop those Clan Psychos. We didn't take the contract with FRR because it's easy money, or because of any loyalty to the FRR. We are here because the FRR is facing the brunt of the attack and we feel it is our duty as residents of the Inner Sphere to defend it.

That said, we are having a hard time coordinating with the FRR military. Just catching a ride to the front lines is sometimes impossible...

Well, have been on front lines as much as I had time... that CGB push looks to be doing well and fear that some like the easier IS opponents. Perhaps I gotta put my money were my mouth is and find a unit instead of pugging it.

[Cerlin]

We (The SoR) have been balancing our play between IS skirmishes and ATTACKS especially on the clan planets. Defense is also important but keeping them on their toes on defense will also be important.

Oh hoho you so sneaky. I think we fought for that planet 3 times total, they fought the first time and gave up after we beat them once. A Vast majority of our action was vs clanners yesterday.

Being in a unit helps a lot with both finding a drop and doing better in drops. I had a 3 man help carry a mostly pug match. Even a little coordination goes a long way. (This was vs clans )

I cannot speak for the rest of the Federated Suns but I will be joining in the defense of the FRR.

Thank you sir! I have seen more Davion men in steiner than steiner men. Glad for the help on any part of the front.

Comstar Irregulars (CI) are fighting hard for FRR against the clans, with some success, We fought our units against CGB at Loeben, which was indeed a tough loss. We fought units against CW at Verthandi, even attacking at New Caledonia to try and keep them off balance.

12-man groups on comms definitely have an easier time of it, both attacking and defending. It's hard to herd cats (read pugs).

[Tordin]

Gotta be alot of focus on the bears, I barely get into a match but I always try to focus on helping against CGB.

Also. Is it set in stone that the FRR will lose a ton of territory as in the lore, or can we really change the timeline for the better of FRR?


I might be a pug, but I follow orders from you organized comm group, just give em out at beginning of battle.

[Haakon Magnusson]

Well, I've queuing for Clan front defences / attacks. Haven't seen any bigger units (You guys might be flying 12 mens, sure) but we've been doing alright with pug pool, win ratio being on our side. Rasalhague warriors obviously being top notch and nothing is set in stone.
Clan mech win %s haven't been there at the quoted numbers from clan vs is tests... going to be interesting to see though.

Though for me the 10 wins seems a little light, at east it should be bigger number for major planes, like Rasalhague... which should take longer to turn. To get a more epic fight out of it.

And I'll just give you mercs IC **** 'cause, Ronin wars

[Damon Howe]

I believe it goes without saying that PUG fighters should stick to defensive maneuvers, while grouped units should attack. It's far easier to type and coordinate a defense than an offense.

Not to say that if you're in your 3 or 6 man you should stick to defense only and leave the attacks to the 12 mans. Just if you're soloing.

Agree 100%! A bit frustrating when we have been working Susquehanna to 7 wins, attacks again and wins, and see that we are back to 4 wins, no actually now down to 3 wins when we are launching again.

[StalaggtIKE]

Just to make sure we're all on the same page; Rasalhague can not fall. CW doesn't allow capitals to be capped.

[Carl Wrede]

Been on the Clan front since the start of the war and my experience is that FRR pugs (solo or small group gatherings) are doing quite well at least when facing anything else than a readymade 12 from the Clans.

Not so much on attacks and counterattacks. I can probably name four or five people that completely lost faith in the fight. One team killed two of our own for what he believed to be desertion in the face of the enemy. Another tried to insight us all to eject and give them the match. A final one kept saying we shouldn't attack, that we should stay out of the enemy base. A sad state of affairs when dropping to attack a clan position in a pug.

[Soldryn]

The RageQuit mercenary corp. [QQ] has been doing everything we can to earn those bonus clauses in our 14 day contract with the Republic. Clan or IS, attack or defense, 12 man or PuG, we've smashed everything we've come across. We will continue to intervene wherever republican regiments need bolstering until either our contract is up, or the money runs out.
