Hail brothers of the Capellan Confederation!
Hail Loyalists of Liao!
For two weeks now I and members of the unit I belong to have been strapping on the Clans in an attempt to evaluate their abilities. Happily our timing couldn't have been more perfect.

I would have members of our Confederation consider the following and make use of the time to prepare for Tukayyid.

1. AMS: Laser vomit is alive and well in the clan. Still, they often pack LRMs and SSRMs as a secondary system. Please equip any and ALL mechs you plan on bringing to Tukayyid with AMS with the possible exception of ECM mechs you are bringing! Multiple AMS can defeat any and all Clan missile systems.

2. Drop decks: Consider your drop decks. Against the Clan 250 tons may be brought as opposed to 240. Adjust accordingly. Please bring one machine with ECM per drop deck if you own one.

3. AC's: I have found that the Clans fear and respect big AC's. If you like to leaven your builds with cannon consider building pure AC machines. 5's, UAC's and 10's make the clan weak in the knees. AC20's are harder to manage due to range constraints, still they have their place. They also provide satisfying explosions as they crit those slime!

4. Missiles...Only those with well organised units who can provide experienced missile support should bother. Small units and individuals will find that the clan ECM is...well...overwhelming.
Pure missile boats should stay home. As a secondary weapon they are also not useful. If you have the hardpoints bring SRM's instead.

5. Consumables: ALWAYS have a full deck of Arty and UAC's they can make a close fight a winning fight and I can assure you the honorless slime spawn make frequent and copious use of them.

6. Finally please make use of TS of other units if you are alone or in a small group.

Best luck,

G7

Will 4TCR be back in Liao by the event? I was thinking we could coordinate a day of the event to get as many Liao together.

[Karzer]

We're planning to roll out our full 4 companies for this.

Hail Maxwell!

Yes, I believe all regular members of 4TCR will be back in color.

Cheers,

The Brethren Pirate Periphery Confederation will be there in force. I personally will most likely alternate my QKD deck with my Phoenix deck and my Brawler deck. Each is formidable and works well against Clanners.

We have several good ECM pilots who will likely be joining us and all of us run AMS. We're brawling oriented and excel at the Counter Attack Game Mode. Hopefully, we will be fielding full 12-Mans during the North America drop times.

[Orkdung]

The Rangers will be back and in full force for this event:

Brown leather mech jackets with Sternsnacht Python Auto pistols strapped to our legs.

[Zvolimir the Blackhand]

Gatekeepers will commit 2 companies prime times, operations groups up to company will go around the clock as we achieve global operations.

[MingTheMerciless]

Count me in - will drop with any fellow Liao for this battle....

Dang, I can't like this post enough, Ork! Now I wants me a 4TCR Starbuck Colonial Warrior jacket.

Well, yes it is! Seems that the Clans forgot to inform me.

Nevertheless give your decks some thought re the Clans.

Yeah... Better do it fast because they will or have change faction flip cooldown from 24hrs to 72hrs.

[Orkdung]

Excellent point sir!

Thank you Shin!

[Rakesch]

See you there.

My 7mpl will burn them down.

I'm here with a contract for Liao! Looking at http://mwomercs.com/tournaments seem we are dead last. Not many representing Liao or more will show up later?

Anyways, I'm working it.

[ShinVector]

Liao's low numbers showing up here apparently.
And I am tagging along with TCAF at the moment.

Liao is far and away the lowest population faction. I'm glad we have the points we do so far. Lots of people on.

[Orkdung]

I know 3 units are running Company+ strength.

We had 2 companies last night.

I can only assume TCAF has 3-4 Companies.

[Maxwell Albritten]

So, here's a fun fact. Apparently if anyone in your unit takes up PGI's offer to switch to clans for the event it kicks your whole unit from Liao whether or not that person has any unit permissions until someone with the permissions logs in and resets it.
