If you could use Urbanmechs, You would, wouldn't you?

[Wolv e]

We tried the 3 light mechs, and found it turned into a 2 vs 2 before the 3 lights could engage in most cases.....

[Der Zivilist]

If you read the OP, he stipulates that you can pick any IS 'Mech.

As in, BattleMech. not infantry.

As for me... four UM-R60L UrbanMech. Can't go wrong with a quad of AC/20's in a confined arena setting

[shadowhawk102]

most tanks and other aero and infantry pale compaired to a mech, why drive the pinto when you can have a bmw

yea, two ostroc or 2 Lancelot LNC25-02

No worries just having fun here. We did this in Germany for the Battletech convention in Cologne....120 tons IS mechs only. Just wanted to see what ppl would come up with. Jump Jets are essential on at least 1 mech. I almost went Victor/Jenner, but the Battlemaster had more armor and those 6 med lasers really made the difference back then

[BenEEeees VAT GROWN BACON]

2 Bushwackers and 10 tons of victory cake made from bacon.

[3rdworld]

Pillager (100 Tons)
Mercury (20 Tons)

Pillager because Pillager > Atlas

Mercury because it caries Medium lasers instead of the other junk many of the 20t mechs carried at that time.

[Markocius]

2 Hatchetmen and 30 Tons of something fast and laser boated

hmm not sure I would even consider the pillager as it's main weapon is 2X gauss rifle, unless you are thinking of a variant?

Armament
The PLG-3Z Pillager is built using a lightweight Vlar 300 XL Engine, which weighs half as much as a standard fusion engine and gives the Pillager a top speed of 54 km/h. The small mass of the engine allows the 'Mech to mount an obscene array of weapons. The 'Mech's mobility is enhanced with three HildCo Model 13 jump jets that allow it to jump up to ninety meters. The Pillager has excellent armor protection at nineteen and a half tons and has fourteen double heat sinks that provide more than enough heat dissipation capability for the Pillager's needs.
The primary weapons on the Pillager are a pair of Poland Main Model A Gauss Rifles, which allow the Pillager to engage an enemy at up to six hundred and sixty meters. The Gauss Rifles are supported at intermediate ranges by a Defiance B3L Large Laser. For close range combat, the Pillager has four Ceres Arms Medium Lasers that provide a devastating close range barrage.

Introduced 2575


The largest BattleMech ever built by HildCo Interplanetary, the Pillager is built as a larger version of the Victor, and is intended for assaulting urban centers and hardened fortifications. These design parameters were paramount as the SLDF mobilized to wage the Reunification War. Later Pillagers were upgraded with more cutting-edge Star League technology, which ultimate spelled their doom on the Succession War battlefield. Production of the Pillager halted not because it's facility was destroyed, but the advanced Gauss Rifle and XL Engine production lines had been obliterated by the end of the Second Succession War. Curiously, Hildco did not restart production of the original PLG-1N, rather the Pillager lines only began production again in 3058 when advanced components were once again available for the PLG-3Z
