I'll have something formal whipped up after I get off work tomorrow.

Changing this to "It'll be done when it gets done."

And knowing Hayden, it'll probably be epic.

Just like the entire 3rd Amphigean LAG!

if you guys fully intend on going mainly light/med's i feel sorry for yall if they impliment Arrow IV's/LongTom Cannons :x

[Kybaliom]

We'll adapt, don't worry. We'll also have heavy artillery, so basically it evens out.

Why? We'll use that system as much as anyone else will.

If you use a Atlas ect. ,doesn´t mean you are invincible.(How many shoots can take your rear amor?)
The Arrow IV / LongTom Cannons needs only a few second´s to rip apart every Mech (even it´s an asault ).
So isn´t it more intelligent to sit in a light and faster Mech and get your *** out of shooting range or to a cover?
Besides our Unit uses light, medium, some havy and almost uncommen asault Mechs.
Why....because speedy ,maneuvrerable mechs give us a better cance to stay alive.
Maybe you could discribe us as an wolfpack hunting,

Not many lights will fit that longtom, and no light/medium i know of in the game will fit a arrow, also if your attacking an atlas he wont be alone (PS i fully intend on playing a Catapult, so dont throw men in as a "Atlas Zerger")
Edit: Its more of the fact in a light mech if you get pinned by a longtom/2arrows your almost out of the game the'll so do so much to you.

Aside from the MW4 debacle, long toms have not made appearances in any other MW games. And while it is conceivable that a long tom could be placed on a custom 'mech (per the TT build rules) the largest artillery piece mounted on a canonical (ha!) 'mech that I am aware of is the Sniper on the HEP-2H Helepolis*. The Sniper is one that could reasonably appear, since it only takes up 10 criticals (thus it could be carried by say a Catapult, Jagermech, or Atlas). Otherwise the Long Tom and Thumper are too large to be carried on any one component. But then, so is the Arrow IV. I doubt we'll see any artillery, at least at first.

*Note that the Helepolis is a dated Terran Hegemony design that did not survive the Succession Wars.

Arrow IV, C3 slaves, narc... are real treat for a mechwarrior so use ECM etc to counter it.
It dosen´t matter if you have long tom ect. on your side when you can´t hit.
So:
Know your enemy, know the battlefield and use this knowledge to defeat your opponents.

Well you can manual hit someone with a longtom, the only way you can counter that is with LAM's

This discussion about long tom and artillery makes me head hurt. One, they aren't in MW:O, two, even should they be they're not going to be some instant win versus mechs, and three.....why the heck does it matter? This isn't the thread for it.


If you're looking for a good unit, look to the 3rd LAG! Hayden and crew are great, and we can't wait to play with/against them!

Just a heads up, all.

The 3rd Amphigean LAG is being reorganized into the St. Ives Expeditionary Group.

The address will still be the same, but the rest will be different.

Thanks to the DC community for having us around before the reorganization.

[Balls of Steele]

St. Ives lives! We look forward to meeting the Respected Enemy on the field of battle!

[Lord Ikka]

Glad to have Hayden and his boys side-by-side with us no matter the name!
