History
The First Avalon Hussars was formed in 2317 alongside the Federated Suns. By 2750 the First Avalon Hussars had the honor of being the longest continually serving unit in the AFFS. They spent most of their deployment in the Draconis March fighting the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery. In the War of Davion Succession the First fought on Marduk, commanded by First Prince Joseph Davion. They were unable to prevent the Prince's death, but their skills and tenacity allowed them to cover all friendly units as the AFFS withdrew from the world. They then fought for four years, slowly being ground down by the DCMS. In 2729 the First Avalon Hussars faced the 4th Sword of Light on Fallon II.[1] After withdrawing from the conflict and rebuilding, they were the first unit to land on Marduk to avenge their Prince's death. After the SLDF intervened and forced the DCMS back to its borders, the First was assigned to garrison Marduk.[2]
The First Avalon Hussars were reactivated during the Jihad as an Light Combat Team drawing elements of the 17th Avalon Hussars. In 3079 they were stationed on Lee as that world's garrison. The Avalon Hussars commander, Marshal Roger William Waters, pushed the unit through its training process and quickly brought the unit back to the level of experience it once boasted.[3]
Between 3081 and 3085 the First Avalon Hussars LCT participated in more than a dozen combat operations. This verified both their combat readiness and the Light Combat Team concept.[4]
Officers
As of 3085, the commanding officer was Leftenant General Angel Waters.[5]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Major General Jack Tallman.[6]

Game Rules
During Reunification War scenarios, the Avalon Hussars may employ the following tactics. When attacking, they can either reduce the number of enemy hidden units by 50% or may deploy 50% of their forces in the first half of the map representing the Hussars starting (home) edge. When the defender, they can either put 25% of their units as hidden units anywhere on their half of the board, or they may deploy twice the the normal number of conventional minefields AND if using artillery they can pre-designate twice as many hexes as normal. The controlling player must choose which ability will be used BEFORE choosing any combat units.[8]
