If you need any help just ask. {{emoticon|:)}} Good spot on a little know unit, keep up the good work. [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 12:51, 25 June 2016 (PDT) == Wolf Garrison Clusters == So Doneve told me to ask you, what is the proper format for unit clusters in reference to the newly made Garrison Cluster pages. for example he made the [[18th Wolf Garrison (Clan Wolf)]] page but should it not be [[18th Garrison (Clan Wolf)]] to be inline with other clan unit pages? i.e [[5th Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)]], and [[5th Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)]]. I know he is just taking the names right out of the book. However having the extra "Wolf" in the title of the page is odd compared to other clans. : To be honest if you look at the clan forces there isn't really a standard, many Clans have units pages that are constructed both ways. It depended upon which editor made the page originally. I can see both sides of the argument. From a user point of view searching for a cluster I would be more inclined the type in 18th Wolf Garrison in the search bar and with the wolf designation more prominent in the text would get the result I wanted quicker. I wouldn't have to scroll through possible ten or more "18th garrison (Clan X)" clusters or possibly give up thinking the unit was not there. [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 05:14, 26 June 2016 (PDT) ::That's why we set up redirects so we can have both ways :P, My mistake though in thinking there was a standard for how Clan units were suppose to be displayed, I was under the impression that we are to keep them much the same all the way though which is why we added the (Clan XXX) to the articles.--[[User:Deadfire|Deadfire]] ([[User talk:Deadfire|talk]]) 05:22, 26 June 2016 (PDT) :::Yes the redirects are useful for searches, especially when using numerals however there are a lot of redirects being made with text ie Eleventh Battle (Clan Wolf). I honestly don't think anyone will search for a unit by typing in the text of its number. There are multiple clusters across multiple Clans when the Clan name is included in the unit name eg 11th Wolf Regulars (Clan Wolf). I've not noticed any clusters with the (Clan XXX) suffix. There is a lot of work to do if you want uniformity across all Clans though, personally it seems a lot of effort with little gain. To me spending time on the content is far more important. [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 12:33, 26 June 2016 (PDT) ::::I think the typed out unit numerals are for the purpose of links in articles rather than search aids. I could be wrong though.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 16:22, 26 June 2016 (PDT) :::::Yeah, I'd have to agree with Doneve on this, and be sure to keep it consistent whatever you decide. Also redirects are your best friend {{emoticon | :) }} -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 18:50, 26 June 2016 (PDT) ::::::The typed out unit numerals redirects still have (Clan XXX) as a suffix though, so still require editing on a page with an alternate text link. I just think we need to be a little more restrained with link edits and unnecessary pages. Eg 11th Battle (Clan Wolf)|Eleventh Wolf Battle Cluster - as a link does not require a new redirect page to be made, were as Eleventh Battle (Clan Wolf)|Eleventh Wolf Battle Cluster - does. Does that make sense? I fear we'll end up with more redirects than article pages.

There was one called a Snake-Eye, a Nuke-EM (I think) and I believe that the Catapult K2 is also one of theirs. Does anyone have any information on MFG 'Mechs? - [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 18:54, 7 June 2017 (EDT) :Which [[MechForce Germany]] would that have been? I've never been a member, and I only have the complete [[Life Support (magazine)|Life Support]] magazine from the first and some Terra Post magazines from the third incarnation, but none from the second. Also, I'm not aware of any miniatures officially produced for MFG 'Mech designs, and have never heard of the Snake-Eye or Nuke-EM before. Off the top of my head I can only think of the ''[[Linesman]]'' and the ''[[Sidewinder (OmniMech)|Sidewinder]]'', neither of which has a miniature. :The CPLT-2K meanwhile is a standard, canonical ''Catapult'' variant from TRO:3025. Although extremely rare, it seems to be an extremely popular design in Germany and many German supporters of the upcoming HBS game discussed it on the HBS forum, putting this relatively obscure variant into the spotlight way more than it actually deserves from an in-universe viewpoint. The discussion turned out that the -K2, although mentioned in TRO:3025, was supposedly only produced from 3033 onwards according to the MUL which caused an outcry among the fans on the forum. Turns out CGL, after intense factchecking, had determined that available sources imply the -K2 variant had been completely extinct for a time until production resumed in the 3030s. Because of its populartiy, Todd "Sigil" Marshal put the German version into his ''[[Technical Readout: 3028]]'' as a different (if non-canonical) 'Mech. Fan research and lobbying later led to the MUL entry for the -K2 being corrected and its intro date changed. While this whole episode was apparently driven primarily by German fans, ultimately, the CPLT-K2 is a canonical variant. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 06:15, 8 June 2017 (EDT) :: I really liked the K2 variant as well, that's why I bought the figure. I got these in about 1999/2000 so not sure if it was the last of MFG2 or the start of MFG3. I had to order them from the MFG website at the time. The Snake-Eye was not a great casting, poorly defined on the main body in my opinion. It had legs in the style of a Mad Cat but not a direct copy of the part. The small weapon pods for arms looked like the PPC housings at the end of a Marauders arm. I think it was a light 'Mech, perhaps 35tons. The Nuke-Em has a definite JagerMech feel to it, but is topped with the radar dish from the Rifleman IIc - so pretty ugly! lol. I never used this 'Mech it was a real piece of Fanon with nuclear armed weaponry (hence the name). I just bought it for the "wierd" value. The K2 basically had Warhammer PPCs turned upside-down in place of the missile pods. Unfortunately I appear to have lost the download of their record sheets over the years. I have the sheets for the Sidewinder and the Lineman, they were published in MFUK Record Book 14. -- [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 13:40, 8 June 2017 (EDT) == Request Removal/Separation of [[Capellan Reserves]] from [[Capellan Defense Force]] == Hello. I looked at FM: Capellan Confederation and there is a clear conflict between p. 75 and p. 76. Page 75 says the CDF were the Capellan Reserves renamed after the 4th SW while Page 76 says it was made in 3060. I am going to go with Page 76 as there is no CDF in the 20 Year Update book or Historical:Brush War. Who do I talk to remove the Capellan Reserves stuff? Do I do it myself? [[User:Henryjones000|Henryjones000]] ([[User talk:Henryjones000|talk]]) 00:49, 17 June 2017 (EDT) : Hi, My reading of those pages is that the Capellan Reserves as a whole were renamed the Capellan Defense Force after the 4th SW, but FM:CC does not give a date. However, it appears to have taken place several decades after the 4th SW as they are still listed as the Capellan Reserves and Stapleton's Grenadiers in Brush Wars page 88 (3030), 20 Year Update page 63 (3050), Objective Raids page 41 (3054). Certainly the CDF as the parent formation existed in 3057, with the individual regiments still retaining their names until 3060 when further reorganisation seems to have taken place under ''Xin Sheng''. Chaos March source book page 13 still lists Stapleton's Grenadiers in 3057 as well. :As for removal, it is Sarna policy to merge articles for units that change their name to the latest in game time-line name. These name changes should be clearly documented within the History text of the unit, and redirects set from the original name page. Here are some examples of this [[6th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)]], [[24th Scorpion Cuirassiers (Escorpión Imperio)]], [[331st Battle (Clan Wolverine)]]. Hope that helps {{emoticon|:)}} - [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 06:34, 17 June 2017 (EDT) ::Can you cite where the 3057 existence came from? If it is from that section in page 75 then it is suspect in my eyes. Page 76 clearly states that Stapleton's Grenadiers were renamed and reassigned to the CDF in 3060. [[User:Henryjones000|Henryjones000]] ([[User talk:Henryjones000|talk]]) 09:06, 17 June 2017 (EDT) ::: The Capellan Reserves were renamed the Capellan Defense Force by 3057 that is from FM:CC page 75. "The Defence Force did poorly in the Liao-Marik offensive of 3057..." is a clear indication that the name change had already happened for the parent organisation by that date. Stapleton's Grenadiers were renamed the 1st Capellan Defense Force in 3060 that is FM:CC page 76. The Grenadiers were still using that name in 3057 referenced in FM:CC page 76 and Chaos March page 13. I seems to me the military reform took a few years, with first the main formation being renamed before the individual regiments. - [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 09:25, 17 June 2017 (EDT) :::: I disagree. "As Sun Tzu Liao's Xin Sheng decree penetrated the military, the Grenadiers received a new name and '''a new lease on life as the first regiment of the Capellan Defense Force'''." It seems clear from this statement that the Grenadiers were reassigned to the CDF AFTER 3057, in 3060. This is supported by the fact that the 2nd CDF was created in 3060 as well. It is far more logical to accept that the CDF was formed in 3060 as a response to Xin Sheng. Creating the Capellan Defense Force with two regiments in it at the same time certainly makes more sense than renaming the Capellan Reserves then wait a few YEARS to rename the lone unit. :::: In my opinion the section in page 75 is a mistake. The fact that it contradicts 3 different books makes the whole section suspect.[[User:Henryjones000|Henryjones000]] ([[User talk:Henryjones000|talk]]) 10:34, 17 June 2017 (EDT) ::::: The Grenadiers are not reassigned to the CDF, the Capellan Reserves are simply renamed the CDF - it is just a name change. Same as the Grenadiers are just renamed the 1st CDF regiment in 3060. The parent organisation and component regiments are two separate levels of formation that appear to have a name change at separate times. There are real life examples of Formations being renamed and then the component regiments/battalions changed later. I don't see page 75 of FM:CC as contradicting anything, but what other books do you think it contradicts? The "new lease of life" mentioned for the Grenadiers is that they finally received new equipment that had been withheld for years. I'm sure a slightly ambiguous bit of writing in the page text could explain/gloss it over. But if you want a full explanation it might be a good idea to ask the writers in the BT forums. - [[User:Dark Jaguar|Dark Jaguar]] ([[User talk:Dark Jaguar|talk]]) 11:05, 17 June 2017 (EDT) :::::: I've been reading through FM:CC, and the text is somewhat ambiguous - I'd prefer to see an official Ask The Writer ruling for it - but it's not necessarily in conflict with itself. The Capellan Defense Force was the precursor to the CCAF (p. 9) and didn't become the CCAF until Warex Liao's reforms during the Star League era (p. 10) so there's already a need for a clarifying article explaining what the original CDF was. :::::: Page 75 is explicit that the Capellan Defense Force name was reinvoked in the aftermath of the Fourth Succession War, but it refers to the "Capellan reserve regiments" being renamed, not the "Capellan Reserve" or "Capellan Reserves". The text under the New Sagan Armor Auxiliary (p. 76) indicates that the armoured regiment performed well in the St. Ives Conflict - something mentioned more generally about the performance of the Capellan Defense Force on page 75. The text on the Second Capellan Defense Force on page 77 specifies that it was "raised in separate pieces, expanding several Home Guard units to include a battalion of MechWarriors each. In 3060 these units were pulled together and trained as a Defense Force regiment." It also notes that the 121st Urban Defense Detachment is one of the "rare Home Guard units to be sent into frontline combat" - which indicates that other Home Guard units have also been exposed to frontline combat. :::::: TPTB have been explicit in stating that Force Listings and tables generally only show BattleMech regiments because those are what's significant, and we know from various sources that there are a lot of conventional forces out there on planets and within the militaries that aren't important enough to merit listing in things like Field Reports and Field Manuals. The entries mentioned above indicate that Home Guard formations - which implicitly didn't have 'Mech forces prior to them being assigned to them - were being expanded to generate forces, and that Home Guard forces fought during both the conflicts in question. :::::: My thoughts on this are that the Capellan reserves were renamed to the Capellan Defense Force prior to 3060, but that the forces renamed were conventional forces - including Home Guard forces - which is why they don't appear in any of the force listings. The Capellan Defense Force became a notable formation when it incorporated significant 'Mech forces, in the form of the front-line Grenadiers, as well as the mustering of the Second CDF, which incorporated Home Guard formations. The Capellan Defense Force could then have existed prior to 3060 as a conventional unit formation, before becoming a significant brigade when the Grenadiers became the First CDF Regiment in 3060 and the Second CDF Regiment was formed. I know that this interpretation hinges in large part on the distinction between reserves and Reserves, but it seems to me that the two brigades/formations were running in parallel up until 3060, and the CDF simply wasn't significant enough to be listed anywhere because it was conventional forces only (or conventional with minimal 'Mech forces, in keeping with all those Clan Invasion-era militias that showed up in the Clan Wolf/Clan Jade Falcon/Invading Clans books when they were getting stomped, but which had never appeared before).
