    The Santiago Carabiniers and their sister regiment, the Pitkin Lancers, were formed during the Reunification War, using BattleMechs and equipment captured from the SLDF 27th Royal Brigade on Haynesville in 2852, and was one of the first two true BattleMech regiments within the Outworlds Alliance Militia; while the 1st Alliance BattleMech Regiment (Light) formed earlier, the 1st Alliance was a provisional organization initially equipped with a mix of BattleMechs and WorkMechs.

    That totally means I can have a Royal Emperor right?

    Not at first no.

    Stayed tuned though, I've got some great story ideas and more will be revealed in the coming weeks. You'll find out even more during the course of the campaign itself. Can't be giving away all my secrets up front!

    Excite.

    Also, Skoll, I thought you hated MegaMek.

    I love MegaMek. I hate not being able to play it with anyone. What gave you the impression I didn't like it?

    Well count me in, regardless. I love Star League era BT and mechs.

    Slowly but surely getting everything together. Got the Vehicle and Infantry lists weeded out and put together. [strike]Trying to find a suitable camo pattern, not much out the for the OAM.[/strike] NVM, found a good one based on Hayden's Jenner repainted in the 1st Alliance Air Wing. I know it's an Aero unit but it's about all that's out there. I'll keep looking and see if I can find anything more fitting.

    Can comb the sourcebooks for one, or just make our own with general colors that they're known to use.

    Their aero units apparently have mech assets because all the units on Camo Specs have mechs in their paintjobs as well.

    Periphery Field Manual confirms this, the Air Wings are basically RCT formations with more focus on Aero but also have Mech and Infantry/Vehicle assets.

    Then I suggest we pick the Aero wing with the snazziest camo.

    I'm partial to the 3rd Alliance Air Wing.

    Edit:

    This is interesting, from Sarna's page on the Reunification War :

    I am incredibly late to the discussion here, but as we had discussed earlier, I am VERY interested in working on developing an OA ReuniWar campaign with you Skwi. Honestly, THIS is the campaign I have always wanted to do, but decided to lead with the 3036/3048 timeline since more people were familiar with that. Now that quite a few cherries have been popped, I'm looking forward to cracking some Spheroid heads.
    Long live the Alliance! :viking:

    Some advice from our experience in the previous campaigns so far:

    -Keep the Admin to player ratio small
    -12 players + 4 reserve players per GM
    -Required minimum should be 4 players per class of character: ex. no more lone Aerspace pilots
    -Separate forces by type and assign a GM for each: Battlemech, Aerospace, Conventional (possible sub-category between VTOLs and tankers)
    -You need one Mission Admin for every 2-3 missions you plan to do each week (depending on availability)
    -The GM can admin for missions, but SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

    If we get a large following, a "GM council" will be required. It will help a lot in reducing the work load (no douchery please).

    Magnus will be co-hosting this event with me and I thank him greatly for his help. He's going to focus on finishing the current leg of the Ronin campaign and then we'll dive into this one with reckless abandon. I've got a good jump on a lot of it but there is still much to do so we're still looking at that 2-4 week time frame before we get rolling. I hope to at least get the character creation squared away so you folks can get working on that while we finish up storyline and mechanics. Thanks for your patience, we should have more for you soon.
