"6mm Battletech - Chaos Irregulars" Topic

Hi there

I am new to Battletech but would like to build a Chaos Irregulars force (and other mercenary units) and would like to know where I would find info as to what Mechs would be needed for what time period. I cant seem find this information… this is probably due to poor computer skills… but help would be much appreciated..

thanks

Yep, you're going to want to stop at the MUL. That said, starting with 3025 era mechs is never a bad idea; refits of these designs serve well up into the 3080's and beyond….

Thanks for the help. I have a paper copy of the unit list and this makes it much easier.

but… is there a document that has specific information on company make up.. so if I wanted to create 2/3 lances for the chaos irregulars I should use 1x 1y 1z..

It may sound odd but is composition fluid? could a lance be comprised of any variant? as long as it fits time period.

Yes, while the Successor States stuck to the Lance/Company/Battalion structure, what was IN each Lance is incredibly fluid. I'm not really familiar with the Chaos Irregulars, but if you want to know *exactly* which mechs they had on a given day, you'll probably need to find a scenario, and even then that will cover that composition for a specific snapshot in time. The other place to look would probably be the book Mercenaries Supplemental Update; you'll get a better idea of what of stuff they might have fielded. But again probably not a complete list.

Thanks Will

I will search the scenario books for some ideas, and try to pick up the mercenary books … Until then the irregulars will be irregular…

The bottom line in Battletech is field the mechs you like to play and invent a reason for why your unit has them later. :)
