*6th Bejamin, and 40th Dieron have been added for guidelines, and all units now show a recommended mechwarrior skill level.
When generating your core force Lance for each game, use the random assignment tables recommended in Jihad Turning Points: Luthien. I have presented some guides below so you can narrow the unit selection down a little. Firestorm Markers that require random generating can use the same method.
Izanagi Warriors/Otomo (Loyalist) Firestorm Marker Only
Sorenson's Sabres (Loyalist) Firestorm Marker Only
Both the Otomo/Sorenson's Sabres and Izanagi have a large supply of Clan Tech. If a player chooses he may use an Inner Sphere mech design with mixed tech, or they may swap the mech for a Clan Mech design of one lower weight rating then the unit it replaces. ie; An Inner Sphere heavy mech being swaped out for a clan design would be chosen from the medium weight catagory of either the Ghost Bear, Nova Cat or Smoke Jaguar Assignment tables, and probably front line grade units. Their pilots use the Elite/Veteran rating.
1st Genyosha (Loyalist) Core Force
The Genyosha are a heavy unit. A core force Lance from the 1st Genyosha should contain 1 Assault Mech, 2 Heavy Mechs and a single Medium mech as an average. Because of their high perportion of Omni units, at least 2 of the Lance members should be in an Omni-mech. This unit uses many House Davion designs as a show of cooperation between the two nations, so at least one mech should be generated from the Davion chart. A single mech in the Lance can use mixed tech, or a single mech may be swaped for a clan design of equal weight class or lower. Use the Smoke Jaguar, Blood Spirit, Ghost Bear or Nova Cat assignment tables for the clan design. Their pilots use the Elite/Veteran rating.
14th Sun Zhang Cadre (Loyalist) Firestorm Marker Only
The 14th is still recovering from a hard losing fight with Clan Ghost Bear during the last war. The units equipment should be represented with Modern Medium Inner Sphere designs, and only trace clan tech. Because these pilots are cadets and young warriors, this unit uses the Green rating.
2nd Sword of Light (Rebel) Core Force, (Loyalist Firestorm Marker)
A core force Lance from the 2nd sword of light should contain 1 Assault Mech, 2 Heavy Mechs and a single Medium mech as an average. Because of their high perportion of Omni units, at least 2 of the Lance members should be in an Omni-mech. Clan tech should only be present on a single machine within the Lance. Most machines should be current front line gear. Their pilots use the Elite/Veteran rating.
Sathan's Snipers (Rebel) Firestorm Marker Only
The Snipers prefer quicker medium weight mechs to more bulky units. Try to stick with units generated from the Mercenary and Periphery charts. They also have an affinity for direct fire weapons that do heavy damage at range, hense their units name. Also note, this unit has no omni-mechs, no clan tech and very little current battlefield equipment. Use 3025-3055 designs when generating this unit. Pilots use the Veteran rating.
6th Benjamin Regulars (Rebel) Firestorm Marker Only
The 6th has very few omni-mechs, and very little clan tech. The unit also is less then 50% upgraded with the most modern Inner Sphere technology. Units should be generated from 3050-3058 technology, and usually medium class mechs. Their pilots use the Regular rating.
40th Dieron Regulars (Rebel) Firestorm Marker Only
The 40th has very few omni-mechs, and very little clan tech. The unit also is less then 50% upgraded with the most modern Inner Sphere technology. Units should be generated from 3050-3058 technology, and usually medium class mechs. Their pilots use the Veteran rating.
Word of Blake 9th Division Core Force
The Word of Blake units use a combined arms approach right down to their basic core formation. This force will deviate from the Lance size as a minimum unit for a core, as a Blakist formation is 6 units known as a Level II.
When building a Level II, it should have at least 1 infantry element (Battle Armour Platoon or Mechanised Infantry Platoon), 1 Conventional Armoured element (MBTs or Armoured Combat Vehicles), 1 Support unit (Artillery or VTOL unit) and 3 mechs of various sizes, but should remain 2 medium mechs and a single heavy mech in perportion. Any Medium mech may be swaped for a light mech. You may choose to swap the Heavy mech for an Assault mech.
The 9th has no Clan Tech and no Omni-mechs, but is fully equipped with the most modern Inner Sphere units. Their pilots use the Veteran rating.
ROM Light of Mankind: Epsilon Element (Firestorm Marker Only)
A Level II all mech formation. These units should have no Clan Tech, or Omni-mechs, but are 100% Modern Inner Sphere Designs. Their pilots use the Elite rating.
Word of Blake 9th Division Reinforcements 3068-3069 (Firestorm Marker Only)
The 9th has no Clan Tech and no Omni-mechs, but is fully equipped with the most modern Inner Sphere units. Their pilots use the Veteran rating.
