BattleTech Review: The Second Gray Death Trilogy
The Saga of the Gray Death Legion continues with the second Trilogy!
Blood of Heroes by Andrew Keith, July 1993
"Melissa Steiner's assassination ignited the fires of civil war, and now secessionist factions clamor for rebellion against the Federated Commonwealth. The rebels' plans hinge on gaining control of the Skye March, and thus controlling the crucial Terran Corridor. Throughout the March, civil and military leaders plot to take up arms against Prince Victor Steiner-Davion. The final piece of the plan requires the secessionist forces to gain access to the planet Glengarry and the mercenary group that calls it home: the Gray Death Legion.
When Prince Davion summons Grayson Death Carlyle and his wife, Lori Kalmar-Carlyle, to the Federated Commonwealth capital, the rebel forces seize their chance to establish a garrison on Glengarry. The rebels didn't expect the legion's newest members to take matters into their own hands..."
Tactics of Duty by William H. Keith, Jr., August 1995
"Tyranny. Rebellion. War. Treachery, tribulation, and a relentless slide into the bloody jaws of Armageddon! Insurrection sweeps through the fragmenting Federated Commonwealth, pitting Steiner against Davion forces, and civilians against their petty oppressors. On Caledonia, it's no different-except that the mercenary Gray Death Legion is caught in the middle of it all.
Alex Carlyle, haunted by the gruesome specter of war, and Davis McCall, a veteran legionnaire and native Caledonian, unexpectedly find themselves key players in a popular revolt against a cruel and despised Davion-backed governor. When the Gray Death Legion is called upon to put down this very rebellion, they all find themselves pawns in a deadly game of manipulation and betrayal. But Grayson Carlyle, tactician supreme and founder of the Legion, is bound by the highest duty-to protect civilization from self-destruction no matter what the odds or price...."
Operation Excalibur by William H. Keith, Jr., August 1998
"The mercenary code was broken by the Gray Death Legion during their desperate fighting on the planet Caledonia. At least, that is the ruling of the courts. And the judges decide to hit below the belt-Grayson Carlyle, revered leader of the now outlawed mercenary band, is stripped of his title and holdings, and the legion is banished from Glengarry, the planet they've called home for years.
All seems lost, but Carlyle and his legendary troop of hardened warriors know they've been set up-and they have a trump card yet to play. Their dangerous scheme just might work, with the help of House Steiner-and enough guts and firepower to restore the name and the might Gray Death Legion to its rightful place of honor. But should they fail, they could lose a great deal more than their reputation..."

    Severely underrated machines. Fun fact! The first two generations' artwork was first-draft concept sketches the publisher decided to just send out. The reason they look so much more biological than BattleMechs is because they weren't supposed to; the artist decided to start with an inspiration as a base and then make it look more mechanical from there, and then just never got the chance to make it better.

    Everyone loves the Mechs and with good reason, they are big, stompy and undeniably cool. But anyone who really knows, knows that space power is the real power in a space faring civilization and Warships are the real masters of this void. The universe wants to delude itself into thinking that their time is done and that they are expensive and unneeded and yet they are wrong, Warships can and have changed the course of entire wars and their presence alone ensures or denies entire invasions and only other warships allow others to fight them effectively. The Pocket Warship is nothing more than a stepping stone to recreating the mighty battle fleets that once controlled entire sectors and when they return in the proper numbers, they will return to the glory they deserve.

    As someone who collects and played with Aerotech/warships I absolutely love how that portion of the game plays. It's just like BT Classic, where it can go as complex or simple as the players want. For me I like playing near barebones aside from vectors. The fleet I've got right now is a Word of Blake themed one. Including mostly the Star League era styled warships (as I prefer them far more visually to the clan versions) as well as using it as a collection for Warships. So I have at least one of each warship class of ship the Word have known examples of that have a metal model. However I've added an Avatar as well as a Dreadnought due to the fact I enjoy both warship types. It is sad that my favorite era of the setting is the last time nearly everyone has access to more than 2 warhsips.

    An interesting aspect of the development of the Hegemony ships: apart from the first class (the Dreadnought) all other ships were quickly shed of point defenses. Hegemony (and by extension Star League) Warships were more or less ships of differenz sizes bristling with capital weaponry but also rather thin armor (in comparism to the Ships that came during the 2nd Star League). The difference is the doctrine: during the Reunification War SL naval doctrine evolved from "Victory through superior firepower" to more maneuver naval warfare. Which meant that the squadrons were to be supported by Dropships carrying fighter wings (the Titan being the go-to carrier Dropship) as well as most Battleships and Cruisers were now carrying at least 1 fighter wing for self defense. The Enterprise, as you mentioned, was the one time the SL navy tried to fill that gap. After all the SL had no real carrier ships (the Kimagure being an exception and that ship was rare). The Federated Suns and the Combine had dedicated fighter carriers though (the New Syrtis or the Samarkand carriers respectively). In fact the New Syrtis had it's first trial by fire during the Reunification War.

    • @AGS363
      @AGS363 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for this excellent comment! You are completely right with your description. (I was thinking about adding some information about the development, but without giving more specs it feels a bit disjointed and two and a half hours are long enough.) In contrast, the latest Warships (Suffren, Mjolnir, Leviathan III, etc.) are bristling with lighter arms, to protect them against ASF and Dropships. Not to mention that they all have carrying capacity for their own Dropships and (in most cases) ASF wings. A deciding factor was the likely adversaries. The SL used Warships build to destroy other Warships, while Post-Revival the smaller vessels are the main danger.

    • @Athrun82
      @Athrun82 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@AGS363 That and for example in House Liao's case with the Feng Huan cruiser class they put on as much armor as possible because Warships cost a lot of money so better to keep them alive for a long time. In one sourcebook it is likened that even the lightest corvette (Fox for example) costs as much as at least one planet's GDP. And I agree if you would add all that information you would probably end at the 4 or 5 hour mark. The Star League navy was organized differently and the Escort squadrons were basically the carriers: carrying assault and carrier Dropships which in itself carried the fighters needed for point defenses. No need to waste space when you carry all the needed defenses in Dropship form. That and the SL navy was huge. They had the luxury to make so many specialized types of squadrons to begin with. Something neither the Clans nor the IS has the industrial and financial capacity for. Heck the current Snow Ravens are breaking their economy to keep 10 Warships active

    Wait... McKenna was born in 2274, and after 10 years of being a stubborn git to the military, he was promoted to Fleet Admiral in 2295? He was 21 at that time.... Either the historical records of him were written by a mathematically challenged person (i.e. in-lore wise falsified) or child-soldiery was suddenly ok. Also, 10 years to reach fleet-admiral rank?

    Finally! Someone who talks about the strategic lynchpin of BattleTech! My personal favorite WarShip are usually the really fast ones, the Dante-class for example, seconded by McKennas and the like. I like ships which are fast and can play with range or boat missiles like the Cruiser-class

      Good picks. The Dante is an especially beautiful and forward-looking design. A shame that only so few were made.

      Mine is the OG Dreadnaught, starting off as a cudgel of reason to bludgeon Earth into not being dicks anymore. Then at its end pulling a BSG as Amaris's madness begins

      Ditto. I have a soft spot for Frigates in genera but the Dantes are my favorite in Battletech. I'm still annoyed that for some reason Frigates are the only category of warships not to have a Clan created class. For some reason so far at least all Clan Frigates are updated Star League designs. A while back they did a Tech Readout for the Clan Golden Century era and it introduced some new Warships but they were all Corvettes or Destroyers. I've tried to figure it out many times but I still can't understand why Frigates have the fewest classes out of the non-Dreadnought (Which are the Warship equivalent of Super Heavy weight Battlemechs) categories The fact they are larger then Destroyers usuall (Large Destroyers are the same mass as small Frigates0 means there's more tonnage to create unique designs but the number of Destroyer classes dwarfs that of Frigates even if you only count one class from each of the Davion, Lola, and Essex series (both the Davion and the Essex lines have I and II Destroyer classes while the Lola line has I, II and III)

    Very cool Warships and armed dropships are really underrepresented in battletech.
