An official ruling thus states that Clan DropShips mentioned in earlier sources including namely the ''Luthien'' scenario pack can be assumed to have been of their Clan equivalent classes instead (see ''[[Luthien (scenario pack)#Notes]]'').<br />That said, the ''Midway'' features in a scenario where it would upset or at least significantly alter the balance of the opposing forces to change it from a ''Leopard'' into a ''Broadsword''. It is conceivable that the Clans could have captured ''Leopard''-class vessels from the Inner Sphere prior to [[3052]], and deployed such captured vessels in the Battle of Luthien. + *''Leopard''-class vessels are unusual among the Clans because they can only carry four [[BattleMech]]s and do not fit well into the Clans' five-based unit structure. It is conceivable though that the Clans may have captured ''Leopard''-class vessels from the Inner Sphere prior to [[3052]], and deployed such captured vessels in the Battle of Luthien. ==References== ==References== Line 20:
