==History==
 
==History==
The '''Eleventh Wolf Guards''' was a [[Cluster]] in the [[Clan Wolf Touman|Clan Wolf ''touman'']]. It was one of the first Clan Clusters created and since then has had an ever increasing tally of victories and glory in battle.  No one is sure if this history, or a tradition within the unit, has led to the Cluster's reputation of being almost comically arrogant and having a sense of self-importance.  But the other members of Clan Wolf's ''touman'' find the Cluster's antics entertaining.<ref name=WCS100>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 100, "Notes"</ref>

They later invaded [[Radstadt]] along with the [[Red Keshik]] and the rest of Delta Galaxy. The Guards faced the heavy [['Mech]]s of the [[4th Drakøns|Fourth Drakøns]] early in the fighting and were stopped by the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] unit. Supporting [[Elemental]] forces were able to get behind the Rasalhague defenders and caused them to withdraw. The cluster continued its advance towards Radstadt's capital, surviving several ambushes by the defenders.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 38</ref> The Eleventh managed to skirt the Fourth's flanks and won the battle.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 39</ref>

In November [[3051]] the Eleventh landed on [[Vorarlburg]] and quickly took the planet from the world's defenders.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 65</ref> Four months later they invaded [[Carse]]. They grounded on the southern continent, which allowed the [[2nd Freemen|Second Freemen]] to identify the Clan units before they faced the Wolves. The Freemen fought well, but ultimately had to withdraw.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 69</ref>

During the Widowmaker Absorption, the Eleventh's light and medium 'Mechs could be chosen from the appropriate RAT. They rolled normally for heavy 'Mechs, but cannot deploy assault class 'Mechs. In addition, each pilot (PC or NPC) in the Eleventh has one point of Edge they can use to reroll a piloting skill roll or weapon attack roll. This roll can only happen once per game.<ref name="otpwa13"/>
