As was traditional with the Liao Lancers, approximately one third of their force consisted of citizens of their name world, in this case [[Old Kentucky]]. The Eighth was the first of the new Liao Lancer units commissioned after the repeal of the [[Council Edict of 2650]]. There is some evidence that the Eighth was created by promoting a Home Guard unit from Old Kentucky to the Lancers brigade.<ref name=FR:2765CCAFp12/> The Eighth was the [[CCAF]]'s best jungle-warfare unit. The Eighth consisted of two battalions of 'Mechs while their third battalion was a company of engineering vehicles and two companies of combat engineering infantry, supported by an artillery company. The Dancing Caimans battalion possessed the standard BattleMech complement, but each company also had a lance of engineering [[IndustrialMech]]s attached to it. These IndustrialMechs were used to create and destroy field positions, as on [[Ryerson]] in the [[Third Andurien War]] when they destroyed the Wind River Dam.<ref name="ER:2750"/>+ {{sectionstub}} − In [[2765]] they were stationed on their namesake world.<ref name=FR:2765CCAFp12/> The Eighth were destroyed during the [[First Succession War]].<ref name="FSWp136"/> ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable" + {{sectionstub}} − |-+ − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 8th Liao Lancers''' − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − Unknown.+ {{sectionstub}} + ==Composition History== ==Composition History== − − ===2750=== − '''Eighth "Old Kentucky" Lancers''' (2 [[Battalion]]s)<ref name=ER:2750/> − * First Battalion "Rapscallon's Revenge" - Equipped as a medium 'Mech battalion based on the [[SLDF]] Light Horse Regiment.<ref name=ER:2750/> − * Second Battalion "Dancing Caimans" − − '''Ninth Hyacinth Fighter Wing'''([[Wing (Formation)|Wing]])<ref name=ER:2750/> − ===2765=== ===2765=== − '''Eighth "Old Kentucky" Lancers''' (Regiment/Veteran/Reliable)<ref name=FR:2765CCAFp12/> + '''8th “Old Kentucky” Lancers''' (Regiment/Veteeran/Reliable) <ref name=fr2765ccafp>''Field Report 2765: Capellan Confederation'' p.12 </ref> − :Note: At this point in time the regiment was stationed on [[Old Kentucky]].<ref name=FR:2765CCAFp12/> − − === 2786 === − '''Eighth Liao Lancers''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War'', p. 136: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces (CCAF)"</ref> − :- At this point in time the Eighth was a medium-weight regiment operating at full strength and was stationed on [[Wazan]].<ref name="FSWp136"/> The unit was destroyed during the war.<ref name="FSWp136"/> + ==Rules== <div class="gamerules"> <div class="gamerules"> + ===Game Rules=== − ==Game Rules== − In the Star League Era, the Eighth has a large number of combat engineers.
