The Chain Gang forces struck all along the Commonwealth-Combine border, hitting almost two dozen worlds between [[Rigil Kentarus]] and [[New Caledonia]]. Rarely more than a company of force, and in some cases a lance or two, most inflicted little damage, and even planetary militias were able to fend them off. Reflecting the extreme diversity in their number, the effectiveness of the Chain Gangs varied greatly. Most of the attackers simply surrendered at the first sign of opposition, hoping for mercy. During the attacks on [[Altenmarkt]] and [[Vega]], the troops even revolted against their nominal officers before surrendering. However a great number, with their passions inflamed by extremely large doses of battle stimulants such as [[ChemCourage]], struck their targets as planned. Most of these were easily dispatched by the Steiner and Davion defenders thanks to their inexperience and inferior quality equipment, but some actually succeeded in destroying significant infrastructure and resources, sending reconstruction efforts in both the Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns into disarray.<ref name=HKTDC-64/><ref name=HKTDC-63s/><ref name=HSTLC-55/><ref name=HHS-39/><ref name=HDTFS-68/><ref name=HHD-55/><ref name=HHKp46/><ref>''Second Succession War'', pp. 20–21</ref> The Chain Gang forces struck all along the Commonwealth-Combine border, hitting almost two dozen worlds between [[Rigil Kentarus]] and [[New Caledonia]].
