−	Throughout their history, St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers suffered repeated runs of bad luck. Formed in [[2952]], the unit was reduced to 10 percent of their original strength during the "[[Great Lee Turkey Shoot]]" in the same year. The remaining members of the unit raised more troops and went back on the front lines in [[2985]], only to receive a thrashing at the hands of [[House Davion]] on the world of [[Fletcher (CC)|Fletcher]] — a disaster they later redeemed on the world of [[Thomas]] in [[3011]]. Having reappraised the Grenadiers’ capabilities, [[Pavel Ridzik]] used them as part of the raiding force that captured the planet [[Redfield]], but in the [[Fourth Succession War]], the unit didn't see any action. After the war, the Grenadiers went from world to world, struggling to find the lucky break that would get them a little higher on the Department of Procurement's resupply list.	+	Throughout their history, St. Cyr’s Grenadiers suffered repeated runs of bad luck.

After the war the Grenadiers went from world to world, struggling for the lucky break that would get them a little higher on the Department of Procurement's resupply list.
−	Considered an inexperienced unit, St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers were one of four chosen by [[Chancellor]] [[Romano Liao]] for an invasion of the minor border world of [[Kujari]] in [[3033]]. The Grenadiers deployed alongside [[McCrimmon's Light Cavalry]], Rivaldi's Hussars, and [[Steele's Eagles]]; each of the mercenary units were a battalion in size, and Romano elected to deploy an all-mercenary force to avoid damaging any of her regular [[CCAF]] units. Unfortunately for the Grenadiers, Romano's invasion force would face the [[Black Widow Battalion]] led by [[Natasha Kerensky]]. Acting under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Donovan Steele]] of Steele's Eagles, the Grenadiers were part of a bold, aggressive plan that was largely predicted by Kerensky from the outset. Despite a contested landing, the four commands managed to link up, but couldn't bring their numbers to bear against the Black Widows, and the campaign finished in defeat when Kerensky deceived many of the mercenaries into believing that her forces had left the planet, only to then launch a decapitation raid against the Eagles. Kerensky prevailed over Colonel Steele in a duel and called on him to surrender; Steele not only surrendered, he also led his unit to defect to the [[Federated Commonwealth]] rather than face a vengeful Romano Liao.<ref name="MTotBWp17+">''More Tales of the Black Widow'', pp. 17–19</ref>	+	Rivaldi’s Hussars were raised on [[Florence]] in [[2985]]. Once called “the sorriest band of idiots this side of [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]]” by the commanding officer of the [[Red Lancers]], the Hussars have suffered from poor coordination, poor supply and poor leadership, relegating them to garrison duty on various backwater worlds. Their sole battle honors came in 2988, defending [[Palladaine]], and 3031, both times against the [[Defenders of Andurien]]. This combat record earned the unit contempt from more senior regiments. Like the Grenadiers the Hussars saw no action in the [[Fourth Succession War]].

−	Rivaldi's Hussars were raised on [[Florence]] in [[2985]]. Once called “the sorriest band of idiots this side of [[Marshigama's Legionnaires]]” by the commanding officer of the [[Red Lancers]], the Hussars have suffered from poor coordination, poor supply, and poor leadership, relegating them to garrison duty on various backwater worlds. Their sole battle honors came in 2988 defending [[Palladaine]] and again in 3031, both times against the [[Defenders of Andurien]]. This combat record earned the unit contempt from more senior regiments. Like the Grenadiers, the Hussars saw no action in the [[Fourth Succession War]].
	Things began to change in [[3061]]. [[Sun-Tzu Liao]]’s offer of Capellan sponsorship came at a time when Colonel Frieze Rivaldi was looking to retire from active duty but trusted no one enough to take over his unit. In a deal worked out with Major Andrew St. Cyr, the Grenadiers and Hussars merged and accepted sponsorship. Rivaldi then retired, knowing his old command was in good hands. Major St. Cyr tore into the Hussars’ officer corps—forcing retirement on a few he believed undeserving of their rank, promoting others and mingling the two commands to the betterment of both.

−	Sitting out of the fighting over several years has been detrimental to Armored Hussars. The [[FedCom Civil War]] changed them of any chance to fight against [[House Davion]], and as the Sian Commonality held so well against the [[Free Worlds League]], there was no enemy to fight. Requests for rotation were repeatedly denied until the unit finally moved of its own accord to the League border. The Nightriders caught up with them at [[Kasdach]] and convinced the unit to turn around.	+	Sitting out the fighting over few years has been detrimental to Armored Hussars.
