History[edit]
First Succession War[edit]
The Thirty-second Dieron Regulars were one of twenty-six regiments of Dieron Regulars to be created by the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery after 2765.[1] The Dieron Regulars expanded by ten regiments during the Amaris Civil War,[2] and a further twenty-one regiments were raised between the end of the Civil War and the end of the First Succession War. Of the latter twenty-one regiments, eight were formed by recruiting Star League Defense Force personnel and units; the remainder - including the Thirty-second - were recruited more conventionally.[1]
The Thirty-second Dieron Regulars was defending Sakhalin[when?] when the Fifteenth Lyran Guards arrived to recapture from the DCMS. The Fifteenth found the planet defended by the Thirty-second. The Fifteenth, which was composed mainly of Zeus Battlemechs and a few Commandos, went direclty to capture a high ridge overlooking two large forests and a grassy plain beyond. The Thirty-second failed to storm the Fifteenth and when some Commandos tried to flank them moved themselves to spend the night in the plain. At nightfall, a heavy rain began making visibility very low. This was used by the Fifteenth to move silently down from the ridge and prepare an ambush to the kurita forces. At sunrise the surprised Dieron Regulars charged the LCAF forces. The weight of their 'Mechs, BattleMasters and Dragons mostly turned the grassland into mud, which made advance difficult and spread out the formation. At this time the LCAF defenders started to fire against the atacking forces which had limited firing archs, and then unleashed the SRMs from the Commandos to devastate the attackers, who routed after lossing eight BattleMasters and five Dragon's for a Zeus and three Commandos from the LCAF.[3][4]
