==Description==
Brawlers are line units, typically assigned to battle lances, and are considered to have less mobility than some other combatants, such as [[Skirmisher]]s. However, they compensate for this with some long-range weaponry and more or heavier armor. Most often assigned to assault missions, they also serve to protect the slower [[Juggernaut (unit role)|Juggernaut]]s.<ref name=CBTIR/><ref name=ASCp134/><ref name=COp57/>

Considered poor performers in mobile or long-term battle scenarios, they do well in defensive roles or assaults on geographic locations, such as fortresses. Their escort role for Juggernauts can be reversed, with good effect upon similar enemy 'Mechs, especially when paired up with one or two other Brawlers. They are also effective at forcing [[Sniper (unit role)|Sniper]]s and [[Missile boat]]s from stationary positions and for holding the line against a charging enemy.<ref name=CBTIR/><ref name=COp57/>
