Talk:1st Thorin Regiment
Since they're the same unit, I propose that this article be merged into Thorin FTM. --Scaletail 18:09, 4 March 2009 (PST)
- IIRC (hard to check at work) Field Manual: Updates list them as the Thorin FTM again too. Cyc 19:46, 4 March 2009 (PST)
- The 1st Thorin consists of the original Thorin FTM and various other rebells. Later "Archer's Avengers" spread to two further regiments: the Muphrid-Rangers and the Minutemen.
- From what I have heard in a forum, The Muphrid-Rangers and the Minutemen stayed on Twycross after the CJF-incursion, while the 1st Thorin flew back to aid Victor. The Muphrid-Rangers and the Minutemen were destroyed by Clan Diamond Shark when it took over Twycross. The 1st Thorin went back to it's original role of defending Thorin.
- Maybe it was renamed to Thorin FTM in that process.
- I would keep these two units seperate (at least for now) because I think, it would add additional confusion as long as the articles are not finished. --Detlef 04:28, 5 March 2009 (PST)
- The listing in Field Manual: Updates reads "Better known as Archer's Avengers, the Thorin FTM is the only regional militia regarded as a front-line unit by the LAAF, its performance against the Fifteenth Arcturan, Snords' Irregulars and the Jade Falcons earning the unit a solid reputation in the short time of its existence as an independent formation."
- The way I understand it, the 1st Thorin Regiment/Thorin Militia became Archer's Avengers during the FCCW so that they could technically be part of a foreign military. Following the end of that war and their reintegration into the LAAF, the unit became the Thorin FTM. --Scaletail 19:02, 5 March 2009 (PST)
- First the Thorin FTM was part of the LAAF. Then it went renegade. Then it became part of the 1st Thorin Regiment of the unofficial AFFS (of the then-non-existing FedSun) of Victor during the FedCom Civil War. That means, that after the FCCWar the 1st Thorin re-joined the LAAF and was renamed to Thorin FTM. --Detlef 03:25, 6 March 2009 (PST)
- So, we have a Thorin FTM page which mentions all that and a redirect for the 1st Thorin Regiment to that entry, two separate articles is too confusing, especially for a different name that lasted lasted only a tiny amount of time.Cyc 05:16, 6 March 2009 (PST)
