Talk:Wolf's Dragoons

The two notions about scenarios from the rulebooks refer to the German rulebooks which I have here. However, I noticed that the (German) CityTech rulebook states to take its contents from a number of original publications. Could somebody therefore please check wether the scenarios are included in the original (english) rulebooks? Either way, having been published by FanPro I suppose they can be considered canonical.

I have included information up until 3055 (most of it from the Mercenary's Handbook). The article needs serious work on later times, their clan merger and ultimate fate. I think I will leave that to somebody else. Frabby 16:26, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

I looked through and the edits you made are both reasonable and substantial. A lot of extra information and much of it very good. If there's any information about who commanded the unit in a later time period (say 3050 or 3055), you should consider adding another InfoBoxMercUnit to cover that period.

Thanks for the flowers! I *think* that Jaime Wolf commanded the Dragoons until that Elton guy tried to take over (Wolf Pack novel), and after their brief "civil war" Jaime's daughter Maeve Wolf took command. I sort of lost track (and interest) in the whole Clan-Wolf-in-Exile and the Jade Wolves mess. From other forums I take it Wolf's Dragoons were effectively destroyed during the Blake Jihad, when the Waco Rangers assaulted Outreach and Wayne Waco finally got to kill Jaime Wolf. This goes to illustrate the issue I have with the InfoBoxMercUnit: They can only be snapshots from a given time, but are woefully incapable of depicting the development of famous units such as WD, GDL or ELH over the course of the BT timeline. With their luck waxing and waning, you'd basically need a new Box after every assignment/major battle. Frabby 05:21, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

I would agree that to be truly accurate, you would need an InfoBox every time something happened. I'd point out, though, that most of the source books provide this information on every unit and for specific time frames (3025, 3050, 3055/6, 3067, etc). The way I view it, FASA/whomever has provided the information for various time periods and those time periods can be captured in the InfoBoxes. More detailed information (like CO changes, regiments forming/leaving/destroyed) should occur in the historical text section. I see most of the info as a basis for people who want to play those units in those time frames. At least that's what I think FASA thought when they first started providing that information. These snapshots allow players to see the waxing/waning of units over time and I think it's useful from that perspective. Bdevoe 17:02, 23 September 2007 (CDT)
