- Per TR:3025, "five thousand or more" Stingers survive to 3025. Adding Wasps and Locusts in the MW1e ratio of 51:42:32 should bring us to 12500 (5100+4200+3200).
- I count 55000 'Mechs total in 3025. BF1e says 30% (which is 16500) are light and 10% (5500) are assault weight.
- Per TR:3025, about 500 Chargers, 5000/3 Banshees, and a larger but unspecified number of Stalkers survive in 3025.
12500/16500ths of 5500 is exactly equal to 500 Chargers, 5000/3 Banshees and 2000 Stalkers. That's a very plausible number of Stalkers; and if any of my premises going into this were wrong or arbitrary, the number shouldn't have come out as such a clean integer. I kinda wonder if the assault 'Mech fraction was picked first and then the light 'Mech fractions were reverse-engineered to match.
Just found your blog and am loving it. I've been playing BT sine '85 and am an unabashed 3025 and early FASA publication guy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteThis early stuff is my favorite too and I'm enjoying working through it. I do plan to eventually reach "20 Year Update" and everything beyond, though.
Heh, one day right :p
DeleteHeh, right.
