Regaining twenty percent of their strength during the lull between the First and Second Succession Wars, by [[2830]] the Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment had been redeployed to garrison [[Zollikofen]]. By the end of Second Succession War just over thirty years later, the unit had suffered heavy losses, battered down to a third of their regimental strength. Licking their wounds, in [[2864]] the Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment remained stationed on Zollikofen.<ref name="SSWp100">''Second Succession War'', p. 100: "Second Succession War Deployment Table - Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces"</ref>
