The campaign began with the [[DCMS]] units landing on the 16th of June [[2584]], relishing the anticipated tough campaign against the Second Dragoons; with the limitations of the Ares Conventions removed the Combine forces had no compunction about torturing captives to obtain information, or about shelling civilian settlements as a method of driving out concealed Republican forces. The resulting death toll was heavily skewed, with the Combine forces losing just forty-two personnel (including seven [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]]) while the Republican casualties were in excess of ten thousand. Word of the tactics the Combine used on Nightwish quickly spread,<ref name="H:RWp134"/> resulting in both the Republican loyalist and rebel forces placing all of the Combine forces other than the First Arkab Legion on a "kill on sight" footing,<ref name="H:RWp36"/> as well as tarring all of the other units within Task Force MAILED FIST with the same brush, condemning all of the [[SLDF]] as barbarians.<ref name="H:RWp134"/> The actions of the Draconis Auxiliary Corps on Nightwish resulted in the resistance faced by Task Force MAILED FIST stiffening considerably on most other worlds within the Republic, slowing the progress made by the Task Force and sapping morale.<ref name="H:RWp134A">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref> ==Officers== The Commanding Officer (CO) of the Second Amaris Dragoons in 2581 was [[Colonel]] [[Nial Farrell]].<ref name="H:RWp131">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 131, "The Rim Worlds Army Loyalties"</ref> ==Tactics== ==Composition== ==Notes== ==Rules== <div class=gamerules> * During the Reunification War the First Dragoons receive a -1 penalty to all repair rolls as a consequence of the disruption caused to the logistical infrastructure of the Rim Worlds Army during the Rim Worlds Republic civil war.<ref name="H:RWp183">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 183, "Rim Worlds Republic"</ref> </div> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' [[Category:Rim Worlds Republic Commands|Amaris Dragoons, 002nd]]
