Profile[edit]
I started playing Battletech as a student in 1989 and am an ex-member of MechForce UK. My first 'Mechs were all from the PlasTech box set I bought with a friend. I was also a Wizkids Envoy for MechWarrior: Dark Age running approved play tournaments and demonstrations in the early to mid-2000s. The Lostech Era of the Third Succession War is probably still my favourite period in BT history. Enjoyed the Clan Invasion, though less so the storyline which became terribly contrived as time went on.
Preferred Factions[edit]
By far my favourite faction and Clan was Clan Smoke Jaguar. It was just a shame that they were always so badly written about both in Source Books and Novels. Nothing consistent was ever put together and in the end they were used simply as (a rather poor) plot device. The limiting nature of Clan warfare through Trials that kept casualties to a minimum and often meant collateral damage was unheard of appealed to me, and I could never see how this was often portrayed as a bad thing in the literature.
Out of all the Great Houses I have a soft spot for the Free Worlds League, in Succession Wars Era especially.
When MechWarrior: Dark Age first came out I played Bannson's Raiders but with the story progression I am very keen to see how the Fidelis evolve.
Why I'm Here[edit]
I have been a casual user of this site for many years. However, often the information I was looking for was not available, so I decided to put it here for others to use. My pet project is updating the Clan Smoke Jaguar Touman and their individual Clusters. I think its useful to get this information readily available in one place, after all this was one of the most high profile factions for a while and never had its own Field Manual.
Projects[edit]
- Adding unit/faction logos for each command, I think this small addition enhances the aesthetic of the article.

- Adding Jaguar Warships, named JumpShips and DropShips - Done
- Adding info for Jaguar personalities - including the four Operation Bulldog Galaxy Commanders Mikhail Ward, Hang Mehta, Brendon Corbett and Jin Mehta.
