For unknown reasons, their unit was integrated into the [[Blackstone Highlanders]] in early [[3063]]. ==Unit History== For unknown reasons, the Wolverton's Highlanders were integrated into the Blackstone Highlanders in early [[3063]]. The Wolverton's Highlanders were officially part of the Blackstone Highlanders, but were still deployed apart from the rest of their new unit. In [[3063]], Wolverton's Highlanders were under contract with the Lyran Alliance during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. They were offered a role in a plot to destroy the [[1st Thorin Regiment]].<ref name=MoaHp49>''Measure of a Hero'', p 49 (BattleCorps PDF version)</ref> [[Colonel]] [[Robert Feehan]] agreed, as he saw this as a chance to impress his new boss [[Colonel]] [[Scott Blackstone]]. One 'Mech company of Wolverton's Highlanders was entrusted to a [[Loki (Intelligence agency)|Loki]] agent, who set up a trap on [[Odessa]]. He used the company in April 3063 to trick [[Snord's Irregulars]] and the 1st Thorin into fighting each other. But by the time the rest of Wolverton's Highlanders arrived on Odessa, both sides had found out that they had fallen victim to a lie. Wolverton's Highlanders proceeded with their original plan to attack the weakened 1st Thorin. Colonel Feehan realized that he had to destroy Snord's Irregulars as well, because one day they might find out about this plot. He didn't want to destroy Snord's Irregulars, as he respected them, but he decided to do it anyway for the good of his unit. But the 1st Thorin and Snord's Irregulars had joined forces and regained some strength by exchanging salvaged 'Mechs and supplies. Together they were able to defeat Wolverton's Highlanders.

Accordingly, a regular strategy was to engage the enemy as fast as possible, strike hard with concentrated fire and then regroup. Wolverton's Highlanders were not equipped for long battles, as their 'Mechs lacked armor. ==Unit Profile== The unit was Regiment-sized and consisted entirely of ninety-six 'Mechs, mostly of medium and light weight. The unit had five [[DropShip]]s: two ''[[Overlord]]''s (''[[Celtic Warrior]]'' and ''[[Wild Hunter]]'') and three ''[[Union]]''s (''[[Roarke's Drift]]'', ''[[Chard]]'' and ''[[Emerald Piper]]'').<ref>''[[Measure of a Hero|In die Pflicht genommen]]'', p. 258</ref> ==Composition History== ===3059=== '''Wolverton's Highlanders''' (1 [[Regiment]]/Regular/Questionable)<ref name=FM:Mp105>''Field Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 105</ref> * 1st Battalion: Brevet [[Colonel]] Robert Feehan * 2nd Battalion: [[Major]] Tracy Banks * 3rd Battalion: Major Fallon Cloudancer '''Highlander Air Support''' (2 Lances/Veteran/Questionable) * Wing Commander: [[Captain]] Tammi Ellison : Note: At this point in time the unit was stationed on [[Outreach]]. <ref name = FMMercsp115 >'' Field Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 115</ref> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[Call of Duty]]'' (novel) *''[[FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)]]'' *''[[Field Manual: Mercenaries]]'' *''[[Measure of a Hero]]'' [[Category:Mercenary Commands|Wolverton's Highlanders]]
