Our gains were:

15 tanks in the upgraded Gazelle
4 mechs, 2 fighters in the Leopard
Empty Mule
Empty Upgraded Union
Empty Upgraded Leopard CV

And then the Charger, Dragon and another 8 tanks from the locals.


We create the 1st Arboris Avengers. We give them the 23 tanks, 6 mechs and 5 fighters we captured. Of the nine farmer-infantry regiments, most dissolve, now that we have 36 mechs of our own, and the growing Arboris Avengers But one battalion of infantry enjoyed their time and stay with the Avengers.


Now, we aren’t interested in the Leopard. It just delivers a lance of mechs – our needs are beyond that. The Leopards are worth 400 million-ish. That’s about how much a Tramp JumpShip is worth. (475-ish million)

Mule is 160 mill, Gazelle, upgraded is 212 mill, and the Union, upgraded, is 290 mill

Remember, I decided to use better numbers for these assets. The original 3057 has DropShips a lot cheaper, but that does not reflect their value, and they were changed in later publications.

For example, take the 100 ton mech, the Berserker. This Inner Sphere mech costs 32.2 million.

Now, according to the first edition of 3057, an upgraded Fury DropShip is worth 32.5 million . Basically the same price. The Fury is 1850 tons and can carry 8 tanks and 4 infantry platoons. Does that sound like they should be the same price?

That’s why the changes were made to costs and such. (Meanwhile, JumpShip costs were reduced in some places. The Tramp dropped hundreds of millions, for example).

So we captured, roughly, 1 billion worth of AeroSpace assets.


End of the Arboris Campaign
