Nice man , loving your work
Pleasure to listen as always.
Excellent work sir
Further excellent content!
As always Sven, stellar work. Thank you for the video. I have to say seeing the Houses military's and what they have and where; when everything starts is an icing on a Succession Wars cake I never knew I needed.
Thank you for the bonus ep, holy shit i Love Battletech
great work as always sven looking forward to more.
Oh man. Your vids get better and better!!! So going to shill your stuff over on our channel. 👍🏻🤘🏻🍻
Nice job as always.
Seeing all of those numbers and Units, shows how well and truly destructive the First two Succession Wars were; by the Third, most of them either no longer existed, or were shells of their former selves.
Hello Sven.
A good video. One with a lot of good information upon the numbers available to the Houses in that Era.
The video also more than points out the vast numbers of Mechs available to all Houses, and the conventional forces to back them up.
Considering that a Mech Regiment is around 400 Mechs (including command groups), the fact that House Regiments numbered in the hundreds is scary. I don't know about you, but just the thought of 40,000+ Mechs is daunting, in, and of, itself.
And a final thought… The Star League severely outnumbered ALL the Great Houses military forces, combined! It is not really a surprise in the light of numbers like these, and projecting those of the Star League's military, that Pax Terra was upheld for awhile.
Dragonlords sounds like a Davion dnd or larp group
The level of detail and intricacy on these rundowns are amazing. Keep up the great work.
out Standing !!!
I really enjoyed this, great work!
Sven, for us military-history nuts, is it possible to cut this back into the original episode for an "unedited director's cut"?.
Well done again- I do love your work.
Amazing work as always Sven, your videos have been a huge help in getting my friends into battletech
Of course we want more lists and numbers. We love Battletech after all. This is awesome. Keep on doing Blake's work.
Very informative brief status. I do wish there was more detail to the Navy side aide fleet strength. I guess we'll find out more once the First Succession War hits.
Sven, of all channels and sources YOU were my first introduction to Battletech. I never played the games, never saw other videos before you. Your diligent historical-style delivery spoke to me and shaped my understanding of this franchise. I now own 20 minis and rising, happy to find a game and lore that suits my interests and I have you to thank.
Keep up the good work, keep doing your thing man.
i dont think ive left commet yet, but i very much enjoy these videos
@Sven: Quick question: Is all the black area at the outward edge of the map empty space (no planets or suns), or it is just uncharted space? Back in the old days, that was never really resolved, much less how all the planets on the map match up against the Milky Way galaxy.
This is awesome…please keep up the good work 😀
