Eyyy, it's mah bois!!! Love playing as the CCAF on tabletop. I often emulate their chronic shortage of heavier mechs by sticking mostly to lights and meds, even in tournaments. I remember having to face a heavy and an assault with only 2 meds. But by the Chancellor, we never back down, and I gave as good as I got.

As a proud, dirty Cappie, I love the vibe of the CCAF. Underestimated and outmatched for much of its history, but never truly broken, and always coming back for another round despite their enemies' best efforts to put it down. I've always been fond of medium mechs and lighter-heavies, which the CCAF has historically relied on (yay Crusader, yay Catapult, yay Vindicator), and the need for their non-mech forces to be some of the best in the Inner Sphere (because they had to be) is a great bit of flavor.

Would you have any idea how many home guard troops would be on an average capellan world? Would it be company sized? Or a regiment?

Checking both the description and the runtime, this is gonna be a Heavy-class video. “Force Leader” is a title markedly reminiscent of...say, the terminology of the ruling regime in modern Beijing. “Senior General” was entirely abolished, for only the ranking at one level below that former general title, then? I keep reading Chancellor Weng-Liao's retaliatory ranking as “Señor Kernel”...but that REALLY wouldn't make sense. Though it would certainly be punishing. “Steadfast loyalty” is very important...uh huh. The battle image after 5:30 is particularly impressive. Dynamic poses and great-looking B-&-W art. I certainly appreciate the crowd and populace pictures for substance to this universe, and even that headquarters high-rise building seen after 7:25. Though I wasn't current at the time in question, I remember your overview video, GDN. Due to having watched and rewatched it. So, I thank you for providing long-BattleTech-removed me with more in-depth context via this series. And depth it is. There are many parallels with the Capellans to our reality, both in the '80s during BattleTech's inception and obviously, now. Swords and a tiger for a badge. Cheeky end-of-video insert about a “tiger” of your own, Narrator. The actual Capellan military seems to be potentially capable of higher performance if not held back by self-imposing government. Its academies sound as though they've got it all covered, for a military society. Always BOTH informative and entertaining. There is only one GDN, who ranks above Chancellor, in my opinion. Thank you for beginning this fascinating coverage. Until you next revisit the Inner Sphere, Narrator, have a healthy and terrific rest of this week.

@@GrimDarkNarrator That promises to be an interesting series. Though I do not envy your research on the subject. It seems like a daunting task as there is probably so much data on the subject, but it will be in so many places, all in bits and pieces. Still, if anyone can sus it out, it will be you. I really wish Sven Vander Plank used you in his videos. I have admonished him for overlooking you. You have beeen at this for a long time and you are very much appreciated in my neck of the woods.

I don't curiosity, you being a war narrator for game systems. which game system has the most fluff/lore? I've been a BattleTech fan since the late 80s, so I know how much lore that game has. But I'm wondering of all the game systems you cover, which one has the most?
