Indeed. I still need some fellow freedom lovers to defend Peace and Sheep with me in the Alliance Ground Defense Arm!
Also some pirates to menace the same.

Well Well, on Discord, you can find fellow players, there is even already a house Davion server from people recruiting for the league! :-D
We also have some new features for the league, like faction leaders, recharge stations for the jump ships ...
Provide some updates on how the war progresses, please.
Well well, currently it does not progress at all, as the game is not released yet ^^
But if I got you right, you wanted to know, how the interaction between league and HBS:BT takes place?
I will try a quite simple summary: Inside the league you have a complete economy, buy Mechs, load em into ships and invade foreign worlds with those Mechs.
There there are some rules for the different attacks like sabotage, recon, planetary assault and of course you fight the battles with those Mechs, you bought in the league ( stock load outs).
The results of the fights are then reported back to the league, which will then calculate the salvage, destroyed infrastructure ( on sabotage) and will change planet ownerships, if a planetary assault was successful.
So planets will switch factions ( planetary assault), factories, recharge stations or maintenance centres will be destroyed (sabotage), secret data about a units Mech and fleet deployments will be revealed (recon) etc. pp.
Of course there is more to it...
If you are a loyalist, join your favourite faction, elect a faction leader and then coordinate with the other faction loyalists and together protect the realm and conquer the inner Sphere.
Or open up a Merc unit and see if you can become the best and richest Merc in the Inner Sphere.
Or well, if you are a Periphery loyalist, we also have a lot Periphery Nations in the game.
You want to resurrect the Rimworld Republic and see if you can do better than Stafan Amaris did? Sure, try!
The Magistracy of Canopus is your ideal of a society? Take up arms for it and export your way of life by force to the Inner Sphere :-D
Oh and given your name... we need more Germans in the league and house Steiner needs more units as well :-D
We are starting with a pre launch test drive and hopefully will start the season at the 2nd of May, read here.
First, create a user account by registering to the site.
If you want to join an existing unit, it is best to PM the CO (Commander) of that unit. You can find active units and their members under League/Active units on the main page of innerspherewars.eu. by clicking on a CO's name there, you can PM that person.
Thanks. I've done that. Reading the rules to see if I can meet the timezone requirements of the game. Being in the USA and all....
AND WE ARE LIVE!! At 2100 CET the league started and the first fights are already erupting throughout the Inner Sphere!
League has started, so far the action has been diplomatic. The Augrian Coalition and the Capellans reached an agreement, and most of the Periphery powers have joined a mutual defense pact.
So far the only Outworlds action has been me accidentally launching our jump ship, the OAV (don't know the canonical prefix) Independence into Draconis space, with no dropships attached. The Combine authorities were entirely reasonable about the matter.

The Free Worlds League reports the patriotic Atrean Dragoons have foiled the attempted invasions perpetrated Marian Hegemony and Circinus Federation. The Captain-General has been quoted as saying these acts of naked aggression will not go unpunished.
The Ministry of Truth encourages all able bodied men and women to sign up at their district revolutionary guard for indoctrination and training.

I'm conflicted. On the one hand these are nations I have mutual support pacts with. On the other hand, freedom.

Just joking. But at least Mech Regiments getting destroyed

Today, in an utterly unwarranted act of aggression, the 1st Rasalhague Regulars raided the inoffensive world of Dante in the Outworlds Alliance! Dante of course is best known as the home of the ultra-pacifist anti-technology Omniss sect. In this attack the DCMS was trying to terrify the people of the Outworlds Alliance into becoming a Draconis ally against the Federated Suns.
The Rasalhague Regulars (Talkpolite) brought an extremely powerful raiding force: a Thunderbolt, a Catapult, and two King Crabs. Rather than try and match them in a slug-fest, the local Outworlds Alliance Ground Defense Arm forces opted for a middle-weight lance, led by a Black Knight, a Trebuchet, a Centurion, with a Locust to serve as scout. The idea was to use manueverability and the terrain to maximize Drconis losses, while at the same time holding the OAGDA's precious heavy hitters for later, more critical fights.
(I attempted to record this match using OBS, something I never used or even heard of until today. If/when I figure out how to edit it so it skips the 10-20 minutes of us struggling to get a stable connection I'll post it here. for now I'm writing this up from memory.)
The battlefield was centered around a tall mountain, Mount Alameda, deep in the desert, with a moderate sized town at its feet. Arriving from the south, the Alliance mechs opted to adopt a standoff tactic. They would climb the narrow trail switching back up the south side of the mountain. Once on top the Black Knight would cover the trail and maintain line of sight, the Trebuchet would pour indirect fire from the safety of a copse of trees in the center, with the Centurion switched between those roles as needed. The Locust was to maintain LoS on the enemy as they apporached, if possible leading them on a wild goose chase until the rest of the lance was in position.
The strategy proved fatally flawed as the last critical turn up onto the mesa proved impassable (because the map trolled me, putting the boundary line exactly too close for non-jump mechs to reach that beautiful high ground). The plan had to be modified, so that the Black Knight and Centurion took up positions on the lower slopes of the trail with the Trebuchet higher up. This would force the Draconis mechs to round the corner and climb, exposed to indirect fire they could not respond to. However once the enemy King Crabs reached the bottom of the trail there would be no possibility of escape. Thus the brave Outworlds 'warriors voluntarily "went full Alamo."
As expected, the Draconis mechs advanced in close order around the left-hand side of the mountain. The locust attempted to use its speed and cover to maintain LoS and sensor lock, but only a few volleys of LRMs were launched before the enemy Thunderbolt and Catapult succeeded at crippling, then destroying, the mech. The Combine mechs then gathered just out of sight around the corner to prepare for the advance.
The Combine commander could read a map as well as anyone, and realized he would need to establish LoS to rain fire on the Alliance mechs with his Catapult while his lethal King Crabs crawled forward to bring their devestating AC20s to bear. His Thunderbolt led the way, dashing into the open space at the foot of the trail and bracing for impact. The Outworld mechs unleashed their full force, with the LRMs of both the Centurion and Trebuchet knocking the enemy heavy mech down. The Black Knight, as skillful as it was lucky, made a called shot with her full force, triggering an SRM ammo explosion that destroyed the heavy mech. Slow clapping was heard over coms.
As the Alliance mechs pulled back further up the trail, the Kurita Catapult rounded the corner. Spotting for itself, the Catapult inflicted heavy damage, bringing down the Centurion. But return fire from the Trebuchet opened a weak spot on its side armor, and the Black Knight again managed a called shot that destroyed the torso and one of the Catapult's LRM launchers. It then retreated to provide fire support to the King Crabs. These advanced into heavy fire, but though siginificant damage was done to the lead crab's center torso the Black Knight fell quickly once the AC20s were in range. The Knight's last desperate, overheating Alpha Strike failed to achieve the lucky hull breach and ammo explosion that the Outworlders prayed for. Having spent her last LRMs, the Trebuchet then engaged in a charge worthy of any Kurita samurai. Amazingly she dodged fire from both King Crabs' AC20s long enough to strike the lead assault mech in melee twice. Neither succeeded in taking the Kuritan assualt mech down with her, and the third volley of AC20 fire destroyed the last Outworlds Alliance Ground Defense Arm mech on the mountain.
A hard day for the Outworlds Alliance. In the aftermath Kuritan ambassadors on Alpheratz insisted that the Alliance join with house Kurita in an invasion of the Federated Suns or face further attack. Instead the Executive Parliament unanimously agreed that a state of war now existed between the Alliance and the Combine. House Davion representatives who had previously been rebuffed due to the official Outworlds position of strict neutrality were asked to return for consultation, resulting in an official alliance between the two nations. For the first time since the Reunification War, the people of the Outworlds Alliance were forced into war with an Inner Sphere power. But the brave example of the outgunned defenders of Dante inspired a wave of militant patriotism in the usually peaceful people of the Outworlds. "Remember Santiago!" posters sprouted up across dozens of worlds and bands struck up patriotic songs for the throngs of recruits who rushed to enlist in the Alliance Military or their local planetary militas.
(replace Union with Outworlds, Traitors with Tyrants, and Stars with Star, and this song fits the OA perfectly)

The Combine is evil. It is known.
Glory to the honorable fallen.
We are not evil per se, we only want to spread peace, love and prosperity through conquest.
