It does appear our unit commander subscribes to the policy of 3 mech lances, with a light mech assigned to each lance as a forth mech to act as the lances scout/messenger

And then there is the Urbie....

[Mei-Ling Zhou]

And then there is the Urbie....

You mean the best mech in the galaxy?
Someone had to get stuck with it.

[GM Yuusha]

I mean, the lance that got the Urbie are fairly long ranged. They can hopefully place it behind a hill or building to intercept an enemy moving toward their LRM units.

(Thank you for your analysis, Tanaki.)

Raider 3
Wolverine WVR-6M - 55T 86K jump decent long & med

Trebuchet TBT-7K - 50t 86k good long & med
Wasp WSP-1K - 20T 95K Jump, decent med

Is there any reason to try and mulligan that Centurion in the hopes of a faster mech? It is a real solid mech. It just does not match the speed profile of the lance, being slower than the rest.
Having a fully jump capable lance would have been nice too, but that is not achievable here, with one mulligan.
What are your thoughts?

[Yori Hakamada]

I’m no expert but that’s a really solid Centurion variant. I’d hate for you to mulligan and get something with half the BV when that also doesn’t fit well with the rest of the lance.

[Catherine Maia Hayes]

That is why I am so reluctant to mulligan it. I have decided to just take it. One somewhat slower mech is a nuisance, but not a huge problem. And we are still a ragtag mercenary group, so there has to be some give.
And our ferret GM has less work to do too that way. ^-^
I'm good with that. Thank you, everyone, for the input.

[Catherine Maia Hayes]

I think I will try to mulligan that Wasp though. It just does too little.
It currently fills no niche in my lance, since my lance is already a good enough laser show. XD

Just spotted this. It's more the CO subscribes to the policy of "I wish I had more/bigger/better mechs, but this is what I've got!" and all the mechs that can be used are assigned.

And then there is the Urbie....
