Overview:
The Tasche was actually more a product of happenstance than actual design. At the start of
the first Succession war, on the planet Lucerne, a small battlemech factory was just being
finished, intended to manufacture the powerful Battlemaster assault 'mech. Unfortunately,
when House Kurita invaded the world, the manufacturing plant was severely damaged.
When Davion forces finally managed to free the world, the factory had been reduced to only
semi-operation. It could still produce battlemechs, but its structure could no longer
support the massive weight of the Battlemaster it had been tooled to create. A thorough
structural examination revealed that the heaviest chassis the facility could safely produce
had been reduced to just 60 tons.
Not wanting an otherwise perfectly good 'mech plant to go to waste, Hollis Industries
quickly came up with an offshoot of the Battlemaster to be produced. It shared virtually all
of its parts with its venerable big brother, and was easily mass-manufactured by the damaged
plant.
Capabilities:
The Tasche has served surprisingly well, considering how it came to be. Functioning as a
sort of "micro" assault 'mech, it has been recorded defeating 'mechs up to 20 tons heavier
than itself with astonishing regularity.
While extremely slow for a 'mech of its' size, the Tasche's weapons and armor allow it to
keep any opponent wary, lest they fall victim to the "Quillboar", an appropiate nickname
taken from a small but particularly vicious animal native to the planet Acala.
Like its big brother, the Tasche does best up close, where it can bring to bear its
incredible array of Martell lasers. It actually improves upon its predecessor in long-range
firepower, however, supplimenting the Donal PPC with a Mitchell Systems LRM-15 rack, which
replaces the old Holly missile system.
The overall effectiveness of the 'mech, along with its amazingly low price tag, has made it
a favorite among poorer worlds, periphery powers, and mercenaries looking for heavy
firepower.

Very dangerous mech, but speed leaves it for defensive operations and slow advances. Heavy armor and weapons allow it to make good companion to assaults and fire support mechs that lack good close range weapons. Heat sinks can keep it cool in most situations, good thing for 3025 mech.

A mean little fella here. This mech should have no problems standing toe to toe with many of its tonnage and possibly even heavier stuff.
Although a pocket assualt mech the armor is still weak when compared to the real big boys and the speed can be abit of problem so keep it under cover when approaching the target is wise.

I like the pocket-assault approach. This is a mean little SOB, and it definitely packs enough firepower to constitute a serious threat to any assault 'mech which gets too close. The LRM-PPC combo gives you a nice long-range strike capability as well, fully on par with the capabilities of 'mechs like the Battlemaster or Zeus. The slow speed is the only real problem here; it can't keep up with heavy lances very well, so you can really only deploy this in dedicated assault units.
I like the back-story as well.
