==Overview:==
The word "humiliating" does not even begin to describe the aftermath of the
Blakist loss of Terra. The Blakes were so intent upon taking over the Inner
Sphere that they neglected what was supposed to have been their crown jewel.
In the process, not only have they suffered themselves to endure burning
shame, they've also lost several key factories. That they've also hemhorraged
forces attempting to take certain planets which refused to fall has only made
their situation that much more precarious. To quote Phyrrus of Ephyrus, "One
more such victory and I am undone."

Whereas the Blakists have more than enough volunteers (willing and otherwise)
to fill their ranks, the loss of so much material and so many factories has
left them short in regards to available firepower. Hence, the expansion of the
vehicle plant on Sirius from producing simple utility and police vehicles to
producing such dated staples as the Pack Rat, 3R Stinger (a 3R in designator
only), and now this. 

Directly based on the original 2H, the 2B has been refitted to factor in both
double heat sinks and the limited amount of weapons and hardware available at
the Sirius plant. In the mech's favor, the Blakists switched to double heat
sinks, added CASE, and maximized the jumping distance. Working against the
mech, however, is that Sirius does not produce medium lasers or LRMs. Instead,
a flamer had to be substituted for the medium laser and an SRM 6 for the 2 and
LRM 5. Owing to a little bit of remaining tonnage, a machine gun was added. 

On one hand, the 2B can be a rather effective urban combat tool in the hands
of a skilled pilot. This may, in fact, have been what the Blakists were after.
On the other hand, its effective weapons range has been scaled back by such a
degree that the mech is of questionable tactical value outside of a city
environment. We doubt, however, that the Blakists really care at this point.
