Hm. Search inside indicates that you are correct regarding "First
Jhereg Lancers" and "First Jhereg Assassins", and strongly suggests
that Vlad is not called an irregular (while the spell-checking on the
text is not always perfect, I think they did a mostly good job in this
case).

It looks like the idea that "Irregulars" was used in /Dragon/ was a
false memory.  Which I succmbed to as well; how annoying.
