General Notes

  • Independent regiments always have at least one Assault DropShip attached to their DropShip unit
  • Hussar and Dragoon Regiments have a single LAM lance attached to the command unit
  • Light Horse Regiments have a LAM company
  • There are several independent LAM companies that can be attached (either as a company or lance) to existing units - these independent LAM companies are considered part of the front-line units
  • All independent regiments have a DropShip lift capacity of approximately 20% greater than required to actually lift all units in the regiment
  • All independent regiments have at least one "scout" class JumpShip attached to their JumpShip unit
  • All units with a "Mobile HQ" unit also have a DropShip that contains HQ facilities appropriate to the unit and also transports a mobile HQ.
  • All units' "Support Unit" include repair, communication, supply, medical, and administrative personnel and equipment.
    • Transport for "Support Units" are included in the unit's "DropShip Unit"
  • Battle and Heavy Assault Regiments should each have a LAM lance assigned to the Command unit
  • Independent Regiments should have a search-and-recovery (SAR) unit attached to their Support units
  • Brigades and Divisions, as well as independent front-line units should also have SAR units assigned to their Support units
  • There needs to be an array of Combat Engineering DropShip designs to hold the various combat engineering units of the Regiments, Brigades, Divisions, and other Independent Units.

Reserve Division Composition

  • Use Greek gods/heroes for designations of large-scale unit types
  • 3 types of Reserve/Home Guard/Militia divisions:
    • Artemis - General purpose division
    • Athena - Mobile strike division - used primarily for counter-attacks
    • Ares - Heavy combat division - used primarily for defense
  • X types of Reserve/Home Guard/Militia brigades:
    • Achilles - Mobile strike brigade
    • Odysseus - Heavy combat brigade
    • Perseus - General purpose brigade
    • Theseus - Special environment operations brigade
    • Orithyia - Support brigade
    • Myrnia - Rapid response brigade
    • Pegasus - Ground-based aerospace brigade
    • Andromeda - Space-based aerospace brigade
