April 3019 ISAW Turn Part III
Capellan and Draconis Turn Summary up to the Combat Phase
<<*Game Note: Since our game did not use formal CCs as found in IO only the FS had fixed formations. Everyone else had a host of conventional regiments that they attached to Mech regiments or posted to planets. The Jan-Mar 3019 turns had been used by players to expend RPs to produce new regiments to start forming combat commands as per the ACS/ISAW rules. This meant most House forces (except Davion) had to start vacuuming up a host of garrison or otherwise unassigned regiments and forming them around the Mech regiments. The players did not have to use the ‘book’ command numbers consisting of x number of armour, infantry, artillery regiments and so on but were asked ‘formalise’ their CC formations by Apr 3019.
Costs were adjusted so that a veteran Mech regiment (for example) could receive veteran conventional troops if they did not already exist. This worked ok for most except the DC, which had comparatively few conventional regiments to make this conversion (but his Mech regiments were always in much better shape than other Houses) while the LC was simply short of troops. As of April, these “legacy” regiments are still allowed to be purchased for empty slots in commands but now the limitations in the rules regarding quality are imposed (ie: max - regular). If a command is destroyed before the legacy regiment are built, those slots are lost and the new command needs to be built from scratch as per the IO rues>>
