Not bad, planned to sell one of the Jumpships to snag some cash. I was leaning towards a 2790 start date, maybe have my unit being left behind by a mechanical issue or some such. Delayed their departure from a Periphery garrison.
Only going to get huge if I allow it to get huge. Heck, I figure the unit would have enough spare parts and ammo for 1-2 light combat Campaigns, after that, they are going to be scrambling.
Basic start layout, is a Command Dictator carrying 2 mech companies, artillery support and a armor company, a Danais as a supply transport, and another 1-2 dropships to be determined, probably a Leopard CV for Aero support. Maybe instead of a 2nd jumpship, sell off one of the dropships to get cash. I can then have the jumpship suffered a breakdown of some sort that caused the entire load to be left behind. Don't want my force to start too big. So current idea is to have the combat forces smaller but heavier on support level troops. Need to scope the older dropships and possibly have one that carries a large amount of light vehicles.
Going to make sure all equipment either has a lower tech level version for downgrades as ammo becomes scarce along with spare parts. I can then store the advanced weapons for later use, a couple hundred years down the road. LOL
Could have sworn I read that Kerensky basically put leaving to a vote amongst units. So would not have been branded mutineers, otherwise the Light Horse would have been clobbered by it. Yeah, like the breakdown route, could make the load out be the HQ/support forces from a brigade.
