[Churchofgaming] Diaspora - updates on platoon combat

[Mark]

Faith Delegation*
Reason Delegation*
Foreign Delegation*
 
- So according to the rules (from memory) these are infantry with 3 in "specialist delegation" (ie non combat special troops!)
- Is there one of each of these units? But they are fighting?
- If these are all command units - they could be very powerful, even though they're weakly trained for combat.

Parlimentry Guard
Reason Special Forces (Orbital drop)
Faith Assault Crusaders (Orbital drop)
- five units each. All Infantry? Or can use some vechicles?
 
Any foreign IVs from ships in orbit
Any ships in orbit: treat these as Artillary
- Are we going to use these? May be more complicated then we need? (we're struggling with infantry)
 
- What tech are each?
- (reason and faith are 1 = 2 stunt each)
- (parlimentary guard tech -1? = 1 stunt each?)

- Any idea on how people are going to split them?
- I'm happy to be whatever people don't want! :)

>Too lazy to check the book right now but I think you can wander off but it might put you out of command range which put the unit on automatic pilot and makes then rather crap. Not sure how this impacts on point 2 below but will do some reading when I'm less tired and drunk.
>Also for those interested in designing a few units check out the design rules in the platton combat section (not required I have designed a version of all the units needed next time but if you want to change something...). The 'plattons' are:

>> Hi all

>> Just thought I'd share a few bits I've read:
>> 1. You have consequences - PER PLATOON (not unit) - we'd all have died quicker!
>> 
>> 2. Leaders (from what I can tell) when dead, you basically lose. But they are very powerful.
>> 3. You can't go off on your own (Levs round the island jaunt! Though it may depend if they are part of the platoon then?)
>> 
>> 4. Command works against the damage difficulty, not 0! (much harder to heal!)
>> 
>> 5. Consequences are a free tag
>>  
>> About it so far, but I reckon it would have gone a lot quicker with all that.
