[OOC] Return of the Force 2.

[Firewombat]

Due to finals and whatnot, I've been impeded up to this point. Tomorrrow is the final uh...final, so after that's done, I'll get my handy notepad file and work up a post.

[Gat]

No worries mate, as we've said, we don't exactly more at a hares pace.

[Helios]

Finally slugged my way though the complex rules and I'm sure there will be lots of lovely little miscalculations along the way. In spite of Gat's views on the matter, I tried to keep the Shuttles/strike craft easily labeled and cost-listed. :P I figure I can fluff them with names etc. once you chaps have torn my work to shreds as usual. Cheers mates.

After quite the delay, there's the event post up and sitting about being shiny.

[Gat]

Nice one mate. I should have a post for Kuryi up sometime this evening if all goes to plan.

[Gat]

Right so I still dont have my kuryi post done... let alone any of my others... but I shall fix at least one of those tonight... before I sleep.

On another note it shouldnt have taken this long at all but helios, consider your sheet accepted. Go make an intro post and ill see about getting you an event tonight if sarz or kad doesnt beat me to it.

[Nib]

Are you accepting new players?

[Gat]

Always mate. Which style of character were you looking at?

[Nib]

Possibly a Grey Jedi who has disguised himself as a pirate captain or a Sith.

For the infantry training skills like sniper training and whatnot, do I have to buy the skill for how many snipers I want or just once to have snipers?

If you are referring to custom units then what you basically do is design your own unit, so if you add sniper training to them, then each unit you buy will have sniper training.

Basically you could make a custom units like this:
Mooks A:
Basic Blasters
Heavy Weapons

^ Those units are heavy weapons trained

Mooks B:
Basic Blasters
Heavy Weapons
Sniper Training

^ and those can both use heavy weapons and sniper training

[Gat]

Unit of course meaning 10 men, or 5 if they have commando ranking. you buy it for the whole unit though not each man in the unit.

[Nib]

Alright. Now if I buy the company upgrade, that means I get more units with training?

Let's use an example. It always helps. I'll go with a simple type of unit just to save on the maths :p

We have 2 units.

1 Generic. 1 Skilled.

Both have the same skillset.

Basic Blasters
Special Weapons
Personal Armour.

A unit of 10 (Standard Unit) would be 20 Points for the Generic troops, or 40 for the Skilled Troops.

We then apply a Platoon or Company modifier.

Generic Platoon : 80 Points for 45 men. (5 more than the same cost in basic units)
Skilled Platoon: 160 Points for 45 men. (as above)

Generic Company: 240 Points for 180 men. (4 Platoons) If you spend it on 12 Generic 10 man units you'd only have 120 men.
Skilled Company: 480 Points for 180 men. (As above basically)

EDIT:

The downside with Platoon or Company sized units is they have to be used as Platoon or Company sized units, you can't sub-divide them, they're trained to operate in those groups.
