Replacing Non-tracked Personnel casualties
Add to "Force Tracking (Unit Commander)", page 25
A few personnel types are not tracked on an individual basis by AtB and the Marketplace system. These personnel include: infantry, Battle Armor infantry, DropShip and JumpShip crews. This is not intended as an exhaustive or exclusive list. For each personnel casualty suffered on the battlefield (an infantry box marked off, a Battle Armor soldier who takes their last point of damage), roll 1d6. On a 1-3, the person is killed in action. On a 4-6, the person is wounded and returns to duty in 28 days (4 weeks) from the date of the injury. A person can be assigned to a Unit-level Doctor to reduce this time to 14 days (2 weeks); each Unit-level doctor can provide care for 10 non-tracked personnel, but cannot simultaneously care for tracked and non-tracked personnel types.
If a non-tracked person is killed, they can be replaced by the Unit CO. No roll is required; the person is automatically replaced once the Unit CO spends the required time and money. Each non-tracked person requires a replacement cost of 10,000 CBills to the unit, and is replaced 21 days after the money is paid (this time is representative of their being trained into the unit and adopting the required standards required). Obviously, the suit of Battle Armor would have to be replaced as well, at normal list price.
Finally, note that element commanders (platoon leaders, etc) are in fact tracked by AtB and are not covered by these rules. The element commander is ALWAYS the last casualty taken, and if they are eliminated on the battlefield no d6 roll for "wounding" is made; the entire element is considered destroyed and is removed permanently from the campaign. Replacing the unit requires a new element commander to be hired from the Marketplace.
