Please update the following shared forms with your post KESTREL mech and personnel status. The Master Personnel Skills sheets cover your lance Mechwarriors with their character stats and all of your personnel for XP and abilities. I have added a highlighted box to the left of each lance for you to indicate you have updated your lance on both personnel and mech tracking sheets. Once you have made your changes, including the post mission losses (See http://forums.cincybattletech.com/index.php?topic=1154.msg19236#msg19236), please enter Yes or TRUE into the highlighted box.
Master Personnel Skills: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LxHSicRuJkKJ6FgoP-qSbvmQybpoqjFBDC5F8c8ZAT8/edit?usp=sharing This form is freely updateable. As you add XP and change your skills/SPAs, PLEASE change the form to match. Also note that piloting and gunnery are in skill bonus not P/G format so a 3 gunner is a +5 (entered as '+5) and a 4 pilot is a +4.

I think I caught most of the changes for the last 5 lances, but I am less certain.
-
Phoenix is up to date. No retirements or additions. Lost the one Marauder and with a Marauder and Hornet prior to salvage distribution.
-
Reaper is up to date. Bright should unless there is failed retirement rolls.
-
Skaraborg noticed a fired pilot was on the master TOE. Updated.
-
All, here's the current unit information as of May 14th.
-
Comparing google doc to xls doc the following updates are needed.
Bright Lance

Sadaquat Elite
Mattingly Vet
Wansey Vet
Boggs Vet
Rommel Reg
Marsh Green
Reaper Lance
Mech Warriors
Edmondson med/heavy
Fenwick med/heavy
Techs

Mike, thanks for the updates. Does Wolverine lance still have the following techs?
Jasmine Ki-rin
Francesca Turner
Brenda Khalil
They're all listed as Regular, so not sure if you ignored them because they were correct or omitted them because they're no longer with his lance. I've updated the Excel doc otherwise.

Remove Natalie Boyle from the TO&E please (KIA, 5/9/50)
I'm doing my line-by-line update now.
-
OK, line-by-line complete.
There are several holes in the TO&E which need to be filled in, and there's a fair number of lances which are clearly not up to date. For example, Phoenix Lance is still only a 2-person lance, though a heavy mech pilot was generated the other night (and the Malthus's name isn't filled in). Daniel Vincent has no Mech Type. Several names are in red (Jannet Birnie, in the admin section, for example) and I don't know why.
We're going to figure out everything until the end of August, and then everyone is going to post a complete TO&E breakdown of their lance, again, so I can get everything on track. Remember, if your experience levels are off, that messes with salaries, which messes with total pay.

There are some errors in the doc for my lance
Robert story has duel class Med/Heavy and 1 edge

Jon will have to answer why some names are in red.

I had meant at the end of August so all of the Marketplace stuff would be accounted for, but ok, fine.

Jannet Birnie Veteran Admin/HR - Rerolled at +5 (20,000 + 50,000 cbills) for sure thing
Those were the people who failed their initial retirement rolls and had to be seduced into remaining with the unit.
They succeeded on reroll and can be returned to black.

It's nice to know you're working towards a character that can take over if Atayde bites it. That will give us a couple of characters as options.

well it was going to be but even if I hadnt dropped the gunnery pilot to 3/3 i wouldve had to leave it at like 5/5 or worse to hit everything where it needed to be .... rolls were not entirely in my favor at all but it came out ok
working on the back story etc so will be posted soonish

Highlander updated.

ZEU-6S Zeus refitted to ZEU-6T

Dan, when does Skaraborg reveal it's newest addition? If you're planning on doing that in the IC discussion, that's cool, just want to figure out when Atayde is informed of the surprise.
-
Basically around the "OH GOD BIRDS INCOMING" briefing. Needed to make sure it was repaired first. Be kinda embarrassing to write something up and the technical staff ruins two heads.
I thank the ghost of our former CO Patrick Swayze'ing the technical crew - that went better than expected

(basically I'm trying to create meaningful dialogue in character and see how badly you want my skull added to the throne of bones you rule from)
LOL. Rob did you a favor by giving me a heads up and a chance to think about this. Atayde's personality isn't well defined, or rather perhaps there is flexibility in how certain traits get interpreted. And to be fair, he did spend most of his formative years in the CC. There'll be a price, but you'll get to enjoy the new toy. We'll find a way to make it work IC. Now, pull that stunt again without telling him and things would be much worse.
-
Colonel Saltier's ghost may or may not have approved of the tactic as "research" into enemy operational requirements.
-
XO is more concerned at the task at hand. Do whatever you want, just do not compromise us doing so.

On the National Treasure quote, uh no, or at least not in context. I don’t see an overriding altruistic motive tied to a willingness for self sacrifice as the driving force here.
Now from the bold “it can’t be done†“your only saying that because no one ever has†perspective, ok.

Hey, can I ask a favor for the next update? I need the Mechs with their name listed first, and the model number listed afterwards.
So instead of:
WHM-6R Warhammer
please list it as:
Warhammer WHM-6R
The latter is how Mechs are listed in the Hangar in the AtB program, and being able to go down the list in alphabetical order when I do my line-by-line updates would be a huge help. As it stands now, there's just enough differences (due to the 3-letter codes not lining up with the alphabetical names) between our TO&E and AtB that the line-by-line is a real issue and time sink.

Google Docs Mech tracking sheet has been updated to your preferred format. As a side note, some designations are identical between lances though the configs are likely different.

Skaraborg lance updates:
Calvert purchases Melee Spec and Fist Fire
Kronwall purchases sniper.

The next mission will be after the October Marketplace ticks over, so if you have something you want to do in September, do it ASAP and let us know about it.

The Unit will be ordering bombs and spare parts, likewise Midnight will be ordering spare parts. Nothing that should affect this thread. I've been sick and leave tomorrow for Origins, so not sure that the warehouse threads will get updated before early next week.

Dragon sold Loki F after stripping all the parts that were possible.

Unit TO&E updated to Sept 19, 3050 (attached)
Known changes to mechs and personnel added to Google Docs
-
Unit TO&E Updated to Oct 1, 3050
File attached
Notable additions:
2 ASF + pilots brings us to full complement
1 Elite Foot rifle infantry platoon (total infantry, 2 platoons)
1 Doctor to cover the new infantry platoon
Full strength and unit readiness status to be done and provided after leaving Sudeten.
As a reminder, individual lance commanders are responsible for updating the Google docs sheets with all equipment and personnel changes. I have enough to do without doing that for you.
-
REMINDER: All custom mechs need to be fully written up and added to the Custom Mech thread.
-
Unit TO&E file updated for all unit assets EXCEPT transfer of Grand Dragon to Crusher. All PC Lance information will be updated once players update the appropriate online spreadsheets to reflect post retirement personnel and equipment.
The only outstanding change I am considering are additional payouts to Dancer, Freya and Midnight which took losses on Sudaten without any real salvage or replacements.
This done, I can take a look at Midnight and will get that posted when I can.

Ad Hoc: Thanks for the catch on the Rifleman. Added. I still need to add in the salvage from Mission 1 and will do that as a group, potentially tonight and post. I still need to get the Clint repaired as part of it as well.
-
I just checked TO&E for Bright Lance. He has a Rifleman RFL-5M that didn't get added and he just received an Awesome AWS-8Q.
So does that mean someone else gets the awesome ;D

Damn having an awesome would be nice for my pilot
the marauder is just a mini awesome and wanted to get 4 on there ;D

I just noticed that Rob made my new lance leader an elite pilot. I am unsure if this was a mistake on his end, or added something in my favor. Just wanted to clarify I ended as a 3/3 and not a 2/3 pilot.
Talked with Rob already, he posted Hitzig as Elite by mistake. Just needs to be updated in TO&E.
Joe Duckworth needs to be added to roll of honor (5/9/3050, first clan mission) Regular, Heavy.

Ok, I've got the TO&E and the Sheets mostly synced up. I've got 2 outstanding questions:
Freya - who is the 2IC?
Dancer - You have a Shadow Hawk 2D still, correct?
-
All, with the addition of the Overlord we have more mechs that can be transported in bays and far less in storage. Each lance will be given six mech bays to use. Any remaining mechs will be transported as storage on the Triumph. The remaining 6 bays will be used for Unit Reserve (4), As needed (2).
To keep things simple, in the Mech Tracking sheet, put either YES meaning Bay or NO meaning Storage.
Lance assignments to dropships will be done per Operation based on role. Scout + part of Defend on the Overlord, the rest on the Dictator. All personnel of a lance are assumed to be on the same dropship as their mech bays.
If you have any questions or concerns with this, let me know.
-
I am going to change my chain of command within my Lance here after rolls are made with new pilot. Just want to make sure it will be to one and not the new pilot based on Tactics and Strategy skills.

HAT
Sosana O'Nery (Green mech Tech, currently 26 y/o) needs to be added on the TO&E as a member of Ice Lance. She was added in the July 51 Marketplace and just got left off.

Oh yeah, I probably should have shared this with Hat sooner:
Overlord Crew (43 total):

Officers (3; Regular) - $5,400 CB total
Crew (39; Regular) - $58,500 CB total

5/13/3052
Dragon Lance lost Archer (Cored)
Will start healing both pilots shortly (both are OOC for the time being)

The TO&E is updated and attached. Of all non-Mech units involved in the action, only the Marksman received damage, and that damage was fully repaired in time for deployment (if permitted) for Mission 3. Discussion at the game indicated that the Stuka was not available. Review the AAR from Mission 1, things were certainly damaged but no mention of the Stuka being shot down was noted. Given the extreme lag between mission 1 and mission 2 and being unable to determine a clear disposition, I will operate under the assumption that it was shot down and pilot killed. Equipment removed from TO&E and CPO Kazu Sakai added to the Roll of Honor.

On discussion with several people regarding Battle Value and upgraded units, and taking some time to run maths, the Lance BV Cap is RAISED to 7,500, effective immediately.
Don't expect for it to be raised again for a VERY long time.

Hat, can you please give me a list of the currently active ASFs in the unit? I have 7 ASF active in my AtB, and the unit has a cap of 6 ASFs active at any given time.
It's my recordkeeping error.

It's my recordkeeping error.
1 Stuka, 2 Stingray, 2 Transits and 1 Shilone I believe. I’ll confirm tonight when I can get back on my laptop.
-
Also, I NEED to know if every single entry in the Mech Tracking Google Doc is up to date, with at least the chassis and "upgraded or not".
I need to go through AtB and clean up the Mech hangar, and that means I'll be deleting stuff. Since the stuff you have affects your Dragoons Rating and thus your pay, I'd like to delete the correct things out of the hangar.
EDIT: GO HERE and fix your stuff. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Pzov1Rq5byU-mZRHHJa0WKU6ME3zPw3HYvt5cIj1Ig/edit?usp=sharing
-
Unit role assignments updated in the first post of the thread. Any concerns or requests for changes, let me know.
-
Bright, Reaper, and Wolverine mechs update of chassis and custom. This is what they will be after customization and rolls.
-
Dancer google doc/mechs updated.
-
Dragon lance still done. Just contemplating on what to do with Thor.
-
OK, I've updated the AtB hanger for everyone but Crusher, but that's easy enough to do later and it won't really affect contract pay. The unit is a solid A rating (135), and couple points in either direction won't affect anything.
Incidentally, Hat, can you please make sure Ryan knows that the Marauder IIC is an ASSAULT Mech, not a heavy Mech? He has no assault pilots in his lance, and has passed by several on the marketplace, so I have a feeling he thinks that it's a 75 tonner.
-
The Marauder IIC will be his personal mech as it’s still a command mech and PCs can pilot anything unless I missed something.

Ok, just checking.

Rob, looking at the Excel sheet from just before Tukayyid, it calculated our Dragoon rating at 142. Can you help me understand what I’ve got wrong in it if anything? Not sure if it’s mostly the equipment changes or if the Battle Armor is dragging us down or what.

Sure. Here you go.
Note that I can't change *any* of these values, so even if AtB is wrong, it's still right, and our spreadsheet is wrong.

Any idea why it’s saying we need 7 aerospace fighter slots?

No.

Any idea why it’s saying we need 7 aerospace fighter slots?
To expound, it wouldn't make any difference anyhow. Transportation rating is based on the percentage of your units which go in Bays, instead of Cargo, and only counts in 5% increments. So getting rid of that 1 ASF slot MIGHT move you guys from 77% to 78% transported, but it won't make a difference in your rating until you hit 80%, so right now it's a moot point.
-
For the Aerospace fighter, it looks like it thinks we've got another 65T fighter. Do we have 2 Shilone's listed perhaps?
Maintenance is a topic we'll want to address before next contract or confirm it's working as you intend for unit assets.

Upon a restart of AtB, it no longer thinks we need 7 ASF bays. IIRC, I'd deleted a 7th ASF from the hangar during the previous session of AtB (this afternoon, once everyone had checked in on the google doc), so what I suspect happened is that AtB simply didn't live-update the Dragoons Rating during the previous session, but recalculated it when I loaded a new session. It doesn't have any impact on your Dragoons Rating anyway. The 7th ASF was a Lucifer, incidentally.
And there's no point in discussing maintenance. Genuinely, there's no point, because unless you want to assign 1 Tech to EVERY Mech, ASF, and vehicle, and hard-lock them there, AND hire and track a full 6-man AsTech team for each Mech, you won't be in compliance with the FM:Mercs ruleset that AtB uses to calculate the Dragoons Rating. Maintenance can either be in compliance with the ruleset AtB uses and you get a more "correct" Dragoons Rating...or the campaign can be fun and playable. Pick one.
-
Fun and playable. Thanks for clarifying.

Ok, full unit roster, vehicle assignments, finances, etc. all up to date and attached as an Excel document to the first post of this thread. Midnight also done, just down to Phoenix.

So, just some notes on current unit status. Under Atayde's leadership we are at maximum PC lances (12, ([Admin or Beauracracy]x3 + 3)) and a maximum of 4 PC lances deployed on any given mission (Strategy 4). The only lance commander currently capable of handling more PC lances is Dragon (up to 18), and no one has a higher strategy. Getting Strategy to 5 would require 35 XP, Getting Admin to 4 would require 28 XP. Under current rules it's unlikely I will do either if it matters to folks. If someone else wants to build a CO character, here's what I would recommend planning on in order to fill that slot:
Strategy: 4+ or 5+ (5+ would allow for up to 5 PC lances)
Tactics: 4+ (5+ would be better and is where Atayde is)
Admin or Bureaucracy: 4+ (would allow for 15 PC lances)
Admin: 3+ (required to keep the same number of Admins, 4+ would add another 5)
Leadership: 3+ (required to get a reroll on the contract)
Negotiation: 3+ (required to get a reroll on the contract, Atayde is a 4+)
Scrounge: 3+ (matches Atayde, more would be better as it not only impacts your acquisition rolls, but the unit's as well)
Add Stats and Traits as appropriate for more scrounge attempts, Dragoon rating etc.
I'm still happy being the unit CO, but we're pushing up against my limits and so can play second fiddle to someone else as needed.
-
So long I do not continue dying to bs, I do not mind taking over if needed. Might ask you for help when needed on certain items, but have the time to deal with everything in a timely manner. Wasn't strategy capped at 4 though? I do not mind trying to up that next though if able to get it higher.

I'm not aware that Strategy is capped other than at 6 like other skills. As I mentioned offline, not looking to get rid of the Unit CO role, just not in a position to increase the number of PC lances or deployable lances.
-
Please add elite tech Meagan Kinnar, veteran tech luke cooper and green tech Sosanna O'Nery to wall of honor and remove or cross put on roster.

All,
Please make sure the Sheets document is updated with your mechs after the end of Mission 2. Devil lance still shows just it's original 4 mechs and salvage and other changes should be reflected from both missions 1 and 2.
Thanks.

Ok, I've finally gotten a unit organization proposal I'm happy with, especially as it addresses the swing in required lances per contract type. I'm looking for feedback including how to think about the Combat Vehicle slots.
Feedback accepted. Updated unit description in 1st post of the thread.
-
Unit structure and TO&E updated in 1st post of the thread.
-
Unit structure and TO&E updated in 1st post of the thread.
I've been slowly synching up AtB and the Unit Excel file at the top of the thread. Couple of questions:
1) You're 1 gunner short on the Marksman, according to AtB. Want to pull a general gunner from the motor pool?
2) You're 1 gunner short on the APC, according to the game rules. Want to pull a general gunner from the motor pool?
3) What happened to ASF pilot Beverly Yule? She doesn't appear on the Roll of Honor, and I can't find a record of her retirement. Not saying there *isn't* that record; I just can't find it.
Otherwise - allowing for the current marketplaces, everything checks out. Given the long delay in the campaign and the high level of turnover recently, that's tremendously fine work. I have two more things for you, Hat.
1) Can you please alphabetize by first name inside sections which aren't subdivided by Lances? For example, inside the Vehicle Crews or Administrator sections. Inside AtB, it alphabetizes whenever possible, so when I look at "all Admin/Command" personnel, the names in AtB would go "Anabel, Hector, Maria, Rolf", in that order, whereas they're currently "Anabel, Maria, Hector, Rolf" in the Excel file. Likewise, Vehicle crews get alphabetized *by vehicle* when you click on "Unit Assignment", and always list the DRIVER first, so the Partisan AD Tank, for example, lists Aidan Wright first (as the Driver), and then lists the gunners alphabetically (Cedric, Henry, Liza, Pierre, Rap), whereas the Excel document lists some vehicles with the Driver first (Partisan), others with the Driver last (Maxims), and never in any specific order.
2) You've done a goddamn fantastic job keeping up with this. Take +5 Command XP as a bonus and a thank you.
-
Beverly Yule retired at the end of ANGEL. I'd accidentally put the retirements for Aug 31 in the maintenance rather than warehouse thread. I did not attempt to retain her and she was paid her parting bonus.
APC - please assign Gunnhild Yamamoto from the motor pool to the APC Gunner position.
Marksman - reassign Brad Sovirivilla from LRM Carrier Gunner to open Marksman Gunner position.
LRM Carrier - reassign Tymosz Trzebiatowski from Maxim Gunner to open LRM Carrier position.
Maxim - reassign Anzelm Bilakowski from Wayland Motor Pool to open Maxim position.
Wayland - assign Finley Brower from Motor Pool to open Wayland position.
That should be all of them.
Reordering data:
Vehicle Crew, Infantry, Battle Armor, Unit Medical Staff, Unit Admin Staff & Support Services
Not reordered (harder to read given the groupings): Aerospace Fighter & Transportation Crews
Updated version added to first post and thanks for the command XP.

January 1, 3054, State of the Unit
Rangers,
I wanted to take a minute to report on the state of the unit. We have successfully reconfigured into a pair of SLDF Reinforced Battalions. We still have some gaps to close in order to reach full planned strength within the constraints of what our transports will bear. The end of 3053 saw us in improved financial shape with cash on hand slightly exceeding 135MM C-Bills. This is up from just under 97MM C-Bills at the same time in 3052.
From an equipment perspective after the market here in January we will be missing just one planned combat vehicle, though will still be looking for 7 support vehicles. I was able to acquire a MASH truck at standard rates. Vehicle details below. For Aerospace fighters, we have replaced the Stuka and Shilone with an extra Stingray and Transit each. Speed profiles match allowing for the one mixed lance deployment. All three of the Stingrays have been upgraded to the newer F-92 models, taking advantage of the local engineering expertise and facilities.
Battle Armor is an area of need, though need is perhaps a strong term. Fortunately I've been in touch with Colonel Carlyle of the GDL and they've agreed to continue to supply us with additional suits. We'll be able to purchase a squad a month meaning it will take 15 months for us to reach our target compliment of 3 platoons, perhaps longer depending on transit times.
We still have room for one more platoon of infantry, but I want to be choiceful in that selection. Major Bray has some ideas as does Major Kronwall who's requesting field guns. We'll see what makes sense.
Our largest outage at this point is personnel. We're still short one aerospace pilot. Neither Captain Clark or myself have found a strong candidate. Our largest outage is with vehicle crews. We are expanding slowly as we're looking for soldiers who will fit in with the Rangers, but may need to look for raw recruits to help fill things out. Fortunately as the bulk of our fighting strength is in our 'Mech Battalion, we have flexibility on timing for the vehicle crews.
This year saw the addition of an excellent hyperspace navigator and our naval assets and personnel remain a strength.
I feel the Rangers are well positioned to take on the Cavalry missions around which we've been designed as well as branch out to other promising contracts on a limited basis when a good fit.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about our readiness or status.
Sincerely,
Colonel Kato Yamamori Atayde, Commanding Officer, Numenorean Rangers
Appendix: Combat Vehicle Plan
Combat Vehicle Lances
1. Artillery (Long Tom, Marksman, Thumper, Partisan Air Defense Tank)
2. Indirect Fire Support (Chapparal, Rhino, LRM Carrier, SRM Carrier)
3. Harrasser (2 Saladin, 1 Pegasus, 1 Demolisher (Gauss))
4. Transport (Target: 4 Maxims)
For support vehicles we have been able to add a MASH truck. This brings our support vehicles to the following:
MASH
Sherpa
Engineering Vehicle
Paramour
Wayland
In an ideal world we would add more repair vehicles like the Paramour and Wayland. Right now, they're not being produced, but will continue to look for them.

Ok, the newest version of the TO&E (Jan 1, 3054) has been added to the first post in the thread. There are a number of changes and additions. The ones probably of greatest interest are the inclusion of 2 new tabs - "Unit Summary" and "Command Staff." The Unit Summary Tab has a snapshot of the unit as it is today. This includes finances, existing and planned personnel and equipment, Dragoon Rating, Command History and Organization. The fields there pull data from the appropriate sheets, so as the others are updated that snapshop will be the most accurate.
The second tab of interest is the Command Staff tab. Here is a list of all current and former lance commanders, when they joined and departed, how many and which awards each have earned as well as a contract history. You can use the list of awards for your character to build your ribbon rack using the document Rob posted in the other thread if you're interested.
The personnel tab includes some filtering for easy sorting to help make Rob's life easier for managing AtB stuff. Finally the Roll of Honor should be up to date. If there's something missing let me know.
As a reminder, I do my best to keep up with all of your changes. It's a bit of a tedious pain in the ass to reconcile everything in the TO&E with the materials in Google sheets. If there are discrepancies I need to try and track down where and why. Please do your part and keep your lance up to date on Google Sheets AND update the DATE next to the appropriate section, so I have some idea when it's last reviewed.
If nobody looks at the TO&E, cool. Just keep your Google Sheets up to date and everything will be fine. Oh, and make sure all of your custom mechs are posted and accessible as well. With all the factory time I expect a number of them need to be swapped out.

TO&E Updated to June 24, 3054 and includes all posted updates.
Rob: Some vehicle crew assignments changed to improve quality of crews. Look at Sherpa, Thumper and Demolisher for specifics, though as requested, the section is sorted by name.
