All Google Docs and Custom mech thread updated for Wolverine and Bright.

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.

I'm waiting on the full list from Rob and will put them all up at once.

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.

[Hat]

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.
