Er, I feel compelled to put a chit in for the female Elite Heavy MechWarrior.  Take a guess which one.  I don't NEED the MechWarrior, per se, but I don't trust the lot of you jackals to have that warrior otherwise.

Oh, and the mechanized wheeled infantry platoon is a Rifle Platoon. I can't zoom the window in AtB far enough out to see the whole line.

Chit noted, though no guarantees you'll get it. 

One question: is there any reason / advantage to recruit the Elite Hyperspace Navigator?  It would seem like a good pickup, but even with our Jumpship crew I'm not seeing a space for her.

As for the Rifle Platoon, at this point we're capped on Infantry I believe.  We have 2 platoons standard infantry - foot and mechanized plus the Battle Armor.

As a general note I expect the Elite pilots will be in demand.  While I'll do roll offs for them, I'm not intending for any individual lance to get more than one.

Chits:
Robbie von Hoff - Elite Mech Pilot - Freya, Midnight, Phoenix
Fisto Machismo - Elite Mech Pilot - Phoenix
Orkut Comert - Elite Mech Pilot - Phoenix
Annie McDaniel - Elite LAM Pilot - Midnight
Milena Muslini - Veteran Vehicle Driver - Unit

[Ad Hoc]

Bright chits for Elite heavy mech pilots Von Hoff and Machismo (Only has 6 pilots if that makes a difference. Also understands could only get one)

Wolverine chits for Elite heavy pilots Von Hoff and Machismo (Has 7 pilots but no Elite, Also understands could only get one)

Reaper no chits

[Ice]

honestly I shouldnt need any other pilot at the moment

THe elite light was only consideration but I cross trained one of my veterans so its not terrible

[Hat]

Chits need to be in by the end of Oct 31st with rolls made on Nov 1st to assign personnel as needed.  If I get everyone checked in ahead of that, I'll provide a day from that point and then close the first round on the market.

As a general note I expect the Elite pilots will be in demand.  While I'll do roll offs for them, I'm not intending for any individual lance to get more than one.

No chits: Dancer, Ice, Reaper, Skaraborg

One question: is there any reason / advantage to recruit the Elite Hyperspace Navigator?  It would seem like a good pickup, but even with our Jumpship crew I'm not seeing a space for her.

As I recall, the better your hyperspace navigator, the less chance AtB generates problem issues during jumps, and a greater chance AtB generates positive outcomes during jumps. I don't know what those rules are, if any, because they're buried in the code and aren't in the documentation.

As for the Rifle Platoon, at this point we're capped on Infantry I believe.  We have 2 platoons standard infantry - foot and mechanized plus the Battle Armor.

Oh, there's a reminder for 4-1.  Battle Armor and Infantry are different things; the cap described in the rules is specifically for infantry, not for Battle Armor (which requires Techs, among other things).  There's a separate cap for BA, which needs to be added.

Which also means that you only have 2 platoons out of your allowed 4.

Pass

Chit for Fisto Machismo... (cost for a legal name change?)

If I don't get him, then also a chit for the LAM pilot, Annie McDaniel

Ok.  There hadn't been any navigators listed at all for our Jumpship so I wasn't even sure if that was something to recruit for.  Happy to get a positive bonus.  Added.

Ah.  Gotcha.  Ok, Elite Platoon added.  I'm curious to see how much BA is permitted and whether we'll be able to request additional BA from GDL.

Right now the Rangers are officially at 4 Companies of Mechs, 2 platoons of infantry, 1 Company of BA, roughly a company of vehicles and a squadron of Aerospace, so roughly 2 Battalions total strength with just a single squadron in support.

There's a part of me that would like to get the Rangers to a single combined arms regiment.  Realistically that would require the ability to add more infantry and battle armor, more Aerospace support and an upgrade somewhere along the lines of Dropships as our current transport couldn't carry it.  Getting an Excalibur would definitely help.  I need to think more on what role our non-Mech forces typically play from an in game perspective.  Is there a specific force doctrine tied to the limits you've provided to guide what and how we should be looking to utilize those forces as something other than target practice for missions?  I'd like to figure out what makes sense to pick up that matches in universe needs / expectations with the tactical tabletop efforts.  Thoughts?

Added.  Just waiting to hear back from Steve.

No chits, although Ms. Comert would be very useful.
