Retirement question.

From the rules......
"Each member is rolled for (the Unit CO is responsible for testing for generally-employed unit members such as Doctors and Admin staff), and on a 9+, the member wishes to leave the unit. Your Leadership score acts as a bonus to this roll. Players can prevent this from happening by spending CB on a retention bonus. As long as 20,000 CB are paid to the member, you can make a reroll for that unit member."

So with a PC leadership of 2, the TN 9+ retirement roll becomes TN 11+  ?  And there is no re-roll unless 20k CB is paid as cash incentive?

Adding to this question, does the CO's leadership contribute to unit rolls like lance leaders' does for their lance?

Hang on regarding retirement math.  I ported the rules from a 3rd party source (because the actual rules in AtB are insane; it's a base 4+ unless you pay $50k per point of roll bonus, and no rerolls are possible, and they have to leave with a Mech of higher current CB value than what they came in with), but this math coming out weird too as I run test cases.

You have until April in real-time, so don't start sweating yet.  I don't have a ton to do this week, so I'll make this a priority.

So...how does purchasing a replacement location work exactly?  I need to acquire an 80 ton head.  Does it come with all the parts and greeblies already on it?

According to the BMR each limb or head cost Tonnage x 2400
According to the Tech Manual, Cockpit is 200,000 Life support is 50,000 and sensors are Tonnage x 2000.
You can buy a head with everything preinstalled by just combining the prices.

Not everything.  You can buy the head with the SENSORS AND LIFE SUPPORT preinstalled.  Not the cockpit.



If you look at the 80ton Mech specifically, it's somewhat decieving, because the difference is exactly $200,000, which is the price of a standard cockpit, which is why the other Head locations are highlighted.  You can see the lower price (without anything pre-installed) as the value of simply the Head Location (3 IS and 6 critical slots).  THe higher price includes the combined costs of the lifesupport and sensor systems.

Did not know that. Need to do another roll then for that.

[deadlyfire2345]

What are the numbers and times for the cockpit alone then?

100,000 CB  TN 7

[deadlyfire2345]

Still trying to figure out TN and times for cockpit installation.

Use Timberwolf's repair calculator and select Relace Other Equipment in drop down. That will give TN and time.

alright so since its almost contract time

so 9+ plus my leadership of 2 makes a tn11+ so on 11 or 12 guy leaves

but prior to that i can spend 10k in increments to raise it by 1 per

so theoretically i can say add 20k force a reroll at worst case on 12+ or 30k and make it impossible to leave?

Further up the page Rob said he was going to revamp the retirement rules. I don't know if he ever got back to it or posted the revisions.

i was meaning if that ends up staying in place

i mean 9+ is hard to roll anyway and if you at least have +1 on leadership it is 10+ plus 10k per point means your not spending much more than 20k per person to get a favorable roll

[deadlyfire2345]

For technicians and doctors, how can their XP be spent? Is it only for improving their numbers or can I do more with them?
