Mechwarriors: Kavallerist starting rank Sergeant 3 drops Fanjunkare 6 drops Forvaltare 9 drops 1 per Lance Fanrik* Lance XO 1 per Lance Lojtnant* Company XO or Lance CO 1 per Lance Kapten* Battalion XO or Company CO 1 per Company Major* Battalion CO 1 per Battalion *Officer Rank NOTE: Non-officer ranks (enlisted ranks) have no intrinsic responsibilities beyond general participation. Forvaltare is assigned on a "first past the post" basis. Ties are settled by the first character to gain a drop number advantage. Fanriks are the ones primarily responsible for acquainting new players with Megamek game mechanics. They are also acting Lance CO for their lance when their Lojtnant is unavailable. Lojtnants are responsible for organizing their lance as required and coordinating their drops with the GM. They are also expected to stand in for Fanrik responsibilities as required. The Kapten is expected to assist the GM in all matters as required. Generally speaking, the Major can be considered the GM. Retired characters retain ranks, however, officers may be demoted upon reactivation as required (active members take rank preference). IF YOU MEET ABOVE REQUIREMENTS, POST RANK REQUESTS IN YOUR ASSIGNED LANCE THREADS.
