I'll claim rank table.

 

I'll work on the display pics...

 

New campaign file added to the folder called "SoR-Partycrasher08c_Ranks", includes the new custom rank structure and my ATTEMPT at assigning people to their proper rank. This will need double checking.

I've also placed a text document in DropBox that covers what the Ranks mean. It was placed in the "Campaign Information" folder.

 

Are you a lance commander? Have you received training at a military academy?

Also, for you vehicle people, I wasn't exactly sure in all cases who was the actual commander and whatnot, so I guessed. Hordac, I wasn't sure if you had crew or not, put you at Sergeant assuming you have a gunner.

 

Then, if you clear it through Magnus, you'd be a Sergeant.

 

We still need to look into the rank system a bit. Whatever Battletech may say, a common infantry platoon leader should not outrank a mechwarrior. Most likely, the addition of a basic mechwarrior rank (and aerospace) that is roughly equivalent to a senior NCO position would be most appropriate i think. I will be working on it tonight with Dihm.

Just spare parts and ammunition supplies; heat sinks, spare armor, jump jet equippment, weapons, etc. There is a big job in keeping track of just this and doing it so that everyone maintains combat effectiveness (those AC/20 users are particularly needy). Also, we will be limited to what our dropship can carry; ~450 tons of spare parts is actually quite limiting for a force our size.

 

No kidding, and just wait till people start wanting stupid Ferro armor, and we have to split our stocks.

 

Well, after this raid on Star's End... we'll have two dropships!

Also, I've got six photos already, but I think one or two might already be in Megamek... I have to check when I get home.

 

I have a working spreadsheet from weeks ago that will greatly speed up any efforts. It will need significant updating since we have greatly expanded in size. Should still be useful as a guide though.
