Rules Discussion: Expansion to Neutral Worlds

[SWSF Hoppus]

On my phone, but most player worlds wont have more than 10-15k troops and 40 gav. Something to think about

I agree with the concept of a "realistic" disposition of units to some extent, but the system will surrender either way when 75% of its ground forces are killed. The shift from 40 Heavy Infantry to 46 Mixed Infantry doesn't really give the system a strong deterrent capability (standard infantry do 0 damage to vehicles). I'm basing all of this on the 3D Doctrine.  At the end of the day, it's just a template -- so players can modify as they wish. I would only temper/check any modifications with what you or any other player would actually use to defend our worlds, and go from there. In that context, I doubt we'll see Conscripts, ever.

Fair enough on the deterrence issue.

Seems like we need some hard to wipe out Guerrilla units that linger after occupations...

You know I wouldn't object that...  After all, I proposed capture scenarios where the planetary income was reduced for a month or 3...  That'd probably be the easiest way to simulate that kind of thing, along with a continued requirement to have troops that will die.
