(It's not complete, but hopefully less of a mess now.)

Replacement Bn
Garrison Bn
Mobile Infantry Bn
Engineer Brigade
Brigade HQ
Assault Infantry Bn
Heavy Assault Bn
Division HQ
Replacement Bn

These are generally the most expensive units to build as well. When you start on a conventional setup you will need to research several ground combat techs to get to these units. don't remember the exact sequence right now but you will need the assault infantry before the armor for sure.

Replacement Battalions train new people to replace combat losses.
Engineers also dig up alien ruins.

I have some questions about ground units in aurora as the rules subforum is completely out dated and searching gives me the mechanics from almost 2 years ago
1. Unit bonus/special abilities
I know the engineer brigades function as construction factories, but are there any other bonuses for other units?
2. Replacement Battalion
what does this do? seems to me like the most useless ground unit.
3. Cadres
Which TN ground unit uses the infantry or armor cadre? I'm a little lost as i have a conventional start and the only units avaliable for research were INF.
4. Combat drop module- company
what exactly is one company in aurora? do the units split up on their own into individual companys on their own? I've never used this, but then I've never been in ground combat (nukes FTW
)
Thanks in advance.
