2T

 What does the 2T stand for? I do not see an explanation anywhere in section 7.5.

[7.5] Fortification & Facility Construction

Medium Forts: 100 wu, 2T and 1 pp per 2
Medium Forts are basically extremely badass Picket Forts, with excellent sensors coupled with armament capable of being a serious threat to Capital Ships. They can carry up to 25DP of aircraft and have the Cargo Capacity half that of an equal tech Superfreighter

2 turns for construction. I guess that is a wee bit obscure.

Do we need pop for ports? I needed a port on the second continent, but wanted most of my pop in the interior. Also, do you have any commentary on how I distributed my facilities?

As of now, no, but you do need industry since the I level determines how large of a port you can have.

A good distribution, but your Cargo throughput is very weak. if someone declared war on you you would be severely crippled. Your resources, industry,  and military would be immobilized due to logistics jams. You may wish to increase that quite a bit. Take a look at what I have for Albion on the Spreadsheet I sent you. that will give you some idea of what would be a good beginning Transport net.

And in war, as the GM, I will be watching TNs REAL careful like.

I posted the combat rules. Haegan, let me know if that example of combat was sufficient.  

[Haegan2005]

Skilled Infantry:  per 10,000
+1 armor, +1 weapons, +1 shields

The land calc is:

Land:
(number of troops)x(training)x(1.00+sum of combat modifiers)+(combat bonuses/penalties)= Land Combat Rating

So my Inf has a LCR of :
10,000x2x4+0=60,000?

[Haegan2005]

total of 88 NP spent on units. Zero left. NP sources are as follows:

Space Dweller- 20pts
Large Population ? 5pts
Heavy Industry ? 5pts
High finance ? 5pts
Nuke Free Zone + 30pts
Patent Office + 5pts
Ancient Dangers +25pts

ideas?

Without any combat modifiers it is 20K The Caps have differing combat values depending on tech levels and what they do.

So lets set up what your 10K inf would look like.

10K {soldiers} x2 {training} x(1.00 {base} +1.75 {+1 Weapons} +1.00 {Armor} +.75 {Shields}) +0 {bonus/penalty} = 90K
Total Combat Rating of your Infantry = 90K

Now you see why I said Capping a Unit to the max is VERY good. It may take a lot of resources and time to build, but as you can see, the Caps are huge force modifiers.  

[Þórgrímr (OP)]

You will want to set up what you have in production.  

[Haegan2005]

Yes, very useful. I need to figure out where my troops are and what I want to be making.

I posted the combat rules. Haegan, let me know if that example of combat was sufficient.  

[Þórgrímr (OP)]

Yes, quite informative. I need to figure out where my troops are.

Yup, it is quite important to have the proper garrisons on hand, ask the Franks all about that.  

[Haegan2005]

It was a well designed example. It sucks to be the Franks about now. The loss of a large naval presence and the absolute destruction of a city and its industrial potential :wink:  As an aside, in that example all the Franks would have needed for the siege to be unsuccessful was to have a proper garrison present.

As it was, the Albionese damn near came close to being stalled. Surprise and overwhelming force made up for their lack of siege weapons or artillery. And if they had been stalled, the reacting army the franks sent after the decoy force could have reacted back into that region and then it would have been a different story all together.  [/quote]

[Haegan2005]

I have looked at the pregame setup and I se Albions in production figures, but there is no reference to where I amay go to find out how to do this.

For instance, my shipyard has only two slips that support up to CA size ships. If I have a block of freighters in production they can only make two at a time?

I recall something about the Army depot being able to train 10 units at a time? Can we consolidate this into an easy reference annex?

[Haegan2005]

As a side note, do I have rocket manufacturies? or do I need to spend a NP on this?
