First post here.
So excited about the Aurora release, thanks Steve for sharing this awesome game with us. I know we're expecting a big patch soon, so I decided to try creating a standard Marine Rifle/ Expeditionary Unit in Aurora C#. Here's the first attempt
Rifle Company (Expeditionary)
Transport Size: 1 250 tons
Build Cost: 36. 8 BP
1x Company HQ
134x Rifle Infantry (G1 Assault Rifle)
30x Light Machinegun (SAW)
3x Infantry Mortar (60mm)
27x Rifle Grenadier
6x Light AT(Shiva AT Missile)
6x Medium Machinegun
Weapons Company (Expeditionary)
Transport Size: 1 250 tons
Build Cost: 42. 5 BP
1x Company HQ (Size 300)
78x Rifle Infantry (G1 Assault Rifle)
7x Rifle Grenadier
8x Battalion Mortar (80mm, Light)
4x Light AT(Shiva AT Missile)
6x Medium Machinegun (M240B)
4x Heavy Machinegun (HMG, 50cal)
4x TOW Launcher
4x 40mm Grenade Launcher
This is based on the current USMC TOE but modified slightly to fit into 1250 tons for the sake of standardization.
Here's the actual USMC Toe:
Rifle Company (Expeditionary)
Transport Size: 1 392 tons
Build Cost: 41 BP
166x Rifle Infantry (G1 Assault Rifle)
27x Light Machinegun (SAW)
3x Infantry Mortar (60mm)
27x Rifle Grenadier
1x Company HQ (Size 300)
6x Light AT(Shiva AT Missile)
6x Medium Machinegun (M240B)
Weapons Company (Expeditionary)
Transport Size: 1 431 tons
Build Cost: 48. 8 BP
1x Company HQ
105x Rifle Infantry (G1 Assault Rifle)
8x Battalion Mortar (80mm, Light)
4x Light AT(Shiva AT Missile)
6x Medium Machinegun
4x Heavy Machinegun (HMG, 50cal)
6x TOW Launcher
4x 40mm Grenade Launcher
Finally, Here are my Current Unit Classes (attached below, how the hell does one insert screenshots here?)
Note that I've simulated Rifle Grenades and SAWs as improved Infantry weapons (I wish there was something like Ultralight bombardment) . Also, My Shiva AT is the Carl Gustav(SMAW)/Javelin equivalent. I know Javelin packs a bigger punch but I just simulate them both as Man-portable Anti Tank systems.
No Tanks, IFVs or heavy Artillery yet. I'll try to post more later.
