Formations

All formations consist of an HQ and five units. They vary in size between a brigade of five battalions, a corps of five regiments, and an army of five divisions.

Formations must first be discovered, and then researched, or operationalized. Discovery is not possible until at least one model for each relevant Model Type has been created. For example, just discovering artillery is not sufficient to be able to discover the Siege Infantry formation. A model of artillery must be designed before the formation can be discovered.

Independent units are not part of a formation and do not require anything from the council. They are automatically added to the list as the relevant Model Types are created.

Buggies and Motorbikes are only available in any formations, and are only available as independent units.

Key Words

"Motorized" means trucks have been added to the formation to increase mobility. This comes at the cost of the formation requiring twice as many soldiers, and some fuel will be required for movement. Trucks use wheeled movement and do not participate in combat.

"Mechanized" means APCs have been added to the formation. In addition to filling the same role as trucks, APCs participate in combat, adding to the unit's firepower. One the downside, this means APCs will often be destroyed when trucks would not be. They also use more fuel than trucks. APCs use tracked movement, thus providing superior mobility than trucks on rough terrain.
