These changes are intended to add an extra dimension to consider when building division templates, accentuating the value of interdisciplinary coordination. Mechanized Wave: Armored Car recon grants 1 max organization to all Leg Infantry battalions in division.Ĭentral Planning: Logistics Company adds 5% defense to all infantry battalions in divisionĪs mentioned above we have more planned for these, but this should serve as an indicative sample of what is coming. We’re still working on exactly how these will look, but here’s a sample of what we have planned:ĭispersed Support: Signal companies grant 10% defense to all Artillery battalions in divisionĪirland Battle: Standard recon grants 10% air attack to anti-air battalions in division While it may seem like a small change, this allows us to better represent the effects of certain doctrinal advancements or technologies, and adds a completely new dimension to consider when choosing support companies. Support companies can now confer multiplicative or additive bonuses to line battalions of specific categories within their own division.

We’ll go into the rationale behind this specific change later, but suffice it to say the following: Here, Engineers no longer begin by applying a flat bonus of 5 entrenchment - instead, their initial stats will grant a bonus of 0.25 entrenchment per Leg Infantry battalion in their division.Īs you can see, this bonus is not applied to the cavalry battalions I have so wisely placed in my infantry division. Ordinarily, engineers would grant a bonus of 5 entrenchment at their most basic level: here, we’re getting 2 (Ed: 2.25 actually… we’ll fix that in post).Īnd here, in a little more detail - is the breakdown of why.
