Vengeance Gambit: En Garde, FedSuns Setup

Cwat, seems like Jon is almost ready. Here are your restrictions for your force build.

Your restrictions:
Up to one reinforced company, or 12-16 units(mechs, vehicles, infantry, BA)
BV: 20000

The Defender consists of elements of the following forces:
• 1st Davion Guards (in reality, these are the remnants of the 1st BoG, NA Cavaliers, and 2nd NAIS Cadre - with perhaps a smattering of 10th Lyran Guard and a lone 5th Donegal Guardsman)
• 3rd Davion Guards
• Davion Heavy Guards
• Davion Assault Guards
• 12th Vegan Rangers, Beta Regiment

The Defender consists of 125% of the Attacker’s total force. All units are of Regular skill level, with one of every four units being of Veteran Skills. In addition, the Defender may field one Legionnaire BattleMech for every four units, up to a maximum of four. GM’s may use any combination of the 1X or 2X designs as they see fit. The Legionnaires follow the same skill assignment and should be included as part of the Defender’s total force.

Like Jon, you have two options available to increase your combat power. However, you'll have to wait for Jon to decide if he's going to use them. In the meantime, I can tell you to prepare a Davion assault lance, just in case. This assault lance's BV does not count towards the 20,000.

Jon, can submit your forces by Wednesday evening? Thanks!

Update: Cwat, Jon is using both his options, so you also have two options to use. Here they are.

Prepared Defenses: The Defender may place one Medium Level 1 building with two SRM platoons of Regular skill level anywhere on the playing area for every 12 Attacking units. These buildings do count towards the CF total during the setup phase and for objective purposes. These infantry must be placed inside these building hexes at the start of the game.

Leading the Charge: Jackson Davion and his Command Lance arrive in time to take control of the battle. Each unit is an Assault BattleMech and has Elite skills. Jackson Davion has a skill set of 2 Piloting and 1 Gunnery. Jackson Davion’s ride is a BLR-4S BattleMaster. Additionally, if Jackson is actively participating in the battle (i.e. not crippled, destroyed or killed), the Davion force may automatically win initiative one time. This ability can only be used once during the entire Vengeance Gambit game.

In addition, Jon's 12 units have a BV of about 15900, with an additional 15814 from his elite reinforcing Level II. His total BV is 31714. For your force breakdown, you should have roughly 20,000 for your 12-16 units, and then an additional 16000 for Jackson Davion's elite command lance. In case you find yourself with extra BV leftover from the command lance, you may transfer the balance to the 20,000(16 units) to make up the numbers.
