Hey all,
So, for the aftermath of Weldry, as noted, all recovery costs will be borne by the Restoration, to include the replenishment of the Mechanized Infantry Platoon. You were told by Lady Arano of a potential DropShip that can be retrieved to ensure you remain combat-capable and can assist the Restoration, and while it's not exactly in good repair and cannot land on planets, it's better than nothing, and there's believed to be an old beat up Leopard that can be retrieved as well.
These ships are on Axylus, a relatively unpopulated moon out in the middle of nowhere, even for the Periphery. This ship, the Argo, and the Leopard are under the control of a pirate faction and are believed to be in a rather sorry state of repair, but still useful. The Argo and Leopard are believed to be used as part of the pirate's base, and so in addition to the pirate's armour and Mechs, the ship will need to be cleared as well.
To that end, now Force Sergeant Bugg has recommended bringing in additional infantry and raising the Roses' infantry contingent to company-strength, and potentially acquiring some armour as well to reinforce the lance and a half of Mechs the Roses currently have. As it currently stands, the Roses have 8,633,362 C-Bills in your reserve pool (only for maintenance, repairs, monthly operating costs, and so on), but has 22,434,589 C-Bills in the free use pool. Bringing on additional mechanized infantry platoons (3, to round out a full mechanized infantry company) would take 7,680,969 C-Bills, however talk was also made of Stealth Jump Platoons armed with lasers, which would cost 9,161,872 C-Bills per platoon.
If you guys wish to review what unit recruitment and purchases you'd like to make, masterunitlist.info is a good resource with some advanced filtering to narrow things down to available technology and units that you can recruit. If you wish to change out your current platoon for another, half of the purchase price of the Mechanized Platoon can be applied to the purchase of the new platoon (amounting to 1,280,161 C-Bills; the loss is to reflect the depreciation of the equipment sold off, and the cost of retraining your troops on whatever new equipment you purchase, and such). Since masterunitlist only shows the Alpha Strike stats, if you want to know the stats we'd be using of any of the units you might be interested in purchasing, let me know, and I can pull them out of Megamek for you to review. The cost in masterunitlist does appear to be consistent (or at least mostly) with MegaMek, and so that should be accurate, but I will also pass along the price just to confirm if there is any difference.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know here or in Discord.
