New Feature

Brief Description of Enhancement *

There should be an option to utilize the old Leadership StratCon interaction instead of the new one.

Use Cases or Rationale

  1. The new Leadership StratCon interaction doesn't feel like it supports Combined Arms well. Getting 1K/ Leadership of anything makes it incredibly powerful, with some leaders bringing in entire additional lances of mechs for support. The older option that gave a single Vehicle per point made a lot more sense, as it supported combined arms more effectively, and didn't allow for as much abuse due to the inherent limitations of Vehicles.
  2. I understand that there was a wish to include Aero as an option, and perhaps the old option could be expanded to Aero assets, but allowing Mech Lances is quite powerful.
  3. For example - I have an assault lance with a commander that has 4 leadership, he can bring a full lance of elite mechwarriors in Medium mechs as additional support under the current system.
  4. The current usage makes Leadership by far the most valuable skill in the game. As a few points allows you to effectively double your forces against a scenario that was generated against the base value of the original lance.
  5. Easily exploited by running low cost recon lances with high leadership characters, then spawning your heavy lances in support.
