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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Easily exploited by running low cost recon lances with high leadership characters, then spawning your heavy lances in support.
