Editing Unit Designations and Distinctions (section)

===='''Irregular Units'''====
'''''Irregular Unit''''' has many of the opposite virtues of a regular unit but has some advantages compared to them as well.  
*They tend to be more loose, leaving stragglers behind as fighters move at their own speeds.  
*They may not follow orders reliably, either from their own commanders or from commanders outside their group.  This may be expressed as an unwillingness to recognize the army chain of command. Some irregular units may have little or no command structure of their own.
*They may break into smaller disorganized groups that pursue different targets.
*The advantages they have is that being flexible, they can be broken into units and sent to handle flankers or wolf pack units.  
*A Regular Unit may be focused on its objective and may miss a developing situation.  Irregular units, by their nature, look around their area more often and may see a shift in battlefield situations quicker then a Regular Unit. 
*A unit comprised of fighters unfamiliar with each other such as a group collected from unaligned fighters during the establishment of sides on the day of battle. 

''Calling a unit ''Irregular'' may be seen as an insult but it is a judgment based on the units infrastructure.  If a unit or a unit leader argues this designation it can often mean they do not see the problems that make the designation accurate.  Also it needs to be stressed that this is only one part of their over all unit description and it is one that can be changed with training.''
