Editing Solas heroes Battleforce

== Notes ==
Models falling in tabletop games will not automatically reduce Esailia's crew rating, instead the crew rating will drop based on the Rogue Trader's margin of defeat. If the player's are victorious, they are assumed to "recruit" prisoners from the opponents force to cover their losses.<BR>
''' Independent Characters ''': These characters are too hardy to kill in the chaos of a large scale conflict, and as such will not die if they are removed from play. If their opponent is victorious, fallen characters will likely be captured and held for ransom or other appropriate plot device.<BR>

Force Organization<BR>
HQ: 2 Choices<BR>
Troop: 6 Choices<BR>
Elite: 3 Choices<BR>
Fast Attack: 3 Choices<BR>
Heavy Support: 3 Choices <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Acquiring additional equipment: Additional options may be added to force selections. For example, if Esailia's crew acquires a Squads worth (3-5) Heavy Bolters, they could give the Crewmen troop choice the option of adding one Heavy Bolter to the squad at +10 Points, or creating a new Heavy Support choice of Crewmen with a squad size of 5-10 who may take up to 5 Heavy Bolters. The latter option would have a 0-1 per army limitation because of the small number of the weapons acquired. Once a piece of equipment has been acquired and assigned to a squad or choice it may not be reassigned. Acquiring equipment for your forces covers getting them trained in using it.

=== Orbital Strike ===
0-1<BR>
Cost: 60 Points<BR>

Notes: Ordinance Blast, Pinning<BR>
''' Plotting ''': Orbital Strikes must be keyed to a specific terrain peice at the start of the battle. Make a note of the plotted point befroe forces are deployed but after deployment zones have been determined.<BR>
''' Timing ''': An Orbital Strike always uses the Reserve special rule even in missions where it is not normally allowed. Once the Orbital Strike is available, it lands in each shooting phase of the Rogue Trader players turn thereafter. The Rogue Trader player can opt to not roll for the onset of the strike if he wishes, but once the test has been passed, the strikes will continue each turn until the end of the game.<BR>
''' Placement ''': The blast marker for the srike can be placed anywhere within the specified terrain piece. If the terrain piece is too small, make sure the center hole of the template is over the terrain piece in question.<BR>
''' Inaccuracy ''': All Orbital Srikes use the deviation rules for Ordinance but if a miss is rolled the distance it scatters is doubled. If a hit is rolled the template deviates by the amount shown on the dice.<BR>
''' Officer's Authorization Required ''': An Orbital Strike may only be chosen if Jarrian York, Macharius Johnstonne, or Malechi Darrius is also part of the force. This option may also only be taken if Esailia is in orbit around the planet and able to fire on the battle.
