Description
So it's been a long time since I put anything here. This is a bit of refined background material from 6-Commando ! And while you're having a look, if you like this and you like 6-Commando, you might be interested to know that the SpiderForest Webcomic Collective, of which I'm a member, is running a Kickstarter for our first comic anthology - including an original piece by me, among over a dozen other really talented artists! So have a look and please consider supporting us!Related content

You know I’ve been thinking what do the squares mean? And does the manikins on the side show the hole brigade or just a part of it?

Interesting so are brigades the smallest strategic unit the UNA has or I’m I getting something wrong?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It’s the smallest unit capable of sustained independent action, with its own support tail. Smaller units do see deployment ad-hoc, however. 6-Commando, for example, is on paper a brigade formation but is only partially deployed to its forward operating base at the time the story starts.
Larger units like divisions, corps, and Field Armies are also part of the structure but the Brigade is the basic maneuver unit.

Sustained independent action? Is that like being able to operate without orders from command?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it means that it’s a command-level organization led by a general or a brigadier-general, and can carry out operations within a theater without needing access to special assets like engineers, maintenance, medical or regimental level heavy artillery, because they are integral to the brigade structure. A field brigade carries these assets organically. A company or battalion, however, would have to retain open lines to its commanding brigade to access these assets, and so would not be able to act without the rest of its brigade somewhere accessible.
A brigade cut off from its division, for example, could continue to function. A battalion cut off from its brigade would find its combat effectiveness degraded after a period of operations and would need to fall back for support.

Ahhh so this system was created to overcome those short comings

And the Brigades are like battalion sized units capable of Sustained independent action right?

Dang, you should make a counter board game to download based on your unit compositions. I would make the counters if you wanted.
I did make that Mike tank counter, remember?

I’ve often wondered what kind of game would go along with the Commandoverse - probably a pretty boring and pedestrian one, knowing me.
Maybe a minis game? Although my taste in minis is rare - I’m a fan of 3mm or “Pico” Scale, so I’d want it to be that.

How do the Rumblers fit in? Do they act like the Iowa's or Kuznetsov in the navy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There aren't enough of them to meet demand, so they're basically moved around independently to form mobile strongpoints at key points along trouble-areas. They're capable of dominating an entire theater, both with their guns (out to about 25 miles at extreme range) and with advanced medium-tactical-range missiles, which can carry a lot of different warhead types and have a range of up to several hundred miles.

Okay, awesome!

There are about thirty Echo-class Rumblers, and three Victor-class prototypes, of which only one is in the field.

Ok, thank you again! I love how much thought you put into this, it's downright inspirational.
