Shared roster selection and mission snapshots

Players and GMs · Reviewed for v433

Keep scale, selected units, support and BV/PV totals consistent across company and editable mission screens.

One current selection

  1. Save Company tracks, or save a participating roster in Scheduled tracks. Both update the company selection and every editable scheduled mission in which that company participates. Scale, selected units, additional BV/PV and No Battlefield Support are synchronized. OpFor budgets and company overview use the same saved selection.

  2. Selecting scale zero sits out that scheduled mission only. It does not clear the company roster or other missions. A locked or completed mission retains its historical roster and support settings. Reopening a mission reconnects participating rosters to the current company selection.

  3. After uploading release 105, an administrator runs Database updates to link existing editable missions to the current company selections. Previous draft submissions are retained in the audit log; explicit sit-outs, locked missions, completed missions and accounting are preserved. Invalid current rosters remain visible and must be corrected before locking.

  4. The GM validates and locks rosters before play. Draft OpFor readiness and generated budget packets are invalidated when synchronized player selections change. Saved enemy units remain available for review.

  5. The selected track menu opens Mission plan, which shows Mission force totals: selected player BV/PV, units, combined scale, company breakdown, support and additional value. It uses the selected mission's saved submissions, retaining locked history. Enemy OpFor BV/PV and the GM enemy budget are labelled separately. Zero enemy units means no opposition has been added; it does not mean the player roster is empty. Missing player submissions are highlighted as incomplete. Player BV/PV is not automatically copied into an enemy budget.

Spreadsheet roster and mission-specific crews

  1. Use the card-grid or spreadsheet icon above the roster to switch views. Your browser remembers the choice. Switching keeps the same unit checkboxes and pilot controls, including unsaved edits. The spreadsheet shows Deploy, Unit code if recorded, Unit name, Commander / pilot, base BV or PV, and the recorded Unit role.

  2. Choose Scale and the applicable No Battlefield Support option. Live totals show selected value against the allowance and Draconis Reach unit equivalents against its cap. Hinterlands has no Draconis Reach unit-count cap. Starting-miniature discounts never reduce deployment BV/PV. Contract departure allowances and acquired-during-contract exemptions remain separate from track limits.

  3. Unassigned but otherwise eligible units appear so you can crew them here. Personnel choices come from the entire company and are restricted to the matching unit category. There is no contract-scale pilot-roster cap. Injured living personnel retain the existing campaign eligibility rules; their injury status is shown. Dead personnel and pilots with unfinished required SP/conversion work are not offered as ready assignments.

  4. Company equipment assignments are defaults. Contract roster saves retain contract-specific defaults without changing equipment. Track roster saves use per-track pilot overrides. One pilot or crew cannot operate two selected units in the same mission. Mission-specific choices survive later editable-roster synchronization and are revalidated when the GM locks the mission. Locked/completed snapshots remain unchanged.

  5. Save contract assignments and Save track roster update in place with JavaScript. Errors keep entered selections and link to the affected roster or saved pilot correction. Unrelated unsaved forms are retained. An uncertain response requires a reload to check saved state; no mutation is automatically retried. Without JavaScript, the same form controls submit normally. The existing shared unit-selection synchronization remains: this feature makes crews mission-specific, not every editable unit selection independent.

Consistent limits and source values

  1. The live BV/PV, unit limits and battlefield support preview use the same campaign policy as saving. A selected unit without a current source value is shown as unavailable and cannot be deployed; it never counts as free. Scale zero is only a scheduled-mission sit-out with no selected units.

  2. Editable scheduled roster snapshots refresh current source values. Locked, completed and reporting rosters keep their saved evidence. Initial contract commitment uses the current source values of eligible equipment; missing source values stop the check rather than posting a default penalty.
