Congratulations Commander Paine. I hope to return to active duty soon. The lack of internet has been interesting...

 

 

 

See you all again in the near future!

So the unit is up and running, and I am feverishly paging through the Mercenaries Handbook to try to figure things out. First of all, apparently ridiculous for a Merc to be a general. Merc leaders tend to be Colonels, often with a Senior Colonel leading the unit. Darn you PGI!!!!

Yay I dodged that bullet! Just make sure you point me in the right direction, or I'll make a big mess in the wrong place....
