Core and Support

Your Force is divided into Core and Support Choices.  For the Martian Colonists, the Core of a Platoon-level Force always consists of one Officer, his Command Squad and 2-3 Squads.

Your Support Choices represent other units attached to or temporarily supporting your Lieutenant and his Platoon.  Your Support choices vary depending on whether you are the Attacker or the Defender in the scenario you're playing.  Attacking Forces have more aggressive and mobile choices; Defending forces get more guns and fortifications.  In addition, Attacking Forces get 150% of the points a Defending Force gets, to compensate for the difficulty of making an assault.

(In case you're wondering, two Forces meeting each other in a symmetrical scenario both count as attacking, and have equal point levels.)
