Greetings,
Lord Zarion and myself (with a special nod to Volk for contributing to it) have worked out these rules for attackers and defenders during ground battles involving soldiers.
Please note that as of now these rules are in effect and all ground ground battles will follow these rules. These rules are subject to change at any time and we promise you to inform you of any rule changes promptly.
Thank you,

Build Point System:
Ground Forces are built using 50 points to be spent however deemed fit for the situation. Ground Forces are to be built by or under the supervision of the Faction leader and must stay within the 50pt build limit, you don't have to use all your points but you cannot spend more than that.
How to Engage in Ground Combat:
Please make a post detailing your groud forces moving into attack positions and post to the opposing Leader's PM or in the CBox to allow the leader to muster a defense force. Since there is a real world out there, it is suggested that if you want to launch an attack, you should contact the Faction leader/player and work out a time that is mutually agreeable. In the instance of major inter-faction battles it is suggested that a check-in period occur to allow for player arrival and proper set up for the RP.
It helps to have some knowledge of military tactics as they pertain to soldier deployments and positions. The key thing is making things realistic and believable. No army is untouchable or invincible, in a fight your ground forces will experience losses. Personnel and resources can and will be killed, destroyed or captured during a battle. While this is under the writer's discretion, it is suggested that you make your losses realistic under the situation of the game. Also, only take along what you need for the story, no sending entire divisions of soldiers out to catch one person.
Superweapons:
Superweapons are not allowed in any battle, period.
Reinforcements:
These are created by the leader of the faction. They may be called when ground forces are at 1/4 nominal size and may not be greater than 1/2 the force it is reinforcing.
Ground Force Eligibility:
Factions are allowed to have 3 standing sets of Ground Forces (not counting planetary defense packages) at full points plus 1 reserve at half points. Orders are allowed to have 1 set of Ground Forces at full points with 1 reserve at half points. Ground Forces used by individuals are strictly for use in a specific storyline are not to be kept once the storyline has played out.
Planetary Defense Packages:
These are used by all planets as needed to defend against oppositional aggression and protection from fleets in orbit. This is to ensure that all planets (with at least a colony size detachemnt of people) have some semblence of protection, unless said group is pacifistic and has sworn off weapons or is a low technology level society.
