I got confused by too many 'centuries'.
So each century (I mean everything on the card you showed, lets call it a formation) is one activation, am I right?
I think that it would be easier to name a whole unit that activates at the same time (with all support options) a formation. Then it wont be confused with stuff it consists of.
As for the commamd, when you have it in your formation you can buy additional support for that formation, is that right?
Yeah I know
I've changed it, it is now Maniples - Main and Maniples - Support. so combined you have a Century. Everything on the example card is one activation.
When you have selected 3 Centuries you can then purchase the Commander. once you have the commander you can select from the Command Main and support. The Main choices can be selected to form a Century. they both can be used as support for any century.
For Example:
I start with my Main choices and select 3 Mech Maniples. Power 15
I can then choose my Support (up to 7). Im going to leave three slots for later so i buy 4 Support
Veteran Affray x 2 Power 8
Mauler IFV x 2 to Transport the Vets Power 18
Scorpion AT Power 6
For ease I'm going to duplicate that twice for my three Centuries. this will be Century 1 -3. Total Power so far 141
Now I have 3 Centuries I can purchase a Commander, Power 6.
I now have access to the Command Main
As I like big tanks I'm going to build a Century of Challengers, 3 costs 30 Power.
For these I can add up to 7 Support, not being greedy I'm only going to add 3 more for another 30 Power.
total so far 207 Power.
As I have a Commander I can add Command - Support to any Century and I have some spaces available in my first Centuries.
Century 1 gains 3 Guardian Maniples Power 24.
Century 2 gains A guardian Sniper Maniple and 2 Hailstorms Power 25.
Century 3 gains 3 Guardian Maniples Power 24.
Having 20 Power left of my 300 I'm going to grab 2 more Challengers and add them to the Challenger Century.
we have a 300 Power army with 4 Activations. Now you can increase your activations by using bare bones Centuries but that is capped at 4 per 100 Power
Hope that helps, I am making an army building guide for the rules release so hopefully it won't be as confusing.
