Due to popular request, I'm posting the work in progress. I updated the Flyer Benefits table since last time. First, the core experience rules.
=================================
Starting Experience
All formations start with D3 experience except formations that have a Supreme Commander character which start with D3+5 experience.
Gaining Experience
A detachment gains experience points for each battle it is involved in. Each modifier can only be applied once during a game. Ground unit formations include any non-flyer formation with non-war engine units, even if they have a war engine included, for example, an Ork Warband transported in a Battlefortress or a Superheavy Tank company with an attached infantry platoon. WE formations are exclusively made up of WEs. Flyer formations are, obviously, made up of flyers.
Ground Unit or War Engine Experience
+1 fighting in a battle
+1 If the formation claims an objective
+1 if the formation participates in an assault
+1 wiping out a formation
+1 destroying a War Engine
-2 If the formation falls below half strength
Flyer Experience
+1 fighting in a battle
+1 reducing an enemy ground unit to half strength using ground attack
+1 wiping out a ground formation
+1 wiping out a flyer formation
+1 destroying a War Engine
-2 If the formation falls below half strength
Experienced formations
Formations can be one of five levels of experience; green, experienced, veteran, crack and elite. Which level a formation is depends on the number of experience points they have.
XP Level
0 Green
1-5 Experienced
6-10 Veteran
11-20 Crack
21+ Elite or Battle Honor (WE-only)
Ground Unit Benefits
Green - Formation removes one fewer Blast marker when it rallies (minimum of 1).
Experienced - No benefit
Veteran - Formation may re-roll one rally roll per game
Crack - Formation is considered to have an inherent Leader ability
Elite - Formation is Inspiring
War Engine Benefits
Green - Formation removes one fewer Blast marker when it rallies (minimum of 1).
Experienced - No benefit
Veteran - Formation may re-roll one rally roll per game
Crack - Formation is considered to have an inherent Leader ability
Battle Honor - Formation gains one Battle Honor (and an additional battle honor at every 10 points thereafter, i.e. 31, 41, 51, and so on.)
Flyer Benefits
Green - Formation not allowed to make Jink rolls
Experienced - No benefit
Veteran - Formation only receives BM for exiting opposite table edge
Crack - +1 modifier to activation rolls
Elite - Formation can re-roll failed Jink attempts
Wiped Out
A formation that is totally destroyed in a game is Wiped Out. The formation loses all of its experience. Reroll the formation?s base experience value. The formation subtracts 1 experience point from its new starting value to reflect the poor quality of reinforcements that are brought in to rebuild the formation.
Reorganization
If a formation adds, subtracts, or changes more than 10% of its points value between battles, it loses 1d3 experience point from its total. If it adds, subtracts, or changes more than 25% of its points value between battles, it loses half its total experience points. If it adds, subtracts or changes more than 50% of its value, reroll its experience because it is effectively a new formation.
Replacing Casualties
After every battle all casualties are replaced and all vehicles repaired in the formations which fought, so formations are always considered to be at full strength.
