Trait        DRAT                    Remarks
APC        x 1.5        Allows vehicle-unit to carry an Infantry-unit of equal size; Size 3
                vehicle can carry Size 3 Inf. Must use Strike order to deploy/pick-
                up infantry, but may not attack on same turn. Infantry deployed
                gain suppression marker.

AAA        x1.4        VTOL targets attacked by this unit DO NOT get soft-cover bonus,
                however, all other targets treated as being under Soft Cover.

NCOs        x1.3        May remove one suppression marker from this unit per turn w/o
                paying command points.

Recon        x1.2        Unit may ignore cover bonus to one enemy unit. Roll 1d6> the
                distance to enemy unit to ID their location. This allows ANY
                friendly unit to attack the un-covered enemy unit this turn.

C.I.W.S.                   x1.3        Unit gains Armor bonus of +1 when defending against Indirect
                attacks.

T.O.C.        x4        Only one unit per side may have this Trait. Once per turn this unit
                may allow ONE of the following to occur:
                - Remove 2 Sup-markers from 1 unit for the cost of only 1 CP.
                - Two units may conduct a Strike against a single en unit for 1 CP.
                - One unit may conduct a Strike with AP+1 against a single en unit
                for 1 CP.

Infantry                    x2        1) Inf conducting STRIKE against adjacent enemy gain Barrage
                Trait for the this turn only, however the assaulting infantry unit
                automatically gains 1 suppression marker.
                2) When Inf conduct a STRIKE against enemy Inf, neither unit get                     the Inf Save feature.

    Haven't really thought too much about this, but perhaps a look at the ARES variants might provide a few ideas....

    See separate post on this topic.

    I might actually say AAA/Flak weapons CANNOT attack non-VTOL targets. But that's just me. smile

    Coolness.

                    distance to enemy unit to ID their location. This allows ANY
                    friendly unit to attack the un-covered enemy unit this turn.

    Would this include bypassing LOS?

    Interesting.

                    may allow ONE of the following to occur:
                    - Remove 2 Sup-markers from 1 unit for the cost of only 1 CP.

                    - One unit may conduct a Strike with AP+1 against a single en unit
                    for 1 CP.

    Not sure I understand what "TOC" stands for?

    Infantry                    x2        1) Inf conducting STRIKE against adjacent enemy gain Barrage
                    Trait for the this turn only, however the assaulting infantry unit
                    automatically gains 1 suppression marker.

    Not sure about (1), but I like (2).
