OK, I tweaked a couple things, fleshed some stuff out.
Tell me what ya think?


UNIT RELIABILITY CATEGORY:
Conscript: The Lowest reliability, these units are exclusively for use as Cannon Fodder. The majority of the troops being conscripted into the Krell Army by force. They are almost exclusively foot mobile infantry forces armed with whatever weapons happen to be at hand (pikes, spears, bows, clubs). The Officers assigned have the only firearms in the formation which they use on their own troops just as regularly as anyone else. They lead through fear and intimidation and threat of summary execution. These formations have no heavy weapons. The only tactic employed by these formations is the frontal human wave assault.

Veteran: These units are formed from two different sources, the remnants of conscript formations that have proved themselves both in battle and in their loyalty to Krell by readily informing on those that are less loyal, and brutal and vicious thugs, most were seized by the Krell as children and raised into the horde. These are the only units allowed to “forage” away from the main force for food, slaves and plunder. Nearly the entire formation will have whatever firearms they can seize, but very little ammunition. Infantry Formations will have approximately one Support Weapon (20mm AT Rifle or Machinegun) per 25 troops with the occasional light support weapon. They will have some mobility in the form of Technicals / Armored Cars to better forage for the army. Their officers will be the worst of the worst, absolutely brutal thugs that hold their positions by brute strength and force of terror.

Elite: “The Children of Krell”, all the troops in these formations were raised from birth in the Krell Warrior class, and there are very few of them. They are the best educated and most reliable of the Army and as such, regularly look upon the rest of the Army as expendable resources. Absolute Fanatics that will fight to the death for their “Father Krell”. These are the only personnel educated enough and reliable enough to operate the few Tanks, Heavy Weapons, and Artillery Pieces in the Army. They also are the only ones to use captured Morrow equipment beyond small arms. They are not necessarily the best fighters, but they certainly are the most reliable. These formations make up a very small percentage of any Krell Army and are normally shifted around depending upon the composition of the enemy faced (Heavy Weapons and Artillery for Assaults, Tank and ATGM for armor threats). There is also a separate Elite force that is hand selected from these troops to be the personal bodyguards of Krell.
