Unit Strengths in BE

[Sydney_Freedberg]

Oh, and the mighty Thor, who should know, fleshes out the numbers point in this thread, relevant portion quoted below:

@Thor Olavsrud

The traits explain it this way: a 1D affiliation means a small or poorly kept force, a 2D affiliation means a sizable and well-trained force, and a 3D affiliation means a large and elite force. How exactly that breaks down into actual numbers is up to you and your group and what feels right for the world you’ve got…Note that just because you’ve got a 3D affiliation, it doesn’t automatically mean that you get the Outnumbering advantage. You might have a 3D Hammer force, but if I’ve lured one of your patrol ships into an ambush with my building scene, then my 1D Hammer force might very well get the Outnumbering bonus. It’s all about how you set up the situation in play…
