Rhyme could a second player join a current players faction as a character under the originals command until he can join properly?

Uhmm. Yes, why not? It could be interesting for the story telling

Aww crap. Well, if anyone needs TANKS or HUGE MECHAS in the future, I'm here. Anyway, enjoy my setting.

My army:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Also a recap of the armies would be most appreciated. nvm I'll make mine just here so I can remind me at all time who is who.

-GreatWirmGold: Project Ambrosius: 6/1/3/-2/2/5/3/12. Psy guys, around 50. Spaceship the Minwu, APC the Riddle, Parrained by Rear Admiral Rand. Chief Lieutenant Gregory Georgeson, powerful telepath. 5 "toons" (A, B, C, D and E) of Sergeant Major and a Sergeant and ten or so others.

-mesor: Project Genesis: 0/13/13/6/5/1/2/-5/-5. Genetically enhanced footsoldiers with great armor and kinetic weapons. Most numerous army: 50 snipers, 100 heavy gunners, 600 infantry. Notable personnel include senior sergeant Gibbs who is the companies most skilled sniper, colonel Janos who commands all men in the field with 30 years of experience and staff sergeant Smith who is the companies best rifleman. Also scientist DR Harold Parker who heads the genetic engineering department.

-LordSlowpoke: Project NWM: 2/15/14/0/-2/0/6/0/-5. Kinda private army funded by The Nobel Committee, focusing on one-man heavy armored weapon platforms with forcefields.The notable personnel list includes Irene Aster, head of the R&D departament, Xun Erwin Rhydderch, leader of military forces and demolitions specialist and Silvio Coughlan, primary project administrator.

-UkrainianRanger: Project New Humanity: 20/1/1/7/3/6/-5/-2. Full space navy (list page 4) notably 1 flagship, 4 destroyers and 7 corvettes, disliked by regular navy (for being concurrents). Weak on ground.

-5 numbers is like 10-20 men dude.
You've got 2 tanks maximum with that few men.
And very very basic laser weapons and power armor.

-Wrong. I have like 10-20 tanks. I have no infantry whatsoever. Re-read that.
-Don't care about infantry equipment. 90mm dual cannons and ablative armor remember? I admit vehicle power-armor and laser beams would be sweet but I'm happy with just big guns.

Number is your amount of men able to fight. So it would be about 3-4 tanks

Told you :).
Like I said, low numbers means bugger all tanks.
Strong tanks sure but if I researched anti armor weapons I'd wipe you out in a matter of minutes with bugger all casualties.
You should increase your numbers, thats why tanks are used in support of infantry.

With 15 in Vehicles I cannot afford one-manned tanks? Like, mostly automated? That or they are all baneblades. A platoon of super-heavy tanks is 3 anyway.

I may increase that number (Depend if Armor actually upgrade vehicles. If not I know what to do next.), and I always intended to act as support.

That will hurt you a lot.

Support will mean you will get very little funding since other people will be doing the main work.
You could build a small core of 20-30 infantry to work on main jobs and just take 4-5 strong tanks then slowly build them up over time.

I don't mind working with you when you can join but without infantry the jobs you can take are severely limited and what you can do in those you can take is limited as well without having some infantry of your own.

Ah see I meant like Someone may control that Genreal through Pms, or The native forces, stuff like that.

That could be cool, too.
Also I edited my waiting-list army. Less infantry armor (I think the vehicles armor is covered by Vehicle anyway.) and more numbers. Should be better.

Numbers 0 is between 100-150 men.

So thats roughly 30 tanks total assuming you don't want any infantry at all and assuming 5 men per tank.

I'll say 3 crew in standard-sized tanks, and maybe 9 in super heavy ones. Heavy computer assistance should allow that (in video games you need only 2 or 3 people to run a tank to maximum efficiency. You'll say it's video games, but computers make war increasingly look like one.)

I'll take 3 squadrons of 5 medium tanks (45 men), 1 of 3 super-heavy tanks (27 men), and 5 squads of 10 infantry (50 men). 122 mens total.
