A Point is the basic Clan military formation and was considered by Nicholas Kerensky to be the smallest effective deployment of any military asset, a doctrine which has remained unchanged since its introduction.[1][2] Points are commanded by a Point Commander, except for naval Points, which are either commanded by a Star Commodore in the case of WarShips or a Star Captain in the case of JumpShips and DropShips.[3][4]
Composition
A Point can consist of one of the following:
- One OmniMech or BattleMech.[5][6]
- Two OmniFighters. Both will always be of the same design though not necessarily of the same configuration,[5][6]
- Two Combat Vehicles.[1][7]
- Five Battle Armored Elementals. Elementals are rarely deployed in anything less than Point strength to maximize their lethality.[1][7]
- Twenty-five conventional infantry. These are organized into five five-man squads, one of which serves as the Point's command squad.[1][7]
- Five ProtoMechs
- One Vessel (WarShip, JumpShip, DropShip)
