Just want to be sure: our current overhead is 2, so effectivly on garrison ops we are making 1WP per month profit. I am also wondering what happens if we grow, do we get to renegotiate if we make it to battalion strength?

I am very much leaning towards the Liao contract.

You are correct in your math. Garrison duty isn't lucrative but offers regular growth with little risk. To grow to Battalion size you will have to add 5 lances, so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Most likely you will just receive the extra overhead as a bonus per month.

You could always reject both contracts and keep looking for smaller scale work. I will be enforcing the travel time that would realistically have to take place to move this size unit around the Inner Sphere though, so that means more time paying your overhead out of the Unit coffers.

We sign on with the Confederation.
