5.1.7.1 Increasing the Experience Level

Battalions in a brigade can be trained to increase their experience level. The maximum experience level that can be reached through training is indicated in the army table under "EF". This command is written in section -06- of the turn sheet, "Increase Brigade Experience Level".

Command:  (Brigade) or (Federation of Brigades)

Example:4001 or alternatively 62

You have just raised the experienced of every eligible battalion in brigade 4001, or alternatively you have just raised the experience of every eligible battalion in federation 62.

Preconditions:

-the brigade must be yours and it must be located in one of your depots

-all required goods must be transferred to the depot in section -01- of the turn sheet

-the maximum experience level attainable through training may not be exceeded

- the experience level cannot be raised on the same month it has been built or by more than 1 each turn

Training will cost the following :

Louisdore =(headcount x Louisdore requiredEcPts =(headcount x EcPts required per 25

per soldier from army table)/10 (or 1/10 of thesolders)/200 (or 1/8 of the economic points

money required to set up the troops)required to set up the troops)

Notes:

In battles trained brigades are far superior to untrained brigades. You can train whole federations of brigades, simply by entering the federation number in section -06-. The game program only accepts the brigade's registration number, rather than the brigade's name 'number' (i.e. 4001 not Brigade 25 etc.). You can't actually train a brigade in the same month that it is being built. A brigade is only available to be trained on the following month, when it appears on your empire sheet with its i.d. number! When training a brigade/federation you will only be charged for those battalions that can be trained. Battalions at maximum experience will not be trained. When training brigades/federations with mixed troop types each troop type will only be trained to it’s specific maximum. European troop types (i.e. those troops that can only be set-up in Europe), operating in the colonies, can have their experience increased as normal, with the price being taken at the ‘home region’ rate. Brigades loaded on fleets can’t have their experience raised, even if the fleet is in a shipyard.
