Federated Suns forces will arrive in OR6 via unplanned reinforcement per discussion with Dave. Forces consist of:
1st Davion Guards
1st Crucis Space Transport Flotilla
Militia consists of:
Regulars, 2 Medium "D" 'mech companies, 2 medium Vee companies, 4 conventional fighters, 2 conventional infantry companies
Isolated unit rolls: 6, 10, 2, 8 -- correlating to A, B, A, C
Ground FP equals 16 + 16 ('mechs) + 10 + 10 (vees) + 0 + 0 (infantry - due to rounding) = 52 FP total

Normally, the FP of militia does not need to be disclosed until they actually undertake combat orders. This FP was listed for illustrational purposes only, since this is the first time militia is being called up.
