Ah. So now it is up to you, the commander, to apply these "personalities"
to your detachments, instead of having a rule take over. Gee, who wants to
think? I just want to roll dice!

You know, armed forces don't just "sprout" tactics and strategies. There is
_supposed_ to be a learning curve, and part of what needs to be learned is
what makes a good detachment. Another thing you need to learn is what
detachments complement each other, and what detachments just don't mesh.
