Can I start off with a Regiment?....well..um.. no...
If you start a new unit within Battletech-Mercenaries by registering with the MRBC, you are given a 100 million C-Bill grant to begin your
career and are given a free MRBC Edition Union (Upgrade) Class Dropship. We make the assumption that you will be able to outfit a Company sized unit and will likely assign you
the rank of Captain. Later as you complete contracts, gain C-Bills and buy more Military Hardware you have the opportunity to expand your unit all the way to Brigade size!
