Connecting the Unit Info Tab

It’s time to start hooking up some of our UI to the store. We’ll start with the simplest part: the Unit Info tab. First, a bit of background info - it would be helpful to know what a “unit” is.

A Battletech “unit” is a military group, which could be part of the official armed forces of one of the various “star nations” in the Battletech universe, or an independent combat group like a mercenary unit. The five Great Houses in the Battletech universe all maintain vast armies, while hundreds of mercenary units large and small try to make a living through combat. Some examples of units from the game universe include:

• Great House army units:
  • 24th Dieron Regulars from the Draconis Combine
  • 2nd Free Worlds Guards from the Free Worlds League
  • 11th Avalon Hussars from the Federated Suns
• Mercenaries:
  • Wolf’s Dragoons
  • 21st Centauri Lancers
  • Hansen’s Roughriders
