Battle Ratings in ACKSII

Greetings fellows and Merry Christmas. :christmas_tree: I have a question about Battle Ratings for ACKSII that I can’t seem to find in the trio of new books. How is BR calculated?

The formula for ACKS 1e seems to be all over the internet (Grok and CGPT both know it) but nothing for Imperial Edition. I’m trying to figure out how to use the formulas in DoW:B for converted units like behemoth units and, especially, chariots. What do I need to do/understand to update those formulas?

Bless you and thanks for any and all wisdom you take your time to provide.

The BR formula is exceedingly complicated, and in 1e D@W: Battles filled a full chapter while building upon concepts inherent to the Battles hex-and-counter mass combat system. Including and explaining it in II would have necessitated including multiple additional chapters that there simply wasn’t room for, so while the formula does exist, it has not been widely shared. It will be released in the forthcoming update of D@W: Battles to II, and is available in the draft thereof to King-tier backers of the ACKS Patreon.

THANK YOU! I was able to grab the D@W preview and work out my chariot teams (with some calculation help from AI -— not a math guy).
