If deployed as the Attacker in a scenario, the Protectorate Militia force loses its Force the Initiative ability, but retains its Off-Map Movement capability. If deployed on a world other than its homeworld (such as an Epsilon Eridani force being deployed on Genoa), the Protectorate Militia force not only loses all of its special abilities, but also suffers a –2 Initiative modifier. Although Blakist-based, Protectorate Militia forces may use standard Inner Sphere force arrangements (Lances, Companies, and Battalions) rather than Word of Blake force arrangements.<ref name="JS:BDp143">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103, "Rules Annex"</ref> </div> ==Reference== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' [[Category:Word of Blake Protectorate Militia Commands|Yangtze Protectorate Militia, 1st]]
