[Tempest-56]

Prerequisites and Pre-Issue Checklist

• I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository:

• MegaMek

• MegaMekLab

• MekHQ

• I've searched the Github tracker and haven't found the issue listed

Severity *

Medium (Gameplay Limitation): Non-core functionality is impaired, providing a suboptimal but playable experience.

Brief Description *

In Stratcon, when you deploy forces it gives you the option to deploy forces that are marked as non-combat on your TOE. Should the enter a combat scenario (such as an encounter when revealing an unreconned hex), the scenario will generate with the force as the seed and assigned to it. However as a non-combat force you cannot actually start the scenario as it doesn't count them as deployed. Similarly, you cannot assign a different unit to it without consuming a support point for them as reinforcements, nor can you advance the day as the incomplete scenario nag pops up.

For anyone picking this up: we should be filtering out non-combat forces from this dialog.
