Hey guys, i'm having trouble understanding the FoC 100%. I just want to get a clear explanation.

So basically every army/ally must have minimum 2 troops and 1 HQ correct? Is this the same for every race or however you want to say it in warhammer 40k? Also 2 troops and 1 HQ = how many fast attack, elites and heavy supports?

Thanks to whoever supports an answer, appreciate it a ton, i just want to make sure i'm understanding it correctly.

The mandatory need choices are 1hq and 2 troops. You have optional for 1 more hq, 4 more troops, 3 elites, 3 heavy, and 3 fast attack. Now when you hit 2000 points you unlock another foc if you want. The second one also needs the mandatory choices.

After meeting the 1 HQ 2 Troop for your main you can follow the ally chat(goggle image search should bring it up) but you may take a ally which 1HQ And 1 troop min for a ally. With the ability to take 1 elite, 1 more troop, 1 fast and 1 heavy.

Allied detachments only require one hq and one troop choice.

Btw, some missions mess with the FOC. To read the graphic: Any black squares are mandatory. All grey squares are optional and you may only pick up to the number of squares (unless other rules say otherwise. For example: Many Hq choices don't actually take a slot. )

hitting 2000 pts only doubles force org. this dose not mean the requirement of 1 hq and 2 troops is doubled as well. but no matter how many pts players always take at least 4 troops and 1 hq,

It is doubled, actually. When you hit 2000 points you can field two Primary Detachments, two Allied Detachments, two Fortifications, etc, all with the usual restrictions, and only a single Warlord. Each Primary Detachment still has to have 1 HQ and 2 Troops, and each Allied Detachment still has to have 1 HQ and 1 Troop.

You don't HAVE to double the FOC at 2000 points, but if you do, then all the basic requirements for the Detachments remain. For each Primary Detachment, you need 1 HQ and 2 Troops. For each Allied Detachment, you need a Primary Detachment, 1 HQ, and 1 Troop.
