Abstract: Suppose a group $G$ acts properly on a simplicial complex $Gamma$. Let $l$ be the number of $G$-invariant vertices and $p_1,p_2,\mathrm{...}{p}_m$ be the sizes of the $G$-orbits having size greater than 1. Then $Gamma$ must be a subcomplex of $Lambda=Delt{a}^{l-1}*partialDelt{a}^{p_1-1}*\mathrm{...}*partialDelt{a}^{p_m-1}$. A result of Novik gives necessary conditions on the face numbers of Cohen-Macaulay subcomplexes of $Lambda$. We show that these conditions are also sufficient, and thus provide a complete characterization of the face numbers of these complexes.
