I'm not very happy with the ground forces.

Rangers: Good troopers, but why do they have assault rifles? If I infiltrate the enemy SMG's would be better.
Desert Scorps: SMG's and Move 3? How do they get to the enemy? Only usable in a defensive role with limited LOS.
And there the Assault Marines or Free Marines rocks.
Banshees: Maybe usable, but the Wailings I like more.
Sunsets: Bull****. No real ranged combat troop and no close combat troop. Real close combat troops have 2 wounds.

So play with Navy!

What I was trying to tell you in the first place.

I have all the Capital groung forces, but choose to play the Navy forces in most games.
I would play the ground forces in scenerio based games where they would do better than the naval forces.
I have always had beeter success with the naval forces or the regular (Hvy INf/Airborne Rangers)

you try to make this work for you by inflitrating at range to a unit with poor range weapons and/or pick position that provides cover and target rich eniviroment.
If I remember right inflitrate allows you pick where to place after everyone else outside your deployment zone (with extra rules noted)
thats a awesome skilll in any unit.

Armor 20....take advantage of cover and run up to them.
god if only half the squad lives to short range it doenst matter they all have SMGS.....and goddamn SMGS are awesome.

Havent seen Free Marines used yet but have heard their pretty good.
Assault Marines are rock solid.

id like some ideas on a capitol ground forces 1200 point max force with good mobility and flexibility. something i could break down into smaller battle forces as well. i have every model and unit for the ground forces so go wild. thanks.

my proposal A+B

A = may tent to cheese a bit, but 2 flyers are a good thing. lacks a little in the gimmic-department, but lots of models, lots of heavy guns, range & some flexibility.

I like the second army. Looks like 4 officers which brings a lot more fun to the game. (Offboard).

I think you need to drop a Banshee or add 1 heavy inf to the list to make it legal. The list looks like something I would like to try.

yeah, you are right.. (edited)




i, personally like the 1. better, esp. because the 2 GG.

i would perhaps try 3 GG (Heavy Guns: Army A: 5; B:3)
-> lesser firepower but  more flexibility

and convert one HI to AM


the dogs i donīt know.. for -1MV you get LI... and FB is even -1 P ....

Army - C

Even more units, even a elite! the Orcas (with extHMGGunner) are _EXPENSIVE_


1 Assault Marine Captain @ 45 Pts
1* Major Maria Del Torres + Laser Sight @ 42 Pts
1* Blood and Guts Lt. Colonel @ 48 Pts
1* Sgt. Carter @ 33 Pts  (No LS  :-[)

1*4 Assault Marines @ 166 Pts
     1 Assault Marine Sgt. @ [29] Pts
     1 Assault Marine Grenadier @ [33] Pts

3*4 Heavy Infantry @ 135 Pts
     1 Heavy Infantry Sgt. @ [24] Pts
     1 Heavy Infantry Sniper @ [35] Pts

3*4 Freedom Brigadier @ 88 Pts
         1 Freedom Brigadier Sgt.+ Havoc Supression Grenade @ [24] Pts

3* Great Grey @ 65 Pts

Total Army Cost: 1198

=> if i could get 1 support / 2 units not only grunts i could make a less repetitive army.. oh well..
(or 2 GG / slot  :o ::))

I like army C alot. GG can shoot and move very well. Lots of bullets down range. Off-board also.


P.S. Wasn't trying to bust you on the army B composition (legal) just an observation. Great forces BTW.

Fellas....

The M-50 cannot take load-outs.  So no laser sights.

Factor this in and re-compute; its at least some body armor for a unit.

You are correct no optional load-outs on the M-50.
