Phoenix Samurai only has 2 actions?
Is this right?
thanks
-
yes this is correct, the guys are half-dead, so they move and react slightly slower than they did in their prime. But don't let the 2 actions discourage you, their MG does hella damage at SR and PB. Also used with a healer(ie. Ameratsu) they can be pretty effective.
-
Jep they are not good within attack army but they are IMHO superb Mishiman defense unit.

There are many ways to use Phoenix Samurai. You must plan that strategy wiith two actions in mind.
-
From my mind the Phoenix with 2 actions are so rich to using.... (33 P)... dontīthink?
-
No offense man but arguing point costs is like arguing with the sky about the weather, give it a rest already.
-
33 Points is ok
that may just be 2 A, but they also have 2 W -> 16.5 / W
(100 P phoenix samurai = 6 A, 6 W, HMG)
if you compare them to attilas 43 P -> ~14 P / w
(100 P attilas = 7 A, W 7, weak AC)
-
if this is O.K., i understand nothing....
i see this:
3x phoenix = 6A, 6W, AR 22 - 99 points
2x attilas = 6A, 6W, AR 22 - 86 points (weak AC? - 10x2, AV-2, with RC 11?)
head problem with phoenix is move - when you must move with army (not be sitionary, but in maneuver combat), his movement is too small (6 inch/round).....

more or less,
its a little more than 2 attilas, see my calculation on AC, W
the autocannon is not bad, or an AR, but it is no HMG
the mashinegun gets boni closer, the AC just negative (after PB). also, it is not DAM14

well.. if together with 2 or 3 vehicles they are very good meatshilds
of course, they donīt get in range, but they are good W/P/AR value.
if you advance in cover you will be max 2-3 rounds in the open.. 2 A is few, but not to few. no shooting with this tactic likely, though.
IF you get charged, they are there then and mow down any CC speadfreaks..

autocannon has no DAM 14, but in medium range has 10x2 .....
