August Scenarios

[baw]

Boy do they hate artillery.. I don't know what me and my bad dice rolling are going to do! I guess I will have be creative..

It is going to be lots of tank drop With all the mechs on the battlefield!

[baw]

The other unit I think that is going to shine is like Peacemaker.. 24 defense! Big assault order. That is going to be nasty.. Also I expect to see lots of JF bouncing around the field!

[Zxqueb]

I won't miss artillery for the storyline. Neither will I miss sub-zero / caustic atmosphere.

And I do like that the battlefield won't be able to be changed with cards.

If you forsee lots of tank drop, you need some good anti TD mechs around. Either fast JJ mechs (multiple lights or mediums) or streaks on a heavy/assault to soften the transports.

Hmmm... I think I"ll be running "Kaminari" w/ Pilot and the DF/SC Situational alliance. I"ll have an army posted up as soon as it arrives in the mail. (Traded for it)

[baw]

I really haven't started thinking about what I am going to play. I need to put some thoughts together.. I guess it will be turtle land...


Hmm How about a Peacemaker with a couple of ROTS Heckions flanking him.. I will have to start thinking about it... or a Peace Maker ROTS Heckion and a tank drop. basically make it so they have to come to you. I guess I will have to pull battleplanner out!

[Zxqueb]

Sounds good... Don't forget to put some infantry in to suck up the active volcanos.

[RoyalScion]

Hmmm... Decided to Scratch the "Kaminari" Idea because if I'm down on VC2 I'll have to attack... which is BAD.

So... Chikako Time!

"Chikako" -211
---Gabriel Smith Recruit SSw -53

SC R10 -48
---SSw Mars Assault Tank-107

CJF Jaguar 98
---CJF Star Commander -19

SC Fenrir x2 -30
SC Undine -20

DF Shock Troopers-14

Exactly 600.

One thing on your army RS. You recruited Chikako to SSw. For what reason, nothing in your army can formate with Chikako, and theres no alliance/FP. I suggest recruiting to Sea Fox just for kicks, its just more economical.

[RoyalScion]

Half the army needs to be from a single faction. Therefore, I need half of the army (in units) to be one faction. So having SSw Chikako and SSw Mars fulfills that requirement.

[Zxqueb]

Unfortunately it doesn't meet the 50% requirement. Per Wizkids, the check for faction purity happens BEFORE Chikako is recruited to SSw (i.e.; before the battlefield is prepared). At the time the check is made, he is still a merc.

Back to the drawing board, I'm afraid.

I REALLY don't like that ruling and most MW players aren't going to figure out that little nuance of a line. I have argued on the boards that they need to put the words more plainly explaining the restriction.

I really need to sit down and build an army... I saw some interesting ones last night for the tournament I ran.

[RoyalScion]

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dang it. Now I can't figure a good force.
Suck.

[Zxqueb]

I tend to agree with you Baw. I think pilots and gear should count toward the total. It is confusing the way it is done now and not game breaking to have the total for the mech + recruitment / etc count towards a total.

@ RS, if you want to use Chikako, you would be better off trying for a merc army.

Z

[baw]

Hmm I might try something different. The shiro's are interesting.. or A Republic one. The Republics have some good mechs for 600 pt army.

I know that stinks about Chikako.. I guess If i play a chikako it will have to have Zahn and Merc kelswa drop. I really don't know what I am going to play for scenario. I have one saturday night but I am still trying to decide what to play at worlds.. Confusion is swirling around my head!

[RoyalScion]

Sadly... Chikako is my only merc unit. Hmmm... I guess I'll have to pull out "Kaminari" after all...
