Sorry RS, I didn't get home last night until 10:45 and really needed sleep more than I needed to build armies. I will try to mess around with an army build soon.

I gotta "no" to that too. Although I have a fair amount of TTLs thanks to the Firepower case, lots of centaurs, and of course a highlander and a BR SM2.
Thats about it though XD
Well... actually TTL's aren't bad.... they just have low range....

Nova Cat-232 Aiko Ryohara (Clan Nova Cat)-32 Improved Targeting-44 Mercenary Zahn Heavy Transport-30 FI012-Elite House Steiner Towed Thunder Launcher-25 FI012-Elite House Steiner Towed Thunder Launcher-25 Clan Jade Falcon Towed Thunder Launcher-23
Mercenary Zahn Heavy Transport-30 Mercenary Sniper Team-24 Mercenary Sniper Team-24 Mercenary Gray Death Battle Armor-17
Mercenary Clan Battle Armor x3 -15 Clan Jade Falcon Fenrir Battle Armor-19
Clan Jade Falcon Sylph Battle Armor-30
Total = 600
Well.. Here is a first draft. It probably needs some tweaking. I couldn’t get a mech as big as the nova cat really working well in 450 since it lacks the support it needs.
Obviously the hammer here is the nova cat. With Aiko, it rings in at 11 attack, 24 defense. Nice. Because of the 16 inch range (20 inch assault!), you should be able to base some things with the CBA and move up to take a shot with IT. If that doesn’t work, move a bit closer and formation drop the snipers. With a 15 attack IT, you should be able to hit whatever you are aiming for.
The grey death provides AntiP support and can be dropped or move along with the CBA.
The Sylph ties up arty.
If you are against a SS AIV, switch the fenrir with the grey death and drop it to take care of the artillery. If not, it can move along with the CBA and threaten vehicles.
There is a healthy amount of artillery in this army which you can drop at various points around the battlefield. I wouldn’t recommend dropping them all at once unless you don’t fear a counter battery.

Looks good to me....
And I traded away my only JF Fenrir.........
Would it be okay to replace the Zahn and Snipers with an SC R10 with HL Towed Gauss?
And I have SC fenrirs... although they don't work nearly as well as JF Fenrirs. I guess I could use the CNC NC as an excellent solaris piece though ;D
Actually I was thinking of Adam Stark in the CNC NC though.... the extra 2 atk could come in handy... and then replace the IT with Decoy. (NOt sure how many more pts. more or less that will be)
Thanx for the suggestions though.

Er... Well.. You could trade the Zahn for the R10, but the gauss aren't a good replacement for the snipers because the snipers are there to build formations with the NC. HL units can't work with NC units. In fact, none can except Mercs until the next set comes out (at least)
I'll have another go at messing around with an army of AOD and after stuff.. maybe tomorrow evening. In the meantime, maybe Baw or Vladds (since he only has post AOD as well, apparently) could ring in with some ideas too?

hm...... don't snipers only have 12 range though? Unless you can declare a firing formation with an assault order (Can you? i dunno ) you'll have to give the the NC range advantage to have the fire formation. I would suggest Adam Stark instead of Aiko because the NC needs attack, due to the lack of units that can make formations. Actually I like IT better than decoy so let's go with that. 24 def against an assault order isn't too shabby....

I guess it's a difference of play style. I almost always would rather have the defense over attack... mostly because attack can be augmented on the fly with formations and defense is more difficult to increase. While you can't use a formation in an assault order, you can set it up in advance. Merc Snipers have a range of 14 inches, whcih means you can drop them in range in front of a mech at 15" and still have range advantage over most things. If you keep your target mech based with one of your other infantry, it won't be able to assault order you. And even if it does, you are looking at a hard to hit 25 defense.
Why don't you post a list of what you do have... that will help to put an army together.

Don't you prefer defense? You're arguing that point on MWRealms
