I don't know.. I have this weird Quirky feeling of trying a RHD army for the Scenario this month.. All I have mechwise is 2 Balder's and headhunter. I am not sure if that is enough.. I just had the urge when I started typing this. I keep saying that I would not be great at playing this type of army but how will I know if I don't try.. I have to see how many RHD pieces I have in total 3 yasha's (yay for me 1 R10. 1 Raptor probably not enough to play yet.. i will need to get some more boosters Has anyone seriously considered a RHD army yet? I really don't know what I am going to play this month for Scenario.. Time to start thinking!

I guess I should have read MWREALMS before posting this... Lots of people are talking about RHD armies and Trevor had a good analysis! It is still something to think about it... Did anyone else get any RHD Pieces? I haven't seen a Fortune or GLory yet.. It would be interesting to try out to see if they are as awesome as everyone says

I'm pretty sure I am going to go up against a Glory/Fortune army on Sat. Hopefully, I will also buy or trade for a set of the twins. I've opened five Domination boosters and got the RHD enyo, an infantry piece and "Ull?" I think, not sure on the name of the mech, its a medium that is piloted by Lars Somethingorother. After five clicks it gets 3Pulse and after seven, eight and nine, 4Pulse. Crazy.
I really look forward to playing the Twins, both against them and with them.

I haven't even seen them yet I think they are going to be interesting. In the hands of someone not very careful I think they are not going to be that effective. They do have some weaknesses. Although if you can kill something and run forever you are going to be pretty invincible! What are you going to play for Scenario DragonDawg.. I am trying to decide between ROTS Heckions or Chikako recruited to RHD with Camo.. I am not sure at this point!

Check the RHD Camo card. I am pretty sure it is only for bi-ped mechs. Is the scenario mech only? Or is it just mech friendly with Ice Fields in effect?
As for what I am bringing.... I haven't thought too much about it. I think I will put together something that will stiffle the Twins, but work well against other things too. True Grit. A Kelswa or two. A SC R10 or two. A LI Long Tom or two. Thunder Launchers. Shamashes. Enyos. Infantry. I'll think about it a little tonight.

Be careful DD, the twins are tough. Unless the person playing them is an idiot I wouldn't count on winning, they're the worst kind of broken.

I am going to buy a bunch of boosters before playing.. If I pull the twins I might play them I am very much of a Have my plan figured out before I get there guy! Although I do love sealed I am not sure what I will buy playing.. If nothing else it will be chikako, and tank drop and arty.. Chikako will be hiding behind blocking as much as possible ;P That first strike from the twins can be nasty though.. I will have to check out the RHD card. .Maybe that is why I haven't tried it yet!

Ok... I get to venue early.. I buy.. 8 Boosters.. not a single unique.. The owners son says.. "I want a booster" They pull a booster down for him... he opens.. he gets GLORY!!!!! My son starts asking about it.. I told the owner I would buy it... He ends up giving his son a couple more boosters and he also gave me fortune.. So I had the deadly duo.. I take them to a game the next day.. here is a quick scenario army I threw together Twins with Double Rate and Pulse. two liao long toms (I guess I do love those things) Like 4 Liao Combat techs 1 HD ATV BR/SSW faction pride. The twins almost killed Black rose with fernali in a single round..(the long toms helped) and next game they tore up esparanza in almost 1 round.. They were gruesome.. I am not saying they are invincible but they are something to behold when they go into action. The key thing is to be careful and cautious with them.. They are very vulnerable... one hit and they really start losing effectiveness. baw

Holy cow.. I just realized that was not a valid build for the scenario! Fortunately I gave away the prize anyway

It wasn't even ranked ;P I was too overjoyed at getting the twins.. I didn't even realize it until I typed it up and then it hit me.. It wasn't build for the scenario! Although.. let me read the wording again for the scenario
