Cannonshop, you really did some cool work with your stories and they where fun to read. Lizzy was a bitch in different versions and fun to read about her being nasty to everyone.

[glitterboy2098]

lets be fair. Liz is a bitch in all the versions. the variation is largely how blatant she is about it.

and this is the "Ngoverse 4.0" threads, in as close to order as i can figure out.. probably got at least one wrong.

"How to you apologize to THEM": a Elizabeth Ngo featurette
Nogoverse 4.0: "Her Wings"
Ngoverse 4.0: "Her Boots"
Ngoverse 4.0: "The Watery Silence"
Ngoverse 4.0: "The Politics of Compromise"
Ngoverse 4.0: "Spreading Darkness"
Ngoverse 4.0: "Cool Wind"
Ngoverse 4.0: "Black Jumpsails"

honestly i' hope the 4.0 version gets more stuff.. largely because he's set up a pretty interesting AU with the changes that have occurred, and the late jihad era and beyond ought to be really interesting with them in play.

I would simply love to inflict them on a raiding enemy 😁

still working on writing up the kowloon sections for the infantry and armor.. but for now you can critique and help build the mech component of the AS force.

edit: kowloon stuff is up.

[Cannonshop]

You should probably grab a Coast Guards unit for that too, in most versions of Ngo'verse/Kowloon, they like to 'lean on' air assets as a substitute for variation or high technology, and being deeply distrustful of LCAF/LAAF logistics command, they tend to ship their own supplies; and those roles are mostly handled by the Kowloon Coast Guards, as are "Special forces" elements.  (usually squad-deployed infantry w/light VTOLs like license built Martens or ferret Infantry variant)

typical KCG aviation units would be "hotrod" copies of the Saber or Slayer aerofighters.  aka fighters with either great speed and deep fuel tanks, or fighters with great speed and deep fuel tanks that also have thick armor.

most versions the light fighters predominate for ground support missions and are used as 'bomb trucks', leaving the air superiority mission for House Regulars unless it's a primarily Kowloonese force out on the periphery of the LA itself (or there's enough 'wet' to bring an actual wet-naval presence.)

to be honest i have so little hands on experience wit hthe space side of the game, much less the Alpha Strike version, that i've been ignoring it for the most part. doesn't help that i've got only minimal figures for it.. (somewhere i have a Slayer, Riever, and Seydlitz, and that's pretty much it.)

megamek can be your friend there-if it's still going, I actually TESTED Kowloonese doctrine during the '62 FGC, and while it took a bit of effort to get a handle on the commands, the methods gelled pretty quickly-on the 'ground' map (where figures interact), the faster you go, the bigger your turn radius, meaning you really do have to plan out your moves mostly ahead of time.

The upside being that when they're in the 'point value' of a given force, you can simulate a slightly inferior ground force, but the force multiplier of having air support can be quite powerful.  doing it as an integrated 'core strategy' is tricky, but imho, worth it.  (you can't underestimate the impact that putting bombs on the other guy's most expensive units has, or laying a strafing run every couple turns.)

[glitterboy2098]

hard to get practice with aerospace stuff in when your mostly against the bot and they only just now got aero stuff (sorta) working right with the it. *shrug*
alpha strike uses an abstract version anyway.

currently these are as much an exercise in modelling as they are force building.. no one around here to play sadly (gotta travel about an hour to find the nearest game store that occasionally runs stuff.. and they do BT and AS only rarely)

That probably is two stories from the first published version.
