Need help completing lances

[Drewbacca]

I am planning on putting together some lances to form a company sized mercenary unit. I would like to keep the movement profile per lance the same and make use of the miniatures I already have as much as possible, which include one alpha strike striker lance set, the minis out of the last box set. Some citytech  of miniatures and some old unseen plastics as well as metal miniatures including a locust, excalibur, two mackies, a black knight two archers, a kintaro, a Griffin three Flashmen and a mongoose.

I was planning for a lance to be built around the three freshmen and a lance with a guilliotine and a grasshopper.

Freshmen?

Freshmen?

Ditto, lol, WTF is a Freshmen, I've never heard that term in 30 years of BT.

So first up is the Recon Lance
Mongoose,  Locust,  Spider,  Cicada.   Everyone moving 8/12 w/ a bonus Jumper in there.

If you don't mind some reduced speed for more Jumpjets & firepower,  then swap some out for a Jenner/Assassin.


To blend in with the 4/6/4 theme,   Guillotine,  Grasshopper,  Whitworth,  Victor,  Catapult,  Panther,  Vindicator ......  Pick any 4 or add the Griffin for a little speed.


Finally,  a Fire Lance to be a compliment to the 4/6 brawlers above....... Pick 4....... Excalibur, Kintaro, Archer, Archer, Catapult, Whitworth, Zeus, Orion, Jagermech.

i think he means a flashman

If that is the case,  I'd add the Excalibur & have it hang out at 21 hexes supporting them as they close into short range to "murder by laser".

Freshmen?

Autocorrect on my Kindle Fire. :-\

[Drewbacca]

One more thing. I need options for each era.

[Hellraiser]

Well if your looking for SLDF era then I 2nd my earlier statement about Flashman *3 + Excalibur.

I would also suggest Mackie *2 + Black Knight + Kintaro as a HQ - Heavy/Assault Lance.

The Mongoose is from that TRO but, really, it fits better in the Recon lance regardless.

Ditto the Guillotine in the Attack-ish lance.


For Fire w/o any SLDF era mechs, I'd stick w/ the 2 Archers & then add a Trebuchet & one of the Zeus/Catapult/Whitworth.
