Multipliable uses for a Tank unit.

[markhall]

 I've started two new units that require Tanks as a part of their forces.
As I'm a little Mean. I've decided to do up Company sized units in Camo and will be using them across the board.
I may even stretch them for a 3rd force. But at the moment its only two.
I am also going to do my best to come up with 3025 era units for fun value too.

I still have to check the skill levels for the units. But do you think they have an appropriate feel to them?
Feedback would be welcomed upon this Reinforced Company.

Brutus HPPC has a C3s if you need to use one or two. BV 1,186, slow but make a nice counter-point to a C3 lance...

- Schrek C3M
- Brutus HPPC
- Fulcrum Heavy Hovertank III
- Partisan Fuel Cell (LRM)

Fulcrum Heavy Hovertank III ???

[Jackmc]

If you play any strategic level stuff you can really screw with most opponents by fielding a coupel of companies of fusion-powered tanks.  A company of Myrmidons isn't leased by fuel constraints can really throw a wrench into things because it can travel over 500 miles in under 10 hours nad because they're "just tanks" most enemies won't think too much of it when you send them way out on the flank not realizing that you can swing them back into the enemy's rear area.

Fulcrum Heavy Hovertank III ???

I assume he meant II and added and extra I
I have 4 of them waiting a paint scheme. I plan on using them along side 4 regulators (Arrow VI) As a Part of the Strykers Artillery lance.
I just need to find anther lance of Artillery tanks that I like the look of. The Demolisher is quite tempting if a little slow.

If you play any strategic level stuff

-Jackmc 

I don't know about Strategic level. But I think the tanker units will see most of their action in Quickstrike style games.

[truetanker]

Schiltrons and Pilums are possibles, but 8 A4's a turn from 4 Demolishers can't be to bad of an idea,  ;D.

I'm not actually looking for new tanks Ideas.
I'm wondering if I caught the feel of a Davion and Liao force with the  tank selections.
This is the unit done up.

Random colors so I can play it as any faction easily enough.
Ala the two different Companys in the opening post.
Both will be played by this unit.

[truetanker]

I assume he meant II and added and extra I.

Nope : Fulcrum Heavy Hovertank III - This versions is refitted from a Alphard Trading field upgrade kit, equipped it with a Snub-Nose PPC and an MML-7 rack, and is linked to a C3 Slave, the armor is upgraded to Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor. BV (2.0) = 1,185

}:)

If you like, may I suggest using Semi-G with TAG in your C3 units?

Also, I finally got the chance to really look at your units, Blakist LRM carrier would only work with C3i, and that would waste any hope. And the LRM Upgrade, downgrades it's engine to a 2/3 MP, not very good either.

[markhall]

I know its not too fast.
But the thinking behind it is making a sort of fire team with the  a PPC And Autocannon Shrek. And having one on each side of the battlefield. and the C3i letting the one on the other side take advantage should some one make a move against one flank or the other.


Looking at Pegasi and J Edgars for Tagging purposes.
The 3rd company is undergoing creation at the moment.

As is the Arty company for the LCT.
At the moment it's looking like  4 regulators(A4), 2 Demolishers (A4), 2 thor and a Marksman. Not sure why I only have one of them. Maybe some Chaparrals. It has been suggested I'm a little heavy on the Arrow 4.
But I'm okay with that.

Then for Liao I can use Gauss Regulators, Base Demolishers, Still have the thors and marksman for arty.
But as i said its a work in progress at the moment.

[Jackmc]

I'd probably go with the A4 Yellow Jacket's over Regulators.  In any terrrain other than vast rolling plains, the VTOL's have way more strategic mobility.

-Jackmc 

[markhall]

I'm honestly not a Fan of Vtols.
And the other reason for going with regulators is that I have 4 of them sitting on my workbench.
This is all being put together with minis I have.
I've was stripping paint like a mo fo all last week.

[Jackmc]

I can see playing with what you have on hand.  In other situations though, i'd pint out that the fragility of VTOLS isn't really noticable on YJ-A4's as there's been a serious screwup ifthey get pulled into direct combat.
