Need help picking a name for a unit.
« on: 14 January 2021, 09:24:47 »
I asked my son recently what kind of weapons he likes and he said LRMs. This is a bit surprising given his favorite units are Battle Armor but I decided to make an LRM heavy mercenary force for an against the bots campaign. I have a general idea of composition already but I need name. So far, this is what I have:
Blizzard of Pain
Snow's Flurries
DFA- Death from Afar
Rocket Men
Missile Totaled
Durassel's Energizers- Why, because they have a lot of batteries.
Cosgrove's Cogs- though only that one if I go ahead and add drone controls to the mechs.
The Mighty Woosh
104 Missile Deployment Force
Spectacular Deliver

This could be good. At least that's the impression that I get.
