Subject: [DS 2] meandering about "Infantry on Steroids"
I was playing around with differences to individualize the Cotu nations and came across these variations on "Infantry" and Mechas in my doodling: Besides Line/Militia Infantry a nation/group might have - Assault Infantry (AS) only - PHR in Cotu (using OOP figures, waiting for Brigade Models figures) Power Armor (PA) only - RH in Cotu (use NSL or ESU?) Infantry Walkers (IW) only - NPC in Cotu (use NI and small BT PA as IW) Combat Walkers (CW) only - not used in Cotu AS + PA only - not allocated in Cotu currently but possible AS + IW only - IC (use IF and TBD as IW) AS + CW only - not used in Cotu PA + IW only - (these appear to be where the NAC, ESU, NSL and FSE figures from GZG congregate) PA + CW only - not used in Cotu IW + CW only - not used in Cotu PA + IW + CW only - not used in Cotu PA + IW + AS only - LLAR in Cotu (using NAC figures) PA + CW + AS only - not used in Cotu IW + CW + AS only - not used in Cotu All of these (AS + PA + IW + CW) - NEA in Cotu (use FSE for assault and PA, plus BT for IW and CW) None of these (Line + Militia only) - UNSC? Allowing that CW are to some degree background dependent and 'highly optional' perhaps - what of these combinations make sense (in a strictly SF tactical way)? Which seem 'unlikely' tactically? Gracias,
