Well I started DSII straight from playing Epic. And like the fool I was
designed my units (numbers and type) the same as I had in Epic.

Now though I find the most effective force is a very mixed one. Forget just
big guns go for a mix of weapons and vehicle size.

My typical armoured unit is 2 size 2 light tanks but with class 3 MDC's 1 size
3 medium tank but also with a class 3 MDC (leaves room for
secondry weapon GMS/L or RFAC)
and to finish a Missile vehicle normally size 3 with atleast 3 GMS/H!!!!
(and possibly a secondry weapon)

Although some people on this list hate mixed units because of logistics!!! and
a dose of reality overload
:)
But within this unit are a maximum of 3 weapon types, 70% of which are the
same caliber and all the vehicles are GEV.

Anyway i digress. the above unit allows me to face practically any battlefield
situation. And my main opponent has adopted this mixed approach because his
units of 3 or 4 of the same vehicle couldn't survive 3 MDC's and 3 Heavy
missles.

I also use size 4 heavy tank but it is sill armed with class 3 MDC, but it has
2 of them.
