All at class 4. Or Hordes of GMS/H or GMS/L vehicles all size 1 or two and FGEV powered. My final answer? The Hordes - make them buy the better PDS and costlier ECM. Run and Gun. Die Gloriously. And all the 4 capacity 'battle rider' infantry I could squeeze in. > 2. If you had to assemble a force wielding only "energy" weapons, There are only two 'energy' weapons - DFFG and HEL right? DFFG with as much arty and airpower I could buy. Lots of smoke with some MAK and "Mortars, mortars, mortars" (Mortar, and an extra ammo marker on size two frame vehicles) at Company level. Minimize the Infantry and make a fair percentage of it Assault units (and maybe some PA if I could squeeze it in a size two (PDS/basic and PA) carrier.) > 3. If you were one of the above two forces facing the other, what GMS force: run circles as much as possible, shoot every turn every missile I could and use dismounted infantry to hold positions I took/had to hold firing lots of IAVRs to supplement my GMS armed carriers. "Energy" force - Pin with arty/mortars/airpower - fire smoke liberally - close and ruthlessly 'burn' any infantry or vehicle within range (closer the better) - alternate move/fire and full move units in any platoon if I had to suppress defensive fire with DFFGs but that's a worse choice in my mind. And PRAY. Buy Loaded Dice??? Only kidding about the last one... Gracias,
