Sergeant_Crunch Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Was toying around with some unit combos and was wondering if anyone has used a Conquerer in a platoon with 3 Despots, each with the Airburst upgrade? Any insight as to the effectiveness is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy8 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Anybody sporting an infantry heavy force running up against that is going to end up having a REALLY bad day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 yeah, so run o ye rifle platoons with plans of raining ten airstrikes from on high during the first turn I really like the dual-purpose nature of the Despot, and combining it with the FRS and chainfire on the Conqueror seemed like a natural to me. This platoon will probably end up supporting another Armor platoon with what will most likely end up being an Emporer, 60 Dictator, either a Prince or Vanquisher, and a Khaaaaaaan.

Spartan6 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thunderbird, Two Hawk 6's and a Hawk5. Go Terrans!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy8 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I prefer a pair of 6's and a pair of 5's myself... or if I'm playing "defense" a pair of Falcons a Thunderbird and a Talon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 That would be nice, if I were playing some bipedal hairless chimpanzee that can talk. I think I've decide that the other platoon will be have a Prince instead of the Vanquisher. Now to convince the FLGS to order them for me. Apparently anything other than the Evil Empire's games aren't very popular around these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better watch it or we'll make it 3 for 3. My FLGS isn't nearly as bad as that. They've got a ton of different stuff... except every piece of CAV they have is NON-TERRAN! I have to order EVERYTHING. The only time I didn't was when the Ronin was released. It's unacceptable. BTW Whose the "Evil Empire"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe no one told you. Rach dont take kindly to insults... and they are even less kindly about challenges. Threats however are reacted to with swift domination.

Ivarr Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You guys just need to heed the word of Khardullis. We are all children of the same God....you guys just dont know it yet.....but.... YOU WILL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daHob Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Heh, I'm putting together a Rach force. However, am I the only one that thinks the Khan is ugly? I can't make myself buy one. The arms. So stunty! Hob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 I like the style of the Khan. The arms are a little simple, but I think anything else would detract from the smooth lines of the body. That and it's fun to yell "Khaaaaaaaan" when I put it on the table. I think I'm going to try to convince my wife to play today so I can try the conqueror and despots out with proxies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
