Storminator Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 So I'm thinking of the FPP, and APCs. What's the purpose of an APC? To move troops. Anything else? Survive while doing so. So I striped down a Lynx. Yank off the Piranha, and drop the TL computer to the Egam 3c. No fighting, just moving troops, it's a 64 point unit. Is that too extreme?

Leech Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 No, since this is a valued tactic..... Step 1 - take an APC or Gunship (AT) Step 2 - remove all weapon systems Step 3 - remove TL Step 4 - add +4 ECM (make and model to taste) Step 5 - add MM or ARM upgrades to taste You then end up with something not that much cheaper than your APC/AT with a lot more survivability. Can't shoot for toffee and needs guarding, but that's what fast Heavies and FV's are for :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it won't let me have any +4 ECM computers, the best are +3s. Is that something I need to report? PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOldcorn Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Is it valid to have no TL, ECM or Breeder, if it is I while add a none category to the combo lists. Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leech Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 As far as I know Stuart, having no TL or ECM is valid, it just prevents you from doing those actions (trying to get TL or defending against it) so they auto fail (your opponent auto-TL's you if you have no ECM... it's something to be aware of if you fit a ECM too small for your CAV/unit). And while you could have no breeder, doing so would prevent you from moving or firing any weapons whatsoever. With regards to the +4 ECM, I'm not sure if there is a gunship or vehicle +4 and if CAV-RC doesn't show one then there can't be one. Suggest people ignore step 4 :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
