The only downside to the Soldiers of Fortune is that they're not going to be able to hit the broad side of a barn, from the inside. And yet, somehow, a Jeep is going to get flipped into the air.
Traktor muls are half the reason I'm eyeing this faction off. Having the cheap threat of indirect fire isn't something to be sniffed at. Being able to pair them with a door kicking Zuyong Link and cheap skirmisher FO camo markers... interesting.
Of course, that's why Valkyrie is there. Because each battle has to end with a good old fashioned fist fight. Cpt. Kirk would be so proud....
I see what you did there. But the point still stands that Ikari feels more Yu Jing than Dashat looks like it's going to be.
Probably wont be an issue, if your running the SOF link you'll most likely have an orc hmg be the 5th member for long(ish) range fire support. Otherwise you just ignore their weapons and just eclipse up the table and start breaking shit in cqc.
Funny, Foreign Company is EXACTLY what I was counting and hoping on that CB would do with mercenaries. Bring in the Aristeia! mercs, pair them with Kaplans which are also mercs but were not included into a NA2 merc sectorial yet. I am pretty happy with the result.
Which ones? The Kriza is an AVA 1 solo killing machine whilst the ORC is a lacklustre solo HI buoyed by the ability to join Fireteams. I mean, an ORC HMG and Kriza HMG are significantly different beasts.
For some unknown reason I was sure FC also have Mobile Brigada in a list, was asking about them. Consider question cancelled.
I was excited about Foreign Company until I realized I have none of the basic troops types for it. No Securitate, no Kaplans, one Brawler and one Bolt is all I have. I only have some of the special guys like Kriza, Uberfalls, Zero and a Crocman. I don't see myself buying more boxes for it when I haven't even played StarCo, and I have almost all of it already. I wish Dashat had more Yu Jing in it, it looks more like a pure Haqq sectorial than Qapu Khalki. Either way neither is a "play both Operation Icestorm/Red Veil armies at once" that I was hoping for.
Been so tempted to rebuy red veil this weekend + Tunguska starter + Soldiers of Fortune + Varuna starter + ... MUST WAIT FOR profile on army!! (few days to go)... Oh yeah and uberfall... being JSA player and CC adept, I know what I could do with these puppies (literally)
