Ahhh I thought the tank had a MGP look about it.... just couldn't place it. Actually thinking of the pics I have seen of the Z on wiki it does look a bit more blocky than your modded one.
Mr Evil said:use type 99 stats and you wont be to far ofChiwie said:any idea of stats on the Z's
So we'd be better off using a man with an AT-14s and wearing a cardboard box? :lol:
Love the look Evil, been working towards a similar look too. Although the overall feel of my army is more non-uniformed members of the MEA slowly infiltrating a city until they reach a critical mass and are able to strike at the opportune moment look... in other words no tanks. :lol:
That may change but I want to see how this army plays out now...it's already at 1500pts.
yeah we prefer not to have the tanks in as it destroys the feel, were thinking od doing it as a platoon of MEA irregulars working along side goverment troops in the future.
mea need tanks only for one reason though, and that is to eat points, and thats the only real reason we have them.
as
5 squads (95 asper box) = 475
3 fedyeen(180 asper box) = 540
12 technicals = 600
+ 6 rpg guys i got = 150
total =1765
will buy this week 3 more technicals and a box of norm mea = 245 points for a total of 2100 !!!!
i wont get any more mea stuff til goverment troops come out, then il get the gov infantry tanks an tungustas as a seperate force if that makes any sence.

Don't forget the discount on squad type units in a militia force....

(Corny salesmen pitch) Our militia is so cheap it's practically walking out the door. Buy one squad get two free, it's as simple as that. $ave, $ave, $ave*! :lol:
*Note this force will only save you points and not money. The MEA, while extremely cheap to feed, equip and arm, are actually the most expensive army to field as their points cost is so low. Stupid need to meet costs and make profits....
to be honest militia forces dont need that darn 25% discount, while the PLA do strikes me as odd.
those with playtest rules check out the germans and their points values !!! 50 points more, more modles and an extra gpmg plus 2 grenade launchers, more powerful rocket launchers and 2.5 times the range on them !!!! armour and a version of fist !!!!! its the pla infantry who need 25% reduction in points not the MEA

I'm not complaining! (well I am, but only about how much it costs for an 80-odd point squad) - When i get my wave 2 stuff, I'll finally be able to field a 1,000 point MEA army (6 squads of base infantry, each with 2 extra riflemen, one with an RPG, 1 squad Fedayeen with extra RPG and smiper, 6 technicals comes to roughly 1,000 including the 25% discount on the base troops) - I can't wait to see th elooks on people's faces when they face off against that lot.

the 25% discount is part of the militia army list in the advanced rules. And the German infantry are out in wave 6 or 7, IIRC.
