MI Tanks - the Mongoose Way. . .

[Paladin]

New MI air drop platoons?

Um... How does that differ from the drop pods?

 

[Mage]

Make a new platoon, maybe like striker suits but more encasing, as much armour, with more thruster, and maybe throw in some air transporters and have them like a transporter army, like a MI 'cult of speed' or 'steel legion', but in hover craft.

 

[Gauntlet-]

neat but the MI have so many toys already, why not let some other race have this idea?

 

[Hiromoon]

Because one can never have too many toys.

 

[Gauntlet-]

yeah but if the MI can do just about everything there will be no room for other races to be unique now will there?

 

[Mage]

You can give them tentacles, LOL.

Maybe aliens could be different. It is a human idea after all.

 

[Gauntlet-]

uhm Mage to date and for any future date assuming not much changes....

Everything is a Human idea.

Ya know :wink:

 

[Mage]

I meant that they were for a human faction. I mean such a thing could never work for forth because they are so big, nor for arachnids as it stands. As for skinnies they are not known for their air support.

It would be nice to on humans. So too for another race, but you would have to develop them and say why that is their style of warfare. Some races may not use such a technique as it does not fit with culture or tech or their style of thinking.

 

[Gauntlet-]

yeah some races wouldn't and others would and you would of course have to argue why and why not (which is very easy)... thats not really a point... its not an argument to give humans fast deployment warfare or aliens for that matter...

humans already achieve the exact same warfare you want via their

A. drop pods
B. drop ships
C. incredibly mobile powersuits
D. their jet bike (okay there is no model)

Seriously the MI already are the cult of speed and high deploy army... we just don't have the proper model support for non-proxy armies.


I'm just confused as to what you want here? The Cap Troopers are the lighter but encased MI...

 

[Mage]

A new type of air transported platoon with aircraft. not powersuits. Something lighter but not LAMI.

 

[Hiromoon]

Well, by the logic of 'if the MI have it, then an alien race isn't unique' the forth are certainly not unique then. I mean, large scale robotic vehicles are so an MI thing.

 

[Gauntlet-]

very true- though at least the Forth can't do anything else currently... they MUST use allot of big vehicles. The MI can do swarms of little guys, medium guys, large guys, largish guys who are faster, or a mixture of all of it.

So I suppose your right in that currently its virtually impossible to stand out in terms basic game-play- The MI can replicate almost anything.

That isn't compelling reason to to give them something between their light infantry and their medium infantry... in fact its compelling IMO to reduce their options... if it were up to me I would eliminate the Marauder Platoon, and force Marauders to be assets given to Cap Squads and so forth.

But thats just me.

 

[Hiromoon]

And thank goodness it isn't. Sorry Gauntlet, but I like my toys and trying to take 'em away will get you a dice bag between the eyes!

LOL I like that, thats a signature line!
