[lastbesthope]

im privy to a list of releases upto crimbo

I got the list Evil speaks of from Matt at the Open Day, though Matthew was pointing out that this was the 'planned' releases, i.e. it's likely been knocked a month back with more recent developments.

@ Paladin, if you wuold like a scan of the list, send me your email sir and I'll whip you a .jpg of the file.

Or anyone else who wants a copy for that matter.

Nor does that list on Evo command have all the units hinted at, but it's still a good list.

what's it missing?

I've looked at the AT-43 miniatures... I didn't like them as much as the Evo figures I've received recently. I really like my little PLA men. Too bad I'll have to send them off to die soon.

Yeah sure and MGP is very open about this. But I don't buy into a system because the company is not as bad as another one, I buy it because it looks good and I can see where it is going. Just because AT-43 might be a lot worse in supporting its customers or GW more expensive does not mean I automatically chose BFEvo.

Don't get me wrong I like MGP and have a lot of their stuff at home, I like the look of the game, but I still need a little more convincing. And I am one of the converted anyway, so I can understand how some people might be somewhat skeptical about the game.

i just cant own enough of the darn stuff !!!!

so far 6 units of pla infantry, no way on earth i would have painted or contemplated painting 60 little eastern doa's

i had 4 units but 4 is an unlucky number in chineese as it sounds like death

That list is ery enlightening LBH. Is it fair game to discuss on the boards?

Well the list was being openly passed around on the Open Day, so I guess so. Caveat is that MAtt was emphasising that this was a planned list of releases, ergo subject to change and possibly the delays that have been mentioned already.

Indeed it has been. EvoCommand has been updated with the latest and greatest intel.

 

[lastbesthope]

YEs you have haven't you.

Nice to see the EFTF page more like the list I saw

Glad it's out there now.

I understand the uncertainty in that list, I am looking at that as merely a guidline. I still have not settled on which force to collect and thought the list might provide some elightenment.

A couple of things stuck out....


No mortars or other indirect fire weapons are planned as far as I can tell.

The USMC will have a whole release of Stinger teams? Assuming those are only AA weapons, which I think Stingers are, I am not sure I would want a whole box of them.

The EFTF will have quite a Tank/Infantry selection.

I am glad to see the LAV-AD on the list as it just looks cool, but the lack of a LAV-25 means I can't pursue the LAR Company.



So, after studying the list and typing this I have the same issues as before....I really just want it all! I had hoped it would helped me to narrow down a decision, but there is too much cool stuff planned to decide. I mean who doesn't want a Revered Leader model!

No mortars or other indirect fire weapons are planned as far as I can tell.

Two reasons for this. First, most indirect weapons have a HUGE range that is better represented by the artillery rules in the main rulebook.

Second, a lot of armies are replacing mortars at squad level with underslung grenade launchers.

The USMC will have a whole release of Stinger teams? Assuming those are only AA weapons, which I think Stingers are, I am not sure I would want a whole box of them.

You might, when you see the effect of aircraft

Stinger teams are very cheap, points-wise, and usually worth the investment, especially in larger games.

I had thought it migt be something like that....good to know.

I see..... :shock:

I guess it seemed like something to stick with the command team, but if you say i need a bunch, how can I argue.

What about a SMAW? The Corp certainly loves those things.

 

[Proteus454]

Say, help a military-wise-noob out. ARE Stingers AA only? I thought they were usable against armour also.

i think there AA only... but hell troops could improvise in a REALLY REALLY tight spot

 

[The-Patriot]

The FIM-92 Stinger, surface-to-air missile is indeed an AA weapon.
The stinger is not effective against ground vehicles.

Well, assuming the warhead arms shortly (and I mean very shortly, like 1/100ths of a second) it could be used in a direct fire role. After all Nicholas Cage in Firebirds downed the bad-guy in about 50 yards using one. :wink:

 

[The-Patriot]

If anything, don't take movies seriously, Stringers are heatseaking missles, you don't aim the weapon at the target, the missle dose the work for you.

So you would be pretty much trying to guess if you'll hit the enemy or not, which is just a waste of missles. And also why the Army does not use them in a direct fire role in the first place.
