These last 2 are a bit dodgy as the rules make no allowance for a SINGLE SQUAD split among more than one vehicle. So I can only use them IF my opponent agrees. As a point of Fair play if oe vehicle id destroyed and not the other I shal allow the opponent to select the squad attachment that is destroyed!)Seems only fair as he would be allowing me to use them not strictly I keeping with the rules.

OKAY this is the first time trying to sort out a basic force cost sheet for Grunts. IF any seasoned gruntz players look at this they will probably chuckle, smile or Howl with laughter depending on how much I have wrong! And there is bound to be some.
But that is it for now My brain is doing back flips.
I do have several things which shall be added over the next week or so
A couple (actually 3 Specialisest; 1 medic in a Mash and 2 vehicle repair specialists in a "fitters Truck")
As a final note I think the computer has translated nearly everything into french and as such almost every word I can see is highlighted as spelt wrong!
Until next time take care, have fun and pant like a mad man!
All the best Clint
Great looking force Clint, can't comment on the force organisation, as I've never seen the rules, but it looks great with a good balance of troops and vehicles
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave . I must be honest as It is mostly me organising my thoughts. I am sure there are things wrong with my points calculations. One thing I did not say is how many of each type I have which would either balance a force or tip it over in some way. That has been left out deliberately as I do not know how many points we will play to.
DeleteI am totally unfamiliar with this rules set, so I can't comment on the accuracy of your force selection, but they look fine to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I realise you are more 28mm than 15mm and there is nothing wrong with either, Therefore I was not expecting you to know the rules. In fact I doubt many would.
DeleteYup me either, never heard of the rules but the minis look fab
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. I have yet to play the rules so I am pretty much in the dark as you are. Sending you an email.
DeleteThank you Lee. No doubt chat on Sunday!
ReplyDeleteCracking looking force Clint. I really must return to my NAC forces but cant decide on a rule set to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carl. As I keep saying I have not tried "Gruntz" yet but so far it looks OK. I will let you know more after a game or 2.
DeleteReally great coherent looking force mate. Top work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. You do not really notice the vehicles have different camouflage patterns. That is a big plus to me.
DeleteThat's quite a formidable looking force with everything a combat group should have.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. Quite enough to start with I am sure. That said I should get more done this week . Not a huge amount but the little extras.
DeleteGood work on those GZG vehicles!
ReplyDeleteThank you Skully. Not tried the rules out yet but hopeful of a game soon. (at least before Christmas)
