Bringing it together Gruntz force "Legion Francaise Interstella"

By the time we got into space to fight other Gruntz Legion Franciose Interstella had been formed out of the original French Foreign Legion here is my force (So far)* see the end) for Gruntz. (All this is subject to change when Jon the person who shall teach me the rules reviews it!)

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.

Véhicule de reconnaissance léger Or Light reconnaissance vehicle.
 
Base Cost 1
Light Tank) =13
Wheeled +1
Main weapon Mount +1
Light Gatling Laser +2
veteran crew + 5
Modz ACTIVE CAMO +3

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

  1. 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

    1. Thank 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.

  2. I 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.

    1. Thank 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.

    1. Thank you Simon. You do not really notice the vehicles have different camouflage patterns. That is a big plus to me.

  7. That's quite a formidable looking force with everything a combat group should have.
