do you guys use battle armour much?
>>97267202My group has politely requested I bring BA less than I do.
I'm trying to make a single Star of a few different clans, for flavor and painting funbesides the Adder, are there any clan mechs that just scream Clan Star Adder to you?This surely isn't because I received some clan boxes over the holidays that I don't know what to do with
>>97267355Blood Asp (Star Adder) :)
Will spraying some vanish before painting a resin 3D prints help? Right now the print lines make the surface too uneven? Not sure how should I call it.
>>97267202I'm going to in an upcoming campaign. I feel like swarm attacks are a bit of a pipe dream due to taking three entire turns to pull off if you're not using hidden unit rules.
>>97267492They only take two. You spend one turn attaching, then start inflicting damage next turn.
>>97267202I've never used battle armor. Plenty of conventional infantry.
>>97267555You also have to spend one getting them into range unless the enemy is particularly braindead.
>>97267371Ok, thank youI guess I'll do one for Blood Spirit thenbut I haven't looked into them at all yet
>>97267342Tell them you have brought ASFs instead, and then once the game starts, reveal that they are Kirghiz Cs and airdrop many Battle armor on top of them.>it was funnier when they couldn't airdrop BA, but I'm glad they patched the rules to allow it
>>97267202Too much
>>97268160Why couldn't they air drop BA? That's literally in the TRO description.
>>97268250Because the rules specified what kind of units could airdrop and ASF wasn't one of them.
>>97268250Theere are 2 differences between a cargo bay, and a passenger bay/compartment. The latter includes life support for it's occupants (a bay is indefinite, a compartment is something like a week), and it also includes the ability to deploy the carried unit while in flight. That's the only difference. A cargo bay has neither of those things. Basically the entire reason to take a passenger bay instead of a cargo bay in a game is to allow for airdrops.The Kirghiz C was written before passenger bays/compartments existed. Therefore it's got cargo bays on the record sheet. Therefore, for a very long time, it was legally incapable of dropping it's BA while in flight. CGL didn't want to alter the Kirghiz record sheet to give it passenger compartments because they don't ever change sheets of possible. This entire bullshit is why NEA got the Troika 6MC published, which actually includes a BA compartment.A few years back, they finally issued a rules errata that allows jump-capable infantry and BA to airdrop from a cargo bay. So the situation is fixed. But for a good while it was stupid.
