So, let me get this straight.
We're taking the regiment type known for going into incredibly dangerous missions with no support.
The commander who specialises in ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK and is prone to foolish mistakes in anger.
We have very few soldier, little chance of getting more, and many of the ones we do get may well be useless for our purpose.
Oh, and we also have trouble retreating from the enemy, to the point of needing willpower tests to do so, for a specific hated enemy.
Not to mention our men have a duelling problem.

Well, this is going to be a short game.

Also, I rolled an 8 for toughness. It's going to be even shorter for me...

We have drop harness things when we are jumping outta our planes. But jump jacks for us? Maybe... probably not.

We are bay12vers. We will be fine.

[Alexandria]

Well I'm ok with the drawbacks, as long as we get best quality weapon or armor at least I don't mind what else we get but both would be better.

I'm guessing that the stealth kit is the forward observation equipment doctorine?

[Remuthra]

There are a couple. I think one of them gives an active camo suit.

[Alexandria]

We could replace The Few, with Condemned. But thats a -20 to fellowship rolls with other regiments. It would mean better reinforcement rates for us though.

Are you actually reading what the traits do, or just looking at the most obvious mechanical effects? Taking that trait is basically suicide. Literally, that's the missions you get sent on if you have it. We'd probably end up with far worse reinforcement rates, and higher casualties to boot.

[Alexandria]

In any case.

We've got Forgeworld, Drop trooper, Choleric leader for sure.

Anybody against upgrading our starting equipment to best quality for 20 points?


I did read it and it doesn't mention reinforcements rates being effected, but he has a point. Drop trooper with low reinforcements will make a horrible game so we need to replace The Few with something.

[Elfeater]

Well, what about Infiltrators, with Covert strike?
We could be a regiment based on dropping behind enemy lines and causing as much havoc as possible, blowing up supply lines, etc. Letting other regiments hit the front and be the big tanky units.
Also, saying that it would ruin the game is not true, if we are elite, we wont need as many reinforcements.

[Alexandria]

Drop trooper casualty rates are massive and we won't be real elites, we're still barely more then green soldiers. We'll get ground down and crushed in 2-3 missions without reinforcements.

[Elfeater]

Unless we did what I was talking about, and were the stealthy harassing troopers. Those missions are going to have us with the advantage, and allow us to escape, but may leave us caught behind enemy lines. (which imo will be fun from a game play standpoint)

[Alexandria]

It'll still involve a lot of casualties more then likely though. Whatever way we take it drop troopers get given the short end of the stick. So limited reinforcements is going to become a serious problem

[Elfeater]

Pfffft, its fine! It will be great fun!

[Remuthra]

Indeed. We'll just need to play smart. I'm for the covert aesthetic. We can be the force they send in when they need a quick extraction or someone to take something out behind enemy lines.

[Alexandria]

Lol yeah says the guy who won't be out front in every fight I'm a trooper lol it's my job to lead the charge. I would like to survive this game you know .

Charging enemies who out number us 10-1 is going to be a bit of an issue
But heh true it will be fun and I do have a +10 to stealth already. so works for me.

We need best quality guns at least, that costs 10 and means guns will never jam or overheat.

[Alexandria]

Ok so we have.

We've got Forgeworld, Drop trooper, Choleric leader, Infiltrator training doctorine, Covert strike special equipment, Best quality weapons, The Few, Lost Homeworld, Honour Bound.

How many points does that leave us?
