Droid Commanders! Mortal Robot Combat
« on: May 25, 2016, 06:59:14 pm »



Note: This is going to be a not so serious Suggestion game where you control a bunch of droids to slaughter a bunch of dudes for sport! I'm using a program called RexPaint to make the images and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a method to create ASCII images. It's a great program and I'm hoping to use this as a way to get better at utilizing it as well as to get better at making ASCII maps/images.

6x [INF] = 12 pts.
1x [AT] = 5 pts.
1x [SNP] = 8 pts.
Total = 25 pts.

+1

Might as well experiment first before thinking too hard about loadout, I suppose.

I want an MG droid in there as well, but I can't see an easy way to swap around the points. Guess we'll just have to buy one next round.

I'd like a Machine Gun as well to suppress the enemy, then use the sniper to take them out from their cover. Perhaps we could swap out the AT for the MG? There might not be that much heavy armor on the enemy's side.

If they're miners then they could have lots of heavy mining vehicles, Red Faction style, so I'd rather have two as opposed to just one antitank weapon (I'm assuming that lasers won't be very good at burning through thick armor). Not to mention that I'd think that an autocannon would do just fine for making infantry keep their heads down if it cannon has HE rounds.

I read that autocannons only carry limited ammo, plus they overheat when you sustain their fire, so if it's just infantry, they won't be keeping their heads down for long :P. (I just read this on Wikipedia, so don't take my word for it!)

But this is the future with combat droids, so maybe their autocannons are different?

You're right about them probably having heavy mining vehicles and equipment, though. They'd probably hit hard in melee with their drills and such.

Maybe the sniper could take care of their heavy vehicles instead of the autocannon? I'm guessing most of them are open-topped, so the sniper could take 'em out. (We're screwed if their vehicles are automated though, so then anti-armor would be essential, 'cause there's no driver to kill.)

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.
