Question: Your force?
Whatīs your force composition for year 2000+ battles (3500pts)? Nowadays I like to buy at least two top-of-the-line MBTs (vision 40) and maybe 2-5 "worse" (vision 20-30)tanks for flexibility and killing those darned arena/virss BMPs and for inf support etc. Then add two companies of APC infantry, preferably in fast APCs (30+ speed), to gain ground early on. I rarely buy IFVs, but sometimes again canīt avoid the temptation of Arena-BMP3s.
I try to settle for 120mm mortars for artillery, since these pack a true punch, but sometimes I canīt avoid the 155mm SPA stuff, just for the kick of it. I seldom buy towed artillery, in fear of on-map counter-battery, but my mortars are always towed. If low on points, Iīll settle with the 81mm, but think that they donīt usually meet my tactical needs for artillery, in 3500pts battles. Smaller forces, with lot of infantry is another matter for them though.
AA is usually non-existent, maybe a few Stingers or something like that. But when Iīve seen a lot of air, maybe fighting the Americans or Israeli, I find it very satisfying watching those birds go down. So if the situation requires and your 500point MBTs need protection, I try to opt for a high-tech SPAA and few Stingers in support. This doesnīt help with stand-off attacks, but those JDAM etc. aircrafts are so expensive, that the enemy force is usually that much weaker on ground, that I can lose some heavy vehicles.
Anybody want to lighten this forum up with comments?
