SOTR American Army List

[Bubbles]

So unlike my other miniature games I have decided to actually do some planning when it comes to my army for SOTR and this is what I have this far. I was aiming for 50 rp but got it up to 49 rp.

AI command Sqaud
Upgrade to veteran 3rp
Lt and Staff Sargeant get BAR and range finder
Medic with thompson smg
Corporal and 1 private receive a BAR
1 private remains with a garand
Cost 10 rp

2 AI squads
Uprgade to Veteran 3rp
Sarge and corporal BAR
Packed 30.cal
1 private BAR
3 privates get explosive
Cost 11 rp

Bazooka team No uprgrades Cost 2rp

Commanche Sqaud of 3
Small chassis 1rp
Light armour 2 rp
LMG 2rp
Assault pod Free
5 x 3=15 rp

I haven't played a lot of games so this is only what I have seen to be effective thus far. I heard that americans Lay down a very high amount of fire so I've been going with that. Im not sure If a 3 squad of commanches are effective if not I will swap it out with a sqaud of Engineers and maybe some mortars or 50.cal machineguns. What do you guys reckon.

[Commander Vyper]

Good selection, any vehicles for mechanised troops or tanks in there? make them nice and mobile with some heavier tracked support? Oh and a supersoldier too, nice game changer.

The Commander.

[Hat Guy]

I'm with the Commander, you need some heavier armour there, like a Medium mech or at least Med AT rockets on the light mechs. Any MG heavy army (like Para Commandos) is going to pick those big units apart pretty quick.

The first payment of 3RP for veteran status apply to the whole platoon (including Support options)see page 88 of the rulebook. Save yourself 6RP by removing this from your AI squads, add body Armour to your Platoon Command (the AI squads will then gain it automatically you will then have 5RP left to spend.
I suggest you use this on a Anti-Tank Halftrack with Pintle Mounted HMG 5RP

I didn't know you only payed once for veteran upgrades hmmm I'll have to change that. Im gonna change the Number of commanche's to one because thats all you really need as it's in an Anti Infantry role. I'll definitely throwing in a super soldier and some heavier Mechs. Maybe an Engineer sqaud with some bazooka's

Yeah, that puzzled me for a while too. it's in the general section of the OOBs with the truck options, i think it should have really have been printed in each individual OOB so you are not flicking back and forth through the book, i ended up cutting all of the pages out and putting them in plastic wallets in a folder to make it easier -

The light mechs don't have to work as a unit so you cant equip each differently and they all target different things, give 2 of them medium AT weapons and keep one with an MG or a flame thrower for anti infantry. That with a Super Soldier is close to what i usually run and it does quite well.

[TheShadow]

i recommend a super soldier too, used one for the first time in my last game and was very impressed with him ignoring sniper head shots, taking on tanks like the Hulk, was a fun game, shame he got blasted to pieces by another tank !

Does anyone know about support options with larger pointed Armies because in a 100rp army 3 support options isn't alot of specialist firepower. Also a DUST mickey would be the size of a Large walker wouldn't it not a Medium walker.

[Hat Guy]

Benny and I use the Hot Dog/Mickey as a Medium American mech, yeah it's a little big, but if everyone's happy?

[Benny]

Personally i give the sentinel a BAR instead of a Thompson as the range as he closes on the enemy is just too good to pass up but otherwise looks pretty close to the list i run and i do ok with it.
As for the extra support options, either do one of the lists from Doomsday as they allow more of the weird and expensive stuff or with your opponents permission do 2 separate platoons with separate command structures and separate support options.
