Do you match or mix?
« on: August 29, 2010, 01:05:52 PM »
I just finished reading the AC57 rules and then ordered some mini's.  I'll probably need to paint up another gang for some other friends, so I was curious.  Do you guys who have been playing for a while fill your unit all from one gang or do you mix?

I'm mostly curious about how often that mixed unit test comes into play (unless you've got President for Life Nixon of course!).  I'm a notoriously bad dice roller so these are things I seriously have to consider...

Let me start off by saying i am a bit of a purist when it comes to these smaller scale games.
In general it takes so few miniatures to field a decent 'gang' in AC'57 that it would seem silly to mix them up.
HOWEVER
i would also say that the scanario could dictate odd match ups.
i also am a sucker for storyline, so perhaps if one of your cops, spends his spare time bowling... and POOF you have a mixed gang...

Thanks for the input DD-Chris.  I'm a bit of a "purist" myself too, so just decided not to mix them up.  I ended up just ordering two packs of the Rollergirls.

The rollergirls are an excellent choice. You would be amazed at how devastating a drive by smack down can be. :D

Shouldn't that be 'roll-by'?  :)

Any day soon, now, I shall be treating myself to the rules and a few minis... Just need to get the final moving business done...

Darn, this has been a cold turkey...
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!
