It's always good to hear from more experienced players. <br /><br />I guess I'll toy around for a bit to see what suits my playstyle best and then go from there. I'll probably make one Strike Cheetah just because I like the look of the RFB, but HHG do sound nice as well... :)Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273617095134919455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-10988293453230535712010-01-05T19:52:35.579+01:002010-01-05T19:52:35.579+01:00Oh, Ferrets are cute and funny looking, but don...Oh, Ferrets are cute and funny looking, but don't ever mistake them for joke vehicles. They're cheap, hard to hit, and pack a very respectable punch with an MRF, the TD is icing on the cake.<br />RFBs have never been very popular, due to short range, but the Cheetah is probably the best platform for that weapon, since it has the speed and defence to go to close range easily.<br />Having Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340252329059315727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-43193528047954315132010-01-05T15:22:11.223+01:002010-01-05T15:22:11.223+01:00Well, seeing how I really stared liking the Ferret...Well, seeing how I really stared liking the Ferret model that's a very good idea. At the moment I'm limited by the models I have but I'll definitely keep it in mind.<br /><br />My original force had mortars for the infantry but in the end I went for AGR to free up some points for the costly Cheetahs. Hehe! I really do want a less "elite heavy" army in the end though.<br /><Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273617095134919455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-70879084660344122022010-01-05T08:48:05.275+01:002010-01-05T08:48:05.275+01:00That's a solid base, easily tweakable too. Che...That's a solid base, easily tweakable too. Cheetahs are good machines, but very expensive, so you have to make sure they fill a role in your army, especially at such low TV. The Cheetahs in the dragoon can easily serve a dual purpose by getting equipped with FGC/HHG. The FGC is pretty mediocre, but HHGs are downright brutal, especially on such a chassis. On the other hand, do you need 140 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340252329059315727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-43413416436307213692010-01-05T08:17:11.510+01:002010-01-05T08:17:11.510+01:00Yes, I thought I'd start with 750 and build up...Yes, I thought I'd start with 750 and build up from there.<br /><br />You can see the force I've planned out in <a href="http://firebroadside.blogspot.com/2009/12/heavy-gear-here-we-go.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>.

I assume PL 2, which sub-faction, NAF or WFPA ?<br />If you take a "strike-lite" dragoon (excellent choice by the way, but you'll have to make each shot count), have you pondered placing the pair of cheetahs in that squad, so as toAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340252329059315727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-687653814754543082010-01-05T06:20:36.987+01:002010-01-05T06:20:36.987+01:00Thanks!

Glad you like it! <br /><br />Dimitri/Hudson D, I actually read that article as I was putting together my first army, and the first iteration used a lot of your ideas (three Rabid Grizzlies in the Dragoon Squad), however I went for (hopefully) more survibable Jaguars/Cheetahs since it's only a TV 750 force so far. <br />I do love the Grizzly though and will get some as soon as Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273617095134919455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816649425171456382.post-12370469757456868172010-01-05T05:04:56.707+01:002010-01-05T05:04:56.707+01:00Very nice Gears.
