Targe 159
Zahn x2
Glory Fire Support x2
ATV Squad x4
443 points

I'd load the GFST's into the Zahns and push them straight up the middle and deploy the tanks. Run the Targe to create a new group formation with the GFST's and start whacking the enemy. Use the ATV squads to base and break.

Sound principle, it seems, yet I think the Glory Tanks may end up struggling a bit - using them as your central beatstick will draw them into a volume of offensive fire and attention they are unlikely to withstand.
Also, if your opponent likes arty, then you may find yourself hardpressed to stop him shelling twelve hells out of your mech and tanks. Better to go with a couple of Shun Drops, with a selection of Fa Shih and Salamanders. I've tried a pair of Garrots using buildings to cover their approach, over on the wing, while carrying a pair of MHI DefAAs - worked okay, but seen better...
Just some thoughts..., but the Targe RULES!!! :devious:

To counter the artillery, that's where I'd try to use the ATV's. AA is a concern here, but with the Shuns heavy armor, it's more feasible than with others. The MHI's IT SE is also very attractive and would get me AWE. I might pull 1 Zahn/GFST pair out and fill in with something else, though.

443 pts.? You really need to go back and find a better way to get closer to 450 pts. As it is, you're handing your opponent 7 VC2 points off the bat. And with the build the way it is, your games are going to be close (because you won't be blowing anyone out of the water). I'd suggest scrapping one or both tankdrops in favor of Arrow IVs or light tanks. Or both.
