Looks fun, I'll have to try it if I can get all of the pieces again.

My only suggestion would be to sub CNC ATVs for the Kurita ones, little more life, but a little slower, for one point more each, bringing you up to 559, only one point under.

yea my luck on getting CNC ATVs hasnt been so hot, I have 6 HKs and only 1 CNC. but I will see what I can do to get another. and I can use one of each for now.

do you have any better ideas on the gear for the sabertooth...

I think agility is a great gear for black blade....

A possible change, depending on your terrain selection would be to drop Agility and one Kurita ATV, add on Electronic Camoflauge(sp?) and 2 DF or CNC ATVs for an even 600 points.

Other possibilities would be to use some of the different gear at 35 points, particularly Armor Piercing for that balistic damage.

Ah. The beautiful thing about Heavy Ferro is that it works with other gear. So if you really wanted you could add Light FF and laugh at puny 5 damage Assault 'mechs trying to hurt you.

I think its a nice solid army, run Katana in and thwak a mech, then run lossey in and triple pulse them to death.

I really like the looks of sabertooth with pilot. it has the punch of allot of the heavyer mechs and the AO of some of the longer range units. now comming from CJF and then HK I really never thought to much about damage reduction. so putting heavy FF armor on somthing seems kind of odd to me, but I really do not see any other gear that stands out. maybe AP......

now katana I see in a different light after playing her, I got her hammered the first time I played her. I think with her I am better off taking shots with her secondary and keeping out of range of anything too damaging, let her take some small shots here and there.... let her get knocked down into her HTH weapon then use her run AO to smack something really really hard (if i roll good)

can't sabertooth use the prize pilots +1 attack ability even if it AO's? the card says that he can move up to his speed and make a ranged combat attack. and the +1 attack requires a ranged combat attack whitch he is doing.

I think that he can move and get a +1 to attack, but others say no he cant. what do you guys think.

My only caveat with Sabretooth is its weakness against Hardened Armor. Of course, this can be solved with the Armor Peircing gear. You could also put on the slightly redundant PPC Capacitor gear.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the +1 attack require a ranged combat order?

That is different to an Assault Order.

k, good. if it worked the way i said it, then i would be trying really hard to get the pilot.

well most of the time around here I will see atleast one shiro with hardened armor.

for that I figured I can try and take out enough points in suport that they have to bring the shiro to me, and by that time katana can take enough damage to get put into her HTH to crack some of the shiros armor off. katana is not a bad charger also.

katana can take out allot of suport with her secondary and sabertooth can take out anything with out armor.



do you think I should got with somthing other then 3 TBs in the infantry drop though...

@Scaleback:

The trouble with Shiros is that they are really hard to avoid with that 23" assault order range. The Shiro player can bring one to bear pretty easy.

As far as using something else other than T-Birds for a drop... Nah. The only other viable alternatives would be either an SC, Morgan, SC Enyo, :^^^: Cizin, or SC Fulcrum. None of these have the attack value of a formation of :^^^: T-Birds.

The T-Birds are also useful for getting at units in hindering, capture attempts, and base/breaking.

well, the shiros reach isnt so bad katana can take a shot from a shiro, and if i have to i charge katana down his throat.

as for the TBs, i wasnt thinking of replacing them totaly, but I was thinking a HK oni in the mix might be good...

I really like the mix of HK and CNC they seem to fill each others weaknesses
