Aff.

I failed to mention that I recently had a "fun" game against Star Commander Joho, and the end was as close as it gets. I had eliminated a single VTOL from his force all game, and the only thing that kep me alive was the clock running out.

I have played a twin Loki force many times, and it has never been close. I have always eliminated my opponent in record time.

Star Commander Joho not only went the distance, but came very close to handing me a sound defeat. I proclaim that had the clock ten more minutes, I would have been walloped.

Truly, Warrior that has continued to grow and improve.

What gear do you normally run with your twin Loki's?

Cheers,:)

None. Generic pilots, too. I give one a Frihet Grad, and the other Star Commander. Having a Pulse for 5 as a stock SE is "gear" enough. Additionally, that generally leaves anough room for more support than one would normally have with two Heavy-Class Battlemechs. In a 600 pointer, I have one formation of elite CBAs and one formation of PAL suits as basers. In a 750 pointer, I add a PHX with a Minoru Kurita Grad, a formation of elite CBA and a pair of Sylphs.

Gear has become like crack to some players, who believe that you must *always* have it. True, it can be handy from time to time, but it not a necessity...

...especially in the case of our Loki

Here are the examples mentioned above, as well as an additonal 750 pointer:

I love blitz , but im kanda stuck on what gear to use with him, any suggestions!

A 9 base AV screams for IT....in my opinion.

i'd have to agree with recon_raven IT is definitely a must unless you do nothing but MDFA with it then the IT does nothing in that case electronic camoflauge or some kind of armor would be a good choice or maybe aditional heat sinks or case so you don't shut down or blow yourself up...

Truthfully, when I ran Blitz, I ran him without gear.

Blitz didn't need IT to crack high DV targets, he had MDFA (and IT doesn't work with MDFA anyway). His range was nowhere near good enough to snipe (so IT didn't help there) and he was generally fast enough to lurk outside of the enemy range anyway (so ECM wasn't as useful) and he already had melee gear which is where mine always ended up. His DV isn't high enough to make Decoy useful and his (average) 10 AV is more than enough to smoke infantry and vehicles (with a few notable exceptions).

The other reason not to gear him is points. Blitz/pilot is still very cheap. Blitz and a PHI with Kurita/IT? Yeah, find the weak spot there. As he stands, he's got melee, MDFA and TSM. That's a lot of good stuff to start with.

What I did do was slap a Santos into him and DFA with an 11 speed. Hopefully he was even running hot when he DFAed. That ammo pop is weak weak weak and his starting stats are very stable, so I did exactly what he implied: blitz. Get into position, DFA, melee, let the chips fly where they may.

thanks guys apreciate it, i donty have it for a heavy, dam kurita player has it! i was thinking of EC for a round 200, but then i thought to myself, here in south africa almost no one does indirect attacks, unless its arty. idea i did have though was to run it with rapid strike or retractable blade for later in the game and then also some fast infantery to give it a attack boost in close combat.

Rapid strike would be fun on blitz. Anyone looking forward to playing some real combined arms games for the halloween events? Anybody got suggestions for what their going to run?

Hail, Jollyroger, I will have to check those events and see. I tend to run combined arms in any case, as a Mech-only force always seems to fall prey to any force with fast infantry.

I will keep you posted :)

just want to ask if i use rapid strike on blitz, does the brawling damage stil count, i know you cant use two gears at the same time but the one ads damage and the other just allows you to make another attack?

Nope. One attack, one gear, take your pick. Generally I'd say not worth it. If you want Rapid Strike, take Paschke. :)

Melee Retrofit might be nice, but then I'd probably use Milargo.

"Milagro" rocks (note sig...). Mind you, I have never used "Pheonix"

I have a least a full galaxy of Jade Falcons.

I could use someone's help with building a force that will cause a lot of pain to House Liao
House Davion
Clan Wolf
Repubublic of The Sphere
House Steiner

If you are willing to help me I will send you a copy of my inventory so that you can see my CJF unit and pilot and gear cards.

Thanks!
