With a official set of rules now for review, does anything go from the "Trade Box" to the play box, or the other way around?

I am glad I kept most of my Merc units.

Also, I think I am glad I didn't pay $5-7@ for DF ATV's...

Just wondering what folks thought...

Well For 1 I think there may be a few tanks that can come out and play now.
1. Highlander Mars / No min. range and 3 targets. Just protect its rear and it should do fine.
2. Merc Mars / Min. range but w/a ton of Se's this should be fun to play also.
3. Most Kelswa's since there high defense helps them vs Assault Orders.
a Sleeper Helicopter I think will be the...
1. Merc Cavalry / cheap, good speed and now that IT works on Any ranged combat attack the M&S attack w/ IT may just be wort hthe 40 point price tag.
In fact I think we may see more Cav Vtols nowe that there is a Assault Mech AA Weapon Card. They are a cheaper point cost to use in a AA rich battle.

Someone mentioned the Liao Shockwave w/22DV might get more field time as Decoy counters AP now.

Liao shockwave and Cynthia kelly - 2x 22 def with decoy is a nice centrepoint for any army.

I would have no reservations about playing the SH Behemoth now. Drop it first then even if you get based you can shoot with an 8 IT attack.

Any mechs with 0-14 range and 2 targets, so that they can ignore the called shot modifier by targeting the unit basing them as well.
Makes the SS Sun Cobra even better (19" AO range too)

All mechs... Even this horrible H Lego gets its use now. It can blast infantry formations for 4 clicks with 114 points.

It loos like infantry got put in it's place, but I think Battle Armors should be a little better

Dyan Nova Cat and the BR Glory. 22 def w/decoy (the glory needs to be in hindering
The Highlander Koshi 21 w/decoy
Dyan+Scorchers=Tank Killers

Some of the units worth bringing out (as mentioned in previous posts) will be retired from tourny legal status.

The HL Blade may be worth a second look now.

>>looks<<

Nope. Still worthless. ;)

Shin Yoshida: 15 inch alphastrike for 8 clicks of damage(not to forget the 11AT)

I think we should keep this discussion on Tourney legal units as I do not think many of the unplayable mechs will not get better with the new rules, all mechs w/ an 8 attack I'm looking at you :devious:

As far as more units that could see a new life.
Glory F.S. Tanks
Merc LE Infantry
Zahns w/ ''Gasp :eek: '' used to transport vulnerable Infantry now
JF Stingers / Evade and a 11 attack with pulse hmm yahh good 100 points of AO action.
Kite Recce Tank / a more durable Base-n-Break Tm. and lets not forget their speed
Merc Gnomes a better CBA Battle Armor
Merc Purifier BA not a bad Infantry unit now

well until my next brain storm (or cramp) however you want to look at it :cheeky:
