Yeah, I'm completely against repeated units. I love the uniqueness of each unit, and the one time I played with repeated units they suddenly felt a LOT less special.

I'd rather put it the other way: That might be a dull army, but it's effective as hell! I'd really like to try this army, but I don't think I'll ever buy all those Beobachters. But maybe I can afford two ...

However, thanks for presenting this army. What exactly did Manfred do, by the way? Did he join one of the Recon Grenadier squads?

Dear FFG, please don't stop the Tannhäuser line completely! Maybe just step down the release of new product to two (maybe one) characters per year just to keep players interested. Maybe release mercenary characters that would be useful for every faction thus every player. Maybe release a pack containing all the existing bonus tokens but no miniature. Anything, please!

 yes, manfred goes with a recon squad. use the recon to poke your enemy into position, the beo's to drop the arty strikes and snipers to soften targets for the recon squads and pick off survivors from the arty.

Last weekend I played this list (200pts limit):

1. Lara

2. Stefan

3. Kommandotrupp

4. Heavy laser Grenadiers

5. Sturmpioniere Grenadiers

6. Recon Grenadiers

7. Beobachter

8. Beobachter

9. Lothar

 

Lara with laser boys, Stefan with Grenadiers. Loads of fun.

If could stick snipers I would exchange Beobachter so I would avoid repeating units but i was literally short of few points.

Without a doubt! I like Lara + Heavy Laser Grenadiers too, and I'm really looking forward to playing Stefan + Sturmpioniere as soon as I get the Hero packs. I got note today that the packs are finally in the mail.

 Now that Dust day Olympia is over, i would like to post my list.

 

250 pts limit.

Allied, walker division.

Rosie

Pounder x2

Steelrain x2

Mickey x2

 

2 anti tank walkers

2 anti infantry walkers

2 'lil-o-both' walkers

i hero that while can really onlyfix one walker once, and can "Theroreticly" do 3 damage to a walker..and help finish one off..my Rosie is the worst shot in the game..and has never hit anything. But she fits my theam better then any other hero..other wise i would take fox trots and snipers for her points.

 

In the latest tourny, i went 3 for 3 wins..but only scored 530 AV points and never held an objective. So..good bad or ugly..i liked it..

+3

You know, there is a reason why real world armies use "dull armies" that "spam" a lot of the exact same units over and over again...

Heck, the greatest game for that kind of "every unit must be unique" mindset is 40K and even though they try their best to keep it up in the fluff with "antique" and "limited" technological items, after 10,000 years, with the loss rates in the fluff, everybody is wearing new gear.
