gday fellas
I've been asked to make a Starship Troopers style scn for DA -> not sure why, but hey, sounds like fun
have a few questions regarding morale and unit types
Morale: how do I simulate the Bugs high morale (meaning they should never really break)? I thought about making the Bug warrior units Elite Coys that hopefully when the MI battalions attack 'em they'll either kill the MI units, or they'll be destroyed.
also what scale will work best? The scn is based on Klendathu from the movie/book (might have to put some skinnies in too I guess), so it should be a Div of MI vs a sh*tload of Bugs.
atm, my types are...
Buggies:
Warrior Bugs: Mech Infantry, wheeled (Coy sized units, small footprint)
Hoppers: attack Helos (very short range)
Tankers: armour platoons (high RCP, small footprint)
Plasma Bugs (AD, Arty)
worker bugs: loggies units
Spitters: AT guns, small footprint, range
Bomber Bugs: minefields/obstacles (not sure how elese to have them - their role is as suicide bombers)
Brain Bugs: IEW unit
Royal Warriors: Mech Infantry Tracked (coy Sized units, higher RCP)
Queen Bugs: HQ units.
Mobile Infantry:
Mobile Infantry PNs: foot infantry, coy sized medium RCP
MI Infantry PNs w/ nuke launchers: foot AT infantry
Dropships: air cav
Armoured MI: armoured coys, high RCP
Fleet bombardment: arty, uses observer as avatar
Psychics: IEW
MiST: SF
K9 units: MP/Cav
any suggestionws would be greatly appreciated
