Nice gambit, but it wouldn't have worked if he took more crouchers.

>>14399638
I'm surprised he didn't because it looked like he was gonna turtle while flanking with reinforcements.

>>14399398
I hope you space them out more in the game. One crouching bazookaman shot and that radio party is over.

>>14399638
This OP.
Artillery strikes mean nothing to people who can be given Always In A Foxhole for as little as 12 extra points per squad.

>>14399663
S'okay, OP probably takes enough crawlers to deal with them.

Though that might leave him low on Machinegunners...

>>14399717
not OP, but I fucking LOVE machine gunners. Honestly, the speed reduction is totally worth being able to suppress 3 squads of riflemen at once. Plus, they have enough range to take on crouchers.

How do I deal with small blue groups in a jungle map?

>>14399758
See OP pic.
Instead of artillery (Raining Thunder), get napalm (That Burning Smell). It's kind of expensive at 250 per radio man, but napalm has a chance to outright destroy forest cover, as well as kill anything it in.

>>14399859
they're ok in close urban combat as well, but they suck ass on open maps, keep them in cover, try to work your way towards the enemy. Basically, play them like you would crawlers, except assault instead of shoot. Bonus, it ties up their shooting as well, especially when you can position a combat to block their line of sight,

>>14399818
Hi, you must be new here. Welcome to /tg/

Anyway, can you guys believe they just jacked up the price on red? It's like they want people to play only the mary-sue blues.

So I just got some green tanks, any suggestions on what to run them with? They aren't working well with my mine detectors

>>14399859
No. They're only good on hard to difficult terrain. However, if you use Air Strikes via radio men, you can change the terrain in a small area, and dominate with your Overheads there.

However, if you start with overheads and radio men from the start, your opponent most likely know whats going on.

>>14399881
Thanks for delivering... You a cool guy.

>>14399881

I have some off-green men that are all Vietnam Rambo style dudes. Would /tg/ mind if I used them for a Counts-As red army, or is that dickish?

Is space men just army men in space?

I typically field the guy holding the walky talky.

How is this not the most talked about game ever?

=P

You guys are complaining?

At least your armies still supported.

I invested $345 into my mercenaries army.

Why don't they have any 'minis' available in the store?

Astronaut troops here. Can't hear you over the sound of our orbital bombardment.

I'm thinking about expanding my army, do you think these alternate production figs will do the trick?

http://www.amazon.com/150pc-Army-Soldiers-Jeeps-Missiles/dp/B00262WEF4/ref=pd_sim_t_5

>>14399986
just wait, i hear they're planning a big 'BLACKWATER' release. They're gonna reintroduce the mercenaries with rules more suitable for either your good old swarms of muscle approavh, or you can supposedly have an army that consists of like, 15 tricked out mercs, taking on all comers.

There is a downside. Guess who's writing it. Yeah. Him. Get ready for 'All mercenaries see green leader as their spiritual liege'

>>14400026
OH GOD WHY. THE GREENS ARE SUPPOSED TO HATE THE MERCS.

anyone have a download linky for this?

>>14400087
oh they hate each other, but they still worship his tactical genius.

Fucking hell, they never should have updated. 2.5 was the best edition, this 3.0 shit is so op. I remember when standing shooters were the bread and butter of every army, and now you NEVER see them. they need a big time buff.

>>14400116
man, forget the standers, I want my grenadiers back. Damn it, the ignore cover rules from 2.5 were SO FUCKING AWESOME. I WANT MY GRENADE TOSSERS BACK

I just picked up my new edition Saurus codex and a starter box.

Pic related. And yeah, I know... THIN YOUR PAINTS.

>>14399896
>jacked up the price on red
Man that price must be crazy, no wonder I've never seen a red army in play.

>>14400171
you son of a bitch, I remember when the saurs were BALANCED. Now it's just t-rex spams, because they can tear up tanks AND INFANTRY

>>14400026
I fucking hate Brett Nord

>>14400116
>>14400155
ITT: oldfags who want to play a broken game. You know why everyone spammed grenadiers and standing shooters? because they were so broken for their points cost, that anything else just died. The 'dodge and shoot' rule the standing shooters had was so broken, it isn't even funny. I remember watching a game (i only started playing a couple months ago, I play grey) back in 2.5 that was just 2 armies of standing shooters all dodging one anothers shots. who wants to play that?

3.0 master race here.

>>14400246
someone's mad that their crouchers keep dying to moi's grenades

>>14400246
oh wow, someone loves using those grey submachine gunners, cheesey as fuck!

>>14400189

I still consider it balanced, considering T-rexs are the only ones with any decent movement or CC stats. Triceratops and Anklasaurs are decent at close combat but are slow and more for defense and tank busting.

Though I will conceed that Pteradons are totally fucking broken. Glass fucking cannons, man.

>>14400246

Jesus christ your stupid. Even back in 2.5 MG Gunners could just hold down Riflemen and Grenaiders, since both have shit range, and the prone fuckers could pick off what MG didn't kill.

Also, Brown up in this motherfucker.

>>14400012
shit man i had those same things... did they come in this clear box with a red top

they have like space/ wildwest/ army all kinds of shit

>>14400297

I can't believe you guys are still paying through the nose for your own army men when you can just copy them with oyumaru for, like, no loss of quality.

...inb4 you're the cancer that's killing Army Men

>>14400367

>>14400367
yeah, whats with the price increase? i remember when you could buy a bag of guys for a dollar, and the big starter sets (with terrain and objectives and stuff) were only 5 bucks and change. Stupid business decision, but they claimed they were in danger of going under. fucking greedy fags in Surrey.

>>14399918
>Thinks we're "playing along" with something instead of just discussing a some-what obscure game

>>>/rs/combat+storm&from=ALL

>fghtst upadhyay

Man, standing riflemen... I mean, why take them instead of crouchers? They both have guns but it's harder to draw line of sight to the crouchers.

Are there rules for more than just two armies?

Guys I just got the new Tan starter set,
Problems: No radio man, what the fuck do I do for my elites?
This fucker with the bagpipes, how do I use him in my army? does he give a morale boost or something?

>>14400544

You could probably write rules for whatever color team you find.

Blue could be the UK; Black for Germany; Red for Russia; White for NATO forces and etc...

>>14400000

>>14400607
Tan player, 20 years running. The bagpipe guy essentially replaces the radio man. instead of the normal bonus though it is, like you thought, for morale.

>>14400648
>quints
>mfw

>>14400538
because nostalgiafags remember when riflemen had a shitton of perks last edition, like Run 'n Gun, Sprint, Snap Shot. Cheapest fuckin' units in the game, and you could sprint them up to MGs and mow through them. Course, that got balanced out by the developers. Fuckers.

Will this be archived or am I going to have to screenshot the whole thing?

>>14400607
classy models, dude. Wish I could get my greys some bayonets. Still, we got dat SMG trooper

>>14400607
Is that your whole force? Cause tan won't get shit done without enough units to mob the opponent and take rel advantage of the bagpipes. An army that small could only take on blue, maybe, and only then if you're facing a moron

Hey non-green players? How does it feel you will never have a song written about how great your army is.

Red/Black ninja army reporting in. Sporting the White ninja leader, sorry about the flash, my phone wouldn't allow me to turn it off because of the "dark setting".

they're the squats of army men

>>14400902
I ordered a few more crawlers, and now that I learned what bagpipes do I'll get more of those. Should I get more crouchers, and I know they're expensive but I was considering plastic parachuters.

>>14400936
I wouldn't waste the investment, chuters are only good when you're opponent has no snipers or anything, which every fucking army has now, since HERP DERP 3rd edition

>There is a downside. Guess who's writing it. Yeah. Him. Get ready for 'All mercenaries see green leader as their spiritual liege'
I cannot describe how much I HATE Mark Totem. Seriously, screw that guy eighteen degrees sideways with a pre-Totemian M60.

>>14400966

Yeah, but chuters can deep strike. That's got to count for something, ESPECIALLY on maps like Normandy.

>>14400931

Barnyard was such cheesy specialist shit.

>>14400922
>>14400922
typical, bringing knives to a heavy machinegun fight.

>Captcha: Aelem Acid
fuck that, captcha, acid ain't gonna help against a BAZOOKA

>>14400995
it was a reference to Orwell's animal farm IIRC. it was like Unhinged from magic the gathering basically a joke list that tournyfags abused

>>14400995
Seriously, none of the units had ANY redeeming qualities. The only slight benefit was the price/ sheer quantity

>>14400995
I hear that, every FUCKING time I saw my friend field dogs, all I could do is watch as they abused that fucking dodge rule to get close enough to melee the shit out of my snipers

>>14400992
So you can decide between chuting onto the killing field in front of the defenses, or nearly alone behind heavy enemy lines full of activity? Decisions, decisions!
Good idea, poor execution. And quit calling it Deep Striking. It's Insertion, dangit.

>>14400607
That's a hero unit dumbass.

Jack Churchill. Search it up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill

That particular unit uses a bow, claymore (sword) and bagpipes.

Also, all units within a 30cm radius get an instant +2 to all their rolls if he is playing the bagpipes.

Guys, I just checked the Green dex, and...

Well, this page wasn't there before, but...

>mfw mfw was in the Green dex as a legendary platoon leader option

>>14401042
Almost. Churchill is a hero unit, and he does use bagpipes, but anons pic sowed an ordinary bagpiper, you gotta buy churchill separate from the rest

>>14401046
Look at this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT8ZG8Hg4Os

Totemian fluff at its finest. Greens do things they should not be allowed to do.

Mark Totem needs to die.

>>14401015

I was running a Black army in a tourney against a 4ftGUD fag. All I heard was COMMUNISM HURR DURR throughout the entire game. He ragequit after I toppled his precious bulls.

>>14401042
Did you know, due to a loophole, the effects of bagpipes can stack?

Check out Lord Lovat's stats, and his piper.

i love you guys

>>14401072
hell, just proxy him in if you've got the points. I just wish I could get a couple more dual-wielding pistol/rifle sergeants. Those guys are fucking broken-awesome

>>14401077
I had that same fucking scenario in a recent game. I was greyin it up, whooping my buddy's green ass with my BAMF tanks, when a 90% wounded rifleman, with nothing but a pistol left exploits a Totemian loophole, and takes down my primary tank singlehandedly. Almost cost me the game

>>14401040

Anybody who use chutists as a serious unit is fucking retarded. Their only asset IS their Insertion ability. It's an instant action and does nothing more than provide your other units an opportunity to gain closure on an enemy battalion by providing a distraction. At least, that's what I use them for.

>>14401081
Just searched it up. God dam that's nifty.

Lord Lovat is a glorious unit, however I find him a bit too much like a Commissar-like unit.

Does come in handy though. One time I was up against a T-Rex Saur unit and with Lord Lovat and Jack Churchill in my HQ/Elite squad, my infantry squads couldn't fail their courage rolls and were able to take down the T-Rex easily due to Lovat's "Freedom! or Die Anyway" ability.

>>14401125
Agreed. They even suck at that, since they have that one turn of land time and anyone with decent snipers can pick them off before they hit the ground

>>14401125
Haha, it could be worse. Remember Company of Heroes? You reinforced your chutists one-by-one. Like a plane is going to fly over the battlefield to drop off just one regular GI Joe! That always got me about that game, anyway.

So guys, in my box of men, I have various tones of green, a good force of tan, one black ninja missing a forearm, and one blue sniper.

Just a prone blue sniper. I don't kjnow what to do with him. Any suggestions?

>>14401125
oh wow you are missing out. Try fielding some green airmen, you can deploy a mortar team ANYWHERE on the field if the insertion role doesn't get royally fucked. and for greens, they ignore dangerous terrain, so you can plant a mortar team right on top of a mountain. Lrn2strategize

On a side note, I'm slightly annoyed that the only two forces in Combat Storm is a Middle Eastern force and the U.S/

>>14401155

Like I said, they're expendable... like jeeps.

>>14401163
Get rid of the green: broken shit
Tan is god tier
one broken ninja is worthless shit.
Blue are mary sue faggots, and you only have one anyway, sell it or give it away

>>14401171
but...the problem with that is that you're putting a MORTAR TEAM

an ARTILLERY UNIT

SOMEWHERE on the table where they can easily fire at them. What's the point of deploying anywhere if you aren't going to hide behind your fellow army dudes? That's for snipers.

>>14401163
Plastic dye, or spraypaint.

Or give him a ghillie suit so thick you can't tell what colour or where he is.

Your puny bazooka men are no match for the fast attack scalping you'll get from my Indians.

>>14401183
>sell it
For what? A nickle?

>>14401171

>he plays green

What are you? 12?

>>14401186
because the mortar can take out enough enemy guys to be worth dropping into a hard-to-reach spot. Plus, it means the other guy has to pull back dudes from the main fight to come hunt down the mortar that's dropping shells right on top of his tanks

>>14401192
Nobody fucking gives a shit abot C&I, it's terrible, broken, and boring with only two factions.
NO. The different tribes don't count as factions. Same shit with slightly different stats

>>14401192

>Indian Mercs

DAT CALVARY

>>14401201
yeah, you probably play greys because SO EDGY THEY HAVE STALHELMS LIKE THE GERMANS LOL

>>14401210
That's just a waste of resources. Mortars are awfully expensive to drop in and kill maybe five units...

>>14401233
Yeah, I guess. still, I get lucky rolls with my drop-mortars. Guess it's which units you want to keep around at the end of the game, which for me is definitely the front-liners

>>14401229
Say what you want, but there are few things as terrifying as a grey tank rush when you're barely ready for your first assault

>>14401229

I play Black; a real man's army. Buncha fucking SUPA SPECHUL leprechauns for kiddie players.

>>14401274
Oh fuck. My heart

>>14401266
watch in awe as your tanks die to my dedicated bazooka squads

Forget Green and Red, Blue is definitely the way to roll.

>>14401298
I wish they'd update blue to the new edition, we've been waiting for years. I WANT BLUE ARMOR.

>>14401289
No one sends out grey tanks without support and tons of crawlers, that'd just be begging for bazookas to rape them, but send a few crawler squads out alongside, and you've got yourself an unstoppable deathwall.

>>14401282

>mfw my special ops stealth units kill all your radiomen in first round

>>14401201

Dude, fuck you, green rocks! They got the best fucking flamethrowers in the goddamn game. I mean, yeah their bazooka guys aren't worth the fucking points but I love having those flamethrowers burn some tan crawling guy faggots.

>>14401289
No, he'll laugh as your bazooka squads don't move for the first several turns as they're set up to not have below average accuracy, waiting for a tank assault that won't come because he knows you have them behind your lines.

>>14401310
>>14401298
Fucking mary sue "perfect soldier" shit.

>>14401310
I hear ya bro, good thing blue still has the best long range assault capabilities.

>>14401298
>muskets
Ahahahahaha

>>14401335
That's right, blue is fucking perfect. Can't be taken down by anyone.

>>14401347

I never liked the bazooka, in any army. I always roll anti-tank gun. I mean, he's less mobile but he is more flexible against non-armor armies and does enough to tank out tanks if I get good rolls.

>>14401347
oh, you mean the cheesy-as-fuck 12 pounder cannon? That thing is just like, point at crawler-mob, watch mob vanish. canister shot ftw

>>14401077
for all the green haters remember pre-Totemian they were a parody of american values just like reds and tan were communists and fascists respectively. than once they wanted to broaden their target audience NONONONO greens are good guys! every one else is a smelly foreigner

>>14401369

Yeah, that thing makes up for the their weak-ass fucking muskets. I mean, they got to get so close just to fire the damn things and even then they miss all the shots.

>>14399973
You're a dick. Fucking Mornington Crescent.

You guys are all a bunch of faggots. White army is where it is at! You see that fucking armor?! FUCKEN SPACE ARMOR YOU FUCKERS.

All I need to do I hold out long enough for my radio men to call in an Atomic Strike! And oh wait, ALL OF MY MEN HAVE RADIOS!

>>14401369
Whoever wrote that thing into the blue dex needs to go shove it up their ass. Cheap as hell.

>>14401386
EVERY FUCKING MUSKET LINE. Honestly, they're better off with COLD STEEL than actually firing the muskets. But I do love their cannon.

>>14401403
too bad spacemen haven't got heavy support. Try using your space-pistol against my tank!

Motherfuckin rhinos up in this bitch. Can't stop the stampede

>>14401422
I know right? closest thing they've got is the dune buggy, which is barely better than a jeep.

Red

Heed My Call

>>14401369
>>14401408
Logically, shouldn't it work much much better against STANDING targets?

Seriously. It's treated like regular artillery. 12 pounders don't fire in an arc, they fire straight. They should not have no penalty against crawlers.

>Barnyard superunit

>>14401424
Not this shit, it was a fucking offshoot of Barnyard, which on its own was bad enough to get retconned...

I remember back before we found out there were actual rules for this game me and my friends would just set up our armies in my sandbox and use firecrackers to try and knock them over. We would build enormous walls and ramparts to prevent line of sight from being drawn on our guys while leaving them free to attack whoever they could see so if you wanted to kill anyone you would have to start destroying terrain. Shit got serious when we found some rubbing alcohol and decided to try out Napalm Strikes.

>ooc: Everything I said up there is true, me and my buddies would have enormous army men firecracker fights complete with walls, water filled moats, air strikes, and throwing firecrackers at each other when we started loosing.

>>14401440
Still, they do get the whole "insertion anywhere" rule, which is really nice if you keep a few dudes in reserve. Nothing like dropping a squad of spacemen right on top of a green sniper's perch

>>14401424

Rhinos, the tank unit that doesn't have the armor.

Pieces of shit if you ask me.

>>14401422
Four fucking words fuckface:

LOW ORBIT ION CANNON

Oh sure, all y'all fuckers got your EXPENSIVE tanks and mortars, but I call out an Orbital Strike? YA DEAD SON.

Plus white team gets a combat, control, AND movement bonus with all dinosaurs!

>>14401444
logically, they should do a lot of things. Then the developers remembered balance. and the muskets.

>>14401473
Yeh, but that doesn't quite make up for everything else. Each unit has decent armor, but all their weapons are shitty.

>>14401489

Dude, chill out.

Yeah Nauts got a bunch of cute little toys, but they got shit for numbers. Once I fielded nothing but snipers and took out a Naut army first turn.

>>14401468
>other when we started loosing.
>loosing.
>not losing

Have they updated the codex for Pink yet? I haven't fielded these guys in forever.

Don't mind me guys, I'm too busy being FABULOUS~

>>14401489
Have you read a codex since Totem got a hold of the whites? the orbital cannon barely does shit. It's occasionally useful to take out artillery behind the front lines, but that's about it.

>mfw Mark Totem

This thread just made a neckbeard happy.

>>14401542
oh my god, everyone join the totembandwagon. Honestly, that guy made the game BALANCED.

>>14401532
dude, they were a little bonus for the civil war expansion back in 1st edition, I doubt they'll ever be updated. Probably worth a small fortune, though

20 Year Veteran here. most of these bad boys used to belong to my father when he played this as a kid back in the way early beta edition of this game. some of these units are WWII and Civil War themed. i play his green WWII and Light Blue CW men with pride!

>>14401521
I have to concede that, between their low movement rate, and limited visual range, they're easy targets. Not to mention how horrible they are for direct offensive assaults...

I once lost SEVEN Nauts to 2 pistoleers and a rifleman in a single charge. I raged.

>>14401567
In terms of the whites? yes. They needed a serious nerfing.

I have heard CONSTANT bitching about the goddamn airfix. Sorry if you can't field an entire army of helicopters and jets, but they haven't got antiair gun models yet.

>>14401676
No need for airships in faux WWII.
White astronauts are kinda fun though.

>>14401676
Those are supposed to be coming out at the same time as the new tan dex this summer

>>14401687
oh, the tan codex they promised us last summer? when they gave us MORE greens? They aren't gonna make new models because goddamn casuals keep going green

>>14400171
Anyone know if you can run Prehistorics under the current Saurus codex? I used these guys back in beta but they haven't updated the codex for it. Man these guys would just own the field.

>>14401684
See that? That's what Totem did to greens. They used to be so respectable. Now? Cheap retards

>>14401702
>he uses mammoths with his saurs
Why not just go join that guy with the rhino?

>>14401727
Cause rhinos are shit compared to the mammoth, do rhinos do double armor piercing damage when they rush enemy units? I think not.

>>14401684

Goddamn, officer equipped with binoculars and grease gun if so fucking OP. I mean, he grants hit bonuses AND has a fucking submachine gun. I rage so hard when some green fag paradrops a squad of standing riflemen and one of those officers behind my lines.

>>14401707
Hey, something had to be done to counter for the Tan 'Zerg' Rush or their 'Desert Storm'. Besides, it's not like Green Army officers can even fight; they can't even take on an Orange pistoleer.

I love you, /tg/. Never change.

>>14401701
well what do you expect when green are in every starter pack since the game was made!

>>14401755

Are those riflemen with Over the Head?

Who fields that garbage?

>>14401774
Allows for someone to use riflemen, but instead of to hit bonuses, you can ignore rougher terrains. See >>14399901
for example

>>14401744
Neither have armor worth talking about anyway. One in twelve chance of failing a penetration roll with an AT-gun? Hah.

You are the tan cancer that is killing our green game.

>>14401785

I don't know, I always preferred the hit bonus. Then again it is always hilarious to see my opponent's face as I just wade through a river that he can't even enter.

This is the best thread I've seen in months, and it can only get better...but I think you guys need to lay off Mark Totem, without him the power creep from blue would have made the game unplayable.

Well, the tans would say that, not the greens, but you get the point.

>>14401835

So long as he doesn't touch my goddamn light blue cowboys, I am fine.

I mean, we need an update and bad but I don't want HIM.

BTW guys, what do you transport your armies in?

>>14401830
The best part is if you go with Over the Head, as well as Water Wings, you can use Dangerous Terrain(Water) as full cover and entrenched positions, without having to take penalties for it. It takes a direct shot from artillery to dig the bastards out.

No one plays with me in rain forest scenarios anymore.

Everyone and their mortars and crawlers and crap. It's these guys that rule the field.

>>14401896
That's what I love about Tan Special Forces units.
Sure, they're expensive, but they all come with There's Mud In My Blood.
It's worth paying the extra points to get extra cover and rerolls whenever that squad is in any terrain more difficult than normal.

This hobby is waay to exspensive guys, does anyone know a way to make molds and shit I really want to go with a blue army.

I had a bunch of the green parachutists, they were awesome. Too bad the rubber band started to corrode after two uses. You know how hard it is to find those damn things?

>>14401958

>I really want to go with a blue army.
Get the fuck out

>>14401964

That's what pisses me off about Tan, they can go Elite or Swarm, it's so bullshit.

>>14401908
It was probably before your time if you're new. The BPC was an uber hax for the Blue Army that exploited a certain...well it's actually kind of technical, but suffice to say that picture was the result and perfectly legal at Tournament. They called it the Blue Power Creep, it was basically a hideous invulnerable monster that could only move 10 feet a turn and I don't think anyone has ever killed one.

CBT however was just an allusion to Cock and Ball Torture, because if you saw a BPC, you were fucked.

>>14401874
Old greys make me nostalgic, but new Greys have the paratrooper and urban combat bonus and sooooo....

>>14402086

What the fuck?

They took away the bayonets?

Did Mark Totem design the fucking models too?

>>14402059
I've heard of a BPC being taken down outside of a tournament.

Was a Tan Special Forces army, decked out for avoidance. Sure, it couldn't hit for shit, but it was damn near impossible to touch.

To make it worse for the Blues fag, it was a rain forest map, with deep rivers, plus in the middle of a monsoon.

Since Blues don't have any good artillery, with the BPC approached the river with the Spec. Forces squad, it literally could not move due to Firefight rules. It couldn't hit the broadside of a barn if it was in it, thanks to the conditions and the tan squads, but they were getting in enough shots to bring it down.

After that, the blue army player wouldn't say anything, but the tan player's squads just emerged from the river Mud Men style, and swept across the map cleaning house.

>mfw Blues can't beat Tan, Tan can't beat Green, and Green can't beat Blues
>mfw people still bitch about balance

Problem Tan?

>>14402059
LOL! Never at a Tourney, but my friends tried it once before we realized it would literally take hours (if not DAYS) for there to be a victory.

But I did see a Blue Power Creep fight a 'White' Power Creep after they used the Nauts 'Clone' technique on it. They rammed the thing with a Triceratops, got its DNA, then ran around the map on a dunebuggy for 90 WHOLE TURNS until the moderator said that their factories had had enough time.

Of course it was a stalemate after that, but the judge awarded the victory to the Naut team for creativity (Admittedly it wasn't exactly legal, but everyone fucking hated the Blue guy after using such a dick move so they let it slide).

>>14402043

At least Warmalego has SOME balance without being so goddamn expensive. It is also way easier to customize your models.

>>14401046
Fuck that, have they included SARGE yet?

I don't mind you, you get shot just as well as any other army.
>>14402297
>light tanks
>'armor'
Yeah I guess technically sorta. But go say that to a gray tank, see what happens.

>>14402297

Those have so little armor, they might as well not be tanks.

>>14402288
Yeah, but they can only be used in their own units. You can't add any allied forces. Goddamn segregation rules.

>>14402297
I hate to admit it, but tan's armor and vehicle choices are, well, weak.

Sure, it's tougher than infantry, but Greens don't have to bother with anti-tank; a crawler squad specialized for sniping can disable it.

Maybe it's a little faster than infantry, but blues vehicles, while nothing more than paper weights, outrun mostly anything.

When playing tan, either go Horde Style, or go Black Ops style. Tan's strength lies in foot soldiers, one way or another.

>>14402344

That's why I run flamethrowers

>>14402297
>tan tank battalion
Are they hiding behind those unarmored cars or something?

>>14402306
Grey tanks are mediocre at best. I mean, they have an adequate mobility to firepower ratio, but their only real advantage is their fuel efficiency.

>>14402363

I loled

>>14402362
Come back when you fight with bullets, tiny green man.

>>14402372
Oh, and their ammo capacity I guess. They're reliable, but hardly anything special.

>>14402372
Grey Tanks are like the Nazi Tanks of this game. Overengineered and superior firepower. You're thinking of Green tanks.Balanced green tanks.

>>14402430
Superior firepower my ass! I'LL ADMIT, grey has a pretty decent tank, but IF YOU WANT FUCKING FIREPOWER YOU GET THE FUCKING NAUT WAR ELEPHANT!

TRIPPLE FUCKING CANNONS YOU FUCKHEAD! UNIT MOUNTING POINTS! ANTI-AIR, ANTI-LAND, ANTI-SEA! THIS THING CAN TAKE SEVEN TURNS OF DIRECT FIRE FROM ANY 3 ARTILLERY PIECES, BUT WILL TAKE ALL OF THEM OUT IN TWO TURNS!

Cry some more babies! Cry some more!

Howdy yall! I play dark gray CW troops!

My list so far is

Troops
4 Platoons of Veterans
Artillery
12 Napoleons
Cavalry
1 light squadron
HQ
Commander Hood

I know its small put the veterans really pack a punch and most blue armies are heavy on fodder and light on vets so they can chew up most of em. Anything they can't gets blown by my canons. For my drummers I took "Hold Formation" and "steady aim fire" along with that Stonewall gives them "Stand and fight!" so pretty much my veterans are unbreakable. The only way to beat em is to just fucking kill them all.

>Play Green vs Blue, first time vs Blue

Fine, Ill be the newfag that asks the possibly retarded question

Are there really rules for armies outside of Green and Tan?

I love you /tg/

>>14402747
yyyessss, that's why we're talking about grays and blues and reds.

>>14402901
Then again we are also talking about dinosaurs and barnyard animals

And one random fag was talking about low orbit ion cannons

>>14402747
Im the guy talking about the Gray troops of the CW. Yes its a real game. You can find the rules online. Just search for American Civil War tabletop rules.


If you mean the Gray, red, Blue, ect armies for Combat Storm then no. However the way of it is. Grays are defensive tank whores, blue is all sneaky, red are communist shitscum with loadsaguys, and the Black Army, what black army? Iv never heard of it, and neither have you!

It really depends, but after not getting much of any power creep their way, its gonna be a tough battle. But any good man, cave or army, should know that doing nothing, gains nothing, carry on cave bro.

Tan jeepspammer here. it took me awhile to get used to the new edition but now i dominate the local FLGS.

Sure, jeepspamming is kinda dickish as tan but what's a guy gotta do when you face green grenade wave and gray panzerrush?

Love the situational weapon mount rule for the jeeps.

>>14404765

Aren't jeeps effective only against infantry hordes? Laughable armour doesn't actually help against grenades and tanks.
That said, my obviously infantry-heavy Viking army had its humiliating losses against jeep armies.

>>14404802
yeah they have cardboard armor but they are fast, maneuverable and can mount a TOW launcher to knock out tanks or a heavy machinegun for taking out infantry and grenadiers before they come close enough to fuck shit up..

Put in a vote for 4chanarchive.

Newfag here with a question: Is it possible to modify these rules to work with 1/72nd scale soldiers?

Me and my friends want to play this, but all we got is the tiny soldiers, though we got plenty of deifferent groups. off the top of my head:
Civil war
WWII
Sengoku Age Japan
Boer/Zulu wars
Crusades
Viking invasions
Ancient greek/macedon/persian

Sniper rush.

Is it still viable?

I mean, it seems good against saurus, knight and vikings, considering the fact that snips are perfect for killing of small units, but what about all the other armies?

>>14405813
Put it this way.


When you go up against a horde, they don't give 2 shits about casualties.

When you go up against a small elite force, they care very much about losses.

So it's roughly Horde>Snipers>small elite force

Okay, could someone please stoop so low as to give at least some basic info to us noobs? Since most of the posts are not about Combat Forces, which only has two factions, what is the exact name of the game? "American Civil War tabletop rules" does not give me one single set of rules in google but a huge number of different rulesets. What is the one you are talking about? Who is this Totem person? What is the scale of these soliders (the big or the small ones?)

>>14405954
This thread has gradually shifted from talking about an actual game to randomness that sounds plausible.

As for Totam... they are making fun of what's-that-dick's-face who wrote the recent ultra smurfs codex.

Isnt thera a couple of army men systems out there?

>>14405971
But still, is Combat Storm the only sensible way to play with Army Men? Or was the one who mentioned American Civil War tabletop rules making sense? There seem to be a variety of rules out there.

On another note: Is Warmalego a similar transmogrification or are there actually people who have tried playing Warmahordes rules with lego figures? Although I am sure this would draw the wrath of many "serious" wargamers I would actually be up for that as I find lego to be very creative + nostalgic and the actual tactics of the game are not influenced at all.

>>14406013
/tg/ totally needs to make an actual homebrew game off this concept.

>>14406262
Thank you very much! I am always searching for the non-standard, low-budget, homebrew, garage-methlab type games. I sometimes work on ideas of my own, but I find playtesting to be tedious because my attention span is very short. I managed to convince a friend of mine to play my infamous Settlers of Catan / WoW-boardgame mashup, which seemed like it could actually be playable (though there still is loads to be done).

Apart from that I would love to play some skirmishy version of WHFB/40k, if possible with more RPG-elements, i.e. more specific items / character traits / XP, etc. Also, I once read rules on Dakka dakka for a cybot-centered skirmish game that sounded awesome, but I cannot find it anymore.

Awhile back I picked up a Viking force that came with a dragon and a black cage for it, plus a bunch of trees.

Is that worth anything?

>>14406903
Homebrew a special character called Toothless.
Go eat Tans.

>>14406401

The rules for Necromunda are, i believe, available for free on the internets. It was one of a number of side-games (now officially referred to as Specialist Games and sorely lacking in GW support) that had rules and models completely separate from the main WHF/WH40k lines. Necromunda takes place on a hive world and is basically skirmishes between the hive gangs.

My experience is more with Mordheim, the fantasy counterpart to Necromunda. Mordheim has XP and differentiates between Heroes (who can gain skills and be awesome) and Henchmen (who are cannon fodder, but sometimes get "Lad's got talent!" and become Heroes). Both are very small-scale and LOADS of fun.

Just don't go to the bathroom. Our group has an unspoken rule that everyone gangs up on the guy that goes to the bathroom.

>>14406013

You don't know about fucking Warmalego? It's the superior game to these fags with their green/white/red shit.

I mean, they got monochromatic armies, Warmalego figures have multiple colors AND are even more customizable.

can anyone tell me what the rules are on these guys? They're different colours but they seem to come in the same set? I'm confused, I haven't played in years.
