Torg Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 OK - I picked up my awesome new USAriadna army box today from my pre-order. I got Van Zant on the preorder as well. That only gets me about ⅔ way on the 300pt list for the Ranger Force. I'm looking to order the Hardcase dude (with the tactical bow)… and trying to nail down some good options for adding to my purchase. Thinking engineers - or the emergency services(doc). But there are other things I am missing I am sure. I am assuming that Corvus Belli will be releasing more cool stuff in a month or 2 for the list (as there are some things without mini's in the book that come in the box). .. Anyhow, this is what I have so far… including the intended purchase of the Hardcase. I have also included the dismounted (special fig) as a grunt (forward observer). USAriadna Ranger Force ────────────────────────────────────────────────── Group 1 7 1 2 VAN ZANT (Executive Order) AP Rifle / Heavy Pistol, AP CCW. (39) GRUNT Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (10) GRUNT Lieutenant Rifle, Light Grenade Launcher / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 14) GRUNT Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (10) DEVIL DOG Heavy Shotgun, Smoke Grenades + 1 K-9 Antipode / AP CCW.

indytims Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I am in the exact same boat. The first thing that came to my mind was pumping up the SWC somehow. And I've been told 'specialists, specialists, specialists' over and over again. Definitely a doc for sure. I saw on another forum that they showed images of a new/coming soon fig for USARF, US 6th Airborne: Not sure when we'll see it, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NakedPanda Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The traktor mules are rad too, though swc hogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 the sculpts in the new box…are… AWESOME as well - best detail I have seen in a mini - hands down OK - I was looking at the mules… and a doc. In relation to my list - anything I should be thinking? I have only played a couple DEMO games… so I am a noob on this. -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 lol - after revisiting Army5… and adding gin the doc and the mules… and the hard case - I am still short on points LOL… about 20-25 or so points short. maybe I can just fill it out with more grunts till some juicer stuff is released. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedPanda Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 van zandt comes in to his own with other drop troops, so maybe chuck some more AD troops in and start learning strike timing and small non link squad tactics? Or just FO and lob arty all over them hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedPanda Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Really I would strongly suggest playing, and expanding on what aspects you want to learn to accomplish better. Composition is far less important than experience and on table tactical flexibility/adaptability. I reference again the Interplanetary ITS in spain, so many of the lists look so generic, but the player refined and knew their methods to a T. top three had had their lists demeaned as being mathematically subpar or imperfect. They won hahaha musta rolled all them crits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 thanks for the insight… I am just trying to start with a full (300pt) list… using what I got in the box - and adding a few things to learn on. I want to keep it as basic as possible - and have enough toys to learn how best to play the faction from. Knowing full well that with experience I will learn what I want to take :) thanks again - I think those of you more experienced Infinity players are doing great with the pretty massive influx of noobs to this game. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The US Grunt SWC box is coming out soon. They maybe a nice box for you........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hey Don, I think the preorder came with the dismounted Maverick, right? If you haven't already used it as a proxy for something, they make great Grunt FO's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 yes - I have that one in the list above as the FO :) -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
