Topic: New to harlies, need clarification

Exactly.  But the whole point IMHO is to be able to kill a Rhino or whatever and its occupants with a cheap, small squad.  Then again, considering the cost of Harlequin Jetbikes, it will probably be more expensive than 6 Saim-hann...

Its still effective with six but less so.

6 Saim Hann jetbikes is more than 3 Harlequin jetbikes (75 points more expensive) and the Harlies have access to better antitank weaponry which makes the Harlie bikes a better buy. An idea may be to include a Harlequin jetbike squad in a Saim Hann army as an elite choice. The anti-transport capability would come in very useful, perhaps boosting the squad size to 4 would give it added survivability.

Actually its only 70 points more if you use the Fusion Gun...

Do you have the dimensions of a Rhino?  It might be possible to do it with four or give like this:

Carots are access points, Js jetbikes

That extra little inch or two caused by the Jetbikes on the back might be enough to reduce the cost!

No, it really is a 75 point difference but yeah adding the leader and fusion weapons makes it pretty equal.

Sorry, you posted just after I edited the post.  I edited it because it was useless and gave no new information.

I don't have the dimensions of a Rhino (6" by 3/4" is my guess) but it would work with 5 jetbikes. Remember that the bases of the jetbikes are very large and so 5 would definitely do it.

But since we are in a point saving mode today, can it be done with four?  I will ask my friend for the dimensions...

If you take one less jetbike, that means one more Jetbike where it can really turn the tide of the game in battle!
