Is there a perfect size????
« on: December 18, 2003, 12:17:18 AM »
I was wondering, is there a perfect size for a Troop unit?  Some say that you need 10, can you have more than 10?  What about 8?  If you have smaller units then you can have more special weapons, but I know that there is the fact that they can get shot to bits easier......

Tell me what you think.

6 is the perfect size, as you can then mount them on a venom.
If you are without venom you should do 10, and footslog them. Then you need to drop the pistols though. FoF is better.
And no, you can't have more than 10.

Even if they are on foot I still say six or seven, just so it's easier to hide them behind hills and what-not

  I would say that 6 is great, as even with the footslogging squads, they can be taken away with a Venom if need be.
  Having said that, 10 in my opinion is the only other real choice, and should be used for squads with a Shadowseer, and Mime squads.

I agree with rasmus. 6 is the perfect size squad. and like dark flame said even if their footsloggers you can still take them away with a venom if need be.

I always use squads of six with the exception of my 5 man mim squad... (everything else I would normally say here has already been said ;D)
Let's dispense with the pleasantries, you twisted space crustacean. What is it you want from me?
