Where are the grunts?!!?

Post by CapnDarwin »

It mentions them in the rules, but they are nonwhere to be seen in the game or data? Are they coming in a later release?

I'm curious.

Form what I understand, they are modeled in the game. For instance, there is additional combat power for each mech inf unit when it is immobile to simulate deployable inf. weapons. For the upcoming patch, I believe Rob mentioned that there will be additonal bonuses for mech inf that is "holding" /dug-in, etc to simulate dismounted infantry.

In other threads Rob talks about how he simulates Infantry. A mech unit that is on a hold missions is considered to have deployed the infantry dismounts and pulled back the vehicles into covered postions to support them.

Neither side had any large quantity of leg Infantry in theater. Beside WG territorials I can't think of any that would be modeled in the set up to this fight.

I'd say something, but then I'd take a lot of crap again...

I think the situation speaks for itself...
