According to the rules, Cai...A couple of thoughts:<br /><br />According to the rules, Caine's warjack points must be spent, and the only way they can be spent is on jacks in his battlegroup. The only way Jr can assign focus to a jack is if it's in HIS battlegroup. Since you only have two jacks, and you want the Defender on Jr, as per your strategy, the IC has to be on Caine. That means Arlan won't be jackmarshalling anything. That isn't a problem per se ... he doesn't need to jackmarshal to give a jack one focus or evasive, or repair it. That said, I don't think you're going to get alot out of Arlan in his list. As always, YMMV<br /><br />Second thought, Rangers are a great unit on their own. The 5" range buff works for other members of the unit, meaning they're RAT 8 against close targets. Their speedy, hard to hit, and accurate. I use them in my Kraye tier list all the time, and they've suprised a lot of people in how hard they are to kill, and the amount of stuff they've been able to clear out. I'm pointing that out because dropping Arlan, GMCA, and Reinholt gives you 5 points for the unit. Since they're relatively high def, they also make for a decent tarpit. A MAT 6 is going to hit them less than 50% of the time. Not that many units are over MAT 6. You don't need to take them just for the buff to Caine.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528494253353045534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-84108694452927616612010-04-12T22:23:32.104-07:002010-04-12T22:23:32.104-07:00You always want a plan before going into battle.
...You always want a plan before going into battle.<br /><br />Or, rather, you want a billion little plans that you can access at will depending on the current situation. Hooray for mental compartmentalization!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116982097496182300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-19852177424948849132010-04-12T15:29:54.108-07:002010-04-12T15:29:54.108-07:00Normally, I'd like to know my own strategy bef...Normally, I'd like to know my own strategy before I play the game. But that's just me :D Once I get a chance, I'll play a game and let you guys know how it goes. It's been pretty hectic at work lately.HEROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578445512892020612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-82143773260299000672010-04-12T15:14:24.858-07:002010-04-12T15:14:24.858-07:00Shouldn't you actually play a match before act...Shouldn't you actually play a match before actually posting a strategy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-49613103637932415732010-04-11T23:17:25.019-07:002010-04-11T23:17:25.019-07:00Balance?

:P
In...Balance? In Warmachine? This is madness!<br /><br />:P<br /><br />In all seriousness, though, most games of Warmachine that I've played have been won by getting off dumbass combo X before the other guy gets off dumbass combo Y. Maybe I just haven't played enough Mk2. *shrugs*<br /><br />Don't have much advice on the list besides that, but good luck. I'm definitely interested to know how the list works out for you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116982097496182300noreply@blogger.com
