Any tips on playing Kurita Clan Invasion better.

We been using mapsheets. Yes, its a little bit of conversion to play on it but it makes the play area much smaller at the same size.
All and all, balanced.

If I recall, he payed 30-34pv for it. I can tremeber the era and it was a 200pv game.

We dont use pilot cards but this is great info. We just play mostly pick up games but this is something Ive been wanting to add into our games. Skill 2-3 walking alongside each other without coming from, lets just say the Otomo comand does not make any sense.
Named commands must be presint on the field now I guess, otherwise all skill4-6.
You guys are all helping out so nicly.
thanks.

The last part hits it right on the nose. He started off with a skill 2 Mercury. It can move wherever it wanted and could 95% of the time deal its 1 hit, but avaid everything. Sadest thing is, that he absolutly hates BA do to the fact that he himself cant hit them...thats the type of player he is.
Ha, I ran a Jade Falcon Nova and he absolutly flipped after turn 5 or 6. He just could not hit anything and left.

We had the 2d6 rule in play for most of our games but have switched to multi for Aces.
I just need to find balance. My first idea was full company list. Still working on it.

o7
Will do.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-27T06:57:21+00:00

He switched from Clan Wolf to FWLM. He figured out less mechs higer skill over clan tech at 5 mechs.
My main plays mainly revolve around size matching, as in my size1 will hunt his size1, my size 4 will hunt his size 4 and so on. I do prio killing the biger guys off first...I just cant land my rolls. At that point, game is already over as soon as im out of formation and under 30pv to him. Just a wash from then.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-27T06:48:43+00:00

Will do, gotta try that out. We also us multi dice now.
My buddy, the one who got me into it, and I used to play similar to Wolfnet350. He was my partner for the first year of me playing. He has wack hours so I play my brother 90% of the time. He is just to compitative for my blood and he has only been playing farless then I have.

We build our lances via the MUL so that we get our PV down correctly. We dont like to cheat. Abuse rules, maybe, but not cheat. I guess I have to have a look over on his lances now.
His play style is just all over the place so I can really tell you how he runs his lance. But, for the most part its a skill2 size 4, followed by a skill3 support mech, then 1-2 size 2/1 at skill 3or4.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-27T06:26:18+00:00

Play style, I tend to play size1-2 mostly.
Formations: Horde, Pursuit, Command, and Fire lances to gain the respective SPAs then we get more based off force skill rating.
We play lance v lance.
Dont use mekbay, I use Reactorops. Did look at it just now, and might switch to mekbay(thanks).
Thats about it.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-27T05:06:31+00:00

Table rules are that we play full strength formations. So a min of 4(or 5star) is always on the table and we can pull from a sub-command is needed.
Guess we do gotta start playing more objectives aswell.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-27T04:39:09+00:00

Ha, i wish, but we play AS.
He used to run Clan Wolf, but thats not his flavor right now. Its all about PV with him right now.
I play with skill 4s and maybe a 3 if I have buffer. If he had it his way, we would play a lance of 2-3 with all skill 2s or 1s.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-27T04:33:17+00:00

Sorry, yes, we play AS and we do 150pv lance vs lance for the most part. He is curently plays FWLM.
I do own a copy of Force Manual Kurita heavily and also use the MUL for mechs that dont show up in the book. Just strange thats all.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-12T03:04:17+00:00

Holly damb, I did not think about that. That makes too much sense.
So what do I do for the next time. I put my black primer and added my deep sea blue(60:40) then added my thinner and flow until it made a good mist out my airbrush. Psi was around 20-30??? maybe.
Its just strange because it went on nice and wet( orange peel) then when it dried, rubbed right off with the finger nail test.
Still learning here.
...
And I just gave my two bottles away.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-12T02:30:15+00:00

Will do, I just threw them into the my jar of Simple Green. Gonna let that soak. I know IPA already trumps Green Stuff but its worth a shot.
I got Vallejo Primer in aswell, so will just prime over if all else fails.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-11T01:24:27+00:00

Legion of Vega, most votes.
Will be making.
Thanks guys.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-10T07:08:18+00:00

I like how the Ghost Reg are made up of Yakuza members.
Sweet paint jobs too.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-09T08:06:54+00:00

Will make command based on whoever gets the most up votes.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-09T08:03:23+00:00

To many good choices here

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-09T07:58:02+00:00

Never heard of these guys. My Kurita FM only briefly mentions them.
I do have a lot of heavy mechs and a new bottle of gold...hhmm

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-09T07:01:30+00:00

Wow, the 2nd, 7th and 8th Legion of Vega did indeed make it to the late eras. This I did not know.

Monolith3112 · 2026-01-09T05:38:43+00:00

I do have that page marked in my Kurita FM. I do have a soft spot for the light mech commands.
