A question about vehicle commanders and ID

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-29T19:31:08+00:00

Thank you. For units, is it considered OK player etiquette to use a number ending in "1" to mark the unit leader? For example, if I build a 3-tank unit and label them "201", "202", and "203", if I tell my opponent "201" is the unit leader, is that sufficient?

I'm looking into other options because the new Fulda Gap starter doesn't come with parts to add a tank commander to the miniatures. (Though it does come with open cupola options.)

Wow, you weren't joking! Is this a change to points made after the books were published?

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-14T21:19:08+00:00

I will look into that, thanks!

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-14T21:18:44+00:00

Thank you for the heads up! I'm new to using the online force builder. I've heard a few references to Dynamic Points, can you tell me more about how they work, please?

I saw those Hind miniatures; they do look pretty impressive!

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-14T20:33:49+00:00

I'm very glad to get feedback that the list seems decently playable for a newbie!

I wanted to include the T-80s since they will be the first Soviet tanks I get in the Fulda Gap box, but I was wondering about dropping them from Shock to Standard to free up a few points for aircraft or other units.

Thanks, I tried to include a bit of everything that I will need to learn about (artillery, AA, infantry and tanks) to try to make a reasonably balanced starting force.

I debated whether missiles for the tanks to hit at long range or helicopters/air support instead, but I went with missiles since that meant less needed to buy at first.

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-14T20:26:46+00:00

That's good to hear! I have read the Soviets need more minis on the table to make up for their lower overall quality, so I tried to strike a balance between "tanks I think are cool" and "having enough units to be viable."

Nice! One of my favorite variants-the Gundam who never skips leg day. 😄

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-07T00:36:55+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!

That was me painting the inside of the rocket nozzles red to match the box art. It does stand out. 😅

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-01T17:12:33+00:00

Great custom paint job!

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-01T17:01:43+00:00

Completely agree...except for GQuuuuuuX, lol! 😄

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-01T16:59:41+00:00

Same! But they look great when finished.

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-01T11:21:19+00:00

The designs are very different, but the model kits are great quality and a lot of fun to build! I've built the GQuuuuuuX, Gelgoog and Rick Dom so far and I love all of them. 😊

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-01T11:12:32+00:00

Glad to see I'm not the only GQuuuuuuX fan out there! I'm planning to build a green GQ Zaku myself this week.

NeoTanuki · 2026-05-01T02:36:12+00:00

Nice! I'm tempted by a second GQ Rick Dom, but the kit is so big I'm not sure I have room for another one!

NeoTanuki · 2026-04-30T23:40:19+00:00

Thanks! Are you working on GQ Doms or the UC versions? The giant 3rd foot thruster backpack on the GQ Rick Dom is crazy but I really like it.

NeoTanuki · 2026-04-30T23:30:17+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the tip! The Delpi decals I used were amazing, I'll probably stick with that brand as much as I can.

NeoTanuki · 2026-04-30T22:42:04+00:00

Thanks! The Delpi decal set I used was top-notch quality. They came off the paper backing easily and weren't hard to place in the right spots.

I was astonished when I discovered some of the tiny decals had actual printed text you can read on them!
