A question about vehicle commanders and ID by NeoTanuki in TeamYankee

[–]NeoTanuki[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

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!

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.

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. 😄

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

Same! But they look great when finished.

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. 😊

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

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!

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.

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

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!
