HI,

I'm new to the game (Red Blok) and I have the following questions to ask:


1) Can a unit run and use the overwatch rule in the same activation?

2) Can a unit leave a close combat (during is activation)?

Thank you

Hello Leto 2 (great username by the by),

1) Page 58 & 59 of the rules. Yes, you may make a rush move prior to giving the unit an overwatch order.

2) Page 58 of the rules under "Combat movement". Yes, you may disengage from CC but the units movement is halved.

Thank you for the clarifications.

Until now, I only played the initiation set missions but I am going to have my first 2000 pts gme very soon against the Therians.

I bought this to create my 2000 pts force:

2 boxes of Krasnye
2 attachment boxes of Krasnye
1 box of dragonov
1 attach. of dragonov
1x Urod
1x Vrachov
2x sierps

It gives:

Vrachov + 13 krasnyes including medic x2, rockets x 3
410 pts

12 Krasnyes including master sergeant, medic x1, mecano x1, rocket x3
315 pts

dragonov x 9, including master sergeant, sniper x3, medic x2 290 pts

Urod 570 pts

2 sierps including sergeant 415 pts

total 2000 pts
-----------------------------------------------------------

Yes leaving CC is one of the coolest things about At-43.

Your army isn't too shabby. More medics! They are cheese. lol

As a person who plays ALOT of redblok, I am somewhat confused by the list options you have.

1) Are those krasney actually RPG soldaty? if not, how are you getting all those rocket launchers for them? Thats very expensive (monetarily) to do without using RPG soldaty. Or are you just proxying the other weapons specialists to be RPGs?

2) drop the mechanic from the second soldaty unit. medic is better.

3) While medics are nice, the disruption from the dragonovs are even better. I highly recommend getting rid of the medics and replacing them with electronic warfare specialists. This squad is usually under cover and on overwatch orders. They should be at least. That means that any models that you do remove (if any) should be the models with the gauss rifles. You shouldn't lost many of the dragonovs if properly used, so I vote that you force the enemy to drop 2 more LP out of his LP pool instead.

4) make sure you utilize that disruption ability of the sierps as well. Its easy to forget about. This list rules the faces of most opponents and allows you alot of combat drill freedom with high LP pool when Urod is present.

Other than that I think it is a great 2000 AP of Redblok. The Sierps (sickles) are very powerful. So much so that I actually feel guilty whenever I field them. My opponents abhor that AFV. Especially since they also get disruption on top of the fact that they are kewlbeans awesomesauce to the max OMFZBBQSAUCE!!!11!
Looks pretty good for the stock platoon pattern. I field similar myself on occasion when I am not running hardcore frontline platoon patterns.
