After just recieveng a Metro HMG in the mail, I'm wondering where to go with my MRRF. Models are expensive, so I want to plan ahead this time. (as opposed to last time, where I saw the Mirage-5 strike team and went "DO WANT" before promptly throwing my money at the screen.) Below are a list of the models that I currently have:

MIrage-5 strike team
Zouave w/ DEP
Metro w/ Rifle x2
Metro with GL x1
Metro with HMG
Chasseur with ADHL
Paracommando with HMG
Molblot with Rifle

I've been getting by in tourneys thanks to a freindly local group which lets me borrow some models as needed, and I've been able to try some different tactics, but I need some advice on which to purchase next. Before we go any further, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE AD tactics, sometimes running both the Mirage-5 and the HMGmando together in larger games. I've "narrowed" down my options to:

Tracktor MUL + Dozer-- I've used this a few times to great success, however, there are too many "moving parts" to this strategy, and it's a big points sink, especially when I run Mirage-5 and/or the HMG mando. When I do this, I'm often short on orders, but big on firepower. It works, but it's cutting it a little close for me. This brings me to

Heavy Rocket Launcher Bristicard: This guy would serve basically the same role as the MUL for more points and less orders, throwing down B2 fire templates. I don't know if I'd be able to work this guy in, as the SWC is so high, but if I find a way, I'd have more orders to use with my drop troops. This is a very tempting option.

More paracommandos-- Would give some support to the HMGmando, and the high WIP, FO option is nice for when I'm using the MUL. Still order intensive, which can be a problem.

Loups-- The viral rifles are nice, and it's a solid, all-round choice to give my back line some more firepower.

Bristicards-- The alternative to loups. A team of four for long-range firepower. This has a LT option, while the loups don't. I really can't decide between loups or 'cards.

The vanillaAriadna starter pack-- Gives me another chasseur to work with, as well as opens up options to expand out into the other factions, but I'm not sure if I have enough MRRF to do this yet.


Thoughts?

I dont think you can go wrong with any selection ...maybe except for additional AD troops... I think the Mirage 5 and HMG para is enough.

If it were me, id go either Biscards or Loup...leaning towards Loup just because of looks.

A full team of 5 Briscards is pretty nifty...

I went ahead and got loups, I figured they were some comparable to one another than I couldn't go wrong with either, so I went with the ones that looked cooler.
