So I just bought my first box of heavy gear blitz today and am very excited about it but I don't really know how I'm supposed to build the guys. Not physically build them I can figure that out but I mean are there restrictions for what weapons I can give them or how many each gear can have? Is it like 40k where different weapon configurations cost more points? I got the Southern fire support squad by the way.

I don't play Heavy Gear Blitz myself, but I'd place money on 'buying the rulebook' being a good idea.

Yes there are restrictions on weapons and differing load outs to TV (threat value) points.

But getting the basic rule book would be all you need if you are doing the south.

You can delay the rulebook purchase a bit if you like by downloading Gear Garage. It'll tell you if a combination is legal, albeit not if it's any good.

Yeah I found that gear garage yesterday and used that to build my units. Pretty neat program

And don't forget Gear Up Mag, thats has some good info in it. I really like the unit creation sheets that they is doing.
