Me and a mate were thinking of this comedy list for Battle Brothers (going to be play testing soon). Basically its 1500 single Force Off split as we like with all official rules available:

Commander: C&CN, MSSS, Neuroweb System Jammer 122

6 Fire Warriors 54
6 Fire Warriors 54

2x Firebase Support Cadres:
4 x 3 Broadsides: HYMP, EWO 210 x 4
Riptide: Ion Accelerator, FB, EWO 190
Riptide: Ion Accelerator, FB, EWO 190

ADL 50

We are weak against AV14 which is a concern and have no D weapons. But 12 tank hunting Broadsides should do the trick with 2 tank hunting Riptides that have PE (marines). Buffmander joins a Riptide for twin linked ignoring cover hilarity.

Scoring will be an issue but we're playing to table and troops start in reserve and just hide best they can. Nothing can assault us due to 96 twin linked over watch shots...

The other option is drop the Buffmander for an Ethereal with some drones going into some squads and a small pathfinder squad. We're concerned about the pathfinders being easy FB (as we're playing for secondary objectives primarily) that swap also enables a FW squad to be upgraded to Kroot with a hound.

What do you think?

I like this version as is. 6 Firewarriors are easier to hide than 10 Kroot + Hound. As you know I normally advocate Kroot but in this circumstance, you've got it built right. My only concern is...can you bring two of the same data slate?

I don't have any of them and am overseas not playing for 6 months so I'm a bit out of my element on the new stuff.

No restrictions on the Dataslates. Nothing says I can't take multiples of the same sheet that I can see.

I agree The Shrike on this being the better option my partner thinks the other option has legs in it too. One being the ability toget lline breaker but I think our Riptides will get that most games as we roll people over. The firepower is insane for this points value.

We on average from just the Broadsides strip 38 AV11 hull points a turn!!! Its just stupid good. Against Serpent spam its 20HPs before jinks (against Serpent Spam buffmander probably chills with a Broadside unit early game) with 4+ jink that's still 12.5 HPs striped or 4 dead Serpents (allowing for 1 unit with Buffmander) granted in real terms its probably only 3 dead Serpents but that should be pretty much game turn 1.

Yeah, that slate is out of control especially in multiples.

I am very interested to see how MVBrandt rules on these dataslates. The rest of the East Coast events will likely follow him. It's not like you couldn't take exactly what you're already taking, it's just the lack of an HQ tax added to the free tank hunter.....yeah. It's actually a big difference haha.

Anyway, bravo on the list hammer. Throw me a PM about how the event goes.

Will do
