I am seriously wondering which would be more effective to deploy - MOBAT rank 2, or Beach Head rank 2. While the MOBAT has vastly superior armor and higher firepower, Beach Head gets a 5-second shield and his own squad of Steel Battalion. The MOBAT just gets swarmed by infantry against high-level bases, and unless you have Sparks in your deck, it's going to wind up getting junked repeatedly. I think Beach Head would have better synergy with the Tomahawk and Doc primarily due to his buff and the increase in sheer numbers on the field.
It's kind of a moot point either way once you have the Skystorm and Tomahawk, as ground units are for little more than cleanup once you get AA defense out of the way...

So wait are these an upgrade to the shrike units that deploy from your base or a new vehicle?
It's cool they are bringing more characters and such in, I know we still got Scrap Iron, Zarana also yet to be added. So wondering how the Shrikes fill in. Are we getting more vehicle unit options too? Hope so. Last edited by PanzerKrake; 02-25-2020 at 09:21 AM.. |

OK, so Beach Head is a rage machine. I can't believe how fast he is when he first deploys. He is WAY faster than Doc can keep up with him, so you pretty much just have to turn him loose and let him draw aggro while your other ground forces do their own thing. I had hoped that he would deploy with 4 Steel Battalion, but he only gets 2. I had also hoped that his shield would allow him to deploy on top of land mines and just shrug them off, but instead he's so blasted fast that he trips them and is already 20 yards downrange before they explode. It's just too funny to watch. I wish that the game would play "Yakety Sax" (think Benny Hill Show theme song) whenever he gets into the field. LOL.

Speaking of the upcoming Event on the 28th. Everyone and their mammy knows who Gung-Ho is, but who the hell is Shrike? Obscure character? New? Google didn't googleize the answer. Maybe my googlemabob is broken.
Hate to go all Seinfeld, but what is the deal? -EDIT- Ok, so I found a picture of Shrike and I don't know why they are calling it a troop when it's just another flying drone. That said, every event coin I scrounge up gets spent trying to get this thing, so it can be stationed on defense to fight the Skystorm and Eaglehawk if it can shoot at them. Even if it can't, there's no Joe besides bazooka that can target air vehicles, so it's got great value either way. Sorry Gung-Ho, but you're a Gung-No. Last edited by Joebrah; 02-25-2020 at 01:47 PM.. |
