Well, just like the title says, how many of each would be good for a City Strike theme or combat situation? I was thinking about 20 or maybe more of the AV's and about 10 of the ST's since their combat specialists. Your thoughts...

I used to try for 5 each of any trooper and 3 specialty troopers. I'd consider the Alley Vipers and the Shock Troopers to both be specialty positions so 3 is my limit.

I just picked up two more AVs today giving me a total of six. I'm not crazy about them and I'm trying to decide if I want to sell them or rework the aspects I don't like. (torso & legs)
Haven't actually seen a ST in person yet but they look awesome. I will be army building them for sure. |

The Shock Trooper will compliment the Vipers and Cobra troopers as the bullet stoppers of the Cobra army. I am using the POC Alley Vipers more as elite troops, much like they were depicted in Resolute.

I wonder who out ranks whom? Are the Alley Vipers in charge of the Shock Troopers, or other way around? I think the Shock Troopers look cooler, but I think the Alley Vipers are the guys in charge. Agree?

Oh! I have 7 Alley Vipers at present, and I'm planning for a total of 8 -10 Shock Troopers. I currently have 2 and 4 are on order.

I think they compliment each other well. Alley Vipers are really suited for infiltrating and holding exterior urban enviornments. They grappling hook to secure elevated locations, all that heavy armor to hold the line. The Shock Troopers are certainly the interior infiltration specialist with all their breaching equipment (which the AV lack). Their shield which clearly resembles a riot shield are more than likely similar to their real world counterparts in that they are mostly designed to be bullet resistant against low velocity handguns or the pellets from shotguns (at a resonable distance).
So, I think that the AlleyVipers would spearhead an urban assault and hold the exterior and the Shock troops would then begin their interior assault. As to the amount, well I think that would depend on the area. I have 10 Alley vipers (covering doors, elevated platforms and... alleys!) and I think having two teams (5per team)of shock troopers will do it for me. So my current urban assault team (minus the shock troops) consits of two blacked out Hum-vees, Bradley and a MH-6 Little Bird chopper. I'll probably add an addition Hummer once I get the Shock troopers. I'm also thinking of adding led's to the hum-vees but haven't decided as of yet, so many possiblilites!
