Well, our games so far have consisted of people showing up and bringing 300
point armies. Because of this, the number of special guys has been low,
because it's difficult to reach the ratio for many special troops inside the
300 point limit!
Keeping that in mind, by far the most successful sub-army so far was Eric
Kingsley's in the last battle. His monster-huge 'Mech took up a good chunk of
his 300 points, but with two pilots (on pilot and one gunner) he was able to
fire at two targets per round with enough guns to ensure the destruction of
pretty much anything he wanted to wipe out. The big armour of he Mech made it
a tough target to take down, as well.
I personally wouldn't suggest this strategy. Over-specialisation breeds in
weakness.... the Mech is vulnerable to a few forms of attack. I'm not going to
go into them, but obviously I've been thinking about them for our next
unlimited tech level game. :D It doesn't matter too much, I don't think,
because Eric has talked about retiring the 'Mech... but just in case. :D
Anyway, my recommendation aside, it's what's worked the best so far.
