Made a Polish Mech BG. Pretty happy with how it came out.
Put together this Polish Mech BG and I wanted to share it with you all, and also go over my rationale for how I set up each tab.
LOG: There is a lot of ammo hungry units in this BG, so having a lot of supply was a must. For command units, I was originally going to go for BMPs, but figured it would be better to swap them out for the jeeps and park them next to my fire support units. Much less of a waste.
INF: It's a mechanized unit, so obviously lots of mech infantry. Four command squads should be good for capping and upping veterancy. Also tacked on some spec ops and TOW launchers.
ART: Decided to go all in on rocket arty. The BG offers it, so I figured why not? These are the units I'll park one of those jeeps next to to get that veterancy up. Otherwise, I thought it would just be cool to have, and I'm sure it'll be great for vaporizing infantry formations.
TNK: There aren't any really good tanks in this tab - they're all T-55s so they're all kind of shit, they're mainly there for fire support and screening the infantry. Tacked on some command tanks to help with veterancy and some TOW trucks to help with eliminating enemy armor. Funny thing is that I originally was going to take one of the T-55AMS Merida cards, but realized that the rockets that it has aren't tows - they're just HE rockets. Only two of them too. Thought that was kind of weak, so I switched that out for a card of T-55As. Figured having more tanks in this case was better than having a couple of specialized ones.
REC: Nothing amazing here, just brought along the vehicles with the exceptional sights, some helis, some regular scouts and the SF scouts. I think that's a pretty balanced recon tab.
AA: I admit that I went hard on this tab, probably TOO hard, but I really wanted to have some nice and layered air defenses. Those OSA-AKMs especially are just too cool to pass up.
HEL: Nothing amazing here, but having some AT Mi-24s is gonna be nice to have for picking off tanks. And since they have the rockets they'll be good for damaging infantry too.
AIR: This is the weakest tab by far. The two AT Su-22s and three AA Mig-23s will be nice to have as backups in certain situations, but it's definitely not very versatile.
I'm pretty happy with how the whole thing came out, but if I were to pick one thing to change, I'd probably drop the HIBNERYT or one of the OSA-AKMs in the AA tab and pick up some additional AIR. Beyond that, I think this is pretty usable. Tell me what you all think!
